Top 46 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots Across Hamilton

Marissa Hay

Whoever we interacted with (I think the owner?) was very attentive to my friend and I, and the other patrons. I loved that everything what gluten free!! The food was classic and delicious. The frozen fish to take home looked vibrant and yummy too!

Julia made this an incredible experience! I am so grateful for Julia and The Mule, as a celiac and anaphylactic to Peanuts and Tree Nuts, my time finding restaurants that I feel truly safe is rare. This was the first place in Canada where I felt that safety to just explore the menu, relax, and enjoy. Everyone that came to our table was kind, informed, and awesome! Also the food IS AMAZING! Best tacos I’ve had in Ontario. Thank you again to Julia and the team for making a memorable meal and amazing experience. Will be coming back to Hamilton just for The Mule!

It's expensive but it's worth every penny. Gluten free options including buns for the burgers and sandwiches

Shannon Freeman

New owner (Raj) has really outdone himself! The new layout is beautiful—a fun, fresh vibe for sure! Food is still delicious, lots of variety (the gluten free fish n chips are AMAZING!), and the staff are very friendly. Will come back for sure!

Love it here. It’s so cozy. Lots of their little treats and baked goods are gluten free and I believe they are all vegan. Their brunch menu is good too! Very generous portions. They always play the perfect cozy calm music, you can reserve a table which I would recommend doing on the weekends. I’m the warmer months they have some patio tables out on the sidewalk to watch all the Locke street dogs walking by. The banana bread is 20/10. I also love their matcha oat latte with strawberry syrup.

I’ve never had a complaint about this place. Well, maybe that it’s not closer to my house 😂 Such good food, friendly service and some tasty gluten free options too!

8 of us went for a work gathering and I can't even begin to caution against here enough! From being sat at the incorrect table and moved, to tables thag wobble and having to finally swap thw table ourselves (after mentioning this to our server) To only.part.of our ppl getting a drink and others flagging one down, apparently the breaded cauliflower os now needed broccoli without even so much as a heads up. Orders were screwy. Salads with wrong dressing x2, I'm gluten free and ordered no bun but.got.the bun and when this was pointed out I got.a dry overcooked -borderline burnt burger without and condiments. Another of us ordered a salad.with grilled chicken only to be asked a whole.later again what protein she wanted. We were asked 2 mins after getting our apps how we were doing but not again. The restaurant was awful, service & food. As we.are management from a local store celebrating this was very disappointing. We try and support local businesses but we definitely will not be back.

We used to come here all the time - and it was great. Then last year we went and I noticed the gluten free pizza did not taste the same as it had. Took a break from Caro, then decided to give it another go, and it is disgusting. The gluten free dough *was* the best in the city (I’ve been gluten free for 10 years and tried many places), and it appears they changed the dough. Not sure why they would change it because the last 2 times it has been horrible. Couldn’t even finish a slice. Very disappointing! Will not be returning, and I no longer will be recommending Caro as a gluten free option

This is a very cozy spot that my friend and I have visited on a few occasions now. Every time we are greeted with AMAZING service, everyone is so pleasant and knowledgeable about all the options available, especially for my friend who has a gluten intolerance - one of the few places that has a good amount of options for that dietary restriction. I impulsively decided on a dessert which also ended up being fantastic.

Mary was our server, very friendly. Also we loved the gluten free options!

The food here is consistently fresh and tasty and never disappoints me. Gluten free options are plentiful too! Love this place

Amazing food! Always freshly made. My daughter is celiac and when I let them know through a note left with my online order they called me back almost immediately to assure me that they take allergies very seriously. They took all precautions to prevent cross contamination and also had gluten free soy sauce. Atmosphere rating doesn’t really count as its take out only.

We came here last night with friends. It was a last-minute decision to try Bangkok Spoon, and we've wanted to go for a while but never made it until now. The atmosphere is very nice, with partitions between some tables that create a more intimate setting. We tried a few dishes, including Bangkok Pad Thai, spicy noodles, tiger shrimp spring rolls, pepper beef, mixed vegetables, vegetable rice, and garlic string beans. First of all, I want to mention that our waiter was a very nice and courteous gentleman. However, he seemed to struggle with remembering some of our requests. One issue was that the spicy noodles were forgotten in our order, which was a meal for one of us. While the rest of us were eating, he was still waiting for his dish. When it finally arrived, our friend, who is celiac, had to double-check to ensure that the item was gluten-free, but it wasn’t. This led to it being taken back to the kitchen, and our friend had to wait again for his meal while we continued to eat. We tried to be patient, but with the two mix-ups, our food was getting cold. The waiter seemed eager to please but just wasn’t having the best night. We also asked for soy sauce, which was forgotten and required a reminder before it was brought to us. After all of these service issues, when the bill was delivered, the spicy noodles were not taken off our bill, which our friend had to ask to be corrected. It should have been done automatically without us needing to ask. Thank you for trying to make it better by giving us a scoop of ice cream. I hope that the waiter has better days in the future. Overall, while the food was very tasty, it wasn’t plentiful for four people, and the price was a bit high. For that price, we could’ve had an AYCE meal. While the food was good, the service had some hiccups that impacted our overall experience. I hope they can improve on that for future visits!

decided to go to Caro for a gluten free pizza tonight . server came to tell us they were out of at least 3 items on the menu and many types of drinks then waited to order -crickets waited 20 min … no one took our order we left … terrible service sorry not sorry

Lilly Rendulic

I always enjoy the gluten free menu options here…especially the coconut curry dish. Server Elwira was friendly.

Leanne Gilbert

I have to eat gluten free as I'm celiac & family members kindly picked me up some GF morning glory muffins from Paisley Cafe to try. Wow...best GF muffin I've ever had!!! I will be making the 45 minute drive to see them soon (& I suspect often!) to hopefully get more muffins & try whatever other GF delights they have! I wish I still worked at McMaster University so I could visit them every day!! :-) **Update - visited in person - do be careful if celiac as server used same tongs on regular gluteny treats on the GF treats. I didn't notice the tongs weren't fresh until midway through server packing up my goodies & I ended up having to give away $30 worth of treats as I couldn't eat them. My bad, I should have asked server to use fresh tongs when I ordered.

Amanda Bell

Jessica T was great - super personable and just enough of checks without being annoying. Thanks for gluten free options!!

The room was a bit dark, we had to ask for cutlery but the food was very good. Nice size portions and a choice of Gluten Free options.

karen thacker

A happening place everyone must try. Gluten intolerant, no problem.

Candice Truong

I absolutely love this place. The price is super worth it for the quality.

Amy P

One of our favorite restaurants in Hamilton! When we dine in, the staff are always so friendly. We like to get the katsu curry and karaage donburi - both delicious, and gluten-free! Looking forward to trying their sushi soon. 😊

We had a great birthday lunch at this location. As a Celiac I always appreciate the dedicated fryer. Our server Ashley was fantastic. Very funny, very attentive, and surprised our son with a dessert. She even noticed my husband’s beer didn’t look quite right and replaced it. Will definitely come back to this location.

Kevin Whalen

Excellent food, excellent service. My wife and I held our rehearsal dinner at the Motel Restaurant and it was a great time. The vibes were really great, the service was excellent, and the food, wow the food. The food was outstanding, they also had some excellent vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options for our wedding party who have those dietary restrictions. This was good quality food too, these restrictions were not an after thought they clearly made meals taste good with said restrictions and our guests loved them. I would recommend booking your next event or dinner night at Motel Restaurant!

Fiorel Tuli

The food here is fantastic, They have fresh authentic mexican dishes with many options including gluten free an extensive dedicated vegan/vegetarian menu which is not common for most mexican restaurants! I tried the tacos and they were fresh, tasty and came with authetic dips, birria juice and authentic mexican spice dip, They also had amazing fresh juices like strawberries berry and mango and much more The service was very friendly and fast, I will highly recommend!

We travelled 2 hours to eat dinner here. Destination choice. Us and our friends (4 top) The dining room was busy, loud and full of laughter. The Kitchen was on a lull when we sat down for our 7 pm table, as we had a front row seat to see what they are up to. What they are "up to" is a LOT. As is the whole restaurant. Great greeting at the door, good well timed and solid service by the whole team, table visit from the Manager to say hello and chat for a minute. Very well made drinks, good wine selection by the glass, big tables, nice big chairs. Details. They have these covered. As the second rush hit, and the Kitchen crew was heading into what I know was the second stretch of service in a 10+ hour day, they did not let up. All of the parts of the dishes we ordered had their full attention. The salad, venison carpaccio and squash fritters were delicious, proportional and looked fantastic. The frites on the burger and flat iron steak (both cooked as ordered, delicious and served hot) were crisp and seasoned. The gnocchi was so good my wife purposefully did not finish so she could take some home to have the next day and my duck leg had crispy skin, soft delicious meat and slightly textured cabbage, with potatoes, proper lardons and a balance of tart mustard. There was dessert too after all of that great food, a smooth and full-of-real-vanilla-bean brulee and a light lemon tart. Espresso martinis after the meal instead of coffee. I am a full blown celiac diner who understands that there will be dishes that I just cannot have and yet I had numerous menu choices as well as un-requested thoughtful additions provided (gluten free crackers for my carpaccio) This is a restaurant business that you can go to knowing that all of the people that are here are working to put out the very best over-all experience they can, and have been doing so for the past several years. In a changing time of eating out and deciding where to go and what to get, my wife put it perfectly - "Go somewhere that can exceed your expectations" The French does just that.

The Burnt Ends were tender and succulent, the Red Cabbage was just right--not too sweet-- and just as I remember as a kid at home, and the Fries were crisp and hot. Most important of the, the Staff were super helpful and friendly, and they went out of their way to make sure that the order was gluten-free, low salt, and that I was able to have it delivered. Exceptional service and food.

I'm celiac and I was able to eat here no problem

Heather Pease

They just put out a summer menu and it was excellent. Best to go with a group and share. They were able to accommodate for my celiac. Try the whipped feta. It was out of this world. The waitress was lovely and we didn’t need for anything.

Service has been great every time we’ve gone and my kids love the birthday cake pancakes. I’ve usually been very happy with the food and grateful for the many gluten free options but this time my food was actually cold—not even room temp/warm, but cold as I’d it has recently come out of a refrigerator. My daughter also had the top of the syrup container come off as she was pouring some on her pancake. The staff were very apologetic and assured her that it wasn’t her fault (apparently it’s not uncommon). It was a busy morning, so I didn’t say anything about the temp of my food. Most of the time I would give five stars and we will still go back—I’ll just assume that this was an off day. Service was still great and I’m sure if I had said something, they would have addressed the cold food issue but maybe we won’t go back on holidays in the future 😬😅

This place is great. Very tasty. Lots of gluten free options for folks that need it.

Everything here is 11/10. Definitely get the salmon sushi and then watch yourself want a second one. Fries are a must. The PB espresso martini is painfully good. And they are exceptional at managing celiac/gluten intolerance. Great every time - thank you guys!

Catherine Dunn

SO rude. falsely advertised gluten free menu and then IDing my family and I when we are clearly 21 and over. pompously and thinks they are above everyone. we left and didn’t even order . what a joke. not loyal to locals.

zenithia

By far the best pasta restaurant ever! I have been going for over 15 years, and the food is always exceptional! The service is above par, and you are treated like royalty. The restaurant is small, but very clean and intimate. My husband has a gluten allergy which they accommodate. I live over an hour away but am happy to make the trip! Be sure to make a reservation, you will not be disappointed!
