Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Toronto for a Memorable Dinner Experience

KM

My husband has celiac and so we never eat anywhere that is 100% GF. I had read great reviews online about Riz’s and when we were there on a trip I pushed for us to go and try it. I am so glad I did, every dish we tried was delicious. I loved how soft and tender the dumplings were, the Peking duck and wrappers were amazing. The Peking dumpling special were so flavorful and tender. We over ordered at the table knowing we would take it all back to the hotel for us to to reheat and eat the rest of the week. Peking Duck for breakfast is something everyone should try, it was amazing the next morning still. The owner was so gracious and friendly, we listened to every recommendation and was thrilled with everything we had. We even took one of each dessert home and they were all amazing. I highly recommend eating here for celiacs and non celiacs alike. It is so wonderful to find a place that understands the importance of a GF completely safe no cross contamination kitchen AND also makes the most delicious Asian food you can have. While we didn’t have every item on the menu we did try a lot of plates and every single plate was delicious. We will ALWAYS come back when in Toronto, this restaurant is such a win, I wish they delivered to Brooklyn 🥰

Amazing 100% gluten free restaurant

As a celiac, I was almost glutened here. When I asked a server if the beer was gluten free, I was told everything on the menu was. But when my lager arrived, the bottle listed barley. I double checked with another server, who confirmed it wasn’t gluten free, apologized, and kindly brought me a quinoa-based beer instead (which was good, just a little warm). I don’t want to be too harsh. Overall, the food was great, and it’s such a gift to have a spot where I can enjoy a tres leches cake without fear. But this experience is a good reminder to always double check, even in places that seem safe. It also highlights how important it is for all staff to be fully trained on gluten and allergens.

Absolutely worth going to. Yes my short review is biased, but if you read the longer version below. It’ll make sense. Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Speed: 10/10 For the longer review - those who care to read: I won't pretend the restaurant is like a five-star hotel. In comparison to your top high-end luxury restaurants, it would be four stars. But you can't compare apples to oranges. The one most crucial thing to note is the belief, the idea, and the story behind the restaurant. They are specially tailored to people who have strict allergy requirements. My personal needs are to avoid gluten, nuts, egg, and more. Try that anywhere else…. Most places will just "nicely" shoo you away—and while I understand any restaurant ultimately is a business to cater to the masses, those of us who have strict, deathly dietary requirements can finally experience a place to dine without fear. To enjoy a time with family and friends eating the same things. To experience the fun and joy of picking at another person's plate. For those reasons, and to me, it's better than any Michelin-star restaurant. If you have allergies to gluten, if you have celiac disease, you can finally share the experience too. You may come out an emotional train wreck like me.

In my humble yet educated opinion (18 years celiac ) this is the best bakery I have ever eaten at. Great options for the dairy free and vegan eaters as well. From the ease of ordering 2 loaves of olive bread to the warm friendly atmosphere at the store my experience was perfect. I walked in expecting bread and left with so many sweet and savoury treats. Great little store for products as well. If you’re in the area for work or for a holiday and have special food needs this is the place to check out .

Amazing options, great food, friendly staff!

Sierra Martindale

Sushi was delicious and great gluten free options. Staff was wonderful and tables were clean, as well as the rest of the establishment. Great experience would recommend.

Absolutely LOVE this spot, have eaten in-restaurant twice over the last year, and ordered delivery multiple times, with someone Celiac at home we have NEVER had any issues with gluten! Food is delicious and fresh, service is spectacular, honestly absolutely love this place! We’ve had oysters, fish & chips, tacos, poutine (also a fan of their vegan options for poutine, garlic aioli and tartar sauce!), their deep fried Oreos are to die for, and the selections for beers and drinks are always nice! (Ps, sorry for the almost demolished food pic, have tried and failed to take a picture before digging in for almost a year now)

! Celiac disease friendly ! So many options/substitutions for celiacs. My husband was able to enjoy a breakfast sandwich with home fries... that looked and tasted great! The pricing was fair and affordable which was also a plus. This will be our go to spot when visiting Toronto.

Janice Mccormack

it was a great meal. 5 of us with different allergies, and ever one was happy. thanks

Nicole Smith

Wow! I was visiting from the states for a concert that got cancelled but I guess that was a blessing in disguise as that gave us a chance to stop here to eat. The owner/server was friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic! I have celiac so I was absolutely drawn here for the GF options. They asked about dietary restrictions up front and I felt comfortable and safe. The food was delicious and my non GF fiancé loved it as well. Dedicated fryers are hard to come by (at least back home) so I took advantage of having one of my old favorites, poutine! It was perfectly layered so each bite was tasty, not like a lot of places that will just dump the gravy and cheese on top leaving you with a plate of dry fries underneath. It was also my first crab cake in years, and it really took me back to the Lexington Market in Baltimore when I was younger (it was actually better). The margarita hit the spot and the homemade hot sauce was super tasty. I will 100% be stopping back next time in I’m Toronto, thank you so much!!!

Gluten free crust is amazing! Loved the place

Vaidehi Patel

I came here to dine in last weekend for the first time, closer to their closing time and was greeted very nicely and food was very amazing! I love all gluten free idea. My drink was a bit bitter so i went and asked for a different drink, the supervisor (im assuming, short brown guy) was very rude to me and said, “what do you want then?” And then slammed the drink on the floor. This is ridiculous behaviour. I understand the hurry to close but this is not the way to go!

Absolutely blown away by Rouge Kitchen! We discovered this gem through the Find Me Gluten Free app and it exceeded all expectations. Dining with someone with celiac, I’m always cautious for them, but Jeff and Jo are incredibly knowledgeable and allergy-aware—they took the time to explain their processes and made us feel completely safe. Nearly everything on the menu can be made gluten free, and they have a dedicated fryer, which is so rare and appreciated. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, and you can really taste the care and quality in every small-batch, homemade dish. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The food is always fresh, delicious, and made to order—highlights for us were the chicken tenders and Mac n cheese! They are so friendly and helpful, making every visit feel special. If you’re looking for a place that truly understands gluten-free and allergy needs, Rouge Kitchen is a must-visit in Scarborough and worth the drive. Highly recommend! Five stars!

Sara Pezzella

Gluten free pizza and sushi are all phenomenal!

Robert Gullins

Great celiac selections

Meag Moar

Visiting Toronto from US. This is our first time at a Burger’s Priest and it will definitely not be the last. We are so thoroughly impressed with how delicious the food was here. We thought it was going to be like any other fast food burger joint, but it was definitely better. We ordered burgers, fries, a hotdog, and a milkshake. All delicious. We have a gluten allergy in the family and the gluten-free bread was so much better than any they’ve had.Nina greeted us with a huge smile and was super accommodating

Dipankar Arora

Healthy food. While ordering I was told that everything here is gluten free. I tried K & K lasagna.

Stephanie

I am embarrassingly obsessed with the sriracha pineapple cauliflower wings here. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, sweet, spicy, crispy, and served on a bed of crunchy kale. It’s technically an appetizer it’s honestly a full meal lol. The portion is huge and so so good. Whenever I’m hungry and don’t know what I want, my boyfriend knows to just pick these up for me and I’ll be a happy girl. We’re moving out of the city soon, so they shared the recipe for the wings and the sauce with me for when I’m craving it - 10/10 staff. Whether you're plant-based or not, get them.

Eric Shaw

Gluten restriction or not, this place did not disappoint with food or drinks! Service was also some of the best. Wish I could remember our server's name because he was awesome and knowledgeable of the menu.

Alison Wills

Great gluten free menu The fries were so good. Can't wait to go back

Michelle De Berardinis

Amazing momos with gluten free options. The staff were very nice and the broth and butter tea were a nice addition. Great atmosphere too.

Maureen Carter-Whitney

Delicious multi-course lunch with creative and tasty food. Loved the Roma salad, calamari and salmon entree - all perfectly prepared. The gluten-free pizza was excellent - one of the best I’ve tried! Lovely space and warm service.

Laureano Ottonello Tanno

Excellent Latino restaurant with gluten-free options. Thank you, we will definitely come back!

Cristiano Therrien

Tasty gluten-free food, thank you!

This was my second time eating here and although the food was delicious giving my celiac wife Tom Yum soup that wasn’t prepared gluten free is unacceptable. We came here back in September because of there large selection of items that can be made gluten free and celiac safe. The server who helped us the first time was very knowledgeable and said they would take extra caution. This time we told the server at least three different times that my wife was celiac and we will order everything gluten free. She still asked about allergies and then assured us everything would be gluten free. A different server or food runner brought the soup and then walked away. Our server brought the mains and said both dishes are gluten free. When we got the bill the two main dishes said **allergy next to it but the soup didn’t. I was hopeful that it was a typo and the soup was gluten free…not 10 minutes later as we got back to the hotel my wife’s celiac flair was in full force and she was out for the night in pain. It’s disappointing that a restaurant with a Michelin star would be this careless

The Bread Essentials

The Gluten Free Tabulé and the pita bread was great! Everything I had was Gluten Free and we all had a great dinner and evening, we even purchased Kefte to cook at home.

Ben Kidd

Excellent gluten-free pasta, possibly the best gluten free pasta in the city.

Jess S

Great pizza and pasta! Also have awesome gluten free pizza!

Krystle Manintveld

Food is decent. It's great that they have a gluten free eggs benny. Potatoes were definitely undercooked. It is always busy and a zoo to get in - not necessarily worth the wait to get in.

Varsha Dinodia

My to-go dinning joint when I wish to eat at Toronto’s BEST vegan and plant based fine dining cuisine at Planta- Toronto Queen Street location. From wait staff to servers and of-course the food- the bestest of ALL. I have soy and gluten allergy and the kitchen took care of my dietary request-with utmost love and care. I enjoyed my meal very much like always and I have been a patron for almost 10 years now. Because Planta is Planta. Thankyou :)

Jennifer Iacono

Amazing lamb!!! Great gluten-free wraps, too!

Ryley N

Lots of delicious gluten free options! In fact, they have an entire gluten free menu and they are highly knowledgeable about it! The breakfast menu is my favourite :)

Jodi Kipp

Great place for gluten & dairy free food!!

Raminder Dhaliwal

Hidden gem, love it. So many gluten free options!!! Thank you for having this. They even have gluten free ravioli and garlic bread

Maddie Todd

Always great to find a gluten free option! Food was delicious!

Harsh Brar

I recently visited the burger priest and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was top-notch. The Specially gluten free was amazing and were particularly impressive, making the visit memorable. And they were top of my allergy note. A big shoutout to KOMAL for recommending this spot and burgwr. Hardly restaurant have gluten free burger but i really love the gluten bun and always priest burger is the best burger it truly exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to returning soon!"

Mollybedenim

Sasha gave us wonderful service and our food was amazing! We had a friend with celiac with us and they accommodated her very well!

Alex Andro

Came here for the gluten free dumplings people raved about. Got pork and vegetarian. The dough was a little crumbly, which made them a little tough to eat, but I still loved the ability to have something gluten free that normally isn't! I was hoping there might be more options on the menu for gluten free items, but that was all I saw (and essentially what I came for). If I were not allergic to broccoli, I would have tried the beef and broccoli, which I was told could be made gluten free.

Madelaine Espinosa

Food was really good! Love that everything is gluten free. Rudi was really nice!!

Ellen Musgrove

nice place , clean and it’s nice to know it’s fully gluten free

Catherine Trull

Marsha Lebeau

This cozy cafe had an amazing selection of delicious and beautiful treats. Vegan, gluten-free, savoury and sweet....it met all our needs!!!! We will make this a regular stop between Ottawa and Kitchener !!!!

Erica M

I love Beertown. Not just because they satisfy my foodie cravings for meat, nutrition and flavour…but also because they cater to the dairy and gluten-free side of me with an ENTIRE MENU OF GOODNESS.

Joel Abram

Our server Karan was so great and fantastic and was so knowledgeable about the menu. The food was pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. We were especially excited about the gluten free options and the first good gluten free poutine we've seen in years. The milkshake was delicioso yum yum yum yum. The rooftop patio was skibbity.

Andy L

Great Pizza!! We got the gluten free options! P.S to the employees please smile! Giving a small smile would be much appreciated for your hard work :)

Alexandre Bujold

Great Place, Gluten free burger Buns are insane !!! Great staff !

Camille Cayot

A great place to create your own gluten-free bowl, just the way you like it. A special mention for their paleo pecan pie bar: delicious 🤤 Build-your-own gluten-free bowls + their paleo pecan pie bar = 🤤

Gabrielle Watson

Unfortunately they ran out of the food I really wanted to try (the achiote chicken quesadilla), but the rancheros were really good anyways. Loved the homemade hot sauce and ketchup as well. My partner and friend thought their iced coffee was a little watered down tasting/not strong enough, but even for them the food made up for it. They had the brisket hash. Really cute place, the patio looked like a nice set up as well. Good options for people who eat vegetarian and gluten free. Service was friendly and attentive as well!

Dave Smith

Dave's Genuine is comfort food—pure and simple—especially if you grew up eating deli sandwiches, or Kosher favorites like matzoh ball soup. The turkey club is probably my favorite sandwich of all time, and Dave's Genuine makes a killer one. Best of all, it can be made gluten-free—safe for someone who has Celiac disease, like me. In fact, Dave's Genuine makes a real effort to accommodate gluten allergies because the owner's daughter also has Celiac, so he understands the ins and outs of cross contamination. In my most recent order, Dave's even sent me a free batch of fries with a kind note on it, promising they're prepared separately and fried in their own GF fryer. After trying these fries for the first time—crispy and light, by the way—I knew I needed to write this review. The customer service here is truly impeccable, and so is the quality of the food. Pro-tip: Try the smoked meat, it's insanely good.
