Love, love, love this place. Arguably the best selection of dairy-free ice cream in town, and every flavour I’ve tried has been amazing. My favourite so far is Roseberry Ave (done as an ice cream sandwich). I shop here regularly to satisfy my sweet-tooth, and I don’t think I’ve yet to walk out the door without a double scoop of nice-cream in a gluten-friendly cone and a freezer bag full of pints and sandwiches.

Be love is quite literally the best restaurant we've ever dined at. We've been several times now and have never been disappointed. The quality and portions are consistent, flavors are unbelievable. Everything is so fresh, you can really feel the love poured into every dish. A dream spot for anyone who is vegan and/or gluten free but ive also dined there with friends who are neither who have said it's the best food they've had. Keep doing what you're doing, its magic! ❤️🌷🙏

This place is one of the best restaurants we've been to in a while. Everything we had was fantastic: Beef tenderloin carpaccio, smoked chicken penne, pan seared miso halibut, blackened creole chicken.
My wife has celiac and they have a lot of options. The gluten free penne was probably the best GF pasta she has tried.
We also had a few cocktails and they were all well made. Earl Grey Martini was a stand out for me.
Our server was very nice and accommodating as well and service was very fast.

The pizza is awesome, and really great late night. Gluten free is good too with a tasty crust! Cross contamination can be a thing if you're celiac so heads up. Its so good that its often very busy which means orders can take a while and we now go and pickup because delivery was always taking too long. We still keep going back though cuz its 👌 super tasty.

Tucked in on Wharf (with another spot on Yates), Dosa Paragon nails South Indian comfort food with crispy, perfectly fermented dosas, tangy coconut and tomato chutneys, and hearty sambhar . The signature dishes—like the Butter Chicken Masala Dosa and Mysore Masala Dosa—burst with authentic, bold flavours you won’t easily find elsewhere on Vancouver Island .
Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options make it inclusive and appealing to many dietary preferences. Many guests rave about crisp dosas and excellent chutneys: “Bomb.com for dosa lovers!” . One Redditor even called it “the only proper South Indian restaurant on the island” , and another praised the Butter Chicken Dosa as “fantastic!” .
Service and atmosphere can vary—some mention occasional slowdowns at peak times or small portion sizes for chutney —but most reviews highlight friendly staff and a cozy setup.
Highlights
• Exceptional, large, crispy dosas with vibrant fillings
• Delicious chutneys & hearty sambar
• Inclusive menu: vegan/gluten‑free friendly
• Filter coffee and mango lassi round out the meal nicely
Tips
• Go during off-peak hours to avoid waits
• Parking can be tricky near Yates—Wharf location offers easier access
Bottom line: Authentic South Indian cuisine with bold flavours, a welcoming vibe, and a menu that satisfies vegans and gluten‑free diners alike. A must-visit for dosa lovers in Victoria!

While it was great they had gluten free waffle options, you only get 1 Belgium waffle and if you’re hungry, it won’t be enough. An order of thick cut bacon on the side helped fill the void. Oat milk for our coffees was nice, and the coffee cup sizes are kind of small given the $5 charge. Overall, it was decent - it was a breakfast start to a busy morning - but we’d likely go elsewhere for more value and larger portions.
This cozy cafe charms with funky brick walls and local art, creating a warm, welcoming vibe that feels like home. Known for its supportive, inclusive environment, it offers great service and a perfect neighborhood social spot for gluten-free diners.

Paid 16 dollars (as I gave 2 dollar tip) for some good tasting chicken soup. I was disappointed to see there were only like 3 tiny pieces of chicken in the soup. Also for folks who don’t want bread, maybe provide a gluten free option or reduce the overall price of the meal. The servers were very kind and the soup tasted good but for the price point not so much!

NOT great for someone who has Celiac as very limited GF options (no GF burger buns) - they are clear that they cannot guarantee cross contamination, etc. HOWEVER, we did take a chance and ordered the Bacun Crafty Mac N Cheese dish with GF pasta - it was delicious! And so was the London Fog! The staff are friendly and helpful. And the atmosphere was relaxing. Nice to have tasty Vegan food in Victoria!
