Top 42 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Beltline, Calgary

Geoff Redknap

The best gluten-free crust I have ever had. Made in house. You can’t tell the difference from the wheat one.

Chloë Chapdelaine

This is one of the first places I’ve had gluten-free Chinese food, and it reminds me of my childhood when my parents would treat me to (regular) Chinese food before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Both my mom and I have celiac disease and have eaten here with confidence, as they have separate fryers to keep you safe. The ginger beef, sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, and dumplings are my favourites (I couldn’t pick just one 🙊), and I’ve come here time and time again. AND- If you’re in for a crazy time, I recommend dining in after a late night out on the town (I won’t spoil the surprise but let me tell you, it’s unlike any dining experience I’ve ever had before and was unforgettable…).

Love this place. Best restaurant in Calgary. so many vegan and celiac safe options.

Pros: - Most of the menu can be made gluten free - JFK is a really tasty - We had a great server - Cool wall graffiti, lots to look at Cons: - Ramen made me feel sick had the regular Tonkotsu - Two employees or ex employees were super drunk yelling at the bar. The restaurant was empty so it was a little obnoxious - The restaurant smells like spray paint - The employees had all their stuff thrown onto a table, looked messy

Clive Burger is our family's favourite Calgary burger joint! We love that you can customize your burger however you like it with a wide variety of standard and gourmet toppings. They have the best gluten free burger bun of anywhere I've been, and the fryer isn't cross contaminated so I can eat the fries. Which are so delicious - salty, crispy, and accompanied by Clive sauce (think Sriracha aioli). If you're feeling playful, try their milkshakes, which come spiked if you want.

Great gluten-free options!

Amazing poutine! Attended with a friend from Australia and we were both blown away. We had the Notorious PIG and the Cluster Buck. Wife had a Cluster Buck with vegan cheese and gluten free gravy. Staff was very accommodating to her allergies without issue! Would highly recommend!

I had the BEST brunch today at Red's Diner. They have plenty of options on the menu including vegetarian and gluten-free ones. I ordered the Montreal Smoked Meat Hash and it was scrumptious. I've never really liked hollandaise sauce but Red's does it so well that I ate all of it. The portion sizes are on par with the price. I left the restaurant pretty full and satisfied. The atmosphere is quite cozy and the waitresses were super friendly. I see why Red's Diner is so beloved in the community now!

The gluten free pizza crust is some of the best we have had! Also for someone with a dairy intolerance, they had great options as well!

Alexis Cruz

I highly recommend this succulent little brunch spot! Lena, our server was a doll! And looked after us superbly!. I am celiac myself, it’s always nice to find a spot that can cater to someone with severe allergies/sensitivities to food.

Alex Morrill

Had the gluten free waffle and bacon and both were great. The waffle was an especially nice treat and was crunchy and soft and flavourful. I forgot to ask if the buckwheat pancakes were gluten-free but they looked good, maybe I'll try them next time.

Andrea Cormie

Love coming here for brunch. Super decadent and always great service. Also my gluten sensitive mom loves the gluten free bread option and also we appreciate the alberta farm fresh eggs.

Keaton Strasky

One of my favourite Calgary spots yet. Exceptional staff. Great atmosphere- not too loud at all. I dine out 2-3x/ week and after 4 months into this city- this is a top spot. I’m celiac- tons of options and very helpful staff.

Paul Brinton

The food is delicious, and the staff is friendly and helpful. They have a great variety of gluten-friendly options.

The place to go for tacos! Food, service & atmosphere were great! They give you a free house shot on your birthday and it's delicious! If you're celiac, very knowledgeable staff and lots of great options that are gluten free!

Daneen Asim

The best service in downtown Calgary by far, our server Mariem (Mariam?) was super helpful and super kind. She accommodated all our requests as my fiancé can only eat gluten free and his sister is vegetarian. She provided us with all the appropriate menu options and made sure that there was no cross contamination with the meals. She really exceeded our expectations and I've never met a server so accommodating to all our dietary restrictions.

randy serak

What a great place to stop and have a meal. They have a very nice patio that's heated. We had the cheese fondue with sirloin steak for protein. The fondue came with a basket of bread and a plate of veggies. They also gave us potato chips as one we needed a gluten-free option instead of bread. They are pooch friendly!

Astha Chawla

My favooooouriteeeeee coffee shop in all of Calgary. Coziest place and best for working. It’s like my hidden gem 🥹✨ love their gluten free granola bars so much!!! I get one each week

Review Bust

Not safe for anyone with allergies, especially celiac where all grains can cause an immune response in advanced cases. I asked the guy working there if the GF bun had rice in it and he was fully confident it didn’t. I shouldn’t have trusted him. We will never be going back here. Horrible business. Why not just be honest? I would have happily had the lettuce wrap to save myself all of the pain and internal break down of my system.

Violet Rose

Gluten free is not stated on the menu, but they had quite a few options.

Twyla Misurko

Amazing sandwich! Gluten free option was great.

Terry Hughes

OMG! So good. I have walked past this place hundreds of times and finally had breakfast there on Easter Sunday. Everything was fantastic: the server brought us coffee outside while we waited, wow. Inside it's such an authentic old diner with seating at the bar and a few booths. So cool. The chefs cook the food right in front of your eyes, it was fascinating to watch them work so hard. And the food itself is sublime! What an experience. One thing to note: due to them having 1 smallish grill I can't imagine they can cater to vegans or gluten intolerant people.

Tosha Bow

I tried ordering a week ago and had difficulty with one of the staff, she told me nothing was gluten free however it is clearly advertised that they have many gluten free options. . I am a celiac so definitely needed to confirm what I was ordering was Gluten Free and would be prepared safely. I reached out on Facebook and got a proper response. Tonight I was able to order through Uber the food was flavourful and we have leftovers. Excellent portions, delicious flavours. Fantastic customer service from the Owner. You must try the oxtail. The curry chicken is also enjoyable along with the jerk chicken. Yes, all gluten free along with the rice and beans and Coleslaw. Thank you : )

Amanda Leigh

Cute little cafe with friendly staff and lots of options!! Unfortunately a lot of the breakfast options weren't gluten free, but I was still able to get the sweet quinoa bowl and it was delicious! I've been following the creator on YouTube since I became vegan so I was really excited to try this place (:

Zoë K

Amazing for GLUTEN FREE!! Must try for their delicious tapas style plates - would love to go back!

Marie-Noel Voyer

In all my years living in Calgary I’ve never been here. I even remember the commercials as a child. It was such a fun time!! The food was great, the experience fun, and the chef funny. I think I’ll definitely be back!! I eat gluten free and they prepared my food in the back and I haven’t had any issues. So good job on serving gluten free!!

Jaret Hargreaves

Probably the best soft tacos I’ve ever had. And gluten-free so my lovely partner can have them!

Kris McMahon

Went to this place with a friend specifically for gluten free drinks and food they advertised. After pointing to every gf tagged item on the menu and told "no sorry that can't be made gluten free" we paid our bill and left.

Jane Wilder

Food was very good but the service was horrible. Did not even come close to warranting the automatic 20% tip that was added to our bill. We felt completely ignored by our waiter… it was also frustrating because when I went inside to use the washroom and there was not as a single person dining inside- I’m not sure why the service was so terrible to be honest. Also extremely disappointed by the drinks- they were sooo watered down. Even though they were discounted they literally were just juice in a cup entirely filled with ice. Not one person in our group was even a tiny bit tipsy after like 4 or 5 drinks each. Also our friend specifically requested gluten free buns but was brought regular buns and told that he could take the burgers apart if he wanted to… and then was still charged for the burgers they got wrong. For a real allergy this is something they should take extremely seriously and it’s crazy to me that they didn’t. Would not recommend!!!!!!!!! There are restaurants to either side that are way better.

Marie-Noel Voyer

Love the sushi here!! Portions are big and I always feel satisfied eating there. I usually order and have it delivered. I found it hard to go pick up because there is no parking anywhere. They are always excellent with requests with extra ginger and gluten free soy sauce. They always get it right!! I’ve eaten there at least a dozen times.

Great little breakfast spot In a diner/ collective market. Very cute and perfect for dairy and gluten free ppl like myself. The name brought me in. I love a good pun

khadija zehra

It was a good experience to be able to find a good gluten free yet light on the pocket pizza. The vegan and cheese goodness was real on the taste buds, and enough for me relish every moment of the bite I took. 4 star because the crust at the corners kind of became a hard biscuit after sometime, but thats understandable with a gluten free dough, overall recommended!

Sarah Bauerlein

Best gluten free crust I have ever eaten and I have tried a few places. Owner is also super friendly and very sweet! This is my go-to pizza joint now 😁

Rob Anderson

Wonderful food and service. Salvo served us and we were happy to hear he was from Italy as well. We were celebrating a birthday for a celiac and they had a signed card at the table. Also provided a gluten free dessert. Highly recommended for celiacs and meat lovers. The lamb and pineapple was the best!
