Incredible food and atmosphere. We shared the brussel sprouts, scallops and risotto and all was gluten free and so yummy. Cocktails were also great!

I had a fantastic experience here and was especially impressed with our server, Jenelle. As someone with celiac disease, I truly appreciated how knowledgeable and accommodating she was when helping me navigate the menu. She made the ordering process seamless and was incredibly patient with us throughout our visit.

Kristin Gudim

I was at a conference at the hotel and needed a no-gluten lunch option. Turns out they had a full no-gluten kitchen setup including deep fryer. I got to have fries, first time in a long time. They prepared me a light and custom open faced sandwich lunch with fries. Very tasty and very appreciated.

Christine D

Highly recommend for anyone looking for Gluten Free options, including desert!! Atmosphere was warm and cozy, service was efficient, friendly and helpful.

hlindenbach

Jax was so attentive and considerate when I mentioned my celiac allergy. He provided me with details on the on the drinks I could consume. Del came up to as and confirmed that service was provided to us. We appreciate the level of customer service that Jaxon and Del gave to us. 10/10 would come here again!!!

Love this place. Fantastic tonkatsu and gluten free options!

GorillaGrass Landscape Construction-Maintenance

Amazing gluten free pizza, highly recommend!

Natasha Abraham

I love that this place doesn’t up charge for a gluten free bun, and also offers a lettuce wrap. I had the turkey burger which was delicious, added goat cheese. Kamila is always so lovely. I always hope that she’s our server whenever we stop by!

Brenda Mackin

Our evening couldn’t have been better. Our server Carmen was professional, attentive and very personable. Our group of 6 included 1 who is celiac. Carmen was very knowledgeable and accommodating regarding celiac restrictions and made the dining experience stress free. Our food was, without exception, delicious, interesting, and hot. (Special mention to the unforgettable wok-fired calamari). We spent a very enjoyable evening at Saltlik and hope to be back for our next special occasion.

Ray Qureshi

Love the food and the ambience here! First of all the ambience is super chill, they have tons of greenery all over the restaurant. Bathrooms are neat and tidy which is always nice to see. The service was wonderful, I forget my servers name but everybody was super helpful. I got myself the Pesto Chicken Penne Penne Asiago and they were super accomodating for my Gluten Allergy!

Sori Luk

Great experience at Parlour Icecream today! The staff was super friendly, helpful and nice. The icecream was tasty. They had a good amount of gluten free options. And they took my celiac seriously and made sure to reduce the risk of cross contamination as much as possible they got new buckets and such. It was really great. And the scoops are huge.

Erin Mackenzie

This was the second time we went , and what a nice time. One of the best gluten free meals I have ever eaten. And the staff were fantastic. One customer had, had a few too many and the staff handled things with such professionalism. Thanks for making date night great.

Mariza van der Merwe

The best coffee in Calgary. But this is not the best part, oh no, wait till you try their gluten-free muffins. Simply delicious. Beautiful, warm and welcoming atmosphere. They also made extra sure the kids' hot chocolate drinks wasn't too hot. Thank you!

Jessica Fielding

Best Mexican food I've had since moving to Calgary! The staff also is very knowledgeable about gluten free options.

HARMAN SINGH BENIPAL

Had an amazing experience at Street Eatery! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Their menu has a great variety, with something for everyone, including fantastic vegan and gluten-free options. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is super friendly and attentive.

Jeanne Ferrer

My sister and I tried it for the first time this summer - and we are definitely coming back next time! They have gluten free options, their servers are nice and the service just requires a decent amount of waiting time.

Maureen Kolla

Impeccable service! Nalani went above and beyond by paying attention to little details like ensuring the appies we ordered were gluten free based on our drink order. Thanks for a great evening.

Charlie Kim

We ordered amazing gluten-free pizza The server is very kind and listens to what customer requests ! She made our day!

Dirk Schneider

Unfortunately, the visibility was very cloudy due to the forest fires, but we still had a very nice evening. Kimberly was extremely friendly with a natural manner and even loaned us two shirts as it was quite cold - thank you! The food was excellent, especially the tenderloin with shrimp was awesome :-) Gluten-free dishes were not marked on the menu, but we received competent information.

Alan McGillis

Perfect for Birthdays and Anniversaries. The staff is very welcoming and provide an excellent level of service. Celiac friendly. The kitchen was able to accomodate my dietary needs, even providing gluten free bread before the meal.

Melia Wylie

I ordered FraMe Cuisine for a Food security event at my workplace The Womens Centre Calgary. How impressed we were by the food is unspeakable, every item had so much flavour and clear soul put into it. Francine was quick to fill my last minute catering request, within my budget and the amount of food we got for what we spent was incredible. She is also such a warm and lovely person, it felt really valuable to be supporting her and a woman owned business that is African cuisine in Calgary. FraME also accommodates allergies and dietary restrictions very well. We were able to get vegetarian, vegan, meat and all gluten free options. The beans and rice seemed to be the top favorite of those attending our event, but we loved the chicken and veg as well. Looking forward to supporting again soon.

Vivek Joshi

Stopped by while enjoying a mild day walking by the river. Welcomed by Jess Lee, whose service thereafter and all through was attentive, friendly and hospitable. Their French Press coffee was stronger than expected, nothing like a spot of milk to temper it some. Their English Breakfast tea was served in just the right pot size, with the perfect teacup and saucer, and with milk and sugar on the side (all without asking). Their Steak BLT Sandwich was pretty good and paired with the soup-of-the-day (broccoli). Their Chickpea & Avocado Sandwich was okay and paired with the fries (which were crisp, thin, and just the right bite size). We would love to see them introduce a couple more gluten-free vegan options; perhaps even make them their specialty. We will be back for another meal. If one has not given them a try as yet - one should.

Jasmine Sweeney

Fun atmosphere, amazing food, and great live music! We booked a table for 2 for dinner after visiting the stampede grounds. We saw the restaurant as we passed by on our way to the grounds and it looked like a fun place to grab a bite to eat. I’m so glad we decided to give it a try. The band was awesome and the service was great. We ordered 2 drinks and a meal to share. We tried their new “Stampede Bowl” - you pick 2 bases, 1 protein, slaw, pickles, and cornbread. My friend has a gluten allergy and we were surprised at how many items on the menu she could have (fyi: not 100% celiac friendly- shared fryers). We shared the garlic shrimp bowl with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies, and we’re pleasantly surprised at the presentation and flavours. Super impressed! Everything on the plate was absolutely delicious. It was light but filling enough, and the perfect way to end our busy stampede day. Only small complaint is that the prices are a tad high, but it was worth it for a fun night out. And we completely understand that during times like this, food supplies are pricey as well. Overall, we loved our dinner at the King Eddy. We’ll definitely return knowing how amazing the food and atmosphere were.

Yummie sushi. Good prices. Very friendly staff. I am celiac and they were very helpful and accommodating.

Elin Murray

Had such a great time here! The staff are all so sweet and super knowledgeable. Very accommodating for celiac had no problems modifying everything we wanted to try! Had the beef tataki, agadashi tofu - lots of places won't do this gluten free so what a treat. Sashimi was all very fresh and tender. Hamachi jalapeño roll was also a favorite. Finished out with the traditional mochi and the red bean was perfect. Great sake list! Thanks so much to Judith and the team will be back very soon!

We decided to try their Sunday brunch buffet for a special occasion event and they did not disappoint! As they're part of the Hyatt Hotel they had beautiful Christmas decor which made the place look really nice. We received friendly service through the entire meal, although they forgot our drinks orders a few times and couldn't be found for a long time at one point. Their selection of food was excellent, with clear labels in front stating allergens or lack of. I actually found many items were gluten and dairy free, which is great for those with intolerances. They also constantly replaced empty plates/trays so there was always freshly prepped food out. They had the usual breakfast items like scrambled eggs, omelettes made to order, sausages etc, and they also have eggs benedict's made to order, followed by a carvery station featuring med rare striploin roast, seafood like jumbo shrimp and Atlantic smoked salmon, then the charcuterie board with lots of pickled items, cured meats and cheeses. The highlight dishes for me were definitely the plump jumbo shrimp and the tender smoked salmon- the salmon tasted like it was made in house, it was far better than any store bought one I've ever had! For hot foods they had corn chowder which was delicious and creamy, variety of vegetable dishes, fish and more. Their desserts selection was smaller but still a good variety. I loved their mini tres leches pots. The price was $45/pp which is on the higher side for a lunch/brunch buffet but the quality and variety of food was excellent so it was worth it for us! I can't wait to go back for another celebratory meal!

Jo Munro

Im gluten free and lactose free and was impressed with how well the staff new the menu and what was safe to eat and also made sure their team was extra careful when preparing my order. Tasted great as well. Thanks so much

Farouk Hamood

On Valentine's Day, the staff at the restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate our party of six, seating us comfortably in their spacious dining room. The culinary experience was delightful, with each dish being a testament to the kitchen's skill. Notably, they impressively catered to the dietary needs of our vegetarian and gluten-free companion by preparing a special off-menu item. The staff's helpfulness and the restaurant's charming atmosphere combined to create a memorable dining experience.

Alan Flanders

I always get 5 star service here. Food is fantastic and they have all the options for gluten free.

Vignesh Markandu

Very good quality food and variety of selections. Staff are very welcoming and courteous. Dishes change daily. Gluten free options are also available. The temple next door is also serene.

Ine

Nice price - quality ratio. If you are hungry and want to have a quick bite. Food was the right temperature and they have gluten-free options.

Kenton Smith

Good pizza on a thin crust. Service is pretty fast. Gluten free pizza crusts available.

This place is a hidden gem. I heard great things about it, especially their noodles' great texture and authentic flavors. The rice noodle dish is made from rice, originally from southern China. I wanted to eat noodles but I am trying to be gluten-free, so I decided to try the rice noodles. I have to agree with the reviews— the flavor is very authentic, just like what you’d find in China. It’s spot on! Be sure to ask for the lowest level of spiciness, as that matches the spice level you’d find at regular Chinese fusion places. The owner is super nice and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!

Ami Martin

The absolute BEST gluten free Chinese food I've ever had. Ginger Beef, Sesame Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice, and Beef and Broccoli - all outstanding and can be made gluten free!!

Mark Baca

Nayana Nayana

Lots of vegan, vegetarian gluten free dishes . Recommends Vegetarian salad rolls with tofu, green curry vegetables and tofu, Vegetable and tofu with cashew nuts, and Pad Thai Tofu. It is so good!! Next time we’ll dine in

Lynette Seidel

Fantastic and they even had gluten-free cheese bread!

Caitlynd McRoberts-Barry

Great place with nice staff and a lot of gluten-free options!

Michelle Darke

Was really excited for this place for our pre wedding celebrations with family. The ambiance is really lovely. However it was impossible to get a drink, and I was promised a gluten free bun and vegan cheese and they didn’t have either. So paid $22 for a burger with lettuce and bacon and a few greens. It took over 30 minutes to get the bill when we told the waitresses we were in a rush and asked for it three times.
