I have Celiac and this place has an incredible number of options for gluten free. And so so delicious. Service was friendly and welcoming. My kids loved it as well

Best Gluten Free Pizza in Canada! I've been to nearly every province in Canada and this was by far the most unique pizza, good size for GF, bbq sauce base, chicken with hot honey sauce! Great atmosphere, friendly service.

Jonathan Paul

Mitch was our server and he was amazing! Great recommendations and just an all around nice guy. Food here is amazing. If you’re gluten free they have one of the best gluten free crusts around. Def come here. Prices are more than fair.

Lovely quient Cafe with a nice patio. A perfect stop on your way up or down from a hike. Had a delicious gluten-free brownie and an ice tea here.

Gluten free available 😁

I have celiac disease and asked about gluten free options on the menu. I was told I could have a gluten-free bun with my burger. I asked if the soup of the day was gluten-free, the wait staff went to check and told me that it was. I ordered the soup and a gluten-free burger. When the food arrived, there was a bun alongside my soup. I asked if the bun was gluten-free. The waiter went to the kitchen to check and came back and told me it was not. They took the bun away. I was not offered a gluten-free bun. A few minutes later, I was several bites into my burger when the waiter returned to tell me there had been a mistake, and the burger bun was not gluten-free. They took the burger away. I was not offered a replacement burger. The manager came to our table to apologize for the error. I explained that this would make me very ill, within about an hour. A few moments later she returned with the chef, who also apologized. They told me took my information and told me they would go over what happened with their staff to make sure it didn’t happen again. They took my phone number and said they would call me to check on me the following day, and the day after that. They never called. This is serious. Eating gluten not only makes people with celiac disease very sick, it also causes permanent intestinal damage.

I had a great gluten free sandwich here! The gf bread is made off-site and they have a separate toaster and mayo for the sandwiches. Obviously they bake regular bread here so the risk for a Celiac isn’t zero but I enjoyed my sandwich very much and the man at the counter was so helpful and patient with my questions!

As a celiac, I get excited about deep-fried things that I can have. The gluten-free Salt-n-vinegar fish n chips were outstanding! I 100% recommend. And the Fries were cooked to perfection. I was very happy with this meal. (I can't recall, so I'm not sure if they have a dedicated fryer. I tend to have mild to unnoticeable reactions to shared fryers though. Or maybe I'm just stubborn.) I also wanted to try the iceberg cider that they brew there, but unfortunately they were all out. (I eventually found one can at a liquor store, and it was good.) They were fairly busy, so the service was alright, but that's to be expected.

My partner and I ate here once during our stay. I am celiac and need gluten free options which they had on the menu!!! Great experience and so lucky to find GF options even in a small town. We will be back!

Michael O

Service was a little slow but they were pretty busy with other families and had to deal with our gluten and peanut allergies.

Lorie Mullen

This place is delightful! Highly recommend it!! Super clean, food was amazing and there were gluten free optio s for my daughter, the server was so pleasant and attentive and I love how the building is a mix of original structure and new. The gallery and gift shop on the 2nd floor was an added pleasure.

Brittany Cunningham

I go here everytime I'm in town, which is a couple times a month for work, and I've never had a bad drink here. There's a huge variety of drinks hot and cold and they always have interesting seasonal drinks as well. I always get a sandwich with a gluten free bun when I'm here, my favourites are the pesto chicken and the cran-apple chicken sandwiches, the gluten free bun is very good, and doesn't fall apart like other gf breads tend to.

Sarah Marie

So many amazing gluten free options!!

The Irish Loop Coffee House has a surprisingly large food menu with reasonably priced and tasty items. We went there for coffee and tea, but I also had an order of home fries. The fries were really great! There are options for those who are gluten free and vegetarian. I didn't see any vegan only dishes, but I think they'd be able to accommodate people looking for a plant-based dish. The service was quick and friendly, which is always appreciated. The atmosphere and decor is retro diner themed, which was a cool surprise. I definitely recommend The Irish Loop Coffee House when driving route 10 through the area.

Evelyne Allard

I haven’t had that good of a ramen in a while! The veggies were fresh, the miso broth (which they make themselves!) super tasty, the portion was generous... AND they have gluten-free noodles folks!!! 🤩 Don’t know about you, but I’ll definitely visit this place again!

Deb Hutchinson

Liked that gluten-free choices were available and clearly marked on menu. Waiter was friendly and very professional. Nice view.

Katie Mark

Full gluten free menu, very knowledgeable

Maggie Flinn

My partner and I went twice on our stay. I am Celiac and need Gluten free foods and the staff were very knowledgeable and lots of options for me including gluten free bread which I believe was homemade. Delicious! Will be back if in the area.

Michael O

Pizza is awesome! The kids' kitty cat and dog shaped pizza is fun. The personal size pizza is plentiful and the gluten free garlic sticks are amazing.

Cathy Warren

If you have a gluten sensitivity, intolerance or allergy this is not a place to eat at. On Sept 27 2024 I went there with my sister for lunch. I advised the waitress Lori, that I have a gluten allergy. I ordered a gluten free Caesar salad and fries which were cooked in a dedicated fryer for just fry’s. When our order came out she brought the fries and advised the chef put croutons on the salad in error and is in the process of doing a new one. About five minutes later the salad came out. I was eating away at the salad and when I was about have way through I found 3 croutons. I thought I was going to get sick in my seat when I found them. I can’t believe the chef did not make a new salad he just tried to pick out the croutons and sent it out for me to eat knowing full well it would make me sick as a dog for days. Our waitress was shocked when we showed her the croutons on the plate with my salad. She had no idea the chef did that. If you have a gluten sensitivity/ allergy ect this is not a place you should ever eat at. Obviously the chef has no understanding of gluten and how it works on someone with a gluten allergy. I was so upset and sick for days….

Griffin Sheldon

Excellent food and a very generous wait staff. Was greeted immediately upon entering and seated. Menu has lots to choose from, and the meals themselves are generous in portion sizes while not breaking the bank. Meals tasted very fresh. The combo specials are especially bang for your buck. Pros: very yummy food, average waittimes, and very friendly staff for a good cost. Cons: restaurant was a little cold at times, minimal parking, and I wish the menu showed what items were gluten free. I will mention that the staff were especially good at offering GF food, they even subbed my partners eggroll for fried tofu and gave more lemon chicken as a substitute for chicken balls, all at no additional cost. Will definitely be coming back!

Christine

A local gem! Fresh food, delicious! Added bonus, usually gluten free options available. Excellent coffee and treats. Our favourite lunchtime spot.

B Hall

We are both vegan, and my partner is allergic to gluten, so were quite happy to find this place while travelling Newfoundland. The food was very good and we will seek it out next time we are in Gander.

Malcolm Hugh Pilgrim

Very clean and friendly staff 😁 I love the gluten free vegetables 🥑🍅🥬🌶

Quinton Pryce

My wife & I stayed in the area for a few days on our honeymoon & this was absolutely the highlight. Their gluten-free fish cakes were a highlight for me (best I ever had) & the toutons were my wife's. Cheers to Dawn, Kim & Kim for making such a warm environment & having a great chat with us.

Cassandra

Celiac-friendly with quite a few options! Eaten here several times and always enjoy it.

Jeanette Wheeler

Great food, friendly staff, tons of gluten-free options!

Michael O

Friendly and helpful. The fish and chips is gluten free and nut free. And the cod was very fresh. The fries are awesome. They have ice cream, soft and hard. Chocolates that are peanut and, Gluten free. After visiting Tablelands, this restaurant was a treat, they have a patio and the restaurant is on the water.

Gina Parsons

Went to this place on Saturday for some later eats. Extremely impressed with the entertainment, service, and food. I did not eat a lot, I do like that they have a lot of gluten free options. The atmosphere here is fun and inviting. Definitely recommend for late eats and entertainment.

Raindog Matt

Foods great and have excellent gluten free options!

Melanie Kavanagh

Love Fionn's. Gluten free items as well.

Chip Burrus

We had an excellent meal at Pi. The service by Hanya was great. The gluten free crust was unique and clearly made from scratch. It was quite good. Unique pizzas in a place with a great vibe.

The staff are always friendly, the food is always tasty. I have a gluten intolerance and the staff always ensure my food is safe.

Liam Flanagan

I love NJ's. The perfect little buffet for all your Indian needs. Vegan, gluten-free, delicious

Ciraeon

There's a gluten free version of most everything on the menu. Penne as a gf pasta, all of their sauces are gf, and most of their toppings. It's very good to not feel limited for choices.

Arthur King

The Lettuce wrapped Cheddar Bacon Uncle Burger is my absolute favorite since I swore off of Gluten! No bun=No Problems!!!!

Kim Hancock

Friendly staff, wide range of food choices on menu. Would be nice to have more gluten free options, but there are some!

Vanessa House

Sweet little cafe on a beautiful Oceanside drive. Lots of seating and an outdoor table option on a fine day. The menu has a good selection of appetizers, salads, burgers & wraps. The server said that a lot of the menu can be made gluten-free. We had the squid rings and they were some of the best I have tried around NL - the batter is light with a salty flavouring. The Spinach dip was meal size & the French fries delicious. The fried chicken had a different kind of coating, reminded me of shake and bake crumbs from years ago. Tasty just not a crunchy batter. Really good portion sizes. The bountiful cheesecake selection will bring me back in an instant. Oh, and don’t leave without a Homemade Flakey for later. A great spot that really is worth the drive.

Elana O

Gluten free pizza was among the best I've ever had!

Rhea Deshpande

This was such a memorable spot for us. The atmosphere was unlike any other. It was so charming inside especially at dinner time sunset on the water. There was live music from 6-8, really lovely. Enjoyed a good, hearty meal - great veggie and gluten free menu too! Favourites were the veggie lasagna, salmon dinner, and steamed pudding (to die for!). Our server Ashley was so awesome and lovely, remembered us from the night before. The waitresses really keep this place afloat, they manage a busy, bustling environment with grace and ease. Will be back next visit!

Chris Harding

Good food, they have gluten free options for those who are interested.

Diane Davis

Excellent music by Ron Kelly, great menu options and service on a Friday night in May. Consistent friendly welcome from Chico when he only sees us from out of town a few times a year. Food was delicious. Scallops, spinach salad and fish and chips with sweet potato fries. 3 salad options, lots of fish and shellfish and gluten free options on dinner menu.

Melissa MacLean

Great service and prices. Huge gluten free selection offered and were extremely careful in every step to make sure my food was safe from the others. Even bagged my to-go bag first so that we wouldn't mix them up at the table. Will go back for sure

SheenaCity

My friend called and asked if they could accommodate dairy free along with the gluten free menu and they said they could- when we got there- they could not. Womp womp

Lorraine Dimmer

Excellent service. Fast. The gentleman served a gluten free meal along with a regular meal and asked the appropriate questions in concern to cross containing.

Grace Bishop

I haven't even ate the food yet but I just wanted to leave a comment about the customer service. I have celiac disease so I called to ask about their gluten free options. I spoke to Nicki who I have to say was more than helpful. She told me they have a fryer that is designated for gluten sensitivity and talked me through some of their options. She was super friendly and understanding and gave me her name so when I called back to place my order I could talk to her. When I got off the phone I honestly felt like I had just finished talking to a friend. I have never had such exceptional service, especially when it comes to ordering gluten free. Probably the best service I've had ever. Thank you Nicki for your help and understanding, it was greatly appreciated and you definitely deserve a raise for incredible service!!

Dustin N

Wow! The first restaurant we visited after flying in and it was worth it! The friendliest service and the food was spectacular! Edith, our server, was busy since the place was almost at capacity. Thank you! They also know how to handle food allergies like soy, dairy and gluten, with ease.
