Top 46 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Oshawa

Brian Malone

I came to eat the Gluten Free Fish and Chips on Good Friday 2025!! It's very hard to find GF for F&C and I appreciate Schooner's offering them. Quality and food are great despite being very pricey. Our order was messed up and they forget to give us an item. I called and spoke with Tiffany the manager who offered to either reimburse us or give us the item with a free side (we choose the later). If you have trued Schooner's I'd defiantly recommend it.

A Culinary Haven in Oshawa - A Personal Favorite! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The White Apron Restaurant holds a special place in my heart, & it has consistently been a favourite of mine every time I revisit Oshawa. Introduced by a friend in 2019, this culinary haven has never failed to impress. One of the standout features for me is their dedication to accommodating dietary preferences. The fact that they offer gluten-free toast & French toast is a game-changer, especially for someone like me who is celiacs. It's a rare find & adds an extra layer of love for this spot. The food itself is nothing short of delicious, & the portion sizes are generous. Many of the meals are so hearty that they can easily be shared, making it a perfect spot for a communal dining experience. The staff at The White Apron are the true gems. Their super-friendly, helpful, & kind demeanour adds to the overall welcoming atmosphere. It's evident that they are passionate about what they do, & their dedication to ensuring a positive dining experience is truly commendable. Now, let's address the only minor hiccup—the parking situation. Being located downtown, parking can be a bit tricky, but it's by no means unmanageable. The inconvenience is a small price to pay for the culinary delights that await inside. In conclusion, The White Apron Restaurant is a true gem in Oshawa, & my personal favourite. The dedication to accommodating various dietary needs, coupled with delicious food & exceptional staff, makes it a must-visit. The parking challenge is a minor detail compared to the overall joy this restaurant brings. Highly recommended!

I’ve been to Baxters multiple times and they always have amazing food and service. I have celiac and they have many GF options. The servers always help with questions regarding their food. Today we had David as our server and he was fantastic.

Such an amazing pizza place, with great gluten free and halal options! Dazy was such a sweet chef, thank you! Can't wait to come back

Rachel Ann

Their gluten free options are incredibly good - non-GF is too. Just delicious food, absolutely worth the price, and the staff are always so lovely and accommodating.

Joanne Krawetz

Great breakfast place with yummy gluten-free options! Definitely try the cinnamon roll pancakes! Our server George was great! We'll be back.

My husband and I attended Wildfire after a date day in the City before returning home and I must say it was a most excellent decision. The ambiance of the restaurant was relaxed and romantic not loud or busy though the restaurant was packed for a Saturday night. We shared the spinach dip which was flavourful and creamy. Husband had the 16oz with veggies and mash which was cooked to perfection and not a speck leftover. I enjoyed the Tuna to step outside my usual steak and added the shrimp - all was perfect. Many gluten free options and perfect pairings of wine or dessert spirits available. This was the best restaurant in a very long time and we will be sure to attend again Todd our server was quick, polite and efficient without being pushy, intrusive or seeming like it was just a job. Thank you for the lovely night and thank you chefs !

Kassidy Duncan

Had a really amazing lunch here! Staff were super friendly, accommodating for our baby and my husband's celiac disease. There are a lot of gluten free options, and all the food was so delicious. We will be back soon!

Meagan

Definitely one of Oshawa’s best breakfast joints! Large selection, generous portions, fresh food, and great service. They also have a solid vegetarian selection, and are consistently awesome when catering to my mom’s gluten free and dairy free dietary needs.

Alex Hercules

Brendan was our server and he was amazing! He knew everything about the menu and was able to answer all my questions, he is very knowledgeable and personable! I felt like I had known him for years! He was able to recommend something for my gluten-free friend and she loved it. Most definitely will be back , especially if Brendan is still there :)

Gavin Lobo

Delicious food options, gluten free options and orange that is freshly squeezed and frothed - a rather unique take on OJ - love our breakfast/brunch experience at the restaurant.

Kenady Walker

My boyfriend and I came in for dinner tonight and our server Emmy was very kind and personable. She treated my gluten allergy and modifications with care. Food was delicious!

Party of 6 for dinner. We all had various types of curry including the fried basa, Goan shrimp, Shrimp tika masala, Lamb, Onion bhujjia (onion rings), pulao rice and naan. Food was delicious. Love that you can set the spiciness of most food. All the curries were gluten free as well. Good sized portions. Masala chai had a nice bite. Mango lassi was very thick! The service was quick and couteous. Will definitely go back!

Jessica Mokedanz

Food was awesome, 10/10 will go back. Celiac friend was with me needed to get something gluten free, waitress was super helpful and kind.

Peter Frederick

My wife and I eat at the Keg quite often as she can eat gluten-free with very little concern. In most cases at the Keg any Keg, the manager will come to let us know that the kitchen is aware and they will take care of her with caution. The server didn't ask if we were celebrating anything. 38th wedding anniversary. This Keg is not up to standards of the Keg. In Durham, Ajax Keg is the spot. Oh, and beets as a vegetable what a joke.

Wayne Millson

Went in for lunch with my family,Melissa was our server, she was very helpful with my gluten allergy. Food was very good. Overall nice dining experience

James Binns

Been coming here for years. A must stop and staple in the city of Oshawa. Recently discovered their gluten free menu. The free birthday pie that couldn’t be finished

Katarina Kraft

The food came out exactly as I wanted, and they were very good respecting the fact I have celiac disease. Crystal also gave amazing service and was so kind!

Kathleen Brand

I have not had Pho in many years. The staff were very friendly and accommodating to my needs being gluten sensitive!! 10/10 would recommend. The food is delicious!

Pete D.

Tons of gluten free options! While slightly on the pricey side, it holds up with quality, taste and lovely staff and atmosphere.

Katarina Kraft

Everyone there is so nice, and the gluten-free selection is awesome!

Carole Blackburn

Dear Pizza Munno, let me count the ways of how much I love you. Today especially! I was so hungry and the angel Michael answered. They delivered the most delicious gluten-free pizza. Did I break the budget on this pizza? Yes I did. Worth every scrumptious bite.

Kyle Chapman

My team scheduled lunch here because their site and menu suggested that they could accommodate for dietary restrictions. I let the server know I had celiac disease and couldn’t have wheat and ordered the only non-salad gluten-free entree they had, a rice pasta alfredo. My entree came with wheat bread on it. When I brought it to the server’s attention, she said she’d replace it… but brought the same dish with the bread removed. Eventually, it was properly replaced - I think! - but this resulted in eating ~20 minutes after my colleagues who all said they thought the meal should be comp’ed. It wasn’t; in fact, I was charged extra! The standard fettuccine dish is 17.49, same as the rice pasta one, and added chicken makes it 23.99. I was charged a full $7 for added chicken. My bill also denoted a standard fettuccine meal rather than a gluten-free one, which is now having me concerned that my inattentive server may have triggered my celiac symptoms (time will tell!). The food was only okay; the first plate of pasta had Parmesan while the second didn’t, and I was offered zero drink refills.

Josie Ducusin

My review is a few months late, but I really can't say enough good things about the ladies in the front. Came with a friend who wanted Mr Burger when I just had new autoimmune issues that popped up... I thought I would be better not eating, but they told me they would make me something that would sit right with me. They offered me gluten free bun, chicken burger instead of beef, even offered to clean the grill for me before cooking the chicken & took the time to tell me what was in the sauce they put over the chicken to make sure it was safe for me. I really didnt want to be a bother but they assured me it was not a problem & they were so kind about it. That burger was freakin' delicious!

Kelly Sgroi

Wonderful restaurant! Amazing service, our server Chelsea took great care of us. The food is wonderful , they now have gluten free options on their menu. I highly recommend East sides, it is our go to restaurant and we have never left disappointed

Amy F

Love that there's gluten free vegan options! It's always fresh and the staff are really nice! Marvin was very kind, helpful and funny! My family and I come here all the time!

Jesse Englert

By far my favourite shawarma restaurant in Durham region; I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great tasting meal with good sized portions at a reasonable price. I used to work on the Danforth for years and it is better than any shawarma place that I remember from down there. Friendly staff and many gluten and other allergy-friendly options; I am in there about three or four times a week lately. 100% recommend.

Katsung Mak

Really good fries. Crispy and fluffy. Nice to know they have a fries only fryer for people with allergies or celiac.

Jack Hamilton

This is the best barburrito that i've been to, consistently delivering top quality meals. Their gluten free options are actually good, too!

Deborah Schmelzer

What a fun restaurant. Our server Abby was delightful. Great suggestions and very attentive. The gluten free menu is extensive and we found exactly what we wanted. Pad Thai. Super portions.

Debbie Ellis

Such kind, caring and generous people work here! And the food is always delicious! Lots of vegan and gluten-free options. Thank you for the falafel!

Daniel Wilkinson

Great place to have a party. Loads to do for adult and kid alike. And get this GLUTEN FREE options at the restaurant!!! Awesome 👍👍👍

Ruth Stringer

Hands down absolutely the best soup I have eaten I am celiac and it's hard to find tasty food the took out the noodles and added extra bean sprouts 🥰🥰🥰🥰 if I could give 1000 stars I would!!!!! Will definitely be a regular choice by me

Don Stewart

Great food and service, owners niece spoke with us very nice lady I recommend this place cowboy hash was amazing and Monte Cristo gluten free for my wife.

Monika Clark

Love them they have gluten free options the pizza is little and feels as thin as a soft taco but at least I can eat something

Keri (Keris.Kitchen)

Been here a couple times as they're right around the corner from my house. The OMG / gardilly sauce is amazing and I can never have enough. I always get a little extra on the side. Today I tried the Feast Poutine which is basically Thanksgiving as a poutine. It was definitely flavorful; my only complaint was I could have had more curds. The gravy is vegan and the fries are gluten free for anyone wanting to try them. This is a CASH only establishment, for anyone who hasn't been here previously.

Guy Pylypiw

Great gluten dree pizza

David Delgado

Just another Pizza Pizza 🍕 store. Nothing extravagant, but they get the job done. Gets busy on Friday nights. Evenings in general can mean longer wait times, but it's hot and miss. Haven't had a bad experience with any staff members. No complaints about the food either 👍🏾 UPDATED REVIEW: For the longest time, I switched over and had to order more expensive pizza from Pizza Nova since they were the only ones with a dairy free cheese available. Now Pizza Pizza also has it. Plus, they have a new Cauliflower based gluten free crust that is SOOOO much better the regular gluten free crust! Plus, these options are available at no extra charge!!!

Sherry Tompkins

The food was delicious!! Plus they can accommodate those that are gluten free!! Only issue for us was it was way too cold, the manager was very good to turn it up for us.

Suzanne Legault

Like this place. They have gluten free options which I need. Service & quality of food is good.

Johnson K

Needed a place for gluten free pizza. Got one and a regular pizza. Both pizzas were great. Done within 10 minutes. Requested that utensils to cut gluten free pizza avoid contamination with other regular pizza and it was not an issue. Manager dealt with my order from payment to pickup. Thank you.

Joanne Krawetz

Gotta love Swiss Chalet. The food was served quickly and came out hot. Clean location, and I love the gluten friendly options!

Katherine McClimond

Good food and service. Prices as usual are a bit high, but it's seafoo soo.. Wish they had more gluten free options. Like batter to fry in, and the biscuits. I have made my own red lobster biscuits brand (boxed mix) at Hume. They turn out great. They could just charge an extra $6 or something per batch. Would really up the anty ... Server went above and beyond. I loved the drink, she told me how to make it. I'll definitely go back. Especially if they get those biscuits in gluten free.

Penny Johansen

Always a delicious burger! Gluten-free options are also delicious.

Honey Turner

I've been a few times now. Our normal dinner for 2 is to split the Pizza and add a meat stick for each of us. This is delicious dinner for 2 under $20 and rolling out the door full. I've also been for take-out and chose this location because meat sticks plus fantastic salads make a great choice for my low carb friend. And recently I planned a family birthday dinner here, including a baby and a gluten free diner. Everything was delicious, allergies were accommodated and a high chair was available. The only thing we could have improved was speed of service, but the birthday boy believes that having to wait is a good sign of fresh food and a full lobby means it's worth the wait. I can agree with both those statements. Well done.
