Top 50 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Peterborough

Jennifer Heard

The food is consistently good. I have been here a couple times when we visit the area. A bit on the salty side and lacking in veg options. Most things are gluten-free which is important for myself due to celiac disease. We find it on the pricey side in comparison to other Mexican or Latin eateries. Service is always fantastic, and they have a nice patio.

I ordered the gluten free fish and chips. Only place around that has gluten free battered fish. Very good meal.

I went here today with my son for the first time. The atmosphere was so good. The food was much better then I expected it to be. Service was quick and good. They had kids chopsticks and lots of gluten-free options.

Absolutely incredible. Have been at least 20 times in 2 years. Always fresh and incredibly tasty. My wife is celiac and allergic to wheat and it’s safe here

Mikey De melo

Great gluten free pizza

Alex Schneider

While they have nice seating, good gluten free options, and friendly staff, it is too expensive for what you get, small portions, with clearly frozen fries.

This is the best bakery I have ever been to. The staff working are always OUTSTANDING. So friendly and provide amazing service, making you feel welcome and really make you want to go back. Prices are so reasonable. I’m often surprised at how affordable my bill is, especially with how good the quality of the food and how amazing the service. I have celiac and can only eat gluten free, and black honey bakery ALWAYS has a selection of items safe for me to eat. I often go to other places who quickly run out of their gluten free options so I always end up back at black honey. Any gluten free item that I’ve tried has always been very moist and a nice texture (something that is hard to come across). 15/10 would come here every single day. To the owner: I hope you never change a thing about this place, it’s truly amazing!

Christina Knight

Not a lot of gluten free options (I went with a salad) but they had Glutenburg!

Nicolas

Good food and good service 👍 Vegan and gluten free options available as well

Daniel Run

Highly recommend avoiding this place. They gave me food poisoning. I was supposed to get a call back from a manager but that never happened. I also have celiac and told the waitress but they still brought my food out with a side containing gluten.

I can't believe I haven't posted a review yet for our favourite breakfast spot! Copper Spoons is everything you would want in a breakfast restaurant. It's cozy, but full of regulars and fun banter, the service is fantastic and the food is amazing and so affordable. The owner is always there and always remembers our order, even though we don't get the opportunity to go that often. I recently made the switch to gluten free/dairy free and was thrilled that CS could not only accommodate my diet, but serve the best GF bread I've ever had. There is a reason there is always a lineup out to the street. I guarantee it's worth the wait!

Lots of gluten free options, good food, waterfront with friendly service

Full disclosure: we had originally attempted to get a reservation at the Keg but they were booked. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as Berc’s was far and away the superior experience. Waitstaff was very friendly and helpful, the ambiance is classic fine dining aesthetic and the meal value is very high for the price. As a celiac I was pleasantly surprised by the addition of crackers in place of bread prior to the main course; my typical experience is watching my wife eat bread by herself so this was a nice touch. We had our 7 year old with us and were grateful for catering to his taste with some plain butter pasta that he raved about. All adults agreed that our meals were excellent too and overall the consensus was Berc’s provided a 5 star experience. Thank you to the staff and owners for a memorable 40th birthday dinner.

Great food. Gluten free options

Andrea Derrick

I sent my husband to pick up some delicious treats for me because I’m obsessed with the peanut butter pie and the caramel pecan pie. He was met with gratitude and amazing customer service they threw in some extra things for us to try. We also purchased some of the low-carb pasta as our daughter is a type one diabetic and also has celiac. This place is amazing and drive for us. My only complaint is that I didn’t order enough.

Alexa Isaacs

Really great 100% vegan restaurant in a cute spot with great service. The jackfruit bowl was perfect. Everything I saw come out looked amazing. Gluten free/gluten free option items clearly marked on the menu. This place is a must try!

Olivia Pickett

Great service and gluten free options. Feels fresh and looks fresh. Could use some new upholstery though.

Heather L

The owner is really great and they make great coffee. Love the snacks. They also have a slew of gluten free and vegan options, which many of my friends appreciate. Thanks for having us!

This is the best boardgame cafe I've ever been to! I've wanted to go to boardwalk since they opened but I'm not from the area so I haven't been able to make it before now. It was so worth the wait! They have a great variety of games in their library. They organize them with colored stickers so you can find a game that will fit your group size, difficulty, and age group needs. It's perfect for people who may want to try an expensive game before spending the money on it. The employees are super knowledgeable about the games and can give tips and recommendations if you need any help. The cafe is well lit so it's the perfect place to play. There was a boardgame pub in my old town that had low lightning to give it more of a nightlife vibe, but you couldn't see the games very well; so this was a pleasant surprise. The menu variety is phenomenal. They have vegan and gluten free options. The thing that stuck out the most to me was that you can substitute gluten free bread for your sandwich for NO EXTRA COST! I've never seen a menu that treats people with dietary restrictions like humans. Also, the cookies are made to order and they definitely live up to the hype! I will absolutely be back and I can't wait to try more games!

Our server Micheal was fabulous with rushing the kids meals to help keep them settled. he paid attention to specific order changes (celiac) and was prompt with drinks and checking in frequently. 10/10 will visit again because of his charming demeanor

Lyn Vowles

Will not go to any other location. The staff are amazing !! . I am gluten wise and they go above and beyond !! 100 percent this location always.

Simon Martin

Great place to meet up with friends and family for breakfast/brunch. Added bonus is that you have gluten free options too.

Laura Spriggs Gray

Large restaurant specializing in breakfasts and brunch. They were able to accommodate our family group of 10 with no difficulty. The menu is large and offers a wide variety including gluten free and vegan friendly. Our server was great, super friendly and accommodating. The coffee drinks were pronounced delicious and the eggs Benny and French toast were particularly good.

Bryce H

Lots of awesome unconventional toppings for a Mexican restaurant. Gluten free and lactose free options available too!

Nurun Chowdhury

This is a very nice spot for the family or even a group event. There are sooo many different options that there is bound to be something for everyone. There are vegan as well as gluten free options as well. The staff are really friendly and the location is great.

Heather Weber

Had a new experience dining at Fresh Dreams in Peterborough on Saturday night. The atmosphere was a little cold and I found the tables too close together for my liking. The service was excellent, prompt and efficient. The food was delicious and honestly the best scallops i’ve ever had. I was not a fan of how the meal was served though. I like to eat a meal with a veggie and a starch on the same plate with my protein. Instead, at Fresh Dreams, they serve everything separately. Not a fan. I felt it took away from my dining experience. I loved that they offered a gluten free desert. 😊 Overall, a great experience but I probably won’t be back.

Jay McAuley

Great pizza, love the BBQ chicken! Had a gluten, vegan cheese bbq chicken as well. Very friendly staff, helped us pick a combo to add wings and a drink. Will definitely be back. Update. These guys are amazing and it has become our regular spot. They ran out of goat cheese one night for an order. It wasn’t a big deal but they went out of their way to go find more to make sure our pizza was perfect! Amazing guys! Great service! The BEST pizza!

Elle Chapman

Before I get into this review; I am a celiac and have been attending this location monthly for the past year. This place is AMAZING. The menu options are always a hit, I’ve never left feeling unsatisfied. Also- they are always so great with avoiding cross contamination as my gluten allergy is incredibly sensitive to even the slightest contact. The people who work here are always so kind and helpful with menu options for allergies. Definitely my fav place for a great dinner out in PTBO. 10/10 🙌

shayna maracle

Gluten free pizza was one of the best I have ever had! Order time was a bit lengthy.

jenn braithwaite

Asked to make my plate celiac safe, gluten-free free, and it was perfect. Thank you

Went for lunch today. Loved our selections. Delicious, full of flavour, and totally delightful. Lots of gluten free and dairy free selections on the menu which are clearly indicated. Very warm friendly staff who gave us lots of great suggestions. Love this place. We will be back!

Robert McAteer

Delbert Dunlap

Eugene Neff

Great gluten free option.

Marilyn Wakefield

Best gluten free buns around. Really nice atmosphere. Clean facility

Alma Barranco

We went for breakfast at this restaurant while visiting Peterborough. The portions were generous and everything we ordered was good. The service in particular was excellent. The waitress that attended us was very friendly and on the second day we went she remembered us from the previous day and could remember that my husband is celiac so she was able to recommend the gluten free options.

Amanda Owen

I came in today to inquire about the gluten-free subs. The online allergen menu indicates there should be many gluten-free sub options. However, when I asked in person, the staff said none of the meats are gluten-free? Then what is the point in offering a gluten-free bun? Not impressed.

Dale Chilvers

Amazing food and attention to detail. Top notch for the gluten challenged! Beautiful touch on my wife's birthday

Donna Buehler

Paul Ben

As expected from A&W Glad to be able to get a lettuce wrapped burger and gluten free fries & root beer 👍

Sierra Oh

We came here at a very quiet time so it was nice to get the restaurant to ourselves! We went in with not a clue of what we were going to get but Aman was so nice and helped us decide while also giving a great suggestion for my friend who can’t have gluten! The prices are really good, the portions are great! The food was fantastic! I wish I could’ve gotten a bigger size of the iced chai because it was bomb 😂

Amanda Owen

The food here was delicious, the staff were very friendly and were able to accommodate a gluten allergy! The portions were generous. I can't wait to return sometime soon!

Krishna Patel

I ordered gluten free pizza which wasn’t cooked properly. Such a bad place. Find some where else to eat or go to chemong pizza pizza.

Came in after my graduation to celebrate and have some dessert! The two girls at the front, Ankita and Chetna, were so nice and patience with our large group. The lava cake was amazing, and it was gluten free! Got it with ice cream on top.
