Top 50 Gluten-Free Lunch Spots Across 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…).

This place is the best and they are extremely thoughtful. I came for dinner with my kids and they surprised me with a delicious mother's Day dessert and a card. I love eating here because it's 100% gluten free and safe for Celiacs. Please support this small family-owned business whenever you have a chance!

A staple every time I go to Calgary. As a celiac I feel so safe here, staff always take time to make sure I understand what I can/cannot eat. I would say about 80 percent of the menu can be made gluten free including the fried chicken. It’s great to be able to share with friends and not sacrifice taste. Could not recommend more.

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

Jessica Speed

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

Went to this place for brunch for the first time and had 3 amazing things to note. 1) the coconut chai was to die for and I would return just for that drink alone. 2) the vegan eggs Benedict on falafel was so perfectly savoury and delicious, as someone eating vegan and gluten free, I haven’t had something that covers my dietary restrictions taste so good in a long time. 3) the portion sizes!!! The quesadilla my family had was enormous, the side salads were huge! Amazing to have leftovers for later and even though we ate a lot, we didn’t feel gross after (which we often do with other places) because the ingredients were so clean. The staff were so kind and the restaurant gives cute earthy vibes. Hands down will be going back! (Wish we got photos to share!)

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!

Chris Kennedy

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!

Damien Fitzsimmons

The most Amazing Vegan, plant based, gluten-free Pho we have ever had! So delicious and fresh tasting vegetables, even the noodles 🍜 were better than other noodles in other soup shops 😋 We can't wait to return 😃

Ashley A

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!

Sarah R

Delicious food, and excellent for celiacs / gluten free.

Abby Lacasse

My and my Partner dined in for the first time here , we had ordered to go before. Ari served us and was incredibly kind and went above and beyond the moment we walked in the door. The service immediately stood out to me as a focal point of dining in. As well as accommodating gluten allergies, great place for a great dinner.

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.

Superbe restaurant ! La nourriture est incroyable ! Repas sans gluten exceptionnelle. Le carotte cake est le meilleur que j'ai jamais mangé ! Allez y!

George Visan

Normally like dining here but had a negative experience tonight. My partner was gluten poisoned despite being very clear with the server — she was given standard tempura and told they were gluten free. The manager did however offer to comp her bill. That was nice. The nori on my hand rolls was soft and stale, but they're supposed to be crunchy. Didn't have more than one bite and the server said they're always like that... but they're not. To top it off, we waited 20 minutes for our bill and all the "comp'd" items were still on there so we had to request another bill. Then our server ghosted us when it came to take payment and we had to find a server from another section. The tempura was great, but overall the value for food is not great, and this experience kind of ruined the previous positive ones I've had.

⭐️⭐️✨ (2.5 Stars – If I Could) The food here is actually quite good—flavourful, well-prepared, and the portions are decent. They also offer a fair selection of gluten-free options, which is important to me as someone with celiac. That said, the prices are a bit on the higher side for what you get. This was my second visit. The first time, I had a great experience, which is why I decided to bring my friend here for her birthday. Unfortunately, I regret that decision. It was such a letdown because I was genuinely excited to celebrate her special day here. But the lack of service and cleanliness made the experience disappointing. I booked a table well in advance and even selected the birthday option during the reservation. However, it seemed like they didn’t care or even acknowledge it. To make matters worse, we were seated in the worst spot—right next to the staff entrance. You’d think being so close to where the staff frequently pass through would mean better service, but no. We were completely neglected. Other establishments usually go above and beyond to make special occasions memorable, but here, there was zero consideration. Honestly, why even put the option for occasions during booking if nothing changes? Throughout the meal, no one checked on us—not even once. We wanted to order drinks, but after taking our food order, the server never returned to our table. No refills, no follow-up, nothing. She disappeared after dropping off our food and only reappeared when I had to flag her down for the bill. The experience was further let down by the state of the bathrooms—unclean and poorly maintained, which is unacceptable for any dining establishment. While the food is worth coming back for, the service and cleanliness need serious improvement. I hope the management takes these issues seriously.

Great food, quality is perfect. Easy to order and food is quick, some bowls have less flavor some have more, vegatarian and gluten free options

Paul Brinton

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

Ilya Makarov

Great place to go for brunch. Great selection of food and great service. Staff is very knowledgeable about allergy and dietary restrictions thus makes it very reassuring to eat for anyone who has celiac, etc. Highly recommend souffléd pancakes for anyone who is gf to try, AMAZING.

Jennifer Walton

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and fabulous service. We had a pre-set menu with a large group, which was perfect. Unbelievable turkey, brisket, and our gluten-free diners have never had better gravy (they lucked their plates!)We can’t wait to come back again with our team next month!

D Bell

Good tasting food, gluten free options available, gluten free burger buns are quite good, nice traditional Irish Pub.

Maryam Hatam

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!

Orly Bob

Very knowledgeable about gluten free choices. Amazing oysters. Great decor and ambiance

Julia Holden

Lots of gluten free options and the service was great! Our server Ana was amazing!! We will definitely be back again! 😊💕

Makenna Short

Great gluten free options!

Coco C

Great meals and gluten free options!

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!

S C (Shell_gwn)

Went for the weekend brunch several times. Smaller selection but higher quality and more innovative. You can also order customized bennies for vegetarian or gluten free needs. Recommended. Downgraded from 5 star to 4 star - food no longer as good and price is high.

Mike D

This location is arguably the best of the "Blocks". Excellent barbecue as always, huge whiskey selection, great cocktails. What's not to love? Many gluten free options too! All the BBQ meats are GF and many of the sides are as well. The menu isn't marked, but the servers are informed or will check with the kitchen.

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

Ali Rae

KAMA has to be one of the best restaurant's in Calgary. Javen and Noah do such a great job, they deliver amazing vibes and hospitality. The food is another level of freshness and quality, and the menu is actually mostly Gluten Free, with a dedicated Gluten Free fryer and no seed oils being used as well. I don't believe they advertise this much, but this restaurant would be a GF persons dream. I have never been disappointed with visit at KAMA. :)

Wing Chen

Amazing amazing. Saw a Guy Fieri YouTube video about this place and yea, it lives up to his high praises. Had the sate pho and the pork belly saseme donut. The broth was so aromatic and they do not cheap out on ingredients. Yes it is priced higher than other places but IMO it's worth it with the quality of food. You can tell the amount of effort they put into it. Service is great, wife is celiac and they were knowledgeable about it and able to accommodate. It's inside a modern food hall and has a great buzz to it. Looking forward to try the other vendors but that could be hard because I would definitely revisit Pure street food again. Highly highly recommend!

Aly

Super clean and great customer service/staff the Thai teas are the best! The food is always got and delicious. Gluten free ans vegan options. I wish they came in a larger size!! *hint hint* love that the food comes in a paper lotus box. Parking on the street

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.

Nick Ford

Love the gluten free options. They're always friendly.

Jaimie Swain

I came here for a party of 4 birthday dinner and I found it pleasant despite my complete lack of Thai food experience. I’m celiac so that always narrows my choices at any restaurant but I found the server to be knowledgeable. She also confirmed each dish ordered and brought to the table to be GF or not for me, as our table did a bit of sharing. I believe I had the Salmon Paang dish and some steamed rice. The rice with any of the dishes seemed to be a necessary addition, otherwise the dish was more plain (just the sauce and whatever meat or veg combo) and too small of a portion, at least for me. Sharing worked out well portion wise for our table, we were too full to try dessert. The food was really tasteful with good textures and flavours and it’s a smaller restaurant with a nice interior so it wasn’t overly loud at all either. Overall good experience, I’d come back on my own dime probably for a special occasion

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.

Sab Bory

I got The Quickie with a gluten free bun + add tomato. Was around 13$. This sandwich was HUGE.. the eggs were cooked well and fluffy could have used a little salt and maybe some pepper, the bun needed to be toasted more, but was delicious. The sauce was good and the cheese was perfectly melty. Would try some others in the future! Also came with a free chocolate chip cookie (not GF, but I gave it to my coworker)

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 : )

Rhonda Petryk

We had burgers delivered for our whole team today. They took our order easily and it was delivered very quickly. They are all very friendly. The burgers are DELICIOUS!! The gluten free bun was very tasty. The sauce is amazing. We had the non-meat-a-tarian and it was so delicious it was hard to tell that it was not meat. Next time we will taste the meat burgers. Our whole team loved these burgers!! There will definitely be another time!!

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 (:
