Night service and a great variety of delicious gluten-free things!

Kim Bamburak

First time at the fish store and tried the gluten free halibut. Staff were very knowledgeable and asked if this was Celiacs. Lots of choices on menu and fish and fries turned out very tasty!

No MSG No Garlic Foodie

We decided to visit Victoria after finding several restaurants offering vegan food. Since Be Love is dedicated vegan and also gluten free, it was my first choice. However, there wasn't that many items on the menu to my taste, but since they promise seasonal items, I had hoped that there would be some pleasant surprises. The rest of my party decided to order organic red and white wines by the glass. I chose Earthblood Tonic juice made with carrot, beet, celery, kale and ginger. It was very refreshing and looked stunning. The Mac Bowl appealed to me because it claimed to have braising greens, seasonal vegetable, and broccoli. I was warned that the sauce contains garlic, but I took a chance hoping that it would be black garlic rather than fresh garlic. Fortunately, the garlic was hardly noticeable and I was not affected. It was a very rich dish and I loved the creamy taste of the sauce. The roasted hazel nuts were strange and tasted as though the vegetables still had soil/sand/grit. I was disappointed with the scant amount of greens and vegetables, and if I had known, I might have asked for extra vegetables. And of course, I could not finish it the macaroni. If it wasn't for the 'gritty texture' I would have rated this four stars. My friends ordered the daily special gluten free ravioli with nettle. They all loved it. We also shared a platter with flatbread, cashew cream cheese, apple & beet chutney. I was only able to have one item because the rest were heavy with garlic.

Completely separate prep area, fryer, etc. Celiac safe :) So many choices for GF dishes, and great!

Awesome spot, delicious food… always great service! As someone with celiac disease too, it’s a treat to find a gluten free location as well.

Deanna Mcmullen

Such a gem for gluten free foodies 😀.2 of us dined on wings, calamari, mozzarella sticks, fried sourdough & onion rings, everything was delicious and the pride shows in the food. Will b back again & again whenever we r in Victoria.

Wyatt Miller-Unser

Barts is great, affordable food, good selection of drinks, lots of menu items are Gluten free or can be made gluten free.

Brittany Rene

This place is unreal! One of the best breakfasts of my life. Begging for y’all to open a location in LA. Objectively delicious breakfast. Plus perfect for my gluten and dairy free needs. I’m still thinking about that hollandaise. Kind staff. Good vibes. Went back the next day it was so good. If I lived in Victoria I would eat here once a week at least. Wish I could give more stars. NEVER CLOSE I BEG.

Ariel

I went on a personal Fish n Chips tour at every place in Victoria. This was BY FAR the best one. The staff really made sure we had a welcome experience too (I was brining an out of towner...). I always 75,000/100 recommend people to go here. Great place to bring my 'Celiac' Sister too!

Hilary Djeric

Fantastic place to have brunch! Being Celiac, there are often challenges with the menus, but here at Johns Place they accommodate for this. I had “Catch 22” which was half eggs benny (GF hollandaise) on a GF bun, and GF waffle. It was excelllent and so was the coffee!! Thank you so much for providing these options!!

Monika Gerow

Staff at Cook st. Village location are just so kind and truly make the visit! Gluten free burgers serve. So good. Love this little spot!

Alice Trombley

Thank you for making pizza that I can actually eat that tastes amazing. Finding a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza that doesn’t taste like chemicals and sadness is a true feat. ❤️

Kathleen Oneill

Made me a gluten free pizza in under 10 minutes because we needed to catch the ferry! Delicious and speedy

Alexander Andersen

Excellent food, even on the gluten-free side, and thank you, Amanda, for the excellent service

Gail Bailey

Absolutely delicious and so many gluten free choices!!

maree fudge

SO good! And gluten feee 🩵

Alyena

Delicious!! And so nice to have celiac safe pizza options (it’s so rare to find this) Thank you willows💜

Suze

I really like their poutine. Delicious & gluten free, The portion size for the price is a little small. $10 The gravy is really good. Depending on the burger that you get, taste pretty good, burger patty is decent size. I think it's strange that you order a burger without getting the fries included in the price. If you're ordering a $14 burger you have to pay extra for fries. (As far as aware they don't do combos, could be wrong though) Atmosphere is a little lacking. It's very store-house warehouse feels, poor layout. When you go in the door to order, and a person has to turn around and zigzag through people to get out the door that can be very poor concept. Space constraints. Even staff look cramped. Has a nice condiment stand. Great bathrooms, clean.

My Gypsy Tale

Had dinner with My best friend and my mother last night. Shalena’s service was exceptional. My mum has food issues that can be a challenge. Shalena could not have been more accommodating. Mum often avoids going for dinner due to her FOD diet Mum was so happy to be so well taken care. Thank you for the exceptional service. They have a special deep fryers to accommodate people who are celiac and willing to adjust a dish to suit my mums food challenges. Cheers

Anthony Carr

Green Cuisine is a Victoria gem. My friends and I regularly order take away and sometimes eat in. The food is always hearty, tasty and great value for money. If we ever have visitors, I tell them to check out Green Cuisine. No one has ever told me they weren't impressed with the food on offer, the prices or the wonderful desserts. As a person with Gluten sensitivities, this place gives me so many options. LOVE IT! Can't recommend this place enough. Long may it continue to provide Victoria with affordable, yummy, no nonsense food.

Emily R

Great celiac safe barbecue place! Everything is GF except waffles and regular buns, but they take precautions to keep celiac customers safe (changing gloves, etc). They have fantastic fried chicken which is GF, fried only with fries (also GF), and the regular bbq things. Great sandwiches, poutine, and fried chicken!

Sarah Nicholson

As a celiac, this place was easy to share plates (something we don't often get to do with our friends and family). Loved all the GF options on the menu and the variety. Food was so delicious.

Page DeWolfe

One of the most accommodating menus/kitchens in town with menu options for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free, and a careful kitchen staff to manage most allergies and dietary needs.

Charlie Price

Great Brunch. Excellent for allergies and dietary restrictions as well (Celiac).

Dan Morgan

My wife ordered gluten free, she was served gluten. She is a celiac. Unacceptable. No apology from the server or manager. The item was also left on the bill. I honestly can’t believe this is how this restaurant operates.

E G

Celiac safe-Gluten free fryer. The gluten free halibut was amazing! The patio is lovely. The service was great, efficient, personable & friendly.

Fran Nemeth

I would have given 5 starts if there was a designated GF fryer. Yanet was amazing and took my celiac condition seriously and was super careful. Will definitely be back.

Erinn McLeese

I ordered the onion rings for my friend who is celiac and from the time I called to the time she was able to eat her first onion rings in over 10yrs.... she is IN BLISS!!! And I am so excited for her! Thank-you!!!!

Steve Sakamoto

Amazing food, very friendly and accommodating service, and the vibe is incredible - especially when the band is in the house.I don't know what they put into the focaccia bread, but if go there and pay full pop for the bread alone. It's like pastry - a little crisp on the outside, delightfully fluffy inside, and the dusting of salt flakes...magic. When I say the food is amazing, I mean the food is AMAZING (the 'Sophia' is as tantalizingly delicious as its namesake). Extra points for the gluten free pasta option!

brooklyn hendry

We had a wonderful experience thanks to our server, Erin. She was incredibly kind and friendly, making us feel right at home. Erin went out of her way to ensure we had celiac-friendly options, demonstrating genuine care for our dietary needs. Her attentiveness and warm demeanor truly made our visit special. We left feeling valued and well taken care of!

Justine Brennick

Incredible breakfast, especially for a gluten free meal

dan shalloween

Great staff, delicious food and reasonable prices. Lots of gluten free options for my partner.

Mariam Star

We went for lunch. The pasta was delicious, and they have a nice variety and gluten-free options. The mussels and chorizo were excellent, very recommended! Friendly staff and fresh and yummy food. Will repeat for sure.

Jeremy Scott

This place is one of the best restaurants we've been to in a while. Everything we had was fantastic: Beef tenderloin carpaccio, smoked chicken penne, pan seared miso halibut, blackened creole chicken. My wife has celiac and they have a lot of options. The gluten free penne was probably the best GF pasta she has tried. We also had a few cocktails and they were all well made. Earl Grey Martini was a stand out for me. Our server was very nice and accommodating as well and service was very fast.

Anna Hanael

This restaurant is a gem. The food is superb. Lots of gluten free options. I had a crepe with seafood, veggies bunded in delicious creamy sauce. Pear salad with goat cheese is Highly recommended.

Jeff Fraser

I used to eat at Big Wheel 3 - 4 times per month because they had the only gluten free crispy chicken burger in town. It was always great and was my go-to eat out meal. Now that they’ve stopped making the chicken burger gluten free I have not been back.

Ryan

The only slight complaint was from my senior parents. The temperature inside was too cold. It was January and sat next to a fireplace. The waitress who was AMAZING tried her best to turn the heat up. It was just a drafty area. My daughter, who can't handle much gluten, was very nicely provided with cucumbers and tapanade for her bread course. My parents both have allergies and were informed during each course that the items were both shellfish and tree nut free. Our server seemed very sincere, and the table maintenance was impeccable. The food was great as always. If you understand great Italian food and the way to approach the menu, you'll be in for a treat!

Jodi

Had the best pizza of my life. The Prosciutto and Argula pizza. They Catered to my dietary needs for I'm Celiac and require and Epi Pen. My Entire family enjoyed the food and we will be going back . Thank you

Lisa Hermann

They don't have many gluten free options. I ordered and was assured that the kitchen will take care. I got sick later that night as I have celiac disease. So care was not taken.

Midori Frisk

Rice bowls are surprisingly good and also gluten free (celiac safe)

Eric LeBlanc

We needed gluten free and we were very happy to know that they have a dedicated gluten free menu and they use a dedicated gluten free fryer for their food. It can be really hard to find a lot of places like this, but this is by far my favourite place to eat in Victoria! I really want to thank everyone there who made it very easy to find safe food for us.

Shannon KMG

Absolutely love Bunny and her team! Everyone is kind and there to help patiently while I peruse the many many vegan options and wonderful gluten free options. Has become one of my favourite gluten free places in Victoria!

Michael Forrester

The pizza is awesome, and really great late night. Gluten free is good too with a tasty crust! Cross contamination can be a thing if you're celiac so heads up. Its so good that its often very busy which means orders can take a while and we now go and pickup because delivery was always taking too long. We still keep going back though cuz its 👌 super tasty.

Dylan Lyons

Great Brunch spot. Lots of Gluten Free Options and good coffee. Highly recommend.

Jessica Leslie

We went during happy hour so the menu was limited but the food was delicious. Highly recommend the pot of miso soup, very tasty. Items are clearly marked if they are gluten free.

Kate Holder

The Tan Tan Ramen has the most delicious Vegan Mushroom broth and can be done with Gluten free noodles!!!

Nicholas Whetstone

Excellent options for those with celiac disease and the salsa is absolutely amazing.

Jenna Wenkoff

I ordered pick-up and told them over the phone that I have Celiac Disease and needed them to avoid cross-contamination. When I got home I realized two of the dishes were deep fried. I called them and discovered that the two dishes were deep-fried in the same oil with gluten. Going forward I hope they remove the 'gf' label next to foods that are fried in a contaminated frier, and train their staff to tell customers with allergies about the frier. No hard feelings, I just hope this review helps!

Karena Holtz

My favourite place to go when I visit Victoria! I have been eating here for many years. And each brunch or lunch or dessert is a feast for both my senses and belly. Nutritious, beautifully prepared and presented drinks and meals with exceptional flavours. Great service that is always sensitive and accommodating to my dairy and gluten allergies. A huge hug of gratitude for the incredible people who make this place a beautiful experience in every way!

thomas scherbak

Gluten free biscuits are to die for if you have the itch of a place you should go. Also their specials when ever I have been have always just hit the spot
