Top 41 Gluten-Free Mediterranean Havens to Explore in Ontario

Megan

Absolutely amazing experience here. Truly celiac safe. Dedicated gluten free area. Gluten free wraps. I’ve never gotten to have shawarma before in my entire life so this was amazing. Staff were so friendly and quick to ease our cross contamination concerns. Well worth the trip out here.

This place is not 100% gluten free. Atly, please update this listing.

One of the most enjoyable meals I have had in a LONG time. I have been to Greece before, and authentic Greek food is one of my absolute favorites. That being said, it is extremely hard to find a restaurant in North America that comes even close to an authentic Greek experience. So stepping inside the doors of Kasbah was a very magical and nostalgic meal for me. Everything about it screamed “authentic”. From the atmosphere to the items on the menu (some which I haven’t seen on a menu since I was actually in Athens), everything was incredible. A simple Greek salad turned into pure magic. And the souvlaki made me happy from the corners of my mouth to the tips of my toes. To top it off, the menu is mostly gluten free (or could be modified to be gluten free), and they handled my allergies to both soy and gluten with ease and grace. We were only visiting the area, but this is a meal I will be dreaming about for years. It’s almost worth the 20-hour drive.. 😏 If you get a chance, try it. You won’t regret it. Hats off to our waitress Cassidy! She took such wonderful care of us, and we just loved her!

Miriam Lehman

Amazing time and food. We were 3. Stayed away from the dips so that we didn’t have to segregate with normal pita and gf pita. 7 dishes split 3 ways and just gorgeous food. Felt very safe there after asking questions.

Erin Leigh Courtice

We had the most amazing meal! So much delicious food, and our server Carrie was beyond wonderful. Very accommodating for celiacs, as well! We will absolutely be returning - highly recommend!!!

Jennifer Iacono

Amazing lamb!!! Great gluten-free wraps, too!

Manon Hachey

Upon arriving, the hostess was great. Our server, Taylar, is a gem! Very knowledgeable, polite, and very pleasant. I wasn’t sure what to order and she pointed out some great items from the gluten free menu. I was very pleased to see such a great variety. She was very attentive to our needs and made sure she checked in at appropriate times. We always love going to GT’s. The food, drinks, music, and above all, the staff are great.

Rachel Millar

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!!!! EXCEPTIONAL FOOD + OUTSTANDING SERVICE by our hostess Sainsha equals us returning for a second time during our mini vacay. Between our two visits - We had the K-Saq to start … followed by Lebanese Cevapi, Here comes the Bride, Grilled Balkan Beef & Lamb Cevapi, Maros Special … For drinks - the kids had Iced Lattes & we loved the Tehran Underground cocktail which totally topped off our experience. Sainsha was extremely attentive, and caring helping us with our questions as we had no idea how big the portion sizes would be. So listen to her when she tells you if it’s too much lol ! She was also great in helping baknce our palate which we appreciated greatly. Topping all of that off with the fact that I am Gluten intolerant so having a variety of dishes to choose from totally made my day. Thank you Sainsha & Maro’s for being a memorable part of our trip this time … a 10/10 You guys know how to make everyone, especially visitors feel special … Keep doing what you’re doing!!

We make a couple of trips from Toronto to Niagara a year and like so many other reviewers, we have seen the Lakehouse Restaurant but never stopped in. This time we made a conscious decision to stop on our way home for lunch and are we ever glad we did!! Obviously the location and views are stellar. However what made this experience so special was the food and the service. Our server, Ashley, could not have been nicer or more attentive even with it being so busy. In fact, all the staff we interacted with were so nice and helpful. The food was excellent!! My husband had the lamb burger and I had the goat & beet salad with the gluten free bread plate. The Lakehouse offers little desserts which were perfect to top off the lunch....we highly recommend the skors or the dark chocolate, raspberry, orange desserts. Reservations are recommended although we were accommodated without one. The atmosphere was so relaxed and enjoyable and we cannot wait to go back.

Absolutely love eating here, the vibe is amazing and the staff are top tier! The food and atmosphere are so unique and as a Gluten Free Vegan who doesn't drink, trust me when I say this is a haven. I have been a few times so I have tried most of the food. Alot of the menu is already edible for me as is, but the majority of the menu can be accommodated to a vegan and/or gluten free diet which is amazing. The mocktails are equally fantastic. Watching the chefs at work in the open kitchen is the best, and the Management team and Madison in Events are always the most generous and accommodating. If you are so lucky to have service from Joseph, you will leave a very happy and full man! Can't wait to be back in the summer for Jungle Brunch!

Carly Brender

Nearly the entire menu is gluten free. Very knowledgeable about cross contamination. Food is delicious and the staff are fantastic. Always a safe and delicious spot to visit. Our go to special occasion resto for years.

The food was okay, but not great. I had the gluten-free pizza, and unfortunately, the crust was disappointing—I’ve had better at Domino’s. My boyfriend ordered the chicken, which was dry and lacked flavor, and the rice tasted undercooked and slightly hard. My friend had the mushroom pasta, which she said needed more flavor, though she did enjoy it overall. The biggest letdown, however, was the wait time—it felt like almost an hour before our food arrived. On the bright side, our waiter was wonderful—super friendly and welcoming, which helped make up for some of the negatives. Overall, it was an average experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Daniel Francavilla

The food is always on-point. Incredible selection, so much to try. Always good for a group, either pickup or dine-in. However, service is an issue as they awkwardly require everything to be paid for at the cash and guests can’t order anything to the table. It’s high quality, just note that there’s lots of extra charges for sauces and such, and the cost for additional wraps, especially gluten free, is disproportionately high.

Alice Leung

Tabule has always been my favourite restaurant, my top choice for lunch in the neighborhood. The menu offers a variety of healthy options including gluten free items. The staff here are all pleasant and helpful especially Mina. I look forward to see her there every time.

Beth Scannell

Lebanese Garden catered our holiday event in December. The food was delivered right on time, set up very professionally, and everything was delicious. They were also able to cover all our special needs (gluten free, vegan, etc.) We got many compliments from the attendees! We will be sure to call them again for our next event!

Allegra Nardulli

This spot has the best gluten free wraps and lemon potatoes!! The staff and owner were so amazing and accommodating and you could just taste how fresh the ingredients are! So many of the sauces were also dairy free which made it easy to enjoy! Definitely saving this spot for the next time I’m in the area! 10/10 😍

Elwanda Morgan

I had a great experience at this place! The food was delicious and the staff was very attentive. They even remembered that my friend has celiac disease and took extra precautions to prevent cross contamination.

Trudy Lucas

Their falafals are so tasty, gluten free, fresh made. We love their biodegradable side dish containers and paper packaging. So eco friendly.

Andrew N

I had a wonderful experience here with my partner! We thoroughly enjoyed that everything was Vegan and furthermore there were clear labels for what was gluten free and soy free. Made the experience relaxing knowing that there were so many choices for someone with food restrictions. Even when it wasn’t GF. It could be made GF. I’m wowed by that! Thank you!

Mike Somerville

Great gluten friendly place!!!

Jane Davidson Snider

This place is incredible. The food and service are both top notch and they are ultra careful about gluten free and food allergies. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this place.

Bev Ruffo

Love the food here - some great gluten-free options. Servers are always cheerful and helpful. Not fancy, but bright and cheerful

Ajay Chaudhary

Superb place, location 10 on 10 Sufficient gluten-free and vegetarian options A must try and you will not be disappointed.

whitney relyea

Hands down THE BEST food I have ever had. Having a gluten allergy, I tried the fawaffle cone and Alijandros Box at the food trucks by my building. I now order the Alijandros box weekly! 😅 For someone who's used to having gluten free meals I've never had something gluten free taste as amazing as the Alijandros Box. Idk what they do but it's just 1000x better than shwarma plates I've had before. Highly recommend!!

Bill J

Some of the most delicious pasta I’ve ever had and the service was excellent. Also, I have celiac disease and had no reaction after eating the gluten free pasta. Great stuff

Heidi Stumpf

Delicious and always willing to make everything gluten free

sabrina parrish

I N C R E D I B L E - Food, Staff, Service and Owner! 100% can't wait to book their catering services again! My husband and I recently tied the knot just south of Collingwood with a wedding of approx. 120 people. Bessie and Richard at Fig & Feta were incredibly organized, prepared and accommodating! While booking - Celiac was a dietary concern of ours which was no problem for Fig & Feta! Fig & Feta really knows what they are doing and so it was easy for us to enjoy the day knowing that Bessie was overseeing the catering! We are still receiving compliments about the food. AMAZING!

Rodney LeBlanc

My wife has celiacs disease and when I asked for a gluten free pita I did not get the normal huffing and puffing but instead the women said absolutely no problem and not only cleaned the grill but also had all her cooking utensil cleaned and sterilized. Thank you so much to the young lady and gentlemen at thunder bay pita pit yesterday

Fernand St-Onge

Great find! Delicious food! Gluten free Delicious!

Brodie River

BiBi’s in Hintonburg offers delicious Middle Eastern dishes with a modern twist. Their shawarma, falafel, and hummus are always on point, and they have great vegan and gluten-free options. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual meal. Highly recommend it for anyone craving fresh, flavorful food!

Doug Johnson

I am addicted to their falafel in a pita. It's perfection. Note they also have a gluten free wrap that my wife loves.

Emma Laitila

Everything was perfect! I would 1000% recommend coming here. The staff were personable and helpful, the food blew us away in beauty and flavour, and the atmosphere is cozy. We are already planning our next visit. I am gluten free (not celiac) and the menu had a ton of options, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu and helped me pick a lot of options with alternatives if needed.

Lila Greenheart

I'm so happy they have gluten-free options!!🥹💖💖I can now enjoy their amazing pies. I tried their meat and zaatar pies, they were so delicious!! Thank you so much for the great food and the great service!!🌟

Rob McLennan

Great food and excellent service. Very friendly staff and most helpful. We had a gluten free pizza and some drinks.

Nancy Pilzecker

I shared dinner with seven of my sorority sisters this evening. We had a little area to ourselves with our waitress or server Robin. Everything about the evening was perfect, including Robin. She anticipated our needs for drinks and for take out boxes and we did not have to wait for our appetizers with the meals coming shortly thereafter. The timing for the entire meal was just perfect. I also have celiac disease with tree nut and shell fish allergies. Both Robin and the Head Chef made sure I was accommodated and I had no issues. I ordered the pork loin dinner and it was moist and tender. It was a large meal for me to finish so I now have a second meal to enjoy at home. A big thank you to Robin and Paradiso for a wonderful pre-Christmas celebration. We were also given a gift certificate to use on our next visit and I will be bringing my hubby back to enjoy this special place. Nancy

Meagan FitzGerald

They didn’t have any tables available but they let us sit at the bar because we were in a rush, and they took excellent care of us. The food was amazing, as usual. Jacob who greeted us at the door was very kind, and our waiter Marianne was great too. And obviously the food was amazing, as usual. They accommodated my gluten allergy as well which is always appreciated! Thanks!!! ⭐️

Judy Whelan

While in Ottawa for the day, I met and had a beautiful dinner in the early evening with my niece on November 5th, at Cyranos, my 3rd time there; Paula was our very thoughtful and thorough server. (I have lactose and gluten intolerances.) As a starter, the “creamed” tomato soup, sans lactose, wow! Main for me was the grilled marinated lamb chops, rare and fabulous! I look forward to my next visit! Thank you Cyranos staff!

Dianne Smith

Visiting from Manitoba and was blown away by the service and the food. I have celiac disease and they were very accommodating and knowledgeable. Many items were gluten free. Highly recommend.

Derek Warmelink

Amazing gluten free options for authentic Greek food.

Kash Arora

Great service, and good food! No complaints :) I got the Mediterranean Shakshuka and the Landwer Iced Tea. The Shakshuka was pretty standard although I wish it was a bit warmer because the eggs were a tad bit too runny. I got the Shakshuka with gluten free bread but it was just standard grocery store toast lol. However, the tea was delicious and refreshing! No wait time on a weekday lunch which was SO surprising considering this place is always packed. Highly recommend joining the waitlist before going to the restaurant to avoid long wait times.

מיתר פלדמן

The food is delicious but the service was annoying. Many different and uncoordinated waiters served us. They took advantage of the fact that we are tourists to make them pay for mineral water when it is clear that this is not what they intended. They serve gluten-free pasta (I don't usually like corn pasta, but it was good and well-made) but there is no marking on the menu about dishes that can be served gluten-free, and verbally they gave confused answers. We made a reservation in advance and yet we were seated at the bar. There was annoying music in the background throughout the event.

Jody Blinoff

Love Osmow's in Keswick for our Mediterranean fix! Which we need often. Fast, very friendly service. Delicious food prepared and packaged with care. Chicken on the rocks and the Oz box are our favourites! Thanks for making the most delish gluten-free brownies in the world!

Marion Ho

Rebecca was very welcoming and was very patient and polite serving us seniors. Enjoyed my gluten free pizza

Brenda Eng

I wish to congratulate Sebastian and his staff on your delicious food, the service & attention you paid to our gathering, you really made the day! This was my first time to your restaurant, believe me it won’t be the last! You looked after my dietary needs, being celiac, it is stressful when I have to go out and be so careful. You went out of your way to bring me gluten free crackers, when the bruschetta looked so delicious, aswell you brought me mango sorbet, when I couldn’t have birthday cake. I won’t forget the extra mile you went to for me., and I look forward to my next trip to La Grotta. Bravo!

Ashley Flannery

Great family owned restaurant been coming here for over 10 years and nothings ever changed they’re one of the best shawarma places in the city. They’re also gluten free. Thank you for all the yummy food over the years ❤️

Naomi C

What a great experience! I called at 4pm and got a reservation for 730. Showed up and our table was ready for us even while they were very busy. Had a variety of gluten free options. The service was friendly and way above average! We can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

Thamara Dominguez

I love this restaurant! They have delicious gluten-free pizza and pasta, plus an exquisite peanut butter cheesecake. Also gluten-free.

Marla Pietruszko

so many glutenfree options for lunch and dinner !

S ghazi

Outstanding food and service. Many gluten free options. Lamb shank and lamb rack were delicious and halal. The seafood stew was the star. Staff are super friendly. One of the best in Toronto.

Reem A. D.

The food was great, our server the young lady was extremely helpful. Although we came late and it was packed, my husband didn't want to eat outside, she did her best to accommodate us indoor. She was all smile and cheerful. In addition they have gluten free menu for Celiac people which is a great addition. It was a pleasant experience. I would definitely go back.
