Top 20 Gluten-Free Places Across Central Vancouver for Late Night Cravings

Ivo S

So many amazing GF options - almost 90% of the menu is naturally or can be made GF!

Lana Fedora

In heaven. Most items are or can be made safe for celiac. Had the Yum Bowl…sooooo good. The best part though? GLUTEN FREE ONION RINGS. They were just incredible. If you’re able, come down and chow down. It’s definitely worth it.

Jessica Shifrin

Came here for our anniversary dinner, as a celiac I usually avoid eating out Italian as the pasta substitute js subpar, that was not the case here. The best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had and most appies and all deserts were gluten free. My gluten eating husband also said it was the best pasta he’s ever had. Was nice to have a desert option that was not a flourless chocolate cake, highly recommend the olive oil cake! The service was really good and they were very knowledgeable about celiac. Would highly recommend!

This was the second time I've had their pizza! The cashew cheese is sooo good! All crusts are wheat free, and they have separate oven and fryer for celiac. The cashew blue cheese dip was the perfect pairing. One thing I wanted to add is the last time I had the BEST vegan ice cream flavor I've ever had. Lavender and butterfly pea! Please do that again!

Annie Yang

The menu is SO CLEARLY LABELED! I can’t have gluten or dairy and I had the most fabulous dinner! The cider was also lovely. Kind staff that take allergies very seriously

Brittany Rene

So busy. Even when we went in winter. But the food is banging. Able to work with my gluten free and dairy free diet. Still thinking about that Mediterranean bowl. One of the best meals of my life tbh.

anthony dallazanna

gluten friendly options and can accommodate celiac

Sarah Stephenson

As a celiac, it's very hard to find places to trust. Practically this entire place was gluten free! Killed Mexican with a creative twist. Loved it - highly recommend!

Tiera Harrison

Tiffany was super nice and attentive. Food tasted so nice, the gluten free burger buns stayed together and the farmers market salad was delicious. Second time we’ve been and it’s 5 ⭐️ again

Liam Buchan

One of the best fast food burgers I've had in recent memory. Celiac safe too.

Lindsey Johnston

Had a great first experience here today. They are especially accommodating for Gluten free options.

Lauren P

Y'all!! I've been getting delivery for a while from here, but finally went in to eat the other day. The staff were all friendly. I would've given 5 stars to the delivery quality alone, but would give 6 stars for the fresh stuff. The machetes are phenomenal. ¡Perfecto! And the yuca fries... *Drools As a celiac, it's nice that most things are gluten free, and as I've never felt sick from eating here, it's one of my safe go-to restaurants. If you're in the area, I would 100% recommend this place, especially if you eat gluten-free (or even have dairy restrictions too, they can take care of you).

Vikram S

This place is a hidden gem. A women owned business which serves delicious vegan options. Restaurant does not have huge seating space but can accommodate a group of 6-8. We tried Bombay Bad Boy pizza and were surprised with flavor. I will highly recommend trying "Almond Cassava" crust; it is gluten free but not too hard or crispy. Definitely worth visiting if you are vegan/vegetarian food lover or, interested in trying vegan food.

Server was wonderful - very knowledgeable about the menu and the wines. I got a gluten free pizza that was pretty terrible, probably the worst one I've gotten in a restaurant actually- the crust was thin and chewy, not in a good way; it was like a frozen pizza. The ceaser salad had polenta croutons that were good but there was only like 4 of them total. I felt safe as a celiac and there was lots of GF stuff on the menu to try, but definitely avoid the pizza. (If you want good GF pizza in the area go across the street to Per Se, it's the best I've ever had!) I would come back to try the other options though.

If this is your first time visiting Vancouver, Miku would be my top recommendations on your itinerary list for places to eat. Now, this isn't your typical sushi restaurant, in fact, I would consider this to be fine dining and here's why. When it comes to Japanese food, presentation is the most important next to customer service level, and they are bang on. I absolutely love how intricate their sushi layered to simplicity on a plate. Reminds me of a zen garden. The waiters/ waitress' are knowledgeable of their dishes being served and super friendly! Dishes are, at minimum $20, but the portions are decently sized. (Anything with Wagyu will always be expensive). They do offer gluten -free and vegetarian dishes and non alcoholic drinks. (I had their Shiso Nojito and it was the most refreshing non-alcoholic I've ever had. Not too sweet either). Overall, I would highly recommend it for first time travellers to Vancouver. It's absolutely a beautiful place to dine in!

Jo Munro

If your gluten or dairy free and want some poutine this is the place. So tasty, great value and quick service. I got the vegan and gf poutine.

Hubby and I (from Australia) began our Canadian holiday with a New Year's dinner at Cardero's. Although jet lagged as we had arrived that morning, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. It was made extra special by our friendly and professional server, Katy. The food was incredible. We had the prawn cocktail and BBQ ribs as appetisers, and both were divine. We then had the signature salmon and beef tenderloin for mains and finished with the most silky and creamy peanut butter cheesecake. It was also decorated with happy anniversary for our 10th wedding anni. Katy helped me with matching wines, and this was much appreciated. We tried ice wine for the first time, and we're addicted. Menu is incredibly gluten friendly. What a delectable dinner to start our Canadian food adventures!

Stephen Juwono

I love the food and vibe here. As a Celiac, I always order their Trifecta Rice Plate and have always been asked if I'm Celiac or have a gluten allergy, which is reassuring. My non-Celiac partner usually gets their banh mi and he loves them.

R.

Pretty good portion on the dosas if you get their Dosa of the day. I like the lamb on Tuesdays. Pretty fast at in-between times (non-dinner time) when they are quite empty. The dosa is probably gluten-friendly but you might want to ask if other ingredients inside it are gluten-friendly too.

Alyssa Clayton

Tom was amazing. I have celiac disease and he answered all my questions, advised me what to avoid and double checked with the chef to make sure every thing was safe. Felt very comfortable eating here, will definitely go back. Great service and great food

Minyonne Greenfield

I chose the Pour house based on reviews and a widely advertised gluten free menu. There is indeed a gluten free fryer however other allergies were not well managed. We discussed extensively with the team what was available and were offered chips and a green salad. As we were attending a show nearby we took the option believing it to be relatively safe. We were disappointed at the lack of effort to accommodate or make any suggestions of suitable items. I had a reaction shortly after dinner. I would not recommend this venue to anyone with a serious allergy

tyler petrowski

Kiki is the best in biz very careful when it comes to allergy’s celiacs welcome !

Emily Firth

Great Gluten Free Options! Gluten free pasta and salads and appies 🙏🏻

abby scott

kiona was our server on a date night and we have nothing but amazing things to say about her!! She was sooooo accommodating to our gluten allergy and just all around a friendly, positive, and helpful person. I would come back JUST to have Kiona as my server.

Justin Malhi

This was one of the best places we’ve ever been to! The food was incredible, the process of grilling our food was easy and the waitress was very helpful, the gluten free variety was huge and the service was top tier! Had no issues at all and although we ate a lot, the prices weren’t unfair at all. We’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks for everything!

C D

cheap food, cheap drinks, lots of gluten free options, looks like it's stuck in time, I loved it and would absolutely come back

SYDNEY HOLMES

super friendly server (Helena) who was very attentive and helpful. very helpful with gluten free food options

Aislinn Flanagan

I’ve always loved coming here. Today was probably my 6th-8th visit, and I can say with confidence that Hello Nori is very consistent. The yellowtail hand roll with Shiso leaf added is my favourite. The by the glass sake options are great and they all pair well with the rolls. Lisa was my server today and she was excellent. She checked in lots and made sure that the chef was aware of my gluten intolerance. Gold star for Hello Nori, I will be back!

catherine heith

Great place for those with celiac disease or a gluten allergy. I received GF bread and many of the dishes are or can be made GF. They have GF appetizers, pasta, risotto and GF dessert. The service was great.

chloe kf

Amazing service, ambiance & food! Accommodated gluten free so well! Very cozy! Great drinks also!

Natasha Chan

Loved our experience at Minami - we had a bunch of dietary restrictions and were celebrating our wedding which they thoughtfully provided us with a surprise dairy free/ gluten free dessert 🙏🏼 service was excellent, we loved the aburis, brussel sprouts (try it!) and how fresh the sashimi was!

Christopher Fairhurst

Our turbulent first night in Vancouver with hotel issues was saved by the Cactus Club Cafe. We missed our booking due to the issues, but we were helped by great staff who told us we could sit at the bar to eat. The bartenders were amazing, the drinks excellent and the food was amazing with great options for vegan and gluten free. Highly recommended.

Dustin Burlet

My wife and I along with our kiddos (12, 10, 8) were exceptionally pleased with our time at Red Robins at 803 Thurlow Street. While parking was (to be honest) a little involvement (and expensive!) I cannot sing the praises of our server (Chris) enough. One of my kids has Celiac and we had no issues (that same kid also had over FIFTEEN helpings of the oranges, haha). My other tikes also enjoyed several helpings of the bottomless Mac and Cheese. Not to belabor things but Chris was a true model of servanthood. We could not have asked for more :-)

Nikita Crane

A definite treat dinner due to its higher cost but knowledgeable servers and happy to make amendments to offer GF options

Shachar Tsafon

Great gluten free pizza, small but very tasty. It’s such a cool place!

Jaceyproudfoot

Fabulousl gluten free options! Great location and exceptional food. High quality ingredients. All the food coming from the kitchen looked outstanding! Can't wait to return! Check out the cool street view!

Shawn Michaud

Rented a private room for a business meeting. Received very high end service. Food quality and options were through the roof. They easily made accommodations for a guest that was gluten free. The sea food was very fresh and the steak was cooked perfectly. The service was very informative and the atmosphere was unmatched as it was within a private wine cellar. Highly recommend for special occasions.

Susan English-Thompson

On a vacation/work trip recently we had a late dinner at Coast restaurant. We were lucky to be able to sit outside thanks to the beautiful evening and the added comfort of there heaters. I have celiac disease, so always have to be extra careful when eating out. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of options I had and our waitress was amazing! Shout out to Sam for guiding me through all my options to keep me safe. She was super careful to triple check with the chef to make sure I had a very good and safe experience. Her charm, knowledge of the food and pleasant personality, elevated our experience.

Jo Munro

If you have allergies or restrictions these guys take it seriously. I got the vegan mozzarella as gluten free and they made it out the back to be safe which I really appreciated. Tasted good for a gluten free pizza.

Pathum Kodikara

Mount Everest Kitchen & Grill in Vancouver is a hidden gem serving up bold Nepalese, Indian, and Indo-Chinese flavors. Their momos are a must-try, and the lamb curry packs just the right heat! With vegan and gluten-free options, plus friendly service, this spot is perfect for a flavorful feast.

Yotam Cohen

Sarah is an amazing waitress. So kind and sweet. She was really knowledgeable and helpful with my girlfriend’s gluten allergy. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.

Craig P

Such a lovely atmosphere, great pasta and really pleasant and helpful staff. My wife is a coeliac so cannot eat normal pasta, so this was substituted with gluten free potato gnocchi (which she chose to have the Pomodoro sauce) which she loved. I had the tortellini gorgonzola that was superb. We finished off with flour free chocolate cake and gelato, only $10.95 each. Would highly recommend Zefferellis.

Ariana Arrue

We got gluten free w vegan mozzarella, and if you eat this way- you know the ingredients can be hit or Miss at Some places… THIS is your gluten free pizza place!! SO Delicious I would go back in a heartbeat.

Jemma Lee

First time here was a great experience. Nice atmosphere and window views, wonderful service from Kurtis, menu has a great selection of food, the burgers are really good, as well as the prawn laksa curry and chipotle mango chicken, some nice gluten free options! I hope one day they can have a gluten conscious option for the Chicken Madeira Rigatoni because it’s the best pasta of all time. They also have happy hour on a Friday night! Can’t wait to come back!

Anzor Barsik

The best halal option in the lower mainland hands down. They even have gluten free options like the birria tacos. The cheesesteak is incredible and their truffle fries are a must. Whenever someone visits Vancouver and they ask me where to eat, this is always my first recommendation. The best in town.

Hirsch (waz)

Food was very good. Every dish was interesting. Many Gluten free and dairy free options which is a requirement for my family. Once the order was in, our waiter was hard to find. Unfortunately the kitchen screwed up the timing on the veggies which only arrived after we had consumed the main course. In mitigation, the manager apologized profusely (twice) and the items were removed from the bill.

Cecile Dubois-Herry

We loved out brunch there, the staff is fantastic and the atmosphere chic & cosy. The eggs Benedict with salmon were accompanied with delicious stacked potatoes and the generous avocado toast had a gluten-free bread option. It was presented scrambled with shredded cheese and a poached egg, I really enjoyed it as well as the mimosa with what felt like real oranges. The prices were very reasonable for that kind of place, in fact we paid as much in more "laid back" cafes, maybe because it's brunch but the service & food quality would definitely be worth a dinner too.

KERP Photography

Never disappointed. The food is very good and service is same or better. At least under my experience. As a celiac, I feel very safe woth the gluten free selection they offer.

Christopher Lim

Made only gluten free menu order with gluten free bun selected. Food came in a wheat brioche bun. Kitchen paid zero atrention to the order ticket. I expected more from cactus.

Olivia O'Rourke

We order from cactus at LEAST once a week - but typically order from a different location. The hot pickles were fatty, cold, and they did not include dip. They were poorly dressed. The zen roll seemed to have had the taro on top swapped out for wontons (which I can’t eat because I’m gluten free). Both went into the garbage. We called, but after 10 minutes on hold no one answered. Surprising for a quiet Sunday night. Absolutely will not return or order again from this location. Poor service. Go to a different location!
