Top 47 Gluten-Free Spots to Enjoy Late Nights in Downtown 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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!

Ian Hopkin

Absolutely delicious food in a really nice space. Lots of gluten free options that were clearly marked on the menu.

Sarah N.

Cactus club is great for celiacs. They have a dedicated fryer. Staff are generally nice about allergies, I’ve only had one server who wasn’t kind. Otherwise I’ve been lots- it’s my go to restaurant living with celiac disease. Thanks for making eating out possible!

Alyssa Muncy

Marissa was incredible! She was attentive, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable when dealing with a celiac allergy at our table. Earl's accommodated a table request, (as most of our group was not able to sit at a high top table) and they left a wonderful birthday card on the table for the occasion. What a perfect touch! There was an undercooked steak at the table but Marissa was quick to respond and she dealt with this issue easily, bringing the replacement right away. Everyone in our group was offered a free dessert - assuming as part of the birthday celebration or could have been from the steak recook? Either way, we all left satisfied and very very impressed with the service. Thank you Marissa and team for helping to make my birthday dinner a special occasion!

Johnny Bravo

I explicitly asked for gluten free noodles due to an allergy, the cashier misunderstood and made gluten noodles. Spoke to owner and they weren’t willing to remake or refund :(

Emme Abbs

We loved our visit to Finn’s. Great service, food and atmosphere. I had the seafood linguine, my partner had Finn’s burger on a gluten free bun, and we shared the bison Carpaccio to start. Everything was delicious. Sad I didn’t get any pictures.

Ashley Fuccenecco

Very disappointed in my experience here today. The lady at the front till was very kind in explaining their Gluten free menu to me and made me feel comfortable ordering here since I am Celiac. My food was brought out and after I took one bite the same lady ran over and told me to stop eating right away as she failed to note that my order was Gluten Free and for a Celiac! She mentioned she’s glad she caught it quick enough - clearly doesn’t understand Celiac Disease and the importance relating that information to anyone dealing with this order and the fact that it’s to late and I’ve already ingested WAY to much gluten from that 1 bite. Incredibly glad I don’t have a severe food allergy that causes an anaphylactic reaction as her carelessness could have seriously impacted someone’s life. I am in for a very horrific next 24 hours and yes she was apologetic and made me the gluten free order very quick but this is still not acceptable. I will never return here as I do not feel this establishment takes Celiac Disease or even food allergies, for that matter, serious AT ALL. And for those of you thinking it was probably super busy it was completely dead when I came in and ordered (because I’m aware my orders need that extra time and I plan accordingly). Also pretty bad for no management to come out and chat with me after the fact… and no I did not get my 30 dollars back for my 3 tacos… but the lost money is the least of my worries. Celiac people beware!

Suzy

Gluten free pizza was pretty good! The pasta, on the other hand, was terribly over salted. Service was quick and pleasant.

Xyrina Gutierrez

Love, love, love! Came here a few weeks ago while visiting town. My boyfriend and I were in a bit of a rush to get back in the ferry so we wanted something quick and easy. Luckily, Bodega had space for us on the patio and the service was so quick- we were able to enjoy our food without stressing. We ordered four dishes which was the perfect amount for us to share, as well as some olives to snack on. Each dish came out as we finished the last which was great. I was pleasantly surprised that they offer gluten free focaccia which was actually delicious as well as non alcoholic Rosé which was such a special treat. Will be back on our next visit!

Cait Foster

Food is always good, sometimes awesome; this is one of few restaurant chains in Victoria that serves Celiacs with care. I love the little notes they write on takeout orders - it’s such a small detail, but it goes such a long way!

Carly McGhee

Service was great! They were super accommodating of my gluten and dairy allergies. Defiantly a spot of fresh seafood. The oysters were great, steaks cooked perfectly.

Lucielle Dinney

Great service and the food was great! They even have a dedicated fryer for celiacs!

Jeremy Mills

Hands down the best pizza in Victoria @ the best price PERIOD! Also a bonus is that this place has the best options for gluten free and dairy free that you can find in Victoria! The gluten free crust is amazing & they must use a daiya vegan cheese on they're pizza's 😋. So for gluten and dairy sensitive this is hands down the best pizza place in the city for you, and for me who can have dairy and gluten this is by far the best pizza I've had in Victoria in 20 years

Zoi Livia

I’m a local fan. The atmosphere is fantastic. Love the gluten free options. First visit I had GF fried chicken and waffles. It was excellent. Tonight I had the Kale and Burrata cheese. It was delicious! Location is also great. Close to public parking. 1:2 a block to the inner harbour.

Ashe

I ordered gluten free and they had great options! Very patient and basically made me a custom one. Really good flavour and size! Im surprised they dont have 5 starts all the way

Maddie Jennings

Got a gluten free pizza and it was amazing! Quick service and yummy food!

Camila Kestelboim

🍜🌟 Baan Thai Wok & Bar is a great place to enjoy one of the best pad thai I've ever had. The food is authentic and delicious, with perfectly balanced flavors and impeccable presentation. 🍲👌 The restaurant also offers several gluten free options, which is ideal for those with dietary restrictions. 🌾🚫 The ambiance of the restaurant is very pleasant, with charming decor that complements the dining experience. It is a cozy and well-designed place, perfect for enjoying a relaxed and tasty meal. 🌺✨ If you are a fan of Thai food, this restaurant is definitely a must stop. Highly recommended for its excellent pad thai, its variety of gluten free options and its charming atmosphere! 🍴🌟

Matt Schmitt

Amazing sushi, great staff, loved the gluten free options and soy sauce! Thank you.

Ella Thorogood

My partner and I stopped here on the first night of our anniversary weekend at the suggestion of a friend. The atmosphere of the room was incredible, and all of the staff were very welcoming. We sat at the bar, and the bartender, Riley, was more than friendly, helpful, and accommodating. My partner is celiac, and he let us know what our best choices on the menu were. We ordered the Omakase Shokado, which is a chef-crafted selection of small, separated plates (great for celiac separation). When our food was delivered, the manager gave us a full rundown of everything on the plate, ensuring what was celiac-safe and what was just for me (non-celiac) to eat. The spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and salmon oshi were also incredible.It was a fully enjoyable experience; everything from the food, drinks, atmosphere, friendly nature, and celiac accommodation was above and beyond. We’ll definitely be back.

Amy L

We just had our office party here for about 70 people in the provate room. The staff were friendly and food was great. Calamari, fresh oysters and lots of variety for the gluten free and vegetarian.

Zahra Rezaie

Really nice, quick. Loud environment but if you aren’t sensitive about the loudness you’re gonna enjoy your time. Plenty of gluten free options

Shambha Steve

Best late night eats in VIC. The service is always good and the pizza is really good! Great daily deals and gluten free options for pizza. The price is right and the location is better. Decent tap beers at great prices, almost worth swinging over for a couple beers and back to the pub for water! Best service they offer is song requests for $5...worth every penny for the right song when the joint is packed! Unfortunately they dont honor the exchange rate here. Take your dollars elsewhere if you are not a local. Kind of a piss off....it changed my review from 5 star to 2 star. Change your thieving policy please.

Olivia

We had the perfect date night at Wind Cries Mary last night. Our server was very attentive and gave great recommendations. The food was all delicious and the drinks were some of the best cocktails I’ve had. They paired unique flavour combos like the goat cheese cocktail (which was so good!). 10/10 reccomend. They also had lots of gluten free options!

jennifer mcmillan

Thanks Burke D! Your service was fantastic and we had a great time! I really appreciate all the gluten free options for our family. Everything was delicious and the patio has the best views. Cheers!

J C

They have a good range of tequila options which seems to be rare in the city. But expected from a authentic menu from cafe Mexico. Recommend ordering the gluten free shells shrimp tacos.

Pam Lacey

Great location across from Chinatown gates. Seating inside and outside. Even a little parking lot. Lots and lots of sweet options. (Including Gluten free ones). My sister enjoyed her veggie wrap and I enjoyed my Mocha.

Jessica Blackman

Had a really great meal from Gozen. Fresh delicious sushi. Able to cater to GF/celiac safely. I had no reaction. Will definitely visit again!

Griffin Nesbitt

I had a beautiful dinner as the sun was setting. Went for my 25th birthday with my parents and really enjoyed the servers and food. We got a delicious side order of mussels, and I got the Vista 18 veggie burger (with gluten free bun) and added feta which was super yummy. Was a little shocked with some of the culinary choices, like the three whole yellow potatoes in my burger, or the pop rocks in the crème brûlée, but they were still delicious :•) ! Best suited for special occasions as it is quite pricey depending on what you order

Korinne Charity

It was a good quick stop for some cheap dinner. The loaded fries were way too spicy and the menu could offer a few more gluten friendly options. Other than that, it's just as I expected after visiting both locations in Vancouver.

Dion Pickles

One of the best joints in Victoria hands down. Gluten-free options for my celiac folks, delicious french cuisine, wonderful atmosphere, abundant wine list, cocktails, and immaculate service. There is a reason why Brasserie is able to operate without reservations. Go a bit before you're wanting to eat and get ready for a top-notch experience.

Liz Reading

Unfortunately Milestones has significantly reduced their gluten free/friendly menu options. Their main menu items are pricey but the portions are generous. The serving staff don't seem well informed about their wine or menu options but willing to check. However, the food is always consistent and the Milestones on the Victoria BC inner harbour has lovely views and a great, full sun patio in the nice weather. Of course, no one beats a Milestones bellini.

Luke Martin

Excellent gluten free options

Thor Wolpert

Love this place. Gluten free, video games, great food and friendly people.

Liz Sansoucy-Jones

Enjoyed the tapas style foods and some delicious menu items like bacon wrapped dates, ensalada verde, estofado de carne (short ribs), and grilled squid. They handled GF for a Celiac person very well. Friendly, welcoming service and atmosphere.

Romina Miranda

Gluten free tasty✅️, LATE night ✅️& pick up discount✅️‼️ Weekend cooks r BETTER😉 Substantially SUPERIOR to the 2 local 'hipster' places in the hood‼️OUTSTANDING WORK 👌🏾 Thank u for ur diligence & dedication to providing a quality product. 🙏🏾

Erica Lewis-Baird

We’re in town for our anniversary, could have picked any place to eat but chose this location. What a disaster. Apparently, a reservation means nothing to these folks. Food - calamari had two massive lumps of solid squid multiplied by 10 pieces stuck together. Mashed potatoes were whipped so much, they were just a lump of gluten. I asked for my prime rib to be medium - I received raw on one side and slightly brown on the other. My plate was less than desirable to say the least. Not sure why I would get a mini cup of ketchup with prime rib - had to ask for horseradish!! Thank you for an awful 13th wedding anniversary dinner!
