Top 4 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in 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.

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.

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.

The gluten free chicken fingers and truffle fries are 🥰

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!

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.

Rachelle Doucette

Such a great atmosphere. Great options for gluten free food, celiac aware - they have a seperate fryer!

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!

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.

Went here for my mom’s birthday, not only were the staff lovely and the food was so tasty. There were so many gluten free options, including empanadas, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Vanessa Shores

Love the gluten-free and vegan options!

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. :)

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.

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

Gluten free is not stated on the menu, but they had quite a few options.

Twyla Misurko

Amazing sandwich! Gluten free option was great.

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)

Zoë K

Amazing for GLUTEN FREE!! Must try for their delicious tapas style plates - would love to go back!

Bonita On-Ngan

Food and service is always amazing! Love that there are great gluten free options , my husband is celiac. They always able to accommodate my husbands food allergy. This is now our go to spot for amazing platters and wraps! Highly recommend!!!!

Jaret Hargreaves

Probably the best soft tacos I’ve ever had. And gluten-free so my lovely partner can have them!

It is hard to find a better sushi place in Calgary than Midori. You can really tell there is passion and care from everyone involved for their craft; they are a must try for anyone who lives in or is visiting Calgary. As the name suggests they are a quaint Japanese-styled sushi restaurant that works hard to present items in an elegant fashion. Their selection is truly diverse and refined, and of the many times I’ve been there, all of their menu items have never disappointed. The sushi was all outstandingly fresh and delicious. Their in-house special salad was crisp, clean, and refreshing, and quickly became one of my favorite food items. It is also made completely gluten free. This is one of those restaurants that, anytime I visit, I am always left satisfied!

Kris McMahon

Went to this place with a friend specifically for gluten free drinks and food they advertised. After pointing to every gf tagged item on the menu and told "no sorry that can't be made gluten free" we paid our bill and left.

Jane Wilder

Food was very good but the service was horrible. Did not even come close to warranting the automatic 20% tip that was added to our bill. We felt completely ignored by our waiter… it was also frustrating because when I went inside to use the washroom and there was not as a single person dining inside- I’m not sure why the service was so terrible to be honest. Also extremely disappointed by the drinks- they were sooo watered down. Even though they were discounted they literally were just juice in a cup entirely filled with ice. Not one person in our group was even a tiny bit tipsy after like 4 or 5 drinks each. Also our friend specifically requested gluten free buns but was brought regular buns and told that he could take the burgers apart if he wanted to… and then was still charged for the burgers they got wrong. For a real allergy this is something they should take extremely seriously and it’s crazy to me that they didn’t. Would not recommend!!!!!!!!! There are restaurants to either side that are way better.

Marie-Noel Voyer

Love the sushi here!! Portions are big and I always feel satisfied eating there. I usually order and have it delivered. I found it hard to go pick up because there is no parking anywhere. They are always excellent with requests with extra ginger and gluten free soy sauce. They always get it right!! I’ve eaten there at least a dozen times.

Mandy Crustina

Amazing gluten free vegan pizza! Cool 90s antique matrix kind of vibe inside!
