Natalie Stwrling-moses

Most reliable gluten friendly brunch spot. I'd recommend the salmon benny. Servers are polite, knowledgeable, and quick. Rajiko was awesome 👌

Lily Clerf

Weather you are Vegan or Vegetarian or neither, like me, this restaurant is an amazing experience accompanied by awesome food. As someone with Celiac Disease they are extremely accommodating. They even have their own Gluten-Free fryer so all can experience there incredible Chickpea Fries. I recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for a wonderful meal!

The server was wonderful and made sure that my food came out gluten free. I have celiac and I feel very comfortable eating here. I'm thoroughly impressed with my entire experience.

Stefanie Babchuk

If you have ANY allergies, this place has SOOOO many options. And let me tell you, the food is next level good. The flavor profile on all their items is delicious. I can’t rave enough about how good it is. I am gluten and dairy free and it’s so tough to find restaurants in Kelowna to accommodate. Naked cafe will provide you with top notch quality food that you will not be disappointed!!! Even the brownie wow!!!

Caleb Feijen

Favourite burger place in Canada. Very tasty gluten free buns, waiter was amazing.

El Taquero recently catered our wedding. They were absolutely incredible in all aspects. They had an exceptional team during the lead up to the event. On the day of they were extremely organized, personable with our guests, and the food was AMAZING! They managed allergies and took great care with my celiac disease. We are a few weeks out and I still have guests commenting on how delicious the food was! A huge thank you to the whole team! You made our special day that much more special!

Brynn Pardy

The best gluten free pizza ever and Luka was a star ⭐️

Sarah Nova

Great meals at a reasonable price, we had excellent service and everyone in our party loved their meal. Would definitely go back! They were very accommodating for food allergies like salt and gluten

Christina Bunch

Just finished our meal at Chilango. Ella, our server, was a delight and was quick to answer our questions. The food was amazing and came out so quickly! We overindulged as the menu looked so good that it was hard to pick. We had the burrito bowl, divorced enchiladas, Aztec soup, pork belly tacos and everything was amazing! The horchata and churros were delicious as well. Tons of gluten free options for our celiac friend too which was nice. We’ll be back. Couldn’t recommend this place more!!

Zarin Branston

Very disappointing to say the least, save your money and go somewhere else. Both deep fried dishes came cold and soggy from sitting on the pass while we waited for an entree salad and a burger to catch up. $4 for a gluten free bun is absurd but good on the bartenders for a delicious spicy marg. Kelowna local but I’ll never go back!

Hank Warhead

Our server Kaitlin was very nice and accommodated our gluten free request! The seafood linguine was very good too. Lobster was a little tasteless but the salmon and shrimp was delicious. Nice atmosphere too, would go again!!

Bill Steel

Had lunch, food was well presented, hot and tasty. One of my party was celiac and struggled to find a suitable menu item. Never having been to a Cactus Cafe before I had hoped for better.

Most delicious Gluten Free pizza I have ever eaten! The fried chicken was excellent as well. I will definitely eat here again.

Melony Catana

Lots of gluten-free options. Great Bennies with actual gluten-free english muffins. Friendly service, kid friendly, cozy atmosphere, good portions.

The margarita pizza was so delicious. The chicken pesto pizza was okay, a little dense and gave me a stomach ache. Some of the most delicious gluten free pizzas I’ve ever had.

Allison Pellegrini

This is a classic lunch stop in Kelowna. Crystal and her team are fantastic. She remembers my name and I go months without seeing her. They have alternating soups of the day. They also offer soup flights. She usually serves 4 types of soup and a sandwich feature and a lunch special. I love the veggie sandwich. She also has a lot of options for dietary restrictions and many gluten free options. It’s a nice warm place to feel important and have the most delicious lunch. Be sure to try her classic hobo soup. You can also purchase large format soups to go that are frozen to be enjoyed at home. Great value and comfort food!

Siman Sandhu

The food is absolutely delicious and the service was great as well. Dosa is a little hidden gem. They have a large menu of savoury and sweet crepes that cater to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free diet options to choose from! I had the vegetable Dosa. I'm obcessed. The prices were reseasonable too! N the service was excellent.

Krystal Watson

I enjoyed the food and service was good. Food came out quickly for a busy Saturday night. I am disappointed that restaurants take advantage of people with Celiac disease. I understand that gluten free food cost more however typically gluten free options remove items to make it gluten free so I feel like this should balance the cost out. Also, if you tell customers they can sub something then the cost to do so should be advised before the customer orders. They were going to charge me $3.75 for a ceaser salad without croutons and $2.75 for gluten free bun. I will say the gluten free bun is really good. At the end the manager did remove the upgraded cost which I appreciated however I probably will not be back as the cost to be able to eat gluten free is excessive.

I have visited Kelowna twice in the past year and I was lucky enough to find Sunny's on the first trip. Let me start by saying I had a perfectly good breakfast being served at my hotel and I opted to skip that 3 of the 5 days I was recently there and go to Sunny's. The hollandaise sauce is next level. The right amount of tart acid to cut through the fat of the sauce. And its super light and airy. I tried all 4 of the eggs benny combos and they were great. The vegetarian option was the standout for me even though I am a pretty staunch meat eater. Also, if your gluten free get the Eggs benny Todd's way. Which is served on a bed of their perfectly golden brown and delicious hash browns. The staff are all friendly and work in perfect harmony with each other. Which really elevates the experience. I would recommend sitting at the counter if you can so you can see the great folks making you food and see the love they put into it. And a top tip. If you want a mimosa go after 9. BC wont allow liquor sales before then. #foundoutthehardway

There is something special about wood fire pizza. This little place has been open for 2 and a half years. It is family owned and operated. The chef has many years of experience. The menu has something for everyone including gluten free pizza crust, gluten free penne and gnocchi. They also offer vegan cheese and vegan pepperoni. I tried the Hawaiian pizza on gluten free crust. It is made in house with a mix of maize and rice flour. I was cautioned about cross contamination because it is cooked in a common oven but I had no issues. Generous toppings with a drizzle of balsamic and a coconut lime margarita to go with it. My server was just lovely. He answered every one of my questions and was very knowledgeable. Definitely will try the gnocchi next time.

Greg Nikkel

Nice atmosphere with reasonable prices and good food. Family friendly and gluten free options.

Ashley Truman

Great service! Plenty of gluten-free options

Lisa Haftner

Sarah C was amazing! Co sulted me gluten free options and amazing service!

Kayley Lyons

Great customer service. We are both gluten free, and the person making out food was very thorough and kind! The food tastes amazing as a plus. The plus was fairly clean as well

Allison Pellegrini

Decent breakfast in Kelowna. They have a ton of options. They are famous for the giant pancakes pannakoek. They make savoury and sweet ones. And they even have gluten free option. They usually seem to be understaffed and food and service can be very slow on the weekends. The staff are always super friendly. Food is usually pretty good. I do enjoy the options for sides. Cute little spot. Delicious omelettes.

Kira Schmidt

Came here for lunch and had an amazing time. They offered suggestions for gluten free meals and the service was incredible. We also had the sangria which was delicious. I would definitely come back again when I’m in the area.

Gina Schlenker

Wow, just wow. I didn't think I'd ever find a good gluten free crepe, but low and behold, Empire Crepe exists. I've tried many different crepes with all different types of batter and they all have had a gritty texture or a taste that was starkly gluten free. Not Empire Crepe. Next time I drive through Kelowna (or anywhere nearby) I will make sure that Empire Crepe is one of the stops I make!

Authentic Flavors & Outstanding Service at Dawett We had a truly memorable dining experience at Dawett. The food was exceptional—rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was delicious, from the paneer pakora to the chole batura, and the chicken korma with the jeera rice, and the salty lassi was perfectly refreshing. A special shout-out to our server, Mandeep, who made the experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive, kind, and knowledgeable about the menu—offering great recommendations especially as one of us was celiac, and checking in at just the right times. Whether you're new to Indian cuisine or a long-time lover of it, Dawett is a must-visit in Kelowna. We’ll definitely be back!

Such a cool spot! Eclectic decor, super nice staff, lots of vegan and gluten-free options. The food is soooo good, decent portions too.

We enjoyed dinner at Basil and Mint a few nights ago. The restaurant has a lovely outdoor setting and is a well decorated and laid out dinner area inside. Comfy seats and great ambience. The wine list was great, lots of BC wines 🙂 and the menu is very Gluten Friendly ✅ We had the beet salad and the soup which was a carrot ginger, both very good. Soup was exceptional actually! The sourdough garlic bread was really good. Mains were the prawns and lamb rack special. Again exceptional flavours and presentation. One lamb was under cooked to specification but our server was back checking on things promptly so back to the kitchen for some more cooking right away. Wonderful Tiramisu and Creme Brûlée to top it all off! Daisy was our server. She was excellent, friendly, attentive and efficient. We had a 5 ⭐️ experience. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and come back when traveling here again.

Haven't had anything bad from here yet, unfortunately, only giving 3 stars as they offered gluten free bun options for some of their sandwiches which is what made them a go-to for myself, and made them stand out from others in regards to food, now they abruptly do not offer this option any longer and figure that the few, mediocre gluten free snacks that are available are an appropriate alternative.

Monique Saebels

I was happy to order a gluten free bun for my burger and pay $2 extra but they didn't have any so wrapped mine in a piece of lettuce. They charged me the$2 extra and gave me no bun and did not offer to give me my $2 back. It's not the money but the principal. Would have been good business.

Alysha L

Top notch spot! My boyfriend and I frequent Bernie’s because of their inclusive menu that accommodates my gluten + dairy allergy, but also, because of their friendly staff and overall ambiance. Tonight was an exception however, as we chose to order a dessert for takeout rather than dine-in. We were pleasantly surprised when we were given our dessert (within less than 10 minutes of ordering, I’ll add) on the house - courtesy of one of the managers, Logan! My boyfriend and I both work in the industry and understand how tough the slow season can be for both the business owners and their service staff; so, a gesture as kind as this holds even more weight than usual. BIG thank you to your lovely manager, Logan! And we will be back soon!
