Top 50 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Central Vancouver

Lily Kane

100% GF Lots of options Staff really nice

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.

anthony dallazanna

gluten friendly options and can accommodate celiac

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.

Lindsay O'Grady

Gluten-Free pancakes with many options for toppings. Nice renovated atmosphere and friendly knowledgeable staff.

Matt Schmitt

Awesome gluten free options!

Анна Нікіфорова

That is a very nice place, with a lot of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. I got the drink on the house and it was delicious and refreshing lemonade. Didn’t get the chance to ask a servers name, but he was delightful and very friendly. The food was well seasoned and really tasty. I also asked about the weight of lamb to count the proteins and they provided that to me. I would rate it 6 stars if I could.

Kavita Gill-Temple

Came there to have the gluten free pizza and when I went to order (8:30) they were all out. Not sure what they can really do but it was sad as a celiac who came from out of town for the pizza (not many alternative options either)

Lindsey Johnston

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

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.

Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉

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

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!

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!

Shachar Tsafon

Best brunch in Van imo. Place is so nice, the staff inviting, the food excellent. Big portions and everything was tasty. They have a fantastic gluten free bread, which is always a plus. Totally recommend!

Funda Aytacoglu

I tried the gluten-friendly vegan dream pizza. The crust was amazing, and vegan pizza is so delicious! The place has a very chill atmosphere. Since I have gluten sensitivity, I often have trouble finding proper places with good-tasting options. Ignite is one of the best places you can choose in Vancouver if you're looking for gluten-friendly pizza.

Shilpa Parveen

They have REAAALLY good Vegan and Gluten Friendly donuts! 😭🫶🏻I’m so glad.

Nikita Crane

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

chloe kf

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

Shachar Tsafon

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

Jemma Lee

Had the BLT bagel it was stacked with bacon and great value, DELICIOUS! Loved the mayo/sauces and guac it had on it! Espresso drinks have minimal sweetness which is nice. Quite impressed with the food and drink I enjoyed here today. Also loved the gluten free options. The service was wonderful. Looking forward to summer mornings on the patio with my dogs. Will definitely be back again and again!

SYDNEY HOLMES

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

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!

T AR

Bright and busy. Great food. Fantastic coffee. Street side tables perfect for people watching Gluten free waffles!

Emily Firth

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

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.

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!

Stephanie Brown

Good place! Has gluten free options. Bread was quite dry. I got the express burrata and the eggplant Parmesan with gluten free penne. Waitress made sure to check with chef and made good suggestions.

Meghan Houlihan

Our server was amazing and food was to die for - gluten free or not, best pasta and selection in the area! Would HIGHLY recommend :-) Thank you Trevor for hooking us up!

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.

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.

Lily Kane

GF pasta available for all there sauces Was really yummy and very big portions staff was helpful and understood about gluten free Didn’t feel any issues after eating here

Ashley Alexis

Great spot for breakfast. Portions are massive! The food was good and Susan’s service was excellent! One thing to note is there are no gluten free hashbrowns or potatoes. Sad times for me.

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 :-)

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.

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!

Sukhsimar Dhaliwal

This place is a must visit. Amazing customer service, delicious food with gluten free and vegan options. They have something for everyone. We tried the french toast, tapioca wrap and pancakes. The drinks were amazing too.

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.

Colleen Campbell

Great spot and cute casual vibe ! Perfect for someone with celiac disease! They are good with gluten free and cross contamination. Best late night bites for after clubbing or drinks ❤️

Zac Daniels

Purchased 3 meals, all three meals were absolutely fantastic! One was also gluten free and cannot fault its price and quantity. The service by a young male was terrific! Very well spoken and delivered an amazing service on phone and in person! Whilst waiting on meals, drinks were delivered without even asking and was very polite throughout the whole process. Also credits to the chef and the team, would definitely go back in a heartbeat! First meal in Vancouver coming over from Australia and was absolutely mouth watering!

Shauna Hunze

Delicious food, good portion sizes, and great service. Gluten free options as well! I highly recommend 'the mess' with no sausage (double one of the other meats) if you can't have gluten.

Bronson Fulsom

Delicious food and very accommodating for a celiac fellow like myself!

Nona Isenhart

Best coffee I have had in Vancouver so far, also tasty baked goods (including gluten-free treats!)

Olivia Sztanga

Food, service, ambiance were all amazing. Accommodated gluten free!

Shahdad Samimi

Great Smoked Salmon Benedict for brunch. The coffee wasn't the best but they were able to accommodate gluten-free options. Substitute bread for more potatoes but they can't guarantee cross contamination it seemed like so if you are severely celiac just consider that.

Midori Telles-Langdon

Best Thai in the city, and celiac safe gluten free items. Try the paneng curry!

Janjan

Very bright and cheerful neighborhood spot. Lots of goodies , gluten free too...

Billy Muir

Many gluten-free options available and the smoothies are satisfying.
