Top 41 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Kitsilano, Vancouver

Wonderful food and service. They accommodated our son's peanut and tree nut allergies with ease and were so kind about it, which doesn't always happen. Such a cute vibe and location. Would come again and recommend especially to allergy families (also very gluten friendly)!

Andrea Schartner

Amazing food, amazing service, beautiful restaurant. And basically everything here is gluten free!! This is definitely a new favourite spot. Thank you!

Lauren Shields

99% of the menu is gluten free. Great and safe spot if you're celiac.

Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating. Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not. Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊

Delicious vegetarian menu including several signature concoctions and several dishes which are also gluten free, or vegan or vegan option. Every food dish is healthy here. At least everything here is served with healthy intent. I only say this because they do serve beer and wine also.

Probably my favourite ice cream place in Vancouver. Try to get there a couple times per summer. They have seasonal flavours that are always interesting. Had the easter egg on this last time and loved it. They list gluten and vegan friendly options and are very accommodating.

This place was great! As someone with celiac disease, it was so nice to know everything was 100% gluten free, and my non celiac fiance loved the bowl he got too. I had the regular size porchetta with honey mustard, rice pilaf and garden salad and it was delicious and the perfect portion. Will 100% go back next time I am in the city! But do note, there is no bathroom so make sure to not wait until you get to the restaurant like I did, assuming there would be one lol.

Madison

I love the work out classes, and LOVE that they have so many vegan and gluten free pastries.

Really friendly service. Great atmosphere. Great location. Great gluten free options. Good vegetarian food. It is on the pricey side- that would be my only negative. Think Steak prices for a mushroom dish. I would go again.

Alya Govorchin

This place is delish and they have gluten free options including roti. The staff are really nice..solid and affordable lunch special as well!

Darren L

A great breakfast or brunch spot with a lot of Americana and Canadiana on every inch of the walls! I really enjoy their Eggs Rancheros or Eggs Mexicana. Try their in-house hot sauce with your food (which you can also buy). For you gluten free people, you can sub in gluten free toast for an extra charge and it's actually better than the regular toast!

Cecile Dubois-Herry

Nicer service going this time than a few years ago on the regular as a neighbor! Bathroom was cleaner and atmosphere is still charming. Lots of latte choices, beetroot, chai & matcha all well done and great gluten-free cakes too, especially the red velvet cookie.

Yurii Chukhlatyi

Gluten free base pizza felt like it was served on a cracker. Other than that it’s a very lovely place with good atmosphere.

Mark Duff

Great Canadian restaurant. Fabulous and friendly service. Absolutely wonderful waiter. Great meal served with great courtesy, no better place. Gluten friendly too.

Fateh-Karan Chohan

They have amazing veggie options and gluten free options! Also their drinks are really good and reasonably priced. Sometimes the environment can be a bit overwhelming and it’s a bit dark so grabbing attention of waiter can be an issue. But the service is good

JESSICA

We sat at the chef’s table and ordered the chef’s tasting menu and it was a delight! Perfect amount for 2 people, it’s a wonderful journey through some of the best dishes they have to offer. Everything is vegan, and can be made gluten free upon request. Lovely staff, beautiful place, and you pay for what you get for and you wanna get on this Folke train, trust me!

Taliesin River

Got a sandwich here for lunch. Food was great, decor and atmosphere are nice if a bit quirky. They offer gluten-free bread for sandwiches which I enjoyed! Both times I visited there was no one at the counter when I arrived which was a bit awkward. The second time I waited for a while and then ended up leaving because no one arrived.

Tiffany Low

The staff at W. BROADWAY consistently screw up orders that endanger people with celiac health allergies. What’s the point of offering gluten free buns when almost every single time we order gluten free, we almost always get buns with gluten that make my partner unwell?! This is a MAJOR health concern for someone who is seriously celiac and accidentally eats gluten due to Tera staff’s carelessness. Not only can they not eat the food, but we just wasted a good amount of money only for them to go hungry. Not only that, but when we walked in to pick up our order tonight, the person behind the counter was on her phone and didn’t even turn around until I cleared my throat. Two stars for good menu, minus two stars for consistently screwing up the gluten-free orders, minus one star for slow and poor service.

Nicole C

Delicious Thai with plenty of celiac friendly GF options. I found my Pad Thai BKK (I think I got it right, but don't quote me) was flavourful and the portion was huge for the price. The dine-in experience was cozy and the staff were friendly and engaging. It was worth the drive!

Amy Grenier

Outstanding on all accounts!!! Went out of their way to to find us a table. Food was sooo goood!!! And so many legitimate gluten free options. 🤩😋 Our waitress Hanna was so lovely and knowledgeable, best vibes ever all around. Would definitely Recommend 😍

Esther MacKenzie

I needed a gluten free option in a pinch and the staff was very accommodating to my dietary restrictions. They have gluten free buns with they toasted on the grill, not in the toaster, to avoid cross contamination. The frier at this location isn’t gluten free.

Sage Loughin

Thank you Lily! I recently had to go gluten free for medical issues. Even the cross contamination from products processed in the same factory as wheat might make me sick. So I've gotten paranoid about food I haven't prepared myself. And have become one of those customers that asks annoyingly in-depth questions about food and drink preparation (do you know how stupid it feels to have to ask about gluten in beverages because even a couple droplets from splashed beer could make me sick? What kind of lunatic asks if margaritas are gluten free? Me. That's who). Lily was kind about answering my questions and reassured me that the kitchen takes medical dietary issues seriously. She was really attentive despite her full section and never seemed to be in a rush, giving every table the same amicable service. Sometimes you can see when someone is giving great service but is emotionally checked out deep down (I can't blame them. I've bartended), but Lily genuinely felt like she cared about each of the people in her section. The food came out in perfectly reasonable time considering we were there during dinner rush and it was delicious! I can tell within 10-15 minutes if I'm going to be sick and I'm pleased to say that not only was there no problem with the food, but I'm eating my leftovers now. So much for having lunch tomorrow lol I've been several times before I got sick and had to cut out gluten and the enchiladas were my go to. I'm SO grateful I can still enjoy them. Only thing that wasn't perfect was the noise level. I can't blame them. It's a large, popular restaurant. So we sat on the patio where it was quieter and we could dance in our chairs to the music.

Delicious food, great service, interesting atmosphere and fantastic prices. I had the gluten free BLT 🥪 it came with fries and salad for under $16, it was such a good portion that I had two meals out of it!

Dr.Tanya Gee

wonderful authentic indian cuisine! they have gluten free / dairy free options as well! EXCELLENT Service by : RAM! we will definitely be coming back!

Eoin Reilly

Nice atmosphere and location. But my partner is coeliac. And they were not very accommodating. When ordering food, said they could meet allergy requirements. But then when food was being served, they informed half of the dish was not gluten free. And substitutes were inadequate. Was still charged full price and extra for gluten free bread with no apology from staff, which would have been nice. So if coeliac, would not currently recommend until further improvements are implemented.

Nicola Watson

Lots of gluten free choices and beautiful food

Jack Krom

Everything is made in house … gluten free pastas and crackers available . The wines were amazing ! The mushroom risotto was perfectly cooked , the rigatoni Bolognese was superb … this place reminded me of the old pronto on Cambie street , but better ! Will definitely be going back

Nayeli Almaraz

Delicious gluten free options and best coffee ever!! A must at Kitsilano!

Enki Nagano

Buenísimo!!! A gem in Kitsilano!!! Authentic and tasteful Mexican food, with a great service! Don't expect to find TexMex here, dishes are not spicy so they are friendly for everyone. They have gluten free and vegan options!!

Django

My daughter is super sensitive to cheese and gluten so we tend to have a hard time going out to eat. We came along this spot walking down to the fireworks and wow let me tell you they really make people feel at home. From the moment we walked in they were so sweet to the kids and dealt with all our allergies perfectly. Washed all the utensils for my daughter’s allergy. Will be recommending to all my family and friends. Also have super late hours for a shop in kits so another plus to the great food and service

Alli Bearinger

Came here for my first time today and was impressed by all the gluten free options and the pineapple infused water! It's in a great spot and I love th atmosphere! I'll be back!!

A Blair Brienza

Gluten free crust is also potato free, which means no fillers, just right. And their original crust reminds me of Pauly Gee's in Greenpoint ... if ya know, ya know. Folks working are nice. What's not to love?

Ruxandra Popescu

Perfect spot for a quick no-fuss meal; friendly staff, celiac-friendly menu and cosy vibes The food itself is super tasty, a bit too much on the sweet side especially the Thai iced tea and even the pad thai, but overall generous portions, nice flavours and textures And no background music which is rare and amazing 💗

As a person that is intolerant to gluten, this place is absolutely amazing for gluten free pub eats! Most, if not all, of their breaded food is gluten free. I absolutely love their mushroom calamari, and their wings. The only place I can get decent pub food without having to compromise what I'm actually craving! Highly, highly recommend to my gluten intolerant friends out there. They have a very good gluten free beer as well! The best thing of all is that they don't charge a premium for subbing a gluten free bun! I really, truly appreciate this, having paid many extra dollars for tiny dry buns and slices of bread at restaurants and cafes. The service is always super friendly, food comes at a good pace, and the prices are reasonable! The atmosphere both inside and on the patio is really nice as well. Clean, simple, and stylish without being pretentious or cold-feeling. Great pub, highly recommend.

Fredrik Oerling

Honestly, this place falls short of expectations. Despite claiming to offer gluten-free options on their online menu, there were none available. It's a charming spot, but the service lacks expertise, and the food doesn't scream authenticity. The menu is disappointingly limited. For an authentic experience, your best bet is to venture to Richmond instead.

Hailey Brontide

DON’T EAT HERE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES OF ANY KIND!!! Nor the kitchen or the staff where educated with what celiac is…. I went in and asked if their lamb burger was gluten free and expressed that I am celiac… The wait staff said yes absolutely. So we sat down, ordered drinks, and were about to order. I didn’t see really any gluten free options on their menu. So I asked the server to just double check with the kitchen that the patty is gluten free and celiac friendly. When that came back they said yup it’s totally fine for me to eat just has the smallest bit of bread crumbs in it to hold it together but that I should be fine… Thank goodness I asked a third time. Being celiac and having allergies is no laughing matter. Ignorance can kill someone in these situations or affect them for weeks on in. That night I got to watch my partner eat and I got nothing because they said they have nothing to offer me. I cannot believe how un-accommodating they where in todays day and age of how common allergies like this are. We were on our way to catch a flight and did not have time to leave and go else wear because the staff was slow to get to us. I would NOT recommend coming here if you have any allergies. They will not be taken seriously or accommodated.

Benjamin Smus

The food was amazing and worth the price. They were able to accommodate gluten free pretty well- laid out the toppings that contained gluten for my friends to eat. My only gripe was that tea did not get refills (it was good) after ordering but that’s not a big deal.

ابوكمال البرغشي

Great view, great service, great food with gluten free options.

lauren brown

Best neighborhood restaurant with the best gluten free burger

Morgan Green

Amazing restaurant with amazing staff. The food is incredible, and they were extremely accommodating as someone with celiac. Michael, our server, was fantastic and the other staff were extremely attentive. Will definitely be returning with friends and family.
