Top 6 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Beaconsfield Village, Toronto

gluten free beware! I was waiting to write this review until I tried the pizza for a second time but I feel like I have to say something because the gluten-free crust has made me so sick twice now. There must be a ton of cross-contamination going on. I called the restaurant to confirm that it was gluten-free because it's listed as "gluten friendly" on all of the apps with zero explanation, which is a super weird thing to do to people who have food allergies . I have celiac and I know I'm assuming a risk when I order a pizza from a regular restaurant, but I haven't had a single issue in years. This pizza has made me so ill that I have been throwing up after both times. The only thing I can think of is that the crust isn't actually gluten-free. I'm always OK with restaurants that prepare gluten items, this isn't a problem I ever have at other restaurants and I have never had a reaction from a pizza restaurant , so something is suspicious here. my violent vomiting honestly makes me wonder if they're rolling the crust in a pile of flour. I know that or it's just one employee who doesn't give a shit because I've ordered at the same time on the same day for two weeks .Do not order this if you are gluten sensitive, or you have celiac because you will be paying for it the next day.

Such tasty foods!! and really good value for money - portions were great for the price which was a nice change for Toronto. Knowing the menu changes regularly I can’t wait to go back. Gluten free - almost everything was gluten free and if it wasn’t could be made gluten free.

Gluten-Free Options: yes Cross Contamination: low Halal/ Kosher Options: No Vegan Option: yes Vegetarian Options: Yes Nut Free Options: Yes First Impression: Cute spot for a lunch date. Favourite: Peanut Satay. Critiques: I went to Mandy’s in Montreal and was pleasantly surprised to find out there was a location in Toronto when I moved. We I went in I was a little disappointed to see they did not have some of the same menu options and they did not serve their smoothies in winter. Bonus: Many healthy options that leave you full. In addition, the staff at this location is very very friendly. Take Away: If I am in the area I may drop by again if I am craving a salad. Follow on tiktok: @eatwithbuns

Had the best time. My gluten and dairy free allergies were accommodated. Amazing food and service. Great place to celebrate a birthday.

Cute little restaurant in the heart of Ossington area. The vibe and atmosphere transfers you somewhere in the Mediterranean. Menu variety is good, with both veg and gluten free options. We got club sandwich and shakshuka for brunch, and the first was a top notch with perfectly crisp fries. As for shakshuka, it was okay. As for me too many tomatoes and too sour and too crisp baguette, in my opinion something more sweet and soft would suit better (pita or chiabatta). Overall, recommend for a cute lunch or dinner👍🏼

This place has a fabulous vibe right from the get go! Decor is rustic & eclectic, & there's much to catch your eye....like trees! The menu has pasta (no gf) & pizza (gf/vegan options), accompanied by lots of drink selections. We ordered 1 gluten free pizza, 1 gluten/dairy free pizza, & one regular pizza. I have a load of allergies & the server - Ceci - was very accommodating & knowledgeable about what the kitchen could do for me. We were super impressed! All the pizzas were amazing (like the best gf pizza in the city imho) & my husband polished off the whole regular pizza himself it was so good! We can't say enough about Ceci (& Mark) as they really took good care of us! We highly recommend Bar Poet, especially for the pizza & beer special!! Can't wait to go again! PS - we were able to get a photo with no one in it bc we came in right at open on a mega snowy Monday!
