Top 7 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Hillcrest Village, Toronto

I ate at this restaurant when it was called Riz, and i just went under their new name. The menu is expanded and is all gluten free. It is a treat to be able to order anything and not have to ask about ingredients. As a huge bonus, they had a dessert pastry selection of items I’ve never seen available in gluten free versions. I had a chocolate eclair which was amazing.

Simply ordered a coffee and a gluten free cookie. Staff were really friendly and made you feel welcome. It was a very comfy place to sit.

I have been to Tap Works on some VERY different occasions, and it was always just what my spirit needed. When I finished work late, the smash burger was the best thing I had ever tasted. When I had a bad day, the atmosphere was a perfect blend of chill and nice. On date night, it was comforting and still felt special. I’ve only been a few times, but I’m getting to know some of the staff, who have been amazing during every single visit. And one of the best parts is that, while I’m significantly reducing my alcohol consumption, Tap Works has a variety of percentages as well as Gluten-Free and non-alcoholic beers. Do yourself a favour and visit this bar soon, and often, so it lasts a good long time. Our neighbourhood needs places like this, with real soul, and elevation without pomp.

Gluten-Free Options: Yes, but not indicated on menu. Cross Contamination: Yes, can be a risk Halal/ Kosher Options: No Vegan Option: Unsure Vegetarian Options: Yes Nut Free Options: Yea Dairy Free: Unsure First Impression: A pick up and go window. The window is decorated nicely and gives a hip vibe. Favourite: The banana soft serve and spicy mango soft serve. They were unique and not overly sweet! Critiques:The place only accepts cash! There is a convenient store near by that has an ATM. Also, there’s always a long line up so expect to wait! We were not fans of the strawberry or guava flavours. They did not give the same satisfaction as the others we enjoyed. Bonus: The neighborhood around the area is beautiful and it’s a nice to take a walk around and eat your treats. Take Away: This place has so unique flavours that are worth trying. Follow on tiktok: @eatwithbuns

delicious! It feels like grilling gluten at the entrance of a junior high school ~ Hermès fried rice is also very good

Came here as part of a group this week to celebrate a birthday and had a fantastic experience! Our group included vegetarians and people who are gluten free but everyone was able to find something on the menu they were excited to try. I’m not normally a fan of artichoke but one of our group ordered the fried artichoke app to share and it was worth ordering again. The portions were reasonable, the food was great and our server was lovely. I will definitely be back
