Had a lovely pizza and Choc brownie, highly recommend it, but what made the place so memorable was the server Sienna who was awesome and the young chef who took the time to ensure we enjoyed our meal. The only downside was that the gluten free pizza crust my buddy had was not so good but edible.
A hidden gem with inventive plant-based dishes, a chic vibe, and seasonal creations that promise a delightful culinary experience.

No MSG No Garlic Foodie
We decided to visit Victoria after finding several restaurants offering vegan food. Since Be Love is dedicated vegan and also gluten free, it was my first choice. However, there wasn't that many items on the menu to my taste, but since they promise seasonal items, I had hoped that there would be some pleasant surprises. The rest of my party decided to order organic red and white wines by the glass. I chose Earthblood Tonic juice made with carrot, beet, celery, kale and ginger. It was very refreshing and looked stunning. The Mac Bowl appealed to me because it claimed to have braising greens, seasonal vegetable, and broccoli. I was warned that the sauce contains garlic, but I took a chance hoping that it would be black garlic rather than fresh garlic. Fortunately, the garlic was hardly noticeable and I was not affected. It was a very rich dish and I loved the creamy taste of the sauce. The roasted hazel nuts were strange and tasted as though the vegetables still had soil/sand/grit. I was disappointed with the scant amount of greens and vegetables, and if I had known, I might have asked for extra vegetables. And of course, I could not finish it the macaroni. If it wasn't for the 'gritty texture' I would have rated this four stars. My friends ordered the daily special gluten free ravioli with nettle. They all loved it. We also shared a platter with flatbread, cashew cream cheese, apple & beet chutney. I was only able to have one item because the rest were heavy with garlic.

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.

Came here for our anniversary dinner, as a celiac I usually avoid eating out Italian as the pasta substitute js subpar, that was not the case here. The best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had and most appies and all deserts were gluten free. My gluten eating husband also said it was the best pasta he’s ever had. Was nice to have a desert option that was not a flourless chocolate cake, highly recommend the olive oil cake! The service was really good and they were very knowledgeable about celiac. Would highly recommend!
This spot boasts a vibrant atmosphere with great coffee and delicious brunch options, making it a favorite for locals in the area.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! As someone who needs gluten-free options, I was thrilled to see so many choices on the menu.
The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and accommodating. The only hiccup was the choppy radio, but when we asked if they could turn it off, they were incredibly kind and took care of it right away.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a friendly spot with excellent service!

My wife ordered gluten free, she was served gluten. She is a celiac. Unacceptable. No apology from the server or manager. The item was also left on the bill. I honestly can’t believe this is how this restaurant operates.

This place is one of the best restaurants we've been to in a while. Everything we had was fantastic: Beef tenderloin carpaccio, smoked chicken penne, pan seared miso halibut, blackened creole chicken.
My wife has celiac and they have a lot of options. The gluten free penne was probably the best GF pasta she has tried.
We also had a few cocktails and they were all well made. Earl Grey Martini was a stand out for me.
Our server was very nice and accommodating as well and service was very fast.

We had the most incredible experience at Il Covo Trattoria in Victoria for a joint celebration of Mother’s Day and my 22nd birthday, made all the more memorable thanks to our amazing server, Willis. From start to finish, Willis went above and beyond to make our evening feel special and personal.
He surprised us with a complimentary drink and a delicious birthday dessert on the house, which was such a thoughtful gesture. His charming personality, genuine compliments, and fantastic menu knowledge made us feel completely at ease and well taken care of. Every recommendation he made was spot-on — from cocktails to mains to dessert.
Not only was the service 10/10, but the food and drinks were phenomenal. The team also did an excellent job accommodating gluten-free options, which we deeply appreciated.
Willis truly elevated our celebration and gave us a night we won’t forget. Thank you for making it so special. Highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat.
Enjoy a cozy atmosphere with fresh pasta and unique twists on classics, making it perfect for family gatherings and casual dinners.

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!

This is a hidden gem in Lake Country (just outside of Kelowna). They have amazing lunch and dinner. Sicilian inspired menu. Fresh ingredients. The place smells like heaven. And the food is incredible. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The service is excellent. I’ve tried many items on the menu. But you must try the house salad with their home made dressing. It’s delicious and addicting. You can even buy the dressing to take home. The paninis come with soup or salad. One of my favs for lunch. The pasta features are always one of my favourite. Fresh made raviolis stuffed with whatever is in season. They also offer vegetarian and gluten free options. The gluten free panini bread is incredible. This is a definite must if you’re in the area or passing through. Makes a great stop if you are out wine tasting. Or even lovely place to celebrate birthday dinners or romantic night out. Worth checking out.

My family and I had a great experience. With the exception of root beer, there was something on the menu for all of us. A lot of gluten free options as well as Vegan and plant based. Good healthy and delicious options as well. And then there was the burgers that were very satisfying. Really nice restaurant. Option of sitting where it's quiet or in the lounge where there's a great social vibe going on.

Such a great setting for a restaurant and pub with a nice view. Food and service is good.
I can’t believe at this day an age in Victoria, that a restaurant that doesn’t have ANY gluten free options for sandwiches/toast/buns. Just do the standard technique of buying a bag of GF products to keep in the freezer and charge everyone an extra couple dollars for when someone needs it. A little effort goes a long way here.
Their fries leave a lot to be desired, but the broth/liquid with the Moules and Frites was DELICIOUS!

We went to riptide last week and our server didn’t know what celiac was and said the fries were gluten free but they were in the same fryer as gluten food. When I didn’t tip her because I got gluten in my meal as a celiac, she acted like a child and chucked the card machine at my friends and didn’t talk to us.

In the past 2 months, I’ve ordered the double burger with a gluten free bun twice, and I’ve been disappointed each time.. it just didn’t taste good. I wish I had more constructive criticism, and hate giving less than 4 stars. I ordered it a second time hoping it would be better, and came back because my friend loves the teriyaki rice bowl. At least the fries were decent!
I’ll update this rating if I go back and another item is more appetizing, it might be just the gluten free bun and the cheap pre-sliced cheese. Maybe the gluten bun makes it better, I know it’s hard for restaurants to cater to celiac customers and appreciate their effort.

Farty vibes. Sports bar for kids. Had the 'gluten free' pasta but if you'd heard my butt last night you'd absolutely agree that it did indeed contain gluten. It sounded like the Titanic lost in fog. At one point it startled my partner awake and he shouted "ICEBERG AHEAD!". Went with friends, they're cool, they get 5 stars out of 5.

My sisters drove from Saskatchewan for a short visit. All three of us are Celiac and after researching GF options and we decided to try Stonefire. Settling on the deck and identified ourselves as Celiac needing extra care with food handling and preparation to prevent cross contamination. My sister made it clear we'd become very sick if exposed to gluten. Our waiter said the crust was made from cauliflower and sauces were a safe option. He made a trip to the kitchen to double check pasta dish ingredients and orders were confirmed.
Margherita pizza, Grape pizza and Salmon GF pasta dish.
After consuming the meal my sister questioned if pizzas were GF [not marked as such on the receipt], the young lady gave an indifferent shrug.
Her severe reaction started before she made it back to Cranbrook. I'll spare the details but her night was spent on the bathroom floor. Second sister had a delayed reaction, waking in the night with her version of gluten poisoning.
Recovery after exposure can take days, and she lost the better part of a two day trip confined to the hotel.
The next day I phoned asking for the manager. He didn't take my call nor did he return it despite the message two patrons became ill at his restaurant. I'd hoped to discuss how this might have happened so staff could be better educated in food safety.
Total disregard and indifference!
I'll add one sister travels extensively around the globe and this is the only time she has experienced gluten poisoning. Good job Stonefire!
I hope this review alerts people about what goes on behind the scenes.

The pastas are great! If you suffer from any gluten sensitivities I would recommend the gluten free option. The reason for the 4 star is you feel a bit cramped in there due to the space. The staff are consistent.
