Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Alberta

This place is awesome! Been here a few times now and everything holds up. Portions are huge. Even the tea they serve you isn't in tiny cups and a kettle; I got 3 full cups out of it. Their menu is 95% gluten free, I've taken my celiac girlfriend here twice and she loves it! Only thing is their water is not free, it comes in cans and is 75cents but I was happy with my tea. Love coming here!

As someone who has to eat dairy and gluten free, it is hard to find a great meal in a restaurant that isn't some sort of compromise of an existing menue item. Not here! Most of the meals are gluten and dairy free without any compromise in flavor! In fact, everything we ate was delicious and well priced. Service was also amazing. It is a place I will come back to frequently in my stay here. Thank you Nourish!

Super nice little cafe. Lots of choice: bowl, wrap... Vegan/gluten-free option. Good portion! To visit during your stay in Canmore.

Sara Piepgrass

The staff are great! The food is always delicious and gluten free!! Love it.

Kathy Slater

Finally a restaurant with a separate gluten free menu. I had the best gluten free pancakes, light and fluffy...you could not tell the difference. My husband had the poutine with pulled pork and it was super flavourful. Really good service and cool atmosphere...I highly recommend!

We tried this place for the first time and it was excellent. I am celiac so they were able to ensure my safety while maintaining the incredible quality! We will definitely be back

Jenna Wenkoff

Their house made gluten free pizza dough is absolutely amazing! And they have a good understanding of cross contamination for celiacs

Danielle Wilkin

Amazing restaurant with great wait staff! Highly recommend to everyone! So many gluten free options on the menu! Felt very safe ordering gluten free here. Definitely recommend the GF Calamari and the blacked salmon tacos! Will definitely be back!

Great food. Good gluten free options that were clearly labelled on the menu.

We went out for dinner before a concert and I ordered their pesto rosso pasta. I have a gluten and dairy allergy and the waiter was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to this. On my first bite I bit into a rock. Thankfully I didn't chip a tooth. The waiter apologized and ordered new food for me. Which was great, but I was disappointed in their actions after. They gave me 50% off my pasta dish and no manager came to speak to me. I felt like this incident could have been worse and the fact that no manager came to apologize wasn't the best customer service.

Damien Davoodi

Food was okay at best. They up charge gluten free option. The servers stand RIGHT behind/next to you when you pay bill. Stare you down to pick 18-20-25% tip option. Would definitely not go back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Path Plant Based Metaphysical Café is truly a treasure in every sense of the word. Their food is always delicious, but what sets them apart is the incredible care and thoughtfulness they show toward their customers. Recently, I asked if they could make their gluten-free nuts and bolts mix—a seasonal favorite of mine—and they joyfully agreed, even though they no longer focus exclusively on gluten-free offerings. When I picked it up, they mentioned they had trouble sourcing some ingredients and had to improvise, but they still put so much love into making it. They even gifted it to me, which was such an unexpected and heartwarming gesture. This kindness turned my entire day around. It reminded me how special this café is, not just for their food (which is amazing—I even got to enjoy one of their gluten-free pretzels, my favorite!), but for the heart they pour into everything they do. If you’re looking for a place with tasty plant-based treats and a team of people who genuinely care, The Path is the place to be. Thank you for always going the extra mile and for being such a blessing to your community!

Jessica Speed

Pros: - Most of the menu can be made gluten free - JFK is a really tasty - We had a great server - Cool wall graffiti, lots to look at Cons: - Ramen made me feel sick had the regular Tonkotsu - Two employees or ex employees were super drunk yelling at the bar. The restaurant was empty so it was a little obnoxious - The restaurant smells like spray paint - The employees had all their stuff thrown onto a table, looked messy

Amanda Kalliainen Smith

Incredibly tasty food. We loved the rotisserie chicken pizza with gluten free crust. The Brussels sprouts were also great. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

H Marie

Gluten free pizza was delish, service was great!

Hannah

The gluten free chicken fingers and truffle fries are 🥰

Kim Nguyen

Wheat cheese scone is moist and addictive. Gluten/Vegan free donuts are tasty. Everything is baked fresh daily. Lots of comfy seating. Nice, clean and bright with big window view of whyte ave.

Alexei Mandziak

Simply a great meal made even better by a stellar serving experience from Olly. She was running the entire front when we got there and did an amazing job of getting our orders and food in a timely manner while still taking care of all the tables! My Rundle Mountain Breakfast was amazing value, and my celiac partner had the Gluten Free French Toast and says it was incredible too. Highly recommend coming here for brunch if you're in Banff!

Great food! Been here twice now & I really enjoy it. Great gluten free options too! If you’re hungry & enjoy good bbq this is the place!

We visited this restaurant after hearing great reviews from the gluten-free community. Arriving late in the evening, we seemed to have missed the dinner rush as no other tables arrived. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the fish and chips, while my friends had the beef dip. The wait for our food felt long, though it was unclear if this was due to extra precautions for my allergies, as nothing was communicated. The food looked good, but the flavours fell short. The beef dip was well-received, but both the fries and fried fish lacked seasoning. The coleslaw was overly creamy and bland, though the tartar sauce was great. One piece of my fish tasted fine, while the other was fishy. Additionally, my lemon wedge arrived with the sticker still attached, suggesting a lapse in quality control. On the positive side, the cocktails were excellent. Overall, while I appreciate the restaurant’s commitment to allergy safety, the slow food service and lack of flavour left me undecided on whether I’d return.

The club house was one of the best I've tasted!! My grandson liked his meal so much he ordered a second as a take out. My daughter loved the gluten free bun she had. The service was exceptional! We are definitely adding this place to our regular stops as we pass by!

Jessica Young

Great service, Greg was amazing the entire evening and informed me about the gluten free options. They are great with gluten free (and dairy free by the looks of it). Food was delicious!

Veronica Penny

When my wife and I want a warm dog in the shoulder season, Wieners of Waterton is here for us. Great food and beverages, good choices for gluten-free. For both of our visits, Matt has provided jovial conversation and a welcoming experience. The best and most affordable place in town, especially in the off season!

Rheannon Demeter

A true jem!! So glad to have tried this place after a visit to Jasper - Great food, nice staff, and amazing outdoor patio! Was happily surprised to find that they also have tasty gluten free options!

Stephen Dodd

Very yum. Even non vegans will like it. Lots of gluten free options

Michael James

My wife and I were in Hinton on a camping trip and I wanted to try this place as I love local coffee shops. We walked in and were greeted by the two gentleman working that day. The barista was very helpful in making suggestions and I settled on a caramel macchiato and a date slice. I must mention that he was kind enough to tell me that a traditional macchiato was more of an espresso shot so that I wouldn't possibly be disappointed. We sat for awhile and enjoyed the coffee and the date slice that was made fresh was also delicious. I also noticed that they make breakfast and lunch items and cater to gluten free and other dietary needs. So if you're in Hinton and want to try some good local coffee with good conversation and a very friendly atmosphere please try The Old Grind. Looking forward to our next visit. 🙂☕️

Andrew Braun

Great gluten free options and we thought the portions were great. Sever was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. And honestly the most tender Indian meat we've ever had, very impressed by the chef.

Chris Kennedy

Amazing poutine! Attended with a friend from Australia and we were both blown away. We had the Notorious PIG and the Cluster Buck. Wife had a Cluster Buck with vegan cheese and gluten free gravy. Staff was very accommodating to her allergies without issue! Would highly recommend!

Monica Costa

Hands down without a doubt everyone should visit Lovely. Not only are the flavors for every taste, age, everything is Gluten Free and nut free, everything!!!! 100/10 Dessert before dinner, desert anytime, Lovely Ice Cream you are da bestest!

Tom Wilk

Great atmosphere and food. Gluten free menu is amazing for those who need it.

Lesley White

After roaming the area in search of a gluten-free late dinner, we googled and found this restaurant suggestion. We started with a ceasar salad (9.5/10, the capers were a perfect, salty touch) and a pomodoro fromagio gluten-free pizza. The mozzarella is gooey and thick, the tomato sauce really balanced tangy and sweet with basil, the crust offered a chewy dough and crispy edge. 9/10

Matt McQueen

Unbelievably good bbq! This platter had brisket, rib ends, chicken, sausage, and side ribs, along with fries, coleslaw, and cornbread. So many gluten free options too! Everything on this platter is gluten free, even the gravy and the cornbread!

Harold Burgess

The coffee was good, we had the pumpkin spice latte they where not overly sweet which is good. We shared a coffee crisp Cheese cake it was good. They have gluten free items which is nice to see. The cheese cake was not gluten-free. I was a little disappointed with the atmosphere as the reviews state an old heritage rail house, but found it not much difference to sitting in other coffee places. I would definitely go here again.

Been many times the absolute best tacos

Greg Donnelly

Just fabulous food. Gluten free, super tasty & innovative! So happy you’re in Canmore.

Amanda Keeton

Excellent gluten free crust!

Em M

I picked up a gluten free crust pizza (paying an additional $5 for it) and was disappointed. The toppings were minimal and the pizza luke warm. The crust was slightly more than a cracker. I have had much better GF pizza with a considerably lower purchase price.

P Samson

This place has an amazing selection of options for people with dietary restrictions. Great gluten free crust too.

reyanne janvier

Amy was an absolute delight! Very attentive and diligent with making sure my food was celiac friendly!!!

Ritu Saroy

Amazing food , especially i am vegan, I had the option for vegan cheese and also they have gluten free menu. I was thrilled with my visit at this restaurant. Service was outstanding. My food only cost me 35$, i found it very affordable for the families. Now i saw they added bunch of new pizzas . I would love to try those as well. I had awesome experience.

Steve E

Everything great. But if you are celiac, you need to determine if the risk is worth it. I got contaminated but maybe not everyone is as sensitive as myself. Tasted great, but for me, I cannot tolerate any gluten.

mohamed rabi

Tried the gluten free Margherita, i really enjoyed. It was really wonderfull, polite server and amazing ambience.

Veronique Beaudoin

Went there on a first date last year and again as we were both getting hangry. The difference in the 2 visits is I've become gluten sensitive so we weren't sure how or what I could eat. But all thr pizzas and Flatbread had a gf option which was great. We got the smoked Mozzarella wrapped and Prosciutto which was great! Then this spicy Italian sausage pizza on the gf crust and it was delicious. With limited places and choices I will be going back!

Aimee Newton

Love this place! Patio is dog friendly! Lots of menu choices for gluten free, dairy free and the food is good!

Maria Williston

Dined here on the weekend, I have mixed feelings about our experience. First, I want to say our servers were very polite and attentive, did everything right, so no issues there. The atmosphere was also really great; we are locals to the area and this was our first time visiting Banff Springs. Before booking our reservation, I communicated with staff to ensure I would be able to order from the Castello menu, as I cannot have gluten, dairy, or raw tomato. Staff assured me that they took note of my dietary restrictions and that they would be able to accommodate me - awesome, we were really looking forward to our meal. Fast forward, I was choosing my dish, and asked if the risotto could be made dairy free - the kind waitress checked with the kitchen and confirmed that yes, no dairy would be added, but that pistachio oil could be used as a substitute to not lose the creaminess of the dish; so that's what I went with as my safe option. I received the plate and confirmed with the server "it's gluten and dairy free right?" to which he replied "yes, all of the above" (I've learned to always double check, because mistakes happen). Anyway, let me tell you, this risotto tasted incredible.. we were so hungry after quite a busy day, and it was really hitting the spot - so much flavour, very creamy and cooked just right - wonderful, until I realised there was something on top that looked like a shaved cheese. We immediately got the attention of the waitress, and asked her if it was dairy free, and if that was cheese on top. She looked at it, and said she wasn't sure, that it shouldn't be cheese because she told the kitchen about my allergies, but that she would check. The chef came out a few moments later and when he asked me how it was, I told him it was delicious, but that I was concerned that the dish contained dairy. He proceeded to tell me that the dish was dairy free, and that the cheese on top was a certain kind of "sheep cheese, not cow cheese", and therefore safe for me to eat because there is no lactose or anything dairy in it. I tried to explain to him that I can't have any kind of dairy - dairy is not just from cow... if it's made from any sort of animal milk, it is dairy and I expected a chef, especially at a fine dining restaurant of all places, to know this information, especially if the menu claims to have gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options as this one did. The chef didn't seem to pleased with what I was telling him, but he did offer to remake my dish or suggested "eat it and find out that maybe sheep cheese is something you can have" after I told him I had eaten goat cheese before and not reacted as badly as I do with cow dairy products - feeling a little awkward at this point and not wanting to wait another half hour for a new dish while my partner enjoyed his meal, I did turn down his offer to remake the dish, so that's on me, I understand that. I ended up scraping the visible cheese off the top and gave it to my boyfriend to eat, but am now unfortunately experiencing a breakout because of it (thankful my allergy is not a severe one). I'm really not one to complain, but after thinking about this, I felt the need to say something as allergies should be taken seriously - what if somebody with a more severe reaction was to experience the same service I did. Mistakes happen, that's understandable, but to not really understand what "dairy" means when working at a high-class restaurant is what I don't get. The fact that I confirmed my allergies on the phone, then upon first interaction with staff after being seated, again when inquiring about the specific dish, and finally when it arrived at the table, and I still got served dairy, is just sad. For the price we paid to dine here, I guess we had higher expectations. 3/5 because I want to at least credit the waitress, server, and bartender for their job well done. I'm not sure if we will give the restaurants here another chance out of fear of a similar experience. Waldhaus seems to have more allergy-friendly options so maybe will try in the future.

Drove all the way from Calgary. Got amazing service. Love the amount of dairy free choices and to my surprise gluten friendly cones. Great taste and amazing cones! Will definitely be going back

Last evening, my husband and I visited Blowers and Grafton for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Once we were seated, we had a wonderful experience, and we were well taken care of from start to finish. I have several dietary restrictions, but our server Brooke, assured us that this would not be an issue. I am a very sensitive celiac, and was a little nervous to eat out, but Brooke assured me that she would ensure the kitchen took extra precautions, and that it would not be an issue. I never like to cause any problems, and Brooke was able to tell this, as she was very kind, and told me that I was causing no trouble at all, and that she was happy to serve us. Brooke was also very knowledgeable about the menu, as she mentioned she has East Coast roots, and she recommended that I try the gluten free garlic fingers. My husband tried the Fish and Chips, which was also recommended by our server, and he absolutely adored it. For dessert, my husband tried the Bonfire Smores, and I think he would've eaten the plate too. Overall we had a wonderful experience at this establishment, many thanks to our wonderful server.
