So nice to be able to enjoy vegan and gluten free treats without worrying. So many different flavors.

Night service and a great variety of delicious gluten-free things!

Horrendous experience. We recently heard that this restaurant could cater to those with Celiac disease. So we gave it an go today!! Everyone was excited. After asking repeatedly to confirm everything is gluten free and free from cross contamination, before/during/after, we were assured it was. My 10 year old is now violently ill. I might point out that it was 2:00pm when dined and we were the only table there. All any parent of a child with Celiac asks is that a restaurant is just honest on whether they can guarantee gluten free food and possibility of cross contamination (within reason). If you can’t, we’ll bring something with us!! The severity of the reaction my son experiences is always in proportion to the amount gluten he ingests. If it’s a slight cross contamination, it’s usually a couple trips to the toilet to vomit, bit of Tylenol then he’s good. The severity of this particular attack tells me it was direct ingestion of wheat. We’re moments away from going to the hospital. To the waitress that served us and the owner of this establishment…shame on you. I wish you were here watching my child experience the effects of your neglect. Watching your child suffer like this is heartbreaking. While I’m on it…the service was terrible too. Seeing as how we were the only table in the place, why did I have to go to the bar to tell her we were ready to order, again to order a drink, then again to ask for the bill. The Canadian guilt in me still left a 15% tip. Regret that now. Edit to this post after the fact…Owner contacted me and refunded money. Offered up apology. He did clarify that food is prepared in same kitchen so avoidance of cross contamination cannot be guaranteed. He said staff are supposed to tell the customers this. He’s committed to retraining and educating.

This is one of my favourite hidden gems in Kelowna. I don’t normally eat seafood or much fish. But this place changed that for me. The fish they bring in is so fresh and of such high quality. The batter is so thin and crispy. It’s also gluten free. The cod and halibut are my favourites. The tartar sauce is amazing. The coleslaw is one of my favs also. The service is excellent. They also serve wine and beers and cocktails. The happy hour has many great choices. A definite must try in Kelowna.

As someone with multiple dietary restrictions, I really appreciate how clear and easy to navigate Virtue Bakery is. No guessing games, everything is labeled, and the staff behind the counter genuinely understand the ingredients. It is refreshingly straightforward without ever compromising on flavour. Their offerings include all gluten-free, and a variety of dairy-free, egg-free, and low-sugar baked goods, catering to a wide range of folks. They do have nuts on-site, goodies share a display case, however whatever is labelled as nuts has nuts in it and other stuff doesn't. A rare gem for those of us with dietary restrictions! I love the df lavender brownie and df banana bread.

Paul Cooper

Super coffee and gluten free cake options

Completely separate prep area, fryer, etc. Celiac safe :) So many choices for GF dishes, and great!

Ali Crossley

Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;) the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!

Lana Fedora

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.

Nikita Crane

Lots of GF celiac safe goodies my personal fav is the turtle cheesecake. You can also buy their products at Save On Foods frozen. Such a cute little bookshop and cafe but always packed!

Karmen Johnson

Called to place a take out order. Staff was very nice and friendly. We were given a very accurate time that our food would be ready. Four of us ordered four different meals and we were all very happy, especially my daughter who cannot eat gluten. It was so nice to not have to worry about any gluten cross contamination.

Alice Trombley

Thank you for making pizza that I can actually eat that tastes amazing. Finding a gluten-free/dairy-free pizza that doesn’t taste like chemicals and sadness is a true feat. ❤️

Brenda Gibson

How lovely to find a place that is entirely gluten free!! Also vegan and sugar free. The meals were delicious, the desserts were ok. All quite pricey but I guess that's the cost of fresh and healthy.

Matt

We had a great experience at omni. Extremely safe for celiacs. Everything on the menu can be made gluten free and anything they put in their deep fryer is naturally gluten free (rice flour). Huge plus for no fryer cross contamination! They had about 4 gluten free canned beers to choose from and we loved the fried Cajun honey chicken wings. Waitresses were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We will be back!

Mariah Sobey

best tacos and all gluten free!!

Jamie Potter

We were here from Ontario, and read that they served gluten free burgers and fries (my wife and son both have Celiac Disease). They were delicious!! Best burger and fries they've had, and my other two sons and I both loved our non gluten free burgers too. We all liked everything so much we came back a second time during our visit! Excellent and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Kirsten Scoffield

Nice bakery and local diner offering a full palate of gluten free options.

Kiah-Marie Stephens

Celiac safe, Gluten free food. It was INSANE! Loved it so much, definitely recommend. Staff were so reassuring and happy to help ☺️

Cameron Shier

This place is great! Love the food and the yam fries, The service is friendly, and it's awesome that they have gluten free buns!

Barry D

Friendly atmosphere, food tasted great. My wife and I got the fish n chips as she is sensitive to gluten and they did not disappoint.

diana estrada

Best breakfast we ever had! We took my husband for his birthday and we love it! Foos is delicious and they have a lot of options, including GLUTEN FREE! We love it!!! Highly recommend

Natsu Fujita

Good food, celiac friendly, lots of GF options available. Large portions, very full afterwards!

Helen

Really great food and have gluten free option that is excellent

Adam Harty

Loved the ferna all around the restaurant! Service was fantastic! Our kettle chips took an extra minute but one of the managers took care of that for us, but the food was amazing Tons of gluten free options, and they will cook for those who are celiac! I had the cheeseburger with fries, pretty basic, but it was phenomenal. It’s a place you need to try!

Brittany Rene

So busy. Even when we went in winter. But the food is banging. Able to work with my gluten free and dairy free diet. Still thinking about that Mediterranean bowl. One of the best meals of my life tbh.

Patty Bowman

Great service and great gluten free menu!

Darragh Greaney

Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉

Kelsey Z

As a newly diagnosed celiac my priorities for dining out have drastically altered. In the past this place wasn’t great in my eyes due to the service staff being not so attentive, however I recently had a great experience and better yet they are very gluten free friendly. I am under the impression they have a specific gluten free fryer and they have many options for celiac. The GF burger was a really impressive surprise and all the GF sides were also very good. Thank you and please keep it up! I will return for sure.

maree fudge

SO good! And gluten feee 🩵

Aaron Wilmshurst

Came in for breakfast on a big pow day which kept the number of customers down which was nice. Staff were only too happy to cater for non gluten eater well as a picky eating child. Food was hot and tasty and the drinks were warm and comforting. Would recommend.

Curtis Murray

Some of the best gluten free food I've had. Also a great selection of ciders which are all very good. Comfortable relaxed atmosphere with very friendly and knowledgeable staff

Lindsey Johnston

Had a great first experience here today. They are especially accommodating for Gluten free options.

Jenna Francis

I’m Celiac and they used clean pans for me and was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about cross contamination and how to keep me safe. Very happy with service.

Emily Marazzi

I booked a Mother’s Day dinner at The Table Bistro to celebrate my mom, and it was nothing short of incredible. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional—and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Taylor. Taylor was friendly, knowledgeable, and absolutely wonderful with my little one. She had fantastic recommendations and made us feel so well taken care of. Her attentiveness and warmth truly elevated our evening—she turned a lovely dinner into a true 5-star experience. My mom and I both have gluten allergies, and we were so impressed by the number of delicious, high-quality gluten-free options available. It’s rare to feel so confident and included when dining out, but The Table Bistro really delivered. The food, the atmosphere, and the service were all top-tier. I can honestly say I’ve yet to have a better experience at a restaurant. Highly recommend The Table Bistro—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Taylor as your server!

Green Cuisine is a Victoria gem. My friends and I regularly order take away and sometimes eat in. The food is always hearty, tasty and great value for money. If we ever have visitors, I tell them to check out Green Cuisine. No one has ever told me they weren't impressed with the food on offer, the prices or the wonderful desserts. As a person with Gluten sensitivities, this place gives me so many options. LOVE IT! Can't recommend this place enough. Long may it continue to provide Victoria with affordable, yummy, no nonsense food.

Chanelle

I am always very happy with my experience here, the coffee, the gluten-free baked goods (Sweetened with maple syrup!!), and my chats with the owner. Definitely buy their beans if you're a coffee conoseur! Thank you for actually fulfilling my request for an "extra hot" beverage!

RIZZO 250

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 😊

Eric Fenato

I don’t usually do reviews, but the gluten-free blueberry peach muffin was amazing and the staff are all really great. Awesome place.

Brenda Duggan

Had the parmesan chicken burger gluten free. The bun was very nice texture and burger was flavourful. The fries were crispy and fresh. Service was fast and friendly and felt good knowing funds were going toward community fundraiser.

Sarah

The server was wonderful and made sure that my food came out gluten free. I have celiac and I feel very comfortable eating here. I'm thoroughly impressed with my entire experience.

Paul Davis

Great restaurant and food! I couldn’t believe it was gluten free as well!!!

Dave Kramer

Good experience with some Gluten Free menu choices!

Meike G.

I love everything about this place! Super cozy, great service, and how awesome that it's right by the beach. So happy they're 100% vegan/ plant-based. Everything on their menu is delicious and the cookies are to die for. I always make sure to get some of their gluten-free baked goods for my partner.

Dan Morgan

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.

Out of the three places I’ve tried in Nanaimo this might be my favorite Nanaimo bar. It’s thinner, which means each bite had more balanced ratio of chocolate, cream, and crust. The crust has a nice mix of nuts and is perfectly crunchy (I believe it’s gluten free). The cream layer is not too sweet and overpowering either. Overall a delightful treat with iced coffee! My companion had a bagel sandwich which was delicious as well. Loved this cute little cafe.

Jess L

Delicious and unique ice cream flavors with gluten free and vegan options! The staff is friendly and helpful, especially with allergen info. Can't wait to try more flavors in the future!

Ty Sundquist

So happy to find a gluten-free and vegan Nanaimo bar in Nanaimo! The employees were super helpful and friendly. The black rabbit outside was amazing and perfect!

fishlet

This is the best!!! I am so happy!!! I have celiac and I felt safe at this restaurant : ) The staff are so friendly and also knowledgeable about food allergies. Their music was great too and I almost had trouble eating cus I was headbanging (calmly headbanging to calm music .) Please never close down. I didnt finish my food cause i got real full but it was sooo good Im like tweaking. Thanks

Rebecca

Love the location and atmosphere and the vegan milk options for coffee were appreciated. The vegan baked good were okay but I think the issue was they were also gluten free. Since some people are both vegan and gluten free, I know it is difficult for restaurants to maintain separate options but the vegan baked goods would probably have been better with gluten. I didn't have a meal but they also had a lot of vegan meal options which is appreciated. They also have vegan desserts to consider.

Kate Ray

Wonderful dining experience! They effortlessly accommodated my dairy and gluten restrictions and even sent out a surprise dessert plate as my husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary! Definitely will return next time we are in Whistler.
