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!

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.

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.

Natsu Fujita

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

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!

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.

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!

Lindsey Johnston

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

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 😊

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 🎉

Brooks Nicols

Delicious vegetarian menu including several signature concoctions and several dishes which are also gluten free, or vegan or vegan option. Every food dish is healthy here. At least everything here is served with healthy intent. I only say this because they do serve beer and wine also.

Chelsea Marcantonio

So many amazing vegan and gluten free options 😍😍😍

Unforgettable Dining Experience at Zarak – A Must-Visit! I had the pleasure of dining at Zarak for the first time in July with a group of five people, each of us with different dietary restrictions – gluten-free, dairy-free, coconut-free, and vegetarian. While I initially felt overwhelmed by the menu, our server, Sanmeet, turned what could have been a stressful situation into a seamless and enjoyable experience. She took the time to carefully listen to our restrictions and, in less than a minute, curated the perfect menu for us, ensuring we could enjoy our time together without worrying about what to order. Her recommendations were spot on, and the variety of cocktails was equally impressive! From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, the entire team made us feel welcome and cared for. The level of attentiveness was beyond compare. One detail that stood out to me was how the staff intuitively timed their service – they approached us only during natural pauses in our conversations, which I deeply appreciated. At one point, I needed a napkin, and just as I was about to ask, one of the staff members approached me, and it felt like they had read my mind. It’s those small details that really made the experience special. Now, the food was incredible, but what made the evening truly unforgettable was the exceptional level of customer service. Towards the end of the night, everyone except me ordered dessert because I couldn’t find anything on the menu that was both dairy-free and coconut-free, which I was fine with. Sanmeet noticed and immediately went above and beyond to accommodate me. Within minutes, she brought out a delicious pistachio gelato, which had no gluten, coconut, or dairy – and it was on the house! That thoughtful gesture spoke volumes about her dedication to making sure everyone had a wonderful time. What’s even more impressive is that when my partner and I returned to Zarak a month and a half later for drinks and dinner, Sanmeet remembered us. The genuine smile on her face when I greeted her by name made it clear that this restaurant isn’t just about serving great food – it’s about creating lasting relationships with their guests. Sanmeet’s warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care for her guests left an incredible impression on me, and I’ve been raving about Zarak to everyone I know. If you ever visit, I highly recommend asking for her – she truly made our dining experience unforgettable. I look forward to returning again and again!

I tried the gluten-friendly vegan dream pizza. The crust was amazing, and vegan pizza is so delicious! The place has a very chill atmosphere. Since I have gluten sensitivity, I often have trouble finding proper places with good-tasting options. Ignite is one of the best places you can choose in Vancouver if you're looking for gluten-friendly pizza.

Michelle Beaubien

A nice space with lots of healthy options! Gluten free was no problem for them to accommodate and I really enjoyed my meal. :)

Ben Anderson

Good gluten free options

Shachar Tsafon

Great gluten free pizza, small but very tasty. It’s such a cool place!

Madison

I love the work out classes, and LOVE that they have so many vegan and gluten free pastries.

Jemma Lee

Had the BLT bagel it was stacked with bacon and great value, DELICIOUS! Loved the mayo/sauces and guac it had on it! Espresso drinks have minimal sweetness which is nice. Quite impressed with the food and drink I enjoyed here today. Also loved the gluten free options. The service was wonderful. Looking forward to summer mornings on the patio with my dogs. Will definitely be back again and again!

Mk Konefal

I took my family here and it was all of their first times eating Ethiopian food. I love Ethiopian food for large groups as it easily accommodates many dietary restrictions, like gluten, dairy. and vegetarian. They all loved it so much and were super full after sharing a platter together. The service was incredibly kind and attentive. I am happy that this place was were they got to be introduced to one of my favorite cuisines

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.

Samuel Hall

Delicious! Great vegan and gluten free options. So good. I love it.

Francisco Matz Trujillo

Service may improve though seemed to be shorthanded on a Sunday evening. Food was good, fish and chips (rice flour batter is an excellent solution for gluten issues).

Ariana Arrue

We got gluten free w vegan mozzarella, and if you eat this way- you know the ingredients can be hit or Miss at Some places… THIS is your gluten free pizza place!! SO Delicious I would go back in a heartbeat.

Lesley White

They make a Gluten Free crust and it is near impossible to tell apart from real pizza crust! Also, the happy hour offers are awesome! This is my new favorite neighborhood pizza place now! I added olives, and I'd do it again! Delicious.

Krista

This restaurant is AMAZING !! We ordered the nachos and several tacos. Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. My husband and I both have allergies, gluten & egg, and the Manager, Chris, came out to talk with us in regard to our allergies to make sure the dishes we ordered wouldn't be of concern. Thanks so much! 10/10!

Zac Daniels

Purchased 3 meals, all three meals were absolutely fantastic! One was also gluten free and cannot fault its price and quantity. The service by a young male was terrific! Very well spoken and delivered an amazing service on phone and in person! Whilst waiting on meals, drinks were delivered without even asking and was very polite throughout the whole process. Also credits to the chef and the team, would definitely go back in a heartbeat! First meal in Vancouver coming over from Australia and was absolutely mouth watering!

Chris Smith

As someone with celiac disease who orders lunch from this restaurant regularly, I’ve always tried to be understanding about the costs of specialty items, but this last experience was a deal-breaker. I’m already paying $9.99 for a 4-5 piece salmon roll, which I think is overpriced to begin with, but now they’ve started charging 20 cents per packet of GF soy sauce. Fair enough, I guess, but this time they charged me $1 per packet of GF soy sauce. That’s just ridiculous. It feels like they're trying to make up margin on people with allergies, and that’s seriously frustrating. It’s one thing to charge a little extra for gluten-free items, but gouging customers with dietary restrictions feels wrong. I won't be coming back after this.

C Pearson

Wow! I brought my 13 yr old out to breakfast, and found this cute little coffee, café, bistro? Kranky's has a little of everything, and it is mostly made there, fresh! The owner and waitstaff were super friendly, kind(helped us find a tasty choice for me(I have Celiac), and had a joyful small-talk conversation with our daughter about her choices on a future pet :) Thank you, Cat, Hope? and ummm, dagnabit! The owner!! I know, I know her name, it is just out of my reach right now.

N Schmid

Great gluten free options!

Shahdad Samimi

Great Smoked Salmon Benedict for brunch. The coffee wasn't the best but they were able to accommodate gluten-free options. Substitute bread for more potatoes but they can't guarantee cross contamination it seemed like so if you are severely celiac just consider that.

Tay Asha

glutenfrei - glutenfree options available. we were there for watching a soccer match and ate a snack

JESSICA

We sat at the chef’s table and ordered the chef’s tasting menu and it was a delight! Perfect amount for 2 people, it’s a wonderful journey through some of the best dishes they have to offer. Everything is vegan, and can be made gluten free upon request. Lovely staff, beautiful place, and you pay for what you get for and you wanna get on this Folke train, trust me!

Dallas Mendez

coffee side of the business is lovely, a nice range of delish snacks, including vegan and gluten free options, and the beverage options are very good too, a perfect spot after a cold dip :)

Luna Aziz

I love this place. My uber driver suggested this place to me and the food and service was awesome. Our server Simraun helps me in some gluten free food and all of them were mouth watering. I'll love to visit this place soon.

Pelumi Dada (styledbypelumi)

I came here with some friends for lunch. I ordered the Teriyaki Bowl and the Sweet Potato Fries. They have vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options, which is nice. I enjoyed my meal, the teriyaki bowl was flavourful and the rice in it was soft but not mushy. I also liked how the fries were crispy and well seasoned. Our server didn’t really check in on us after the food arrived and we had to ask for our water and drinks to be refilled. Other than that, our food came out within a reasonable time and it was a pretty good experience overall.

Haley M

Love this new healthy spot close to home. Had the chick pea gluten free wrap it was great and didn’t fall apart like most gluten free items. Highly recommend!!

Jackie Kawaauhau

We visited in August. This is our new fave restaurant! My husband is a chef and was happy with every dish. There were a good amount of gluten friendly options too! Our fave was the pork tomahawk. It was perfectly tender and so flavorful! The sablefish was soooo delicious too. We dream about the pork dish often and can't wait to have it again. Service was great too. Can't wait to return and order like 3 pork tomahawks and the panna cotta!

Zahra Tejpar

I’ve been wanting to try Lila since I found out about it opening and I finally did. I love that it has a modern twist on Indian food with a number of dishes being vegan/gluten free or having a vegan option available. As someone who has been dairy free for over a year, I often find it difficult when I there’s no dairy free or vegan options available (and Indian food is one of my favourite cuisines). The restaurant itself is small so I would recommend making a reservation especially when heading into the evening dinner hours. They have super cute but small patio upfront and also a back yard too with some tables (didn’t get to see this). Service was wonderful. The staff were quite friendly which was amazing. I will definitely be back here.

Food is very good. It's a bit pricey with no special lunch offers, just a few daily offers (today if was 10% off). It was empty and seems more like a dinner place. The servers were deep inside the restaurant, not really looking out for customers. It's very quiet, so it would be good for a business meeting at lunch. The curries do not come with rice, so when you account for it being already $23 or so for a dish, and $5 for rice, that's very pricey for lunch. The dish itself was very big so i have enough for two meals. I ordered the Kala lamb which has a very rich flavour with a medium hot spice level. I ordered a side of cabbage $5, and it came on a very small plate, it had delicate flavours, but would not be filling for anyone as a side order. There are many gluten-free options, just everything is close to around $30 dollars for lunch here once u factor in the rice/naan. I would prob eat here more if dish +rice/naan was closer to $20.

Anje Skomorowski

Ines our waiter was knowledgeable about the salsas and gave us great pointers on what was hot and not. Our soft tacos were excellent! The guacamole was very fresh with the nice touch of added pepitas for garnish. They will make pretty much anything gluten free ( many dishes are already gf and a swap of corn for flour tortillas does the trick). Loved the house made tortilla chips. This is not a Tex Mex restaurant. We will absolutely 💯 be back again when we are in Vancouver.

Denise

What a pleasant experience we had at an early dinner at The Red Accordion. The food was delicious and completely gluten free for me. They suggested a new wine with a cider blend that was crisp and a good compliment to the salmon. The staff were incredibly attentive but not bothersome. They even pulled up a pic of the wine so I could remember it. My husband said his pork dish was flavorful. The oranges and beets were a very good blend of flavors with the salmon. Lovely evening.

If you are gluten-free, do not eat the banana bread. I did. I paid over $5 for it. It's not gluten-free. It's not even very good. And if gluten makes you sick, like it does me, trust me when I say you don't need to pay $5 for something that takes like sugar bread that will cause you gastro and other issues. *In response to the reply by Trees, if gluten free products are cut and packaged in the same area where wheat flour products are, cross-contamination occurs. So any gluten free product handled in these areas will cause issues for your patrons.

Dave-Erik Drugge

Had the buttered chicken. As a celiac they said to let the kitchen know and they will make sure its gluten-free 100%. And it was! and it was tasty. Great service...music a bit loud for conversation. But maybe thats because im old. Thanks for the great experience

Lydia Evans

I had the shakshuka and Turkish coffee - both were delicious. They pay great attention to detail, have great servers and the general vibe there is excellent. Sitting by the window is also prime people watching. There are gluten free options

Joy Hawk

Sarah Mayer

Ordered a gluten free burrito which they do in a bowl - does not say it needs to be a bowl to be gluten free though. Item had gluten because it came in a flour tortilla. I called the restaurant to confirm if it was gluten free, and they were quite unhelpful.

A D

Love this place for it's atmosphere. They have the best gluten free chocolate trio cake. My husband even loves it, can't tell it's gluten free :)

Elaine

Service was a bit slow but the place was crowded and do not take reservations on Friday and Saturday. Excellent food, great portions, friendly staff was able to meet gluten free diet requirements proactively.
