Top 50 Gluten-Free Pet-Friendly Spots Across Nova Scotia

Aaron Shenkman

It really breaks my heart to be leaving this 1 star review. Evans is usually incredible, with the best fish and chips in town. HOWEVER, last time we ordered from them the fish had gone bad. We called to let them know, and the person on the phone assured us that he had taken down our information and that our next order of the same dishes would be free. Today when we placed our order, we were told that they had no record of that conversation, and that at most they could comp us one of the dishes. We pushed back, saying that it's not our fault that their co-worker didn't properly note our information (and they also noted that they'd just changed their system over, so it might have gotten lost in the shuffle). In the end, we were left to pay for bad fish last month with no compensation from the restaurant. We're all for supporting a great local business, so this situation sucks. We order from Evan's every month and have easily spent thousands there over the past five years. It's a shame to have to find another gluten free fish and chips place now.

Having Celiac and travelling is so hard. The Wooden Monkey has been perfect!!! Thank you ❤️

What a sweet little place! Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, and yummy food! Bonus of being family friendly and having lots of gluten free options. Very pleased we found this spot.

Service is always great. Very friendly staff. We had some espresso martinis, and some vodka sodas. Really love that their beer is gluten friendly. Patio space outside is great in the summer time.

What a cute gem! I ordered the lavender london fog, home limonade and, deluxe veggie sandwich. The drinks : 5/5 - the London fog was insanely good, the lavender syrup is so delicious The veggie sandwich : 3/5 - sadly it was disappointing as it really missed something to make it more of a complete meal and more balanced flavours like hummus or veggie pâté or tofu spread. It was a toast with lettuce, tomatoes, shreded carrots, a small slice of cheese and a pickle on top. The veggies were kf high quality and very fresh. However, I was hungry 1 hour later 🥲 because of the lack of protein. (Note : mine was with gluten free bread which makes it extra dry) But I still highly recommend this café for something other than the veggie sandwich. The gift shop is lovely.

Went with some friends as two of us are celiac. This is an extremely easy place to eat gluten free! We were very pleased with the options. Maya was our server and she was absolutely lovely, she was very educated about the menu and was able to answer all of our questions. It was clear that she took the allergies very seriously as well. The gnocchi didn't have a ton of flavour but admittedly we had to order it without the scallops, so I imagine that would change things. The kitchen accidentally made it with gluten but the mistake was caught before it got to our table and was very quickly remade! The rissotto was incredible, and is naturally gluten free already. We will definitely go back to try the gf creme brûlée. Thanks!!

Phil Charles

AMAZING gluten-free desserts.

Colin Purcell

I would have given a high rating, but I'm tried of being gouged for gluten free buns and bread. Its not a choice, its celiac. The food was great and service very friendly.

Ellen Yeung

One of the few places where we can get dairy, egg and gluten free options to accommodate allergies. Always great food, great service and great scenery!

Rochelle Hatcher

So MANY gluten free options including battered haddock, chowder, and amazing deserts. Service is fantastic.

Alex Trimper

My favourite cidery in the valley! Great food! They do a good job with gluten-free needs.

Alex B

Exceptional Vegan and Gluten free fare. Clearly marked menu indicating options for different dietary needs, and truly delicious offerings across the board. Service was excellent, and the food was delightful - a little oasis of allergen-free goodness.

Claire Murdock

I wish I could give more stars!! Our host was friendly, engaging and an amazingly talented chef. Outstanding food, with exciting flavors and the perfect balance of fine dining flair in a totally relaxed atmosphere. Highlights were the exceptional melt-in-the-mouth goat curry, jerk chicken waffle, warm banana bread and sweet, tangy and light mango cheesecake (which all just happened to be gluten-free!) A real treat in Halifax's North End, with a menu to delight all ages and tastes.

Food is tasty. They do offer gluten-free options, however, they do not substitute items, such as coleslaw, for anything else. A couple of sliced tomatoes would be nice as I am paying for the void on my plate. Atmosphere and area is super gorgeous. Gift shop is awesome.

Rachel MacLeod

We stopped in specifically for the ceviche, which was listed on the website, but unfortunately the in-restaurant menu had been changed to a new season before our visit. Despite this intial disappointment, everything we tried was delicious. There are several gluten free options, however they were not marked on the menu. The service was a bit disappointing though. Only one waiter was serving the entire restaurant so naturally, we had quite a long wait.

Andrea Aubie

A great place to take the family for ice cream. Amazing dairy free options and the gluten friendly cone was so good! Never thought I'd be able to have one again. My daughter loved the strawberry ice cream and my husband also loved his milkshake, a must go if you're in the area

Fay Rolfe

On vaycay from Vancouver B.C. doing the walk about at Pier21 and stopped into The BG. Beautiful location, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Huge beverage menu!! As celiac, it's challenging to find some safe eats away from home. I ordered the gf option Lobster Roll & fries and oh my lord.... fantastic 😋 Thanks for being aware of dietary restrictions for some 🥳 If I'm ever back out this way, will definitely come back.

Chris Veinot

Excellent place to get good food and also has gluten free options

Belinda Tupper

The Long Table Social Club is a great spot to enjoy an afternoon lunch on the patio, supper or the full meal deal with music and a delicious grilled meal on their Cooking with Fire Fridays! The owner and staff are friendly and accommodating for special dietary needs. I love that I can get gluten free options! The sunsets are second to none which tops off this great outdoor social dining experience. You simply have to visit!

Bethany Dugas

Really unique tea blends, coffee-based drinks, and treats with names inspired by literature. There are a range of options for different dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, etc.)Friendly staff and lovely soft music in the background. The shop is wheelchair accessible and the walls post art from the Truro arts society.

Jaya Fahey

I have celiac disease and have ordered the gluten free pizza numerous times without issue. Really yummy and I especially like the meat lovers, butter chicken and the Punjabi classic!

Ken Steffens

We heard so many good things we decided to make the trip to give it a try. The pizza was delicious. The staff was very friendly. Tons of gluten free options. We will be returning.

Jeneva Moxon

What a great place! Delicious food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. As a bonus they had lots of gluten free options and seemed knowledgeable about cleaning procedures to minimize cross-contamination. I will definitely come again!

Family Cooper

Server was excellent. Very friendly. Gluten free options. Excellent meal. oysters were delicious would definitely recommend. Can’t wait to come back

Felicia Almeida

Visited family who were staying at the Inn and are at the restaurant. Enjoyed the fish and chips it was so delicious and a generous sized portion. My company had a burger, she has celiac disease and they had gluten free bun option with side salad instead of fries(contaminated fryer). Restaurant had a beautiful view and Inn rooms enjoy the water. Beautiful place and staff all around.

Melissa Stephens

Was a super cute place, enjoyed the mussels with a great gluten free bun. Music was wonderful. I will certainly go back again

Bob McCord

We went to Upstreet for dinner. Had one of the platters and it was amazing. The brisket is to die for. I would go back just for the brisket. Also great gluten free options. Was very happy to see that on the menu.

Isabelle Kordonbluee

The cafe is great. This is just the kind of place I like to experience. Everything we ate tasted great. And you also get gluten-free alternatives. The gluten free wrap was great. Because it's so good, the café is always busy. That's something that makes up part of the atmosphere. .... and the Canadians were always in a good mood.

Morgan Miller

The owner and the staff are so genuine and happy to see you, it makes for such a wonderful sippin’ or shoppin’ experience. Such unique gifts, incredibly delicious coffee and gluten free goodies for us Celiacs! If you haven’t been in, do yourself a favour and go! Large patio in the back is perfect for the Summer season!

Tanya Marie

Craving a home-cooked meal? Angie's is my go-to restaurant whenever I'm craving a turkey dinner or hot hamburger dinner. They offer good-sized meals, so you get your money's worth, which is an incentive in today's world. They offer a great variety on their menu, including gluten-free. Their apple crisp is another favorite of mine. Lots of parking, unique octagon building, outside seating, take out, and the service is exceptional; very friendly and kind.

Ruaraidh Butler

Friendly and caring people. For medical reasons, I can't consume gluten. Complicated as I'm vegetarian too. And as much as I love Indian food, I can't have anything too spicy. Our server was wonderfully understanding and concerned to ensure they accommodate my dietary need. I asked for the food to cater to the gentle taste of a 5 year old! And they did just that ... the food was delicious. Although my wife and I live out of Province, we will be back. For folks fortunate enough to live in Halifax and area, ensure to schedule a visit to Twist of India!

Jordan Fridsma

so delish, cheap, food took 15 minutes to come out but it was well worth it. No gluten free buns.

Grace Lee

The service was great (friendly and efficient) and the food was above average. They offer gluten free substitutions for limited items (bread, pasta, tortilla) for a charge, but have limited options for dairy free diet restrictions.

Sara

One of my favorite dinners during our visit to Halifax. My family stayed in the neighborhood and walked here for dinner one night. Fantastic food, drinks, and atmosphere. I also have some dietary restrictions (gluten-free / dairy-free)and they were so kind and willing to accommodate. Would definitely go back next time I visit the area!

Mary Mackay

Amazing service , dhawal was so kind and saved the day! He made us a yummy pizza last minute for our Christmas Eve party. They also have gluten free pizza !

Moon and the Moon Goddess

The food is reasonable and is absolutely delicious 😋 Loved that they could make things dairy and gluten free for me!!!

Brandi Macumber

Extremely disappointing. My family and I ate here about a month ago and the food was great, we were so excited to come back tonight but unfortunately it was a very different experience this time around. The hostess was super sweet, but our waitress came and didn’t even introduce herself. Just “what would you like for drinks”. I don’t even know that she said hi. It was just abrupt and unwelcoming. We then ordered the arancini as an appetizer for my daughter and it was frozen in the middle. We let our server know and she replaced them. No big deal. They were busy and I get that mistakes happen. We then proceeded to wait 45 minutes for our mains. Which again, they’re busy. I get it and it wouldn’t have bothered me to wait if the food was good. But the food finally came and my daughter’s pasta had very obviously been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time and my partner picked a large chunk of onion peel out of one of his onion rings. When he asked for more ketchup it didn’t come. But the worst of all was my pizza. I ordered gluten free crust which I understand comes frozen but there’s no way anyone thawed it or even attempted to. It was soggy and uncooked when it arrived. I could tell from first glance that it wasn’t cooked and as a server myself, I’m not sure how our server didn’t send it back the minute she saw it. They clearly slapped on some toppings and threw it in the oven on broil so it at least looked a little brown on the top but the bottom was completely uncooked. I didn’t eat it and I didn’t even bother to complain. No one asked why I didn’t eat it, if it was good.. nothing. Incredibly disappointing. We won’t be back.

Kevin Wanamaker

Food was great and service was too. Gluten free food options if you need GF. They have GF bread available.

Lyndsay MacDonald

A great day for drinks on the Beaver Bank Station patio. The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious. They have some great staples, like the fish and chips and their Station Burger. They also have great vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Peo ples

One of the Best places to get a Gluten Free Cakes. Taste 10/10 Look 10/10 Service 10/10 Good Luck Guys!!

Heather S Machum

I had a great lunch with my friend. I had the Chilli (gluten free). She had the egg and avocado sandwich made gluten free.

Kat Van Vlack

Great lunch spot, gluten free bread available for all sandwiches. We enjoyed the BLT & Chicken salad. Friendly and attentive staff.

Robbie Neil-Young

Good value and great taste. Gluten free is great!

Doug Piper

Had a next level Chicken Bacon Wrap here with their gluten free wrap (found out it was the cauliflower crust with cheese perfectly melted on it) and was so happy our family chose this place! Definitely check it out if close by.

Colin Burgoyne

Neat little restaurant with a beautiful patio on the water. Nice looking menu. Food was very good for others in the party. I would not come here again as a Celiac as the menu clearly states they do not have a separate prep area or protocol to limit cross contamination. Sadly, "gluten friendly" is not a thing.

Jesax Eight

Food is always so good and fresh. Servers are also very nice and the kitchen could accommodate some dishes for a celiac friend.

Maureen Locke

My daughter has Celiac disease so we were in Bedford on business and checked google for gluten free dining. PizzaTown came up and was close to our location so we headed there. To say that it was the best pizza I had ever had would be an understatement. I couldn't believe how many toppings were on that pizza. I had Hawaiian and my daughter had a meat lovers which was also FULL of toppings. The sauce was delicious, the waiter was so friendly and accommodating and pricing was fairly normal. I will definitely recommend this place and will return when in the area again.😋😋Thank you Pizzatown. :)

Deborah Nicholson

Dickie-Baxter is the latest gem on the what-to-do-in-The-Valley scene. We've been three times and three times, we were wowed by the beautifully presented and wildly delicious offerings of Chef Wayne and Sous-Chef Tammy. All servers, Nate, Katrina, and owners, Clare and Dom are warm, friendly and attentive. And a nice touch, Chef Wayne comes to the table to see how you're enjoying and to personally thank you for coming in. Food is healthy and yummy and there's plenty for gluten-free and vegetarian diners. January and February are tough times for restaurants, so please do what you can to keep this wonderful new establishment open and serving our community. If you're staying away from restaurants these days, Dickie-Baxter does take out!

Ryan Thompson

They have gluten free crust options now, and they taste great!

FrancoFrame

I highly recommend a stop if you pass by and are hungry or want a coffee! I really liked how the premises were moved into this old station! The sandwiches are excellent. There is a gluten-free option. I also had a muffin and it was delicious in addition to seeming really homemade and not ultra processed… And of course good coffee too!
