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!!

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.

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!

Fawn Offers lots of delicious gluten free and dairy sensitive options. We started with Oysters and the Tune Crudo with their sage and rosemary french fries. Followed by the spinach salad and the zucchini wrapped cod. Everything was very flavourful and felt satisfying without a ton of carbs. We finished with the lemon meringue pie that my friend described as the "closest she has ever come to bungee jumping". A great spot for a group gather or a private dinner for two.

Fresh, delicious and fast! They have amazing gluten free burrito bowls, all the meat is gluten free and the only sauce that isn't GF is the mole. I love it! We go about once a week. Good prices
