Follow @bredgyeats for more food pics! You can sprout a new love for gluten-free eats at this local cafe, and you'll hardly miss the gluten. The sandwich is as satisfying as it looks, with ingredients that come together to deliver a delicious bite where basil is the star. They also have a mini side salad, but I opted for an orange almond cake too, and the citrusy addition pairs nicely with the sweet, nutty almond base.

! Celiac disease friendly ! So many options/substitutions for celiacs. My husband was able to enjoy a breakfast sandwich with home fries... that looked and tasted great! The pricing was fair and affordable which was also a plus. This will be our go to spot when visiting Toronto.

Wow! I was visiting from the states for a concert that got cancelled but I guess that was a blessing in disguise as that gave us a chance to stop here to eat. The owner/server was friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic! I have celiac so I was absolutely drawn here for the GF options. They asked about dietary restrictions up front and I felt comfortable and safe. The food was delicious and my non GF fiancé loved it as well. Dedicated fryers are hard to come by (at least back home) so I took advantage of having one of my old favorites, poutine! It was perfectly layered so each bite was tasty, not like a lot of places that will just dump the gravy and cheese on top leaving you with a plate of dry fries underneath. It was also my first crab cake in years, and it really took me back to the Lexington Market in Baltimore when I was younger (it was actually better). The margarita hit the spot and the homemade hot sauce was super tasty. I will 100% be stopping back next time in I’m Toronto, thank you so much!!!

I wish I had taken pictures of my food everything was incredible! Our server, Sabrina was very friendly and helped my fiancé and I navigate the menu. This was one of the most gluten free accommodating places I’ve ever been. I wish I lived closer so I come back!

Sara & Liz

100 % Gluten free! So many delicious taco options!

Eric McDonald

Amazing coffee, the biggest ice cream cone I've ever seen and great croissants! Gluten free snacks as well!

Emmalyn Lacroix

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!! The people here are so kind and the food is so good. They also offer gluten free options and make their spicy mayo sauce fresh. I definitely suggest coming to check this place out, definitely worth it.

I came here to dine in last weekend for the first time, closer to their closing time and was greeted very nicely and food was very amazing! I love all gluten free idea. My drink was a bit bitter so i went and asked for a different drink, the supervisor (im assuming, short brown guy) was very rude to me and said, “what do you want then?” And then slammed the drink on the floor. This is ridiculous behaviour. I understand the hurry to close but this is not the way to go!

Kate Dupuis

We absolutely love Beertown — and more importantly, we trust Beertown. My fiancé has celiac disease, and it can be really tough to find restaurants where we feel safe AND enjoy great food with lots of options. Beertown is our #1 choice. They have a full gluten-free menu, always take extra care with his order, and he’s never been glutened here — not once. The atmosphere is always warm, welcoming, and a little trendy. Plus, their patio is fantastic — dog-friendly with beds and water bowls brought to your pup without even asking. Couldn’t recommend this location more!

Rachel Loerts

The service was friendly and fast, and it was a cute little pub. Very clean and cute decorations. The lunch menu had very few gluten-free options. Their burgers have gluten in the patty (but this information was not available online when I checked beforehand), so I couldn't have a burger, which is usually something you can count on being gluten-free at a pub. I got the spinach with chick pea pancake. It was really good, but not very filling, especially given the price.

Joel Desjardins

Mel’s Diner offers a classic diner experience with friendly staff, good food, and a retro vibe. We came at 9:30 on a Sunday and had a 20-minute wait for a table to open for 5 people, which felt like a reasonable wait time. There was counter seating available for smaller groups. We ordered quite a lot of food, and all of it was pretty good— nothing life-changing but a good, solid diner breakfast, with surprisingly good coffee. I typically find diner coffee to be pretty underwhelming. Mel’s menu also caters well for vegan and gluten-free people, which is something a lot of diners and breakfast places are missing. Mel’s has been around for a long time, and it makes sense why good food at reasonable prices with something for everyone on their menu.

I am embarrassingly obsessed with the sriracha pineapple cauliflower wings here. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, sweet, spicy, crispy, and served on a bed of crunchy kale. It’s technically an appetizer it’s honestly a full meal lol. The portion is huge and so so good. Whenever I’m hungry and don’t know what I want, my boyfriend knows to just pick these up for me and I’ll be a happy girl. We’re moving out of the city soon, so they shared the recipe for the wings and the sauce with me for when I’m craving it - 10/10 staff. Whether you're plant-based or not, get them.

Vic Coy

Superb gluten-free options on the menu. The best gluten free pizza and cookies. An excellent small grocery area, as well. Staff are amazing. I work a very physically demanding job and always feel great and energized for my day after eating here.

Amy Robertson

If you have celiac disease I do not recommend you eat here. To the owner, please review celiac and cross contamination with your staff and double check ingredients/labeling/storage/prep areas. My partner was glutened last night after the staff member assured him both the fish and chips and onion rings were gluten free and cooked in a dedicated fryer. He isn’t the only one that’s had an issue here either so something isn’t right. We know he takes a risk every time he eats out but please review your protocols. We had heard such good reviews from other celiacs and sadly he was super sick because of it. Food was delicious but not safe!

Ashley Capern

Lots of gluten free options on the menu and staff were very knowledgeable about ingredients and cross contamination. Would absolutely go back!

Mike L

My new favourite ice cream place in Ottawa! And they have gluten-free waffle cones and GF icecream sandwiches. 🍦🤤🍨

Ashley Kennedy

10/10. The fish tacos are my #1 choice, always. Such a great experience at the Burlington location, our server was so attentive and did a remarkable job accommodating our daughters gluten allergy.

Courtney Lewicki

I don’t normally review , but WOW. I have had a gluten intolerance for a few years now and have recently been taking it very seriously. As you can imagine it’s been hard to find things to substitute things with gluten that doesn't taste like cardboard. If your gluten free THIS IS YOUR PLACE. I had a ham panini , cupcake and brownie all gluten free. I was so delighted how fresh and yummy the bread tasted , the cupcake was just right amount of sweet with a light tasting icing. Oh gosh, perfection. I haven’t tried the brownie yet but I’m confident it’s delicious. Too bad we live an hour away, but I will 100% be returning here soon, worth the trip. Thank you 3 Sisters!

Jenn Bond

Outstanding! We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door, offered a menu and explained what to do next, we never felt rushed. You can tell they are so well organized to keep this place running like a well oiled machine... When ordering they had options to accomodate my Gluten free (wheat allergy) and they even knew right away what sauces I should take off my burger and add without having to pull things up or go ask which is something I really appreciated and don't see often! I ordered the Zeus burger and so did my boyfriend (i had a fresh greek salad with mine and him and poutine). It was at our table withing less than 10minutes. Absolutely the best burger I have ever had! My favorite part was seeing the owner in the restaurant interacting with guests, welcoming them, cleaning tables, delivering food. He looked genuinely proud to be the owner of this place and that's something you never get to see. Will be 100% returning! Thanks Olympus Burger

Pam Craig

When we saw 5 stars we thought hey we have to try this place out and we are so glad we did!! EVERYTHING was amazing I really can't say enough just go, I promise you won't regret it!! Oh and did I mention there were so many gluten free options

Fiona Clydesdale

Had a really lovely meal here sharing GF pasta and GF pizza. Amazing pizza base! Servers very aware and aware of CC.

Adam Occhipinti

Amazing poke. Gluten Free options.

Chris Spiccia

Fun atmosphere. Live music. Recommend making reservations because it fills up fast. Our waitress was helpful with questions about gluten free items. I had a delicious beef stew and my husband had a very tasty seafood stew. Great place for a satisfying and filling meal!

Katt Krieger

Fantastic food! Had the blue raspberry glitter bomb and added strawberry boba, 100% recommend. Food is very flavourful and has gluten free and vegan options. Would come again

Claudia Gagnon

This was the second time we've been here. It's a must when we visit, as well as ordering the corn! You won't regret it! Also nearly all items, except for a few, are gluten free...including and incredible chocolate mousse cake!

Maddie Todd

Always great to find a gluten free option! Food was delicious!

Julian Catalano

Anthony was an amazing server ! Checking in on us but not interrupting us at the same time ! I am celiac and was able to eat at this restaurant, the staff made me feel heard about my allergy and reassured me with the measures they would take to make my meal safe. Great place to go! Super cute decor and style.

Angela Verlaeckt Clark

Fish and Chips ( gluten free) Will never repeat the choice. Tasteless.

Sara C

Wow! Really enjoyed everything about Vela, I can’t believe I waited so long to try it! Went tonight for an anniversary dinner, and was very impressed with the food, service, and vibes. They are so accommodating for gluten free, the pasta was delicious and there was something to choose from throughout the whole menu that was gluten free! Only item pictured that wasn’t gluten free was the burrata canestri pasta. Missing was the gf brownie which was also so yummy!

Erika Nickerson

best of both worlds - classic breakfast and smoothie bowls, allergy and gluten conscious! I had the manglo smoothie bowl and it's delicious!!! our server Riley was also superb!

Olena Horodyska

Amazing sandwiches and such wonderful service from the owner who obviously pours her whole heart into what she does. Everything is homemade and my celiac partner was beyond happy with the delicious gluten free bread options. Highly recommend this as your new lunch spot!

Amanda Hammond

The tea flavours are delicious and there are lots of gluten free options. Also genuinely the most comfortable couches I’ve ever sat in in my life.

Rob Aleksic

Pleasantly surprised with the vegan, gluten-free options and atmosphere. Would very much recommend this cozy dining place.

Nanette S

Had to come back to this spot for a slap up breakfast. Conveniently located around the corner from where East meets West (King St). The menu is filled with options for anyone, with a nicely elevated complementary pairing of flavours and gluten free options above and beyond bacon and eggs. It’s a bit on the noisy side with the open kitchen so if you or your party are sensitive to noise I’d keep that in mind. Reservations recommended - it’s busy because it’s good! Shout out to Jill who remembered us from our trip last summer :) all of the staff who served us today were wonderful!

Stan Cheer

WOW, Gluten-Free (GF) fried chicken, GF mac and cheese, GF burgers, etc and GF fish and chips on Friday. What a great optionin Stittsville

Erica M

I love Beertown. Not just because they satisfy my foodie cravings for meat, nutrition and flavour…but also because they cater to the dairy and gluten-free side of me with an ENTIRE MENU OF GOODNESS.

Marsha Lebeau

This cozy cafe had an amazing selection of delicious and beautiful treats. Vegan, gluten-free, savoury and sweet....it met all our needs!!!! We will make this a regular stop between Ottawa and Kitchener !!!!

Wally Salem

The burgers were excellent and so nice to find a place that has gluten-free options

Alex Kinsella

Always an absolute delight having breakfast here. Food is amazing and they have gluten free bread for toast. 10/10

Camille Cayot

A great place to create your own gluten-free bowl, just the way you like it. A special mention for their paleo pecan pie bar: delicious 🤤 Build-your-own gluten-free bowls + their paleo pecan pie bar = 🤤

Dave Smith

Dave's Genuine is comfort food—pure and simple—especially if you grew up eating deli sandwiches, or Kosher favorites like matzoh ball soup. The turkey club is probably my favorite sandwich of all time, and Dave's Genuine makes a killer one. Best of all, it can be made gluten-free—safe for someone who has Celiac disease, like me. In fact, Dave's Genuine makes a real effort to accommodate gluten allergies because the owner's daughter also has Celiac, so he understands the ins and outs of cross contamination. In my most recent order, Dave's even sent me a free batch of fries with a kind note on it, promising they're prepared separately and fried in their own GF fryer. After trying these fries for the first time—crispy and light, by the way—I knew I needed to write this review. The customer service here is truly impeccable, and so is the quality of the food. Pro-tip: Try the smoked meat, it's insanely good.

Denise Berg

Amazingly tasty food, very friendly service and reasonable prices. The gluten-free Nanaimo bars taste just like the regular ones. Original, beautiful artwork is on the walls. Coffee is quite good too. Love the place!

TBH Reviews

My favourite café! The cutest atmosphere, plenty of delicious gluten free treats, service is great and the drinks are amazing (and consistent). Been here many times and will continue to come back!

Clementine Beaud

The gluten-free eggs Benedict was okay, but nothing special. The service was really slow, and the server wasn't very clear about what contained gluten and what didn't, but luckily her colleague was.

Rachel Millar

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!!!! EXCEPTIONAL FOOD + OUTSTANDING SERVICE by our hostess Sainsha equals us returning for a second time during our mini vacay. Between our two visits - We had the K-Saq to start … followed by Lebanese Cevapi, Here comes the Bride, Grilled Balkan Beef & Lamb Cevapi, Maros Special … For drinks - the kids had Iced Lattes & we loved the Tehran Underground cocktail which totally topped off our experience. Sainsha was extremely attentive, and caring helping us with our questions as we had no idea how big the portion sizes would be. So listen to her when she tells you if it’s too much lol ! She was also great in helping baknce our palate which we appreciated greatly. Topping all of that off with the fact that I am Gluten intolerant so having a variety of dishes to choose from totally made my day. Thank you Sainsha & Maro’s for being a memorable part of our trip this time … a 10/10 You guys know how to make everyone, especially visitors feel special … Keep doing what you’re doing!!
