Everything!

Spencer Clerk

Great food, really friendly and welcoming service. I feel very safe and at ease bringing my celiac mother here, as well. It’s such good peace of mind to be able to trust that a place can serve celiac friendly food.

Michael March

A fun little Cafe, with plenty of gluten free options. Impromptu seating. There is an upstairs area also.

Sarah Freia

It's wonderful to have access to a safe and delicious gluten free fish & chips in the city. Anglr offers beautifully deep-fried flourless goodness, with multiple side offerings to keep you coming back. I was really impressed with the onion rings and yam fries, and would definitely order them again. The service was very friendly, and I'm looking forward to stopping by again!

Carolyn Nichol

So impressed to find a place that cares about the ingredients they use for the health and well being of their clients. LOVE that they are gluten free and have vegan options. Take out, or sit down that doesn't set your health back is what Toronto needs more of, and this company has it!

Peter Kerr

It's a sports bar, busy and loud during happy hour. Great food and plenty of options for my partner with celiac disease (who is very concerned about cross contamination and staff are knowledgable)

Ashley Capern

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

Tobi McGrory

Gluten free fried chicken is a treat when you can find it. Will for sure be a returning customer. Hot maple sauce is yummy!

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!

Maria

I have a gluten intolerance, Ciliac. We were guaranteed a gluten-free breakfast.The server guaranteed that the breakfast was gluten-free. I reacted immediately. Definitely NOT GLUTEN-FREE. It has ruined a full day, in Toronto at Christmas break which consists of a two day vacation. Very disappointed and in pain.

Lori Lake

Food was phenomenal...good quality, fresh...and so many really great gluten free options.

Jason Booker

I haven’t had any thing bad from here. Awesome gluten free goodies. Great drinks. If you prefer treats with a mellow sweetness. This is the place for you.

Maryam Younis

celiac safe restaurant. healthy but super tasty!

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.

Krystal Leung

They have a lot of different waffles choices on the menu. I ordered the Churros one with some cinnamon sugar and syrup on the waffles. It was delicious and i love it. The environment was nice, good for people who want to chill or gathering with friends. They also have gluten free and vegan options. Good for vegan people to enjoy waffles. One thing a little bit inconvenient to me is they only accept debit/cash. not really a big deal but just i prefer pay in credit card.

Lili Sapier

I have celiac and the staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating to my needs. Very delicious burgers and gluten-free bun is very good

Stevie

Love this place! So many gluten free/vegan/vegetarian options that are actually delicious! The atmosphere is also very cute and the rooftop patio is lovely! Expect to come by when you have some time to relax and enjoy the experience as the food doesn’t always come out super fast but it’s been delicious every time Our server, Imaan was also absolutely lovely!

Ahmed Abdulmajeed

Best breakfast place in Toronto, and great gluten free options

Vlad Nabok

Great coffee ☕️ shop in the Beaches area. Lots of gluten-free and low carbon snacks. Really enjoyed their espresso. The location is great too. Nice outside bench for people watching in the Beach. Highly recommend and would definitely comeback when I am in the area.

Jonathan Lowe

Food was fresh and delicious. Celiac safe protocols. Yay!!

Joseph Zettler

Been ordering from here for a while. They're great for people that need to eat gluten free and have celiac. They even wrote some labels onto the containers on our last order ❤️

Michaela Storoschuk

Had a work night dinner with some out of country guests and oh my goodness did this restaurant went above and beyond. Attentive service, fully could accommodate the menu for each dietary allergy (dairy and gluten), and had an amazing variety of options from land sea and farm. A bit of a spend but it was worth it for a lovely night out, and the ambiance was divine.

Steve T

Outstanding service and fantastic Gluten free offerings! Dedicated fryer and Fin the manager was great!

Alex Niro

Fantastic experience. I am celiac and was accommodated very well; most of the menu is safe for gluten free. Great service and the food is some of the best in the city, easily.

Tatiana Grigorieva

Friendly service. Good variety of gluten free pastries.

Cassia Attard

Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The pistachio is to die for. Same with the Sicilia flavour (mascarpone and pistachio). The vegan chocolate is amazing. They’re so friendly and let you sample 2 flavours. They have so much other stuff too - cakes, cannolies, pies, gluten free cookies.

Delly Abolfazli

We came here for my best friends birthday & we were served by Robin (Robyn?) who was the bestest server EVER! She took care of us for dinner and then arranged us to have the best corner booth right by the Dj! She was a great vibe & so attentive! My only bad feedback about the venue is PLEASE PLAY BETTER MUSIC love you everything else was perfect otherwise & my gluten free pizza was so delicious!!

Mario DiNillo

Delicious food... great service and even understood my celiac dietary needs.

Addison Clermont

Food was delicious, looked to me like the fish was made to order. Gluten free batter available was good, and a nice option for the gluten averse in our lives.

Kamryn Marck

This place is amazing. Couldn’t recommend it more. Our server Omar was kind, friendly, and attentive. I am gluten-free and dairy-free and had no trouble getting delicious authentic food! I’ll definitely be back when I’m in Toronto again.

Kassy

Mentioned to our waiter Conner around 3:50 our daughter had a gluten allergy. He came out with a snack tray with crackers that had gluten. Very annoyed at his behaviour and this miss as her face now is covered in a rash as the other food was cross contaminated

Steve Burling

The atmosphere and service was great! Unfortunately we ordered what I hope is the worst thing on the menu - the lobster burger. We both had friends share mixed reviews on the burger, my partner has said it wasn’t tasty. But of course we both still wanted to try, it just sounds too good! We should have listened. There is zero flavour in these burgers, even the melted cheese had no flavour. Didn’t even taste like lobster. Im not sure what I expected but it wasn’t that. Im still rating a 3 because friends really enjoyed their other foods and the sweet potato fries and breaded shrimp appetizer was great and the deserts were really tasty. Love that they have gluten friendly options as well. We will be back to try other items on the menu we heard were great. Please set your expectations though if you get the lobster burger, we really aren’t sure how this is a regular menu item. Will amend review if the other food is great when we go back to try something new as it clearly has some positive reviews!

Kash Arora

Great service, and good food! No complaints :) I got the Mediterranean Shakshuka and the Landwer Iced Tea. The Shakshuka was pretty standard although I wish it was a bit warmer because the eggs were a tad bit too runny. I got the Shakshuka with gluten free bread but it was just standard grocery store toast lol. However, the tea was delicious and refreshing! No wait time on a weekday lunch which was SO surprising considering this place is always packed. Highly recommend joining the waitlist before going to the restaurant to avoid long wait times.

Dylan Shukster

Best restaurant, food is absolutely amazing and good vibes. I am celiac and they are very knowledgeable and have a lot of gluten free options that have no cross contamination at all. Would highly recommend!

Giovanni Sgroi

My girlfriend and I had dinner here, and we absolutely loved it! The atmosphere and vibe of the place are fantastic, perfect for a relaxed night with great food and drinks. We tried several dishes and fell in love with their guacamole and tacos al pastor, both absolutely delicious! The birria tacos were also very good, slightly saltier than what we’re used to, but perfectly balanced with a yuzu pale ale: refreshing sourness after every bite. Another big plus? Great prices for the quality of food and drinks! It’s rare to find such amazing flavors at such reasonable prices. Great gluten-free options, even for dessert! A special shout-out to our server, who was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. Can’t wait to come back when the weather is nicer to enjoy the outdoor patio with one of their signature drinks!

Alex Andro

I can't usually eat Asian food, due to having celiac disease, but I was DELIGHTED to see a page in the menu with dedicated, gluten-free entrees! I had never been able to try soondubu before, so I jumped on the chance, though I had no idea this would be a spicy dish 🔥🥵. I also got the "mild" japche, which I shared with my partner. Everything was DELICIOUS and I was so grateful with how the owners made it their personal mission to ensure that my food would be safe for me to eat. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for Korean food, especially if someone in their party had food allergies like myself. I even got pork fried rice to go, and it was delicious too!

Cassia A

Great arepa honestly. Maybe a bit overpriced but there’s a lotttt of meat in there - they’re really stuffed. It’s an amazing gluten free option. Very fast and very delicious. Portable so you can eat it on the train. Filling. Great spot.

Catherine Nikkel

While waiting for our ice cream in the same location, we couldn't help but order a pizza to go. Everything smelled amazing and it seemed rather busy (always a good sign) Menu is fun as far as names go, and I appreciate a brand who puts some creative twists into things! We were not disappointed. 2 small pizzas to go, one was gluten free and I'm told was amazing. Crust was fresh, fluffy, ingredients taste fresh + pricing is great for made to order "different" types of pizzas. Definitely worth going to try it out!

Cassia A

Honestly worth waiting for. We waited around 30 minutes on a Friday night in May and it was fire. The mango pudding, toasted pineapples, and totaro (taro) are delicious. The miso cherry was wayyyy too salty and not good honestly. The cookies smell amazing! And they have gluten free cookies too. The line actually doesn’t move as fast as I’d expect it to. At 8:45 they had only run out of 2 flavours.

I do not recommend the coffee at Aroma (particularly when there are so many great coffee places nearby). They have a variety of food offerings, including a lot of healthy salads, sandwiches and breakfasts. They are also pretty accommodatjng and are one of the only places in the Path to offer gluten free bread. Only complaint is the $1.75 gf charge to a $2.50 order of toast - kind of high for 2 slices of bread.

Raghu Bisht

We had an amazing experience at khau gully for an annual client get-together. The service was fantastic — super attentive and friendly — and the team went out of their way to make the last night special, and even tailored dishes to accommodate a few guests with food preferences and restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, etc.) while still being flawless with the execution. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. You could really tell how much care went into the food and service. Our clients were extremely impressed and everyone can’t wait to return. Highly recommend.

Tym Cooper

They carry Gluten free buns which is awesome!

Dylan Shukster

Good place to eat, rave vibes. Good for gluten free.

Lesley Davies

The lack of gluten free options was disappointing

Aarti Arora

TL;DR: Visited Casa Manila a few weeks ago, excited to try a new cuisine. Staff assured me dishes were gluten-free — they weren’t. I got sick. When I raised it, management dismissed my concerns and showed no accountability. They also spoiled my birthday surprise by mentioning the expected cake with candle. Extremely disappointing. If you have dietary restrictions, avoid this place. ----- I visited Casa Manila for the first time and was excited to try a new cuisine. I appreciated the time and care they seemed to put into maintaining a well-labelled menu. My sister arrived before I did and arranged for a candle to be added to the free birthday ice cream for me. The server told me about the surprise ahead of time, spoiling it, but I was still looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, the staff misguided me on what was gluten-free. Server 1 said they could accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free and that the adobo could be made gluten-free, after confirming with the kitchen. Server 2 said everything was fine except the jasmine rice, which was odd, but he confirmed after checking that the rice vermicelli could be made gluten-free. After eating, I started feeling off and asked whether the dishes used soy sauce. Server 2 admitted they did, and I had to explain that regular soy sauce contains gluten unless a gluten-free version is used. He clearly didn’t know what he was talking about, so I requested the chef come out. A lady came and instead of addressing the issue seriously, asked if I was just feeling "guilty" for eating gluten. I explained it’s a medical issue and that I was misled despite asking directly. She said customers are responsible for reading labels, but servers should not confidently recommend unsafe options. She admitted they had never dealt with this situation before. I asked what they could do for me, but she offered no solution. I told her I wouldn’t be paying and left. I cradled a bad stomachache and prepared for the onset of hives. Extremely disappointed. If you have any dietary restrictions, be very careful — or better yet, go somewhere else.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR GLUTEN FREE $2 surcharge for the smallest piece of gluten free bread I've seen in 15 years - this coupled with the fact their homemade fries are done in the same oil as items containing wheat so I couldn't have them. I even asked for a second slice of bread and was told I couldn't have it. The brunch should include tea or coffee which was not provided either and still charged. Also the Shakshouka was too sweet (and too spicy) - the latter I can give some as that can be preference, but why so much sweetness. For almost $24, no potatoes or drink and a very small slice of bread (which bread is already included in the dish) - Definitely not worth the money in these times.

Catharina Elizabeth

I want to give six stars. This place is amazing. They are very knowledgeable and considerate about gluten allergy. We tried a lot different things on the menu and they were all great. Thank you so much, we'll be back to try the rest of the menu soon.

Allen Vaysberg

Are here twice for dinner and both times were delicious. Fantastic caring service, great ambiance, and a TON of gluten free options.

stephan kewarth

Being dairy sensitive, it's wonderful to find a place with several dairy-free options! And they were delicious! Staff is awesome too. They also offer gluten-free options. This will be my go-to place this summer!

i cruzito

Excellent burger joint, with great service, in the heart of Kensington market. Got the single patty combo, and my friend got a smash burger on fries - a gluten free option. Recommend.
