Not celiac safe. Cross contamination.

What a fantastic place to have dinner! The service was outstanding—worthy of 10 stars—and the food was simply divine. There are many gluten-free options available, including a dedicated gluten-free menu. We ordered the nachos, and wow, I never thought nachos could taste this good! Every meal that was served was absolutely mouthwatering.

Cassandra is a peach! I have a gluten allergy and she was very accommodating and personally made sure my meal was safe for me!

White We came here for a quick lunch as we knew the food was reliable. They didn’t disappoint as we all gobbled up our food after a day of moving. We ordered the seafood fettuccine, beef dip & avocado impossible burger. The avocado burger was a nice change & wouldn’t hesitate to order it again. With all burgers you can choose to have it wrapped in lettuce instead of the bun. There’s gluten free past too. Service was decent considering they were busy & short staffed. Great experience!

Justin Malhi

Gluten free options that are actually good! Very tasty and satisfying meal! Everything was delicious!

As a local I go here frequently, there are not a lot of choices in Deep Cove and for sure we are lucky to have Arms Reach. Although it's not as busy in the winter its enough to make the atmosphere what it needs to be for a rainy winter night - cosy. It's not the cheapest option but you know your going to have a quality dining experience and a good time, every time and that is worth the price. I do occasionally get a bit bored of the menu, but that is because I'm there quite a bit and have gluten sensitivity - and the specials do help out with some extra variety. For sure worth a visit, book in the summer or expect an hour plus wait, due to its place by the ocean in the heart of Deepcove.

I’ve been to white spot many times in my life, but this experience was one of my favourites. We had a server named Gemma, she was fun and very sweet to my two sons. We recently discovered that one of my sons has a gluten allergy, and Gemma was very helpful in finding all the options for him, and reassuring she would let the kitchen know. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday brunch with my family.

Deanne Nielsen

Great options for gluten free diets! Hopefully some gluten free beers come into rotation soon!

Karen Oh

Great gluten free options and an amazing staff who are very aware of cross contamination.

Although we were more recently at the Lynn Valley location (which was also great), we have had many good experiences at this location. A really big shoutout to Darcy (because even though he shared he is usually at the Upper Lonsdale location he was at the Lynn Valley location today). He was attentive and thoughtful regarding a gluten allergy and went a step beyond by providing the gluten free brownie dessert after a really lovely meal and shared how he knows it isn’t always easy to come across a nice gluten free dessert. It was such a wonderful and thoughtful detail that went a long way for us. These are moments that make a customer feel special and cared for - and unashamed despite dietary restrictions/allergies. I wish for everyone who is impacted by food allergies and restrictions to be treated with such kindness, respect, and in this case, additional generosity. Thank you, Darcy and Brown’s for a really wonderful experience.

Olivia Lang

Hands down some of the best gluten free pizza in the Metro Vancouver! Such a squishy, buttery, chewy crust that it's hard to believe it's gluten free. The brussel sprout pizza is uniquely delicious. Definitely worth the drive to Deep Cove.

I am on the search for restaurants that offer GF anything. (I am not celiac). I was pleasantly surprised to see they had GF buns on offer for the burger ($3 up charge). With this up charge my expectations were high. When the burger arrived it looked unusual with white spots on the top, shriveled and flat. All for research I thought give it shot… it was horrible the bun was freezer burned, the beef in the burger was dry and bland, no sauce! thank goodness for ketchup that I added! I would say this was the worst burger ever! I let the waiter know it was horrible. His comment was I will let the “chef” know and then started to explain to me how buns get freezer burn! He missed one point it properly was at the bottom of the freezer for a VERY long time. If you can’t serve a good GF bun don’t offer it! The burger for $25 not worth the price every with out the GF. As I ate the beef only. I should have complained more but I did not A word to the chef/cook If it’s freezer burned don’t serve it!

Rebecca Martz

We loved our dinner here. I had the salmon plate, which was Gluten free. It was cooked to perfection and the potatoes with the mustard sauce were absolutely divine. My husband had the Canadian AAA steak; mouthwatering!! It was perfect for us that it was in the Bridge park, while it may have been more pricey for that reason, it was beyond convenient!

Hsieh Karen

We came for lunch with 2 young children, and one of my boys is allergic to gluten. The staff was very friendly to let us know that they could tailor some dishes to gluten-free. Although it took a while for the dishes to be served, we really enjoyed the dishes.My boys ate lots. We also got a scoop of strawberry Gelato to go.The gelato for sure was the icing on the cake! If we are around next time, definitely would like to try out other dishes. *Excuse for the first photo, cause my kids can't wait to dig in.

Darya Ostad

Sophia was our server and she was amazing! Like a fairy that comes to your table and gives you everything you need (: Food was great — not easy to find good gluten free pizza! I like the lighting for the atmosphere. It’s a cozy and intimate spot Will def visit again.

Kitchen Star

Very nice bbq place with very friendly staff, accommodated all our gluten free needs.

Farhan Baig

Never had such great service!!! We told them this is our first time and they gave us lots of samples. Sweet or savory, something for everyone. Even gluten free cones!!

Ava O’Loughlin

Amazing sushi. I ordered takeout…I am a celiac and they called me saying a part of my order wasn’t able to be made gluten free, they were very helpful to come up with a substitute.

Donovan Voigt

Burgoo was able to coordinate a gluten friendly experience (celiac) over the phone when Uber failed!! Thanks so much to the wonderful person I spoke to. This tomato soup cured my depression…

Henry Friesen

Gluten-free options, so that's nice. That is where the nice ends... While I was sitting, waiting for my food, my friends joined me to wait with me with their food from another shop. Staff comes out and kicks them out. So, they stand on the sidewalk by the street, waiting for me to get my food. Staff comes out and says they cannot stand on the sidewalk. "We own the sidewalk, so you cannot stand there." Never mind the fact that my food took ten times longer than my friends' food, but now they cannot stand on a public space while I wait for my stuff? Also, never mind that my friends bought donuts here, can't mix and match, I suppose... kinda ridiculous. Rude policies. Basic food. Unfortunate vibe.

Michelle Lackie

We love this place. Two of the three of us are celiac and are able to enjoy dinner without worrying about cross contamination. GF fryer! Highly recommended. And it is great fish and chips whether you’re celiac or not. Parham the manager is super nice and friendly.

Catriona Convey

Great option for Gluten free. Only place in thr Quay.

The Plant-Based Yogini

I love that I got a fully vegan experience with vegan gluten-free sausages , fries and rocket salad with an interesting crushed candied-walnut topping. We were very pleased with our attentive and kind host Shayan. Do yourself a favor and hit this joint today. You will be well-taken care of. Now isn’t that what we all want?

Cael Tompai

Gluten free options. Friendly locals. Awesome serving staff. Wifi for business meetings.

This is my go to place to eat when I am starving and know the food is reliable. I had their usual fish burger with salad. If you have an aversion to gluten or bread, ask to have the burger wrapped in lettuce. A bit messy but worth it. There are other food choices but if you’re a legendary burger fan, go for it! With the times of inflation, consider their happy hour from 2 – 5 pm and after 8 pm every day. A good selection of beer, bellinis’ or wine. There’s 3 categories of various appies at $6, $8, $10. They also have daily drink specials depending on the day of the week such as ‘Tapped Tuesdays’ - $1 off Nat’s on Tap. Regardless you can’t go wrong at any White Spot. Service was prompt and efficient.

So far every time I've gone, I get a genuine friendly smile and greeting and always have something that is consistently tasty. A great option for celiac people as well!

Karolla Romero

Always great and safe for celiacs!

The first challenge is finding this place. The sign is J and a fish stylized to look like a script letter l. It has an unimpressive exterior, so it's easy to miss. They maintain very good sanitation and safety protocols. They have tasty and fresh sushi which only comes from using the freshest fish. The miso soup has a balance of ingredients that give it umami. It's one of the few miso soups outside Japan that have "hu" a light weight gluten bread. I had the spicy combo: spicy scallop roll, spicy tuna roll and a spicy salmon roll. I also ordered an oyako donburi for take home. It also had very good presentation

Justin Barns

Some very nice staff, good portion sizes and helps cater to gluten free options

Gillaneh grill house opened its first location in 2013 located in Pemberton Ave. North Vancouver, and its second location in 2018 and in Denman st. west end Vancouver. since then, our skilled chefs has been serving both quality interpretations of classic Persian dishes and daring new ventures into the uncharted territories of grilled skewers. Gillaneh's menu, made by the best Persian chefs, reflects the tastiness of the Persian kebabs, especially the sour tenderloin “Torsh” kebab, and those unforgettable smells of the traditional stew, like Ghorme sabzi and Fesenjun. here in Gillaneh, we have plenty of meaty seasoned grilled skewers you can choose from, and also lots of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. see our menu below for details and order online now through one the major platforms.

A hidden gem! Fancy restaurant quality food, with average to low prices in a friendly, relax atmosphere. Fresh bread made on the premise right in front of you & the lovely REAL high quality Iranian saffron dishes & deserts; oh, absolutely FABULOUS! I always think about how many centuries old the recipes are! The quality & taste of the food has been upgraded & the prices remained affordable. ALI, the kind new manager/owner is a highly educated, very polite & kind gentleman who has passion for food & treats both his customers & his staff with utmost respect & gratitude. He showed me the REAL high quality Iranian SAFFRON he purchases to use in the food made on the premise & once I tried the food & the luscious Saffron desert, "Sholezard", I became highly impressed & could taste the great difference between how food tasted before he took over and the present time, under his management. Ali never allows farmed salmon in his restaurant's kitchen. When I tasted their new & improved Salmon Kabob made with local WILD SALMON, I got hooked. There you have it: quite reasonably priced, tastier & healthier Salmon Kabobs - which I love with their flavorful Fava bean or plain rice Basmati rice - & grilled vegetables in this laid back restaurant. You must also try their incredible Aash Reshteh {Persian Borscht} & their house made stews which you can have either with meat or vegetarian. The Saffron desert called, "SHOLEZARD", they make on the premise, is absolutely SUPERB! This SCRUMPTIOUS desert is gluten free, dairy free, low in sugar & I consider it a sort of NATURAL ANTIDEPRESSANT as the high quality saffron used in it, is an aphrodisiac itself. And hey, we can always use some sunshine in this beautiful, cheerful yellow desert in the rainy Vancouver ;-) All of their kabobs & stews are truly delectable & It's an added bonus that they also have vegetarian options so if you come to the restaurant with a group of people with various food preferences, you all can have great food according to your tastes. The list of the outstanding food & goodies they have is long, but no worries; they have a large wall menu with photos as well as regular menus that depict the dishes. Their friendly staff are always helpful if you have questions or any concerns. ** Don't forget that f you love fresh aromatic bread made in a traditional Persian brick oven, right there & immediately after you order it, you're going to LOVE the fat free, hot, FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN BREAD they make that is sure quite a delight for your taste buds ** All in all, what a wonderful change in the quality of the food since the new manager Ali' has taken over! Their wonderful cooks & the rest of the staff members are very nice & attentive as well. They get quite busy most of the times, yet they always have smile on their faces & work with all of their kind hearts. I would like to extend my hand in appreciation to Ali & each of his wonderful, hard working staff for their efforts in making everything better & create fabulous Persian food experience for all of us. They've also been amazing when they catered to our parties & the guests absolutely loved & enjoyed the food. Now we can say that we have an awesome place in British Columbia for Persian food where you will come back to once you try their delicious, high quality food. I wish them all the best.

Just had the juiciest burger and buffalo wings that made my taste buds do a happy dance! If you’re not afraid to loosen your belt, this place is a must! Btw I’m gluten free so they made me a lettuce-wrapped burger!

Emily Naccarato

One of my favourite spots to eat on Lonsdale. It’s a great value for very decent food. The portions are very big and there are lots of gluten free options.

H J

The pastas are great! If you suffer from any gluten sensitivities I would recommend the gluten free option. The reason for the 4 star is you feel a bit cramped in there due to the space. The staff are consistent.

Amber Easton

Lovely boutique feel, great service, even when they are busy( brunch).They have scaled back on their gluten free options, but will accommodate reasonable requests. Suggest calling ahead to check with them if you are celiac. I was disappointed that their eggs were not free range or organic.... but overall really great. Will definitely go back for dinner, looks like they have award winning wines as well.

Thomas Clemmer

We love the food here, and we come often. The menu isn't deep, but it's always tasty and as authentic as you will find in Canada. I did prefer their old chicken recipe to the current one. Gluten-free is available. The regular stools and tables are bit too low.
