Top 50 Gluten-Free Dining Spots Across Central Vancouver

Peter Hall

Amazing gluten free pastries and tea and coffee and selection of books and magazines. Excellent service.

Ivo S

So many amazing GF options - almost 90% of the menu is naturally or can be made GF!

Lana Fedora

In heaven. Most items are or can be made safe for celiac. Had the Yum Bowl…sooooo good. The best part though? GLUTEN FREE ONION RINGS. They were just incredible. If you’re able, come down and chow down. It’s definitely worth it.

Food was… overall very salty. Not sure if this is how it is suppose to be but from antipasti to pastas, they were all honestly quite salty. Ingredients may be fresh which we would like to appreciate but they are just too salty to be enjoyed. On the other hand, the service was great with solid gluten free options.

Sean McEvoy

Subpar vegan cheeses and gluten free pizza. Good garlic knots. Overrated and costly for low quality food

Lambda Faun

This is a completely unprecedented gluten-free haven. The last time I had a gluten free pizza, it was getting close to 40$ for one small one. Here, I paid 20$ and could hardly finish it I was so full (and I'm 150 KG). Loaded with flavour and protein, and as a bonus it was keto. I had a gluten-free keto tiramisu, and it was everything you could possibly ask for from a tiramisu. Perfect. This place is a must-see for anyone following a gluten free, keto, or really any alternative diet. As a celiac of 16 years, this place has my blessing.

Cassie D

Was nice but not great. Gf options for burgers, including having lettuce cups instead of bread, which was so tasty! My chips were cold and they forgot my partner’s chips so not the greatest but not terrible (burger was yum)

Tiera Harrison

Tiffany was super nice and attentive. Food tasted so nice, the gluten free burger buns stayed together and the farmers market salad was delicious. Second time we’ve been and it’s 5 ⭐️ again

Lindsey Johnston

Had a great first experience here today. They are especially accommodating for Gluten free options.

Vikram S

This place is a hidden gem. A women owned business which serves delicious vegan options. Restaurant does not have huge seating space but can accommodate a group of 6-8. We tried Bombay Bad Boy pizza and were surprised with flavor. I will highly recommend trying "Almond Cassava" crust; it is gluten free but not too hard or crispy. Definitely worth visiting if you are vegan/vegetarian food lover or, interested in trying vegan food.

Simrit Baljot

Came here with my girlfriend for lunch and Jody was absolutely wonderful. Treated us with so much kindness and had so much patience for my gluten free diet. Above all, her energy was magnetic - she was an absolute pleasure. I would come back just because of her!

Jag Grewal

Phenomenal pizza, very friendly service, gf has celiac allergy, restaurant takes proper care in minimizing cross contamination, the gluten-free crust was delicous, highly recommend. However, they are very busy. When booking a reservation, it is at least a week beforehand if you are trying to go on Friday/Saturday.

Jenna Francis

This pizza shop has gluten friendly/gluten free options. I was told they it’s not celiac safe options.

Meghan Houlihan

Our server was amazing and food was to die for - gluten free or not, best pasta and selection in the area! Would HIGHLY recommend :-) Thank you Trevor for hooking us up!

Alyssa Clayton

Tom was amazing. I have celiac disease and he answered all my questions, advised me what to avoid and double checked with the chef to make sure every thing was safe. Felt very comfortable eating here, will definitely go back. Great service and great food

Katie Simpson

Overall, a wonderful restaurant! The food is delicious, and so many gluten free options. Most options are dairy free, too. I appreciated this so much I came back 3 times in a week! Be sure to order toum (Lebanese garlic sauce) with your food. It is the best!!!! Only reason I’m docking a star is service related. I ordered for pickup to eat in my hotel room, and two out of three times they failed to include the cutlery, despite me both checking the box for cutlery, and also putting in the comments. Staying in a hotel, you don’t have access to cutlery, so please be sure to pay attention to customers who request it and provide it for them!! Didn’t eat in the restaurant, but it is beautiful inside :)

Not celiac safe like they say they are. Had a very bad reaction after eating here. The manager is also rude and condescending. Save your money and go literally anywhere else. One of the lower scores restaurants in the area, lower than old spaghetti factory and that’s saying a lot!

M Wi

Polite service. Good selection, including gluten-free options. A good concept for a chain.

abby scott

kiona was our server on a date night and we have nothing but amazing things to say about her!! She was sooooo accommodating to our gluten allergy and just all around a friendly, positive, and helpful person. I would come back JUST to have Kiona as my server.

A M

Came here yesterday for a quick appetizer and drink. Separate deep fryer for those needing gluten free options!

Aislinn Flanagan

I’ve always loved coming here. Today was probably my 6th-8th visit, and I can say with confidence that Hello Nori is very consistent. The yellowtail hand roll with Shiso leaf added is my favourite. The by the glass sake options are great and they all pair well with the rolls. Lisa was my server today and she was excellent. She checked in lots and made sure that the chef was aware of my gluten intolerance. Gold star for Hello Nori, I will be back!

catherine heith

Great place for those with celiac disease or a gluten allergy. I received GF bread and many of the dishes are or can be made GF. They have GF appetizers, pasta, risotto and GF dessert. The service was great.

chloe kf

Amazing service, ambiance & food! Accommodated gluten free so well! Very cozy! Great drinks also!

Natasha Chan

Loved our experience at Minami - we had a bunch of dietary restrictions and were celebrating our wedding which they thoughtfully provided us with a surprise dairy free/ gluten free dessert 🙏🏼 service was excellent, we loved the aburis, brussel sprouts (try it!) and how fresh the sashimi was!

Christopher Fairhurst

Our turbulent first night in Vancouver with hotel issues was saved by the Cactus Club Cafe. We missed our booking due to the issues, but we were helped by great staff who told us we could sit at the bar to eat. The bartenders were amazing, the drinks excellent and the food was amazing with great options for vegan and gluten free. Highly recommended.

Have been missing Red Robins since they closed all their Alberta locations! If you have any food restrictions, don't look at their allergen menu online, just ask your server. I have celiac and it was showing almost everything to have gluten, even the beef burger patties. Luckily that was not the actual case! Server was knowledgeable about what sauces and ingredients had gluten, and shared that fries can be made in a dedicated gluten free fryer. My meal also came out with the purple allergen stick. I do however have to take stars off for the physical aspects of the location...menu had several sticky spots, carpet looked filthy and sticky, bathroom floors were even stickier! Very unappealing and makes you wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. We were in a booth and the back of the seat would move from both sides, uncomfortable when people are sitting on both sides and it kept moving! Service was also quite slow, especially considering it was lunchtime on a weekday and there were not many other customers present

Nikita Crane

A definite treat dinner due to its higher cost but knowledgeable servers and happy to make amendments to offer GF options

Jaceyproudfoot

Fabulousl gluten free options! Great location and exceptional food. High quality ingredients. All the food coming from the kitchen looked outstanding! Can't wait to return! Check out the cool street view!

Katya Askar

"The waiter and service was superb! I can’t have gluten and they were so accommodating and knowledgeable, I had the scallops and they were amazing! Plus they called us a cab, just love the added service.

Martin Howley

We had a great meal in Coast. Great fish dishes and excellent help from our server Micheal who advised on adapting dishes to be gluten friendly. Excellent service.

Yotam Cohen

Sarah is an amazing waitress. So kind and sweet. She was really knowledgeable and helpful with my girlfriend’s gluten allergy. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.

Camila K

🍍🍗 Banana Leaf at Robson is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. The food is delicious, with several gluten-free options, making it perfect for people with dietary restrictions. 🌾✨ The service is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere of the place is cozy and pleasant. You can't miss the Pineapple Seafood Chicken Fried Rice, a unique combination full of flavor, and the Chicken Satay Skewers, simply spectacular! 🍚🍤🥢 A culinary experience you can't miss in Vancouver. Highly recommended! 🌟🍽️

Kyla Ragan

I really enjoyed the service here. The waiter and manager were both wonderful. The food was delicious and fun to try something different on a plant based diet. Had lots of selection for vegan and gluten free.

Vancouver Virology Centre

Absolutely my favorite quick stop for lunch & dinner. Healthy delicious food made fresh daily suite my need. I recommend the Cali Veg flavor (GF,DF) for people who are celiac.

Jemma Lee

First time here was a great experience. Nice atmosphere and window views, wonderful service from Kurtis, menu has a great selection of food, the burgers are really good, as well as the prawn laksa curry and chipotle mango chicken, some nice gluten free options! I hope one day they can have a gluten conscious option for the Chicken Madeira Rigatoni because it’s the best pasta of all time. They also have happy hour on a Friday night! Can’t wait to come back!

Anzor Barsik

The best halal option in the lower mainland hands down. They even have gluten free options like the birria tacos. The cheesesteak is incredible and their truffle fries are a must. Whenever someone visits Vancouver and they ask me where to eat, this is always my first recommendation. The best in town.

Hirsch (waz)

Food was very good. Every dish was interesting. Many Gluten free and dairy free options which is a requirement for my family. Once the order was in, our waiter was hard to find. Unfortunately the kitchen screwed up the timing on the veggies which only arrived after we had consumed the main course. In mitigation, the manager apologized profusely (twice) and the items were removed from the bill.

Aman Darred

Brunch was nothing special but the restaurant offers a casual/fun vibe in a premier venue. Service was also great. Fish and chips were great and were gluten free.

KERP Photography

Never disappointed. The food is very good and service is same or better. At least under my experience. As a celiac, I feel very safe woth the gluten free selection they offer.

Christopher Lim

Made only gluten free menu order with gluten free bun selected. Food came in a wheat brioche bun. Kitchen paid zero atrention to the order ticket. I expected more from cactus.

Olivia O'Rourke

We order from cactus at LEAST once a week - but typically order from a different location. The hot pickles were fatty, cold, and they did not include dip. They were poorly dressed. The zen roll seemed to have had the taro on top swapped out for wontons (which I can’t eat because I’m gluten free). Both went into the garbage. We called, but after 10 minutes on hold no one answered. Surprising for a quiet Sunday night. Absolutely will not return or order again from this location. Poor service. Go to a different location!

Aviva Mirsky

Went here for gluten free and it’s awesome!

Pelumi Dada (styledbypelumi)

I came here with some friends for lunch. I ordered the Teriyaki Bowl and the Sweet Potato Fries. They have vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options, which is nice. I enjoyed my meal, the teriyaki bowl was flavourful and the rice in it was soft but not mushy. I also liked how the fries were crispy and well seasoned. Our server didn’t really check in on us after the food arrived and we had to ask for our water and drinks to be refilled. Other than that, our food came out within a reasonable time and it was a pretty good experience overall.

Shahdad Samimi

Great Smoked Salmon Benedict for brunch. The coffee wasn't the best but they were able to accommodate gluten-free options. Substitute bread for more potatoes but they can't guarantee cross contamination it seemed like so if you are severely celiac just consider that.

Taylor Revert

This place was bomb. The staff were so lovely and attentive - I heard our waiter speak at least three different languages fluently. They have a whole gluten-free menu which is pretty much unheard of for a Chinese restaurant. The food was wonderful, the drinks were wonderful, the vibe was wonderful.

Pavan S

Beautiful space! Able to accommodate celiac friendly meal and suggested substitutions! Delicious but small portions

Ron Edgar

We had a great meal with amazing service. the rib eyes were cooked perfectly and they were able to accommodate a gluten allergy with a variety of options. Highly recommended!

Christopher Best

A gluten free poutine stand! How great! The poutine portions are very generous and my daughter was very happy with the hot dog. The pulled pork was super tasty. The drink selection was a little disappointing but we got drinks from another stand in the food court.

Friederike Hoffmann

For me - who has to eat gluten free - a great sandwich!! As always, a little extra charge ($2) but delicious! Thanks!!
