Absolutely worth going to. Yes my short review is biased, but if you read the longer version below. It’ll make sense. Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Speed: 10/10 For the longer review - those who care to read: I won't pretend the restaurant is like a five-star hotel. In comparison to your top high-end luxury restaurants, it would be four stars. But you can't compare apples to oranges. The one most crucial thing to note is the belief, the idea, and the story behind the restaurant. They are specially tailored to people who have strict allergy requirements. My personal needs are to avoid gluten, nuts, egg, and more. Try that anywhere else…. Most places will just "nicely" shoo you away—and while I understand any restaurant ultimately is a business to cater to the masses, those of us who have strict, deathly dietary requirements can finally experience a place to dine without fear. To enjoy a time with family and friends eating the same things. To experience the fun and joy of picking at another person's plate. For those reasons, and to me, it's better than any Michelin-star restaurant. If you have allergies to gluten, if you have celiac disease, you can finally share the experience too. You may come out an emotional train wreck like me.

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.

This place was incredible!!! We looked for a safe gf place for our celiac daughter, and this one was such a treat in that it is all gf. But even more amazing was the healthy, plentiful and incredibly tasty meals we had. We left fully satisfied and it kept us going for a very long time. Amazing service as well. Would highly recommend! Thank you for giving us an amazing meal. We hope for Impact restaurants to come to Vancouver, our home.

Absolutely LOVE this spot, have eaten in-restaurant twice over the last year, and ordered delivery multiple times, with someone Celiac at home we have NEVER had any issues with gluten! Food is delicious and fresh, service is spectacular, honestly absolutely love this place! We’ve had oysters, fish & chips, tacos, poutine (also a fan of their vegan options for poutine, garlic aioli and tartar sauce!), their deep fried Oreos are to die for, and the selections for beers and drinks are always nice! (Ps, sorry for the almost demolished food pic, have tried and failed to take a picture before digging in for almost a year now)

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!!!

Christina Stair

Fantastic service, they were so kind and happy to help us when we visited. Food was amazing, and everything can be prepared gluten free in dedicated appliances so there is no crosscontamination. Would definitely come back if we are in town!

Krystal Campioni

Very good gluten free pizza! Shared it with my non gluten intolerant wife and she loved it too! There’s cross contamination though, so not celiac friendly

Vaidehi Patel

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!

Ashlee L

Very accommodating for celiac

Meag Moar

Visiting Toronto from US. This is our first time at a Burger’s Priest and it will definitely not be the last. We are so thoroughly impressed with how delicious the food was here. We thought it was going to be like any other fast food burger joint, but it was definitely better. We ordered burgers, fries, a hotdog, and a milkshake. All delicious. We have a gluten allergy in the family and the gluten-free bread was so much better than any they’ve had.Nina greeted us with a huge smile and was super accommodating

Stephanie

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.

Ashley Capern

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

Michelle De Berardinis

Amazing momos with gluten free options. The staff were very nice and the broth and butter tea were a nice addition. Great atmosphere too.

The Bread Essentials

The Gluten Free Tabulé and the pita bread was great! Everything I had was Gluten Free and we all had a great dinner and evening, we even purchased Kefte to cook at home.

Krystle Manintveld

Food is decent. It's great that they have a gluten free eggs benny. Potatoes were definitely undercooked. It is always busy and a zoo to get in - not necessarily worth the wait to get in.

Jennifer Iacono

Amazing lamb!!! Great gluten-free wraps, too!

Ryley N

Lots of delicious gluten free options! In fact, they have an entire gluten free menu and they are highly knowledgeable about it! The breakfast menu is my favourite :)

Jodi Kipp

Great place for gluten & dairy free food!!

Maddie Todd

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

Harsh Brar

I recently visited the burger priest and had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was top-notch. The Specially gluten free was amazing and were particularly impressive, making the visit memorable. And they were top of my allergy note. A big shoutout to KOMAL for recommending this spot and burgwr. Hardly restaurant have gluten free burger but i really love the gluten bun and always priest burger is the best burger it truly exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to returning soon!"

Madelaine Espinosa

Food was really good! Love that everything is gluten free. Rudi was really nice!!

Ellen Musgrove

nice place , clean and it’s nice to know it’s fully gluten free

Michael Deverill

Bohemian and nostalgic to the easy Rider, movie and movies of that era. Very relaxed and comfortable and the fusion Mexican food was excellent. Insanely good gluten-free waffles!

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!

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.

Joel Abram

Our server Karan was so great and fantastic and was so knowledgeable about the menu. The food was pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. We were especially excited about the gluten free options and the first good gluten free poutine we've seen in years. The milkshake was delicioso yum yum yum yum. The rooftop patio was skibbity.

Gabrielle Watson

Unfortunately they ran out of the food I really wanted to try (the achiote chicken quesadilla), but the rancheros were really good anyways. Loved the homemade hot sauce and ketchup as well. My partner and friend thought their iced coffee was a little watered down tasting/not strong enough, but even for them the food made up for it. They had the brisket hash. Really cute place, the patio looked like a nice set up as well. Good options for people who eat vegetarian and gluten free. Service was friendly and attentive as well!

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.

Bev Ruffo

Happy bustling little spot, very cheerful. They dealt with food intolerance very well. I had gluten-free, dairy free French toast - yum!

Shaily S Burmi

It’s a great experience to watch show and eat at the same time! Great escape to a totally different environment. Food is well served with good options if you wanted like gluten free or vegetarian etc! Must watch

Francis Nasca

This is the best gluten free pizza I’ve ever had! They are very friendly and accommodating when we dine with our wily toddler. #ContestEntry

Helen Thomas

Had a wonderful experience this weekend with Babs the Bartender! The cocktails she made were impeccable, my absolute favourite was the Watermelon Sling. As someone who is also gluten-free, Babs knows the menu inside and out and recommended the Blackened Chicken Sandwich protein style with the LPE salad. (had not regrets!) Will definitely be coming back, thanks Babs!

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.

Michaela Storoschuk

WOW. For a Thursday, what an experience. It was a vibrant, energetic dining experience. I have a gluten and dairy allergy. Worry? NEVER! The wait staff were diligent, caring and prompt. Immaculate. And all the food was a tasty lil treat to the palette. And BONUS… cocktail hour 😎

With how much Canada has changed since I was young, it's good that a place like The Old Spaghetti Factory survived the nonsense of the last 5 years. I met Beth after her work yesterday to enjoy the day, and we found our way to a Toronto icon. The nostalgia hit in a positive way. This place is like a time capsule: the old world Toronto esthetics, with the 3 course meal (soup/salad, main, ice cream) experience and the warm staff. Beth and I were extremely lucky as our server Mégane was hard working, fast, friendly, and personable. I honestly wish you the best in your desire to pursue acting as a profession. Always a smile and upbeat when in the carousel area you were serving. The other staff were working hard, but Mégane you were aces. The food was great. When chatting, we liked some of the options like there is a "factory size" for a modest upchage to make the portion bigger. There were some selections where you can get a gluten-free version for a reasonable charge for those who desire or need that. Who knows how Canada is going to look the next few years, but I do encourage enjoying the classic spots while we have them. #mabuhay ≈===============================≈ #everydayisablessing #singleinstructionlivekind #carryupthestruggling #foodisalovelanguage #DINNERWITHMYBESTIE #notasponsor #supportlocalbusiness #iconic

The food was excellent. The Caesar salad is really good. Lick the plate good. I had a gluten free pizza and it actually had a crunchy crust and dough like interior... Which never happens! Highly recommend that. Service on a Saturday night was snooty and hard to come by... But they did the job and it was busy as heck. However I did watch an empty table for four sit empty for about 30-45 minutes... While there were people lined up out the door. Interesting. Interior is nice looking and lots of room between tables which is appreciated. Less snooty like service would be even better... felt rushed. But the food was fab. Steak was also had, all plates were cleaned!!

Absolutely love eating here, the vibe is amazing and the staff are top tier! The food and atmosphere are so unique and as a Gluten Free Vegan who doesn't drink, trust me when I say this is a haven. I have been a few times so I have tried most of the food. Alot of the menu is already edible for me as is, but the majority of the menu can be accommodated to a vegan and/or gluten free diet which is amazing. The mocktails are equally fantastic. Watching the chefs at work in the open kitchen is the best, and the Management team and Madison in Events are always the most generous and accommodating. If you are so lucky to have service from Joseph, you will leave a very happy and full man! Can't wait to be back in the summer for Jungle Brunch!

Philip

They certainly have the best gluten free buns in Toronto

Alex Fecioru

Amazing place. Affordable pricing, generous portions and great service. I've been eating here about twice a week for a while now and I've not had a single bad experience. I love the chicken shawarma plate. I feel full but not bloated. Their rice pudding is incredible, and has a hint of roses in the flavour. Both are available as gluten free options. The inside is beautifully decorated. Very peaceful. They have leather seating and benches. I have taken my family here and we have had an incredible time.

Flyfisher Jo

As a Celiac, it can be difficult to find restaurants where I can safely eat. I dropped in to No Bull for lunch just to see if they could accommodate my diet and was amazed at just how prepared they were. The beef has no filler, they have gluten-free buns and they even have a dedicated fryer (which isn’t a perfect guarantee but I didn’t react to the fries). The server was cheerful and helpful, the food tasted great, I was only sorry the outside patio wasn’t opened because it was the first sunny day in a week! At least I have a safe place to eat in the Beach.

Michael Rowsell

A great place to go if you and your friends enjoy sci-fi/fantasy/horror themes. A lot of care and effort has gone into making it a fun place to have drinks and food. The staff and service have always been friendly and accommodating. One of our group is celiac and one is vegan and we have never had an issue.

Sarah Freia

As someone who is gluten free, and who often tries to minimize my dairy consumption, I am appreciative of Defina’s offerings! This pizzeria has gluten free bases, as well as well-thought out vegan toppings (they do change up). The gluten free dough is very good. It’s more fluffy as opposed to flat (I prefer this Neapolitan style of pizza). What I like most about Defina is their creative toppings. There really is something for everyone here! You want a regular margarita? Got it. You want a lot of cheese? Got it. You want chicken wings? Somehow - got it! The service has also always been friendly, attentive, and willing to talk me through my dietary needs. I also like the more intimate atmosphere, which makes it perfect for a date (friendship, romantic, or even self-dating). For a creative pizzeria that caters to multiple dietary restrictions, head over to Defina!

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!

Tristan Denobrega

Best gluten free poutine always made fresh for me !

Anya La

Everything was delicious, very accommodating of gluten free

Mary Gold

Delicious! Very gluten-free friendly -the staff take cross contamination seriously. It’s a great place for family gatherings. A must try is the best coffee ever!

Cassia A

The Moroccan scramble is really tasty! Not too heavy, it’s great. We subbed the salad for potatoes and I think that was the right move. The gluten free bread is really good!! The coffee is super good, and bottomless for $3.50. The vegan kale Caesar is also delicious. Some of the potatoes were crispy, but I would have liked them even more crispy. The service was sooo good. Super kind and very informative. We had to wait around 20 minutes on a Saturday at 10am.

Chris Larsen

Food packed full with flavor! So many wonderful options that were both gluten free and vegan. I had the ginger tofu as the protein and had sides of brussels sprouts and bean soup. So satisfying! Looking forward to going back.

Julia M

Hi! I have to leave a review for this place because it was absolutely AMAZING. The food, the vibes and the customer service was top-tier. And of course, the views were breathtaking!! I want to thank Anastasia for making our visit extra special, she went above and beyond for us; including helping accommodate a gluten allergy. We will definitely be returning :) thank you soo much!! 🙏🙏🤍
