Top 7 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Enjoy in Esther Short, Vancouver

Nikki Flinn

John Paul was an amazing server that went above and beyond to make our experience fun and memorable. He is a kind human who made us feel special and this really meant a great deal because my friends and I met for my birthday. We love the location and the food, but seriously Twigs is lucky to have John Paul on their staff. Thank you! I also appreciate that they have a vegan and a gluten free menu upon request.

Valerie Hooks

One of our family's favorite places to eat. Everything is fresh and delicious. I love the NomNom Bowl but you can't really go wrong here. Gluten free options available. Recommended

Great place to stop after a ride. Gluten free options available.

My wife is celiac so finding great food that is safe for her to eat at restaurants is not always easy. This place is a must try for celiac / gluten free options. Careful of cross contamination and knowledgeable.

For how expensive it is, the service us not as good. I told the server that I have a gluten intolerance, but I feel like she didn't take me seriously. I ordered a caesar salad, and they still added the farro. She kept asking if I was celiac, and I told her "no"... I still told her it was a severe intolerance. I also told her no potatoes for the main dish, and she didn't offer extra veggies in exchange. But, my friend ordered the same dish as I ordered, and the waitress suggested extra veggies or salad (because my friend didn't want potatoes as well). The food is good, but service can be better.

Are you looking for a quiet, well lit place to meet and hang out with friends?! This is a little hidden gem located right on Washington Street. They have over 10 different ciders on tap, and a couple beers if that's your thing. We couldn't decide on one cider so my husband and I shared a large flight. While we enjoyed all the flavors we got I went with a strawberry mojito flavor and my husband went with a vanilla cider. They've also got some great snacks to order. I'm gluten free and was able to order a gluten free flatbread. Our waitress/cook warned us that the crusts are difficult to work with but it came out absolutely perfect and delicious. If you are gluten free or vegan this place has you covered. There's a couple of Nintendo's set up in the back where you can play old skool Super Mario Bros. Also they have huge, clean, and nice bathrooms. Make sure you get the code to the bathroom door when you order. I'm looking forward to coming back and getting a vanilla cider next time.

We stopped here a little while back to have dinner while visiting family in Vancouver. The hostess, Tabby, was absolutely fantastic. Her upbeat and friendly demeanor instantly gave us a good vibe and set us up for a wonderful dining and wine-tasting experience. Our server, Dietrich, was phenomenal! He was very knowledgeable about all of the different wines and pairings. He was quick to offer suggestions and get recommendations from the chef to accommodate my gluten allergy. This, unfortunately, is something only some servers are willing to do but is genuinely appreciated. Tabby and Dietrich went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing, memorable dining experience.
