Top 50 Gluten-Free Take Away Spots Across Kitchener

Best place to go for gluten free food! Totally recommended! Wish there would be one store in Toronto! Susie is amazing!!!

Emily Souders

Winnie’s is the best! As someone who doesn’t necessarily need gluten free options, I would still choose to eat here. The food is so delicious you don’t even notice it’s gluten free. My husband feels the same and he is a tough critic! They do have dairy free options as well which is great for me. From sweet to savory they have it all. I even got an amazing cake made for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Toronto that was not only delicious but so cute and fun!

Mel’s Diner offers a classic diner experience with friendly staff, good food, and a retro vibe. We came at 9:30 on a Sunday and had a 20-minute wait for a table to open for 5 people, which felt like a reasonable wait time. There was counter seating available for smaller groups. We ordered quite a lot of food, and all of it was pretty good— nothing life-changing but a good, solid diner breakfast, with surprisingly good coffee. I typically find diner coffee to be pretty underwhelming. Mel’s menu also caters well for vegan and gluten-free people, which is something a lot of diners and breakfast places are missing. Mel’s has been around for a long time, and it makes sense why good food at reasonable prices with something for everyone on their menu.

The tea flavours are delicious and there are lots of gluten free options. Also genuinely the most comfortable couches I’ve ever sat in in my life.

Their gluten free foods are absolutely delicious. I’ve been celiac for 10 years and this the food i got here was so good and im so happy i tried it! Will definitely be coming back to restock! The butter tarts were my favourite sweet treat and the samosas were so flavourful and amazing.

Great friendly staff. Yummy gluten free hamburger 🍔🍔🍔🤤🤤

Vanessa Monto

I had a wonderful experience at Ottawa St South Street Burger!! I eat gluten free and they were very knowledgeable, safe and answered all my one million questions!! I would recommend to anyone who needs to eat gluten free :) Thank you!!

I was excited to try a gluten-free donut since it’s been years since I’ve had one. While in town for a work event, I stopped by and got the apple cider donut. Unfortunately, it looked pretty sad. The texture was a bit off, and the only saving grace was the cinnamon sugar coating. There was also an oily aftertaste, which wasn’t great. My sister liked the vegan donut I brought for her.

Deborah Small

GLUTEN FREE options available!!! Service was fast and friendly. The portions were large, came quickly, and were delicious!This is a place where the chef takes pride in the food they serve. Love it.

Esther Farr

I avoid gluten and dairy and was so happy to have so many options to choose from here. Vanessa was a fantastic server and was so kind to us and our kids.

Matthesa Gregg

Food is great! And they have many options for gluten and dairy free dietary restrictions.

We just had my birthday dinner here with my husband, parents and grandmother and I will recommend it to everyone. Our server Luigi started with the history of the building, and had us laughing in minutes with his charming anecdotes from Italy. It was like we got entertainment with our dinner… it was so memorable. The food was delicious, we all had different meals and did not have one complaint. Smoked pork chops, battered fish and chips, prime rib and blackened chicken taco salad. Being my birthday I was given a free dessert and they even accommodated my gluten allergy with a flourless chocolate brownie in cherry sauce. Absolutely delicious. But Luigi charmed us, left us absolutely breathless with laughter and swept my grandma off her feet by walking her out and serenading her in Italian. She said she’d never had so much fun. We are full of gratitude and I hope someone can share that video with me of the serenade :) Book your visit now and request Luigi!! You won’t regret it.

We explicitly asked if the tuna bowl was gluten free and our server told us it was. We took our order to go. After eating it we saw a small note on the box that said sauces are not GF. My daughter has been throwing up since she ate. Very very disappointed.

Chrissy Miller

Ordered for dinner for the first time. Menu is clearly marked for Gluten Free menu options. We ordered shrimp fresh rolls and beef fresh rolls - the rolls were large and very fresh! One order of fresh rolls comes with two rolls and a light, but flavourful dipping sauce. We also ordered chicken pad thai and tofu vegetable curry. Serving sizes were enough to feed two adults with leftovers. Food was ready quickly and was fresh and flavourful! Will definitely order from Bangkok Cuisine again! **Update: We order almost once a month from Bangkok Cuisine and have NEVER been disappointed. We only wish they were open more!!

Made a lunch reservation for my family at Red Ginger and we had an amazing time! The food was delicious, lots of gluten free and vegan options. The service was amazing, our server Noot took good care of everyone and made our dining experience excellent! :)

Edit: I spoke with Brandon the owner and agreed to come back. As previous the pizza and drinks were great. Both Brandon and his brother were apologetic and made sure we had a great time. While they could have just ignored it, they owned the issue which says a lot. We will be back. I recently dined in at The Civil with some friends. I had heard great things about it and was eager to try it. On arrival our waiter, did seem relatively new to the role, to give this context, I have worked in Food and Beverage in 6 countries for large luxury hotels. He was pleasant and made every effort to accommodate. Received our initial drinks and they were well presented and tasty (Flights). We ordered pizzas and my girlfriend made sure to advise the waiter she does have a gluten intolerance and ordered the gluten friendly specific pizza crust. When her pizza was brought out, I clarified with the waiter it was gluten friendly and he said yes. Immediately following ran back to the table to let her know he made a mistake and forgot to make that note for the kitchen and he would get it fired immediately. To this point no issues and it was handled well. I understand mistakes sometimes happen and appreciated his sense of urgency in resolving it. They also waived the charge for her pizza which I thought was a kind gesture. The new pizza took approximately 18 minutes to come out of the kitchen. At this point everyone else is done eating. What really left a negative taste in my mouth was the conversation I overheard between our new server and who I believed to be the manager. His words were "you need to go talk to that table, there time is up and we need the table, They need to settle the bill." I can appreciate that they have policies in place and agree with the application of it, but at this point, my girlfriend has just gotten her pizza, is a slice in and we now have a waiter telling us its time to go. We were not here this long because we wanted to be, but rather as a result of you and your staff's actions, or lack there of. I am disappointed that we were made to feel like we were an inconvenience in a situation that we had little control over. The pizza was great, and overall the service was okay, but in light of the way in which we were treated, I will not be returning and could not wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone else.

The taco’s are fantastic and the service so friendly! They have gluten free, dairy free and meat free options. Best place to eat at the Kitchener market

Tyler Stewart

First time here. Won't be the last. Great friendly staff, super helpful with making sure my wife's meal was gluten free. Tasty big sized dishes. Definitely sugar overload if you get a signature pancake but totally worth it! Thanks again , keep up the amazing effort 👌

Shawn Wasserman

Great food, great service, and a great place for Celiacs. They really know their gluten free!

aansh patel

I have a gluten allergy, so I ordered the harvest salad, and it was perfect! The staff took the time to explain the gluten-free options in detail, which made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. I really appreciated their attentiveness!

Eunice

The oysters are very fresh, the stake is done to your liking, the sides are incredible, but I must mention the Bartender/Mixologist Karolina and her amazing creations, the latest is called "call me crazy" a mixture of tequila,grapefruit and other citrus with an smoked pepper finish, just delicious!! Also the gluten free chocolate cake is to die for...

Omar Ezz

Awesome dining experience. The food was amazing, we especially loved the tostada and yuca fries. The ambience is great; open kitchen was spotless.  This restaurant caters to different allergies/dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free) but you could never tell by the taste. Big thank you to our server Matthew for the great service, answering all of our questions, and delicious recommendations! We will definitely be back.

Liam MacDonald

At the Kitchener location, Karolina took great care of us! Always a good time. Dedicated fryer for celiacs!!

I picked this restaurant for my family and i for breakfast because they meintioned they have gluten free options. When we 3ntered the restaurant i asked the lady if they had gf options just to confir and she confirmed. I ordered benedict eggs with toast, when it was served we asked if it was GF and the waiteress said it was not gf hence she brought me gf bread with eggs. I called her yesterday to confirm again if the sweet potatoes fries were gf and she confirmed it was gf because they use fresh sweet potatoes and they coat with chickpea flour. I now doubting about the bread if they really exchanged for gf. I have celiac disease, I haven't slept for two nights since Wednesday night because of excruciating pain all over my body. I usually feel pain during the day but if it gets worse at night. I have never experienced this much pain before. I will never go to this Cafe again and if you have celiac disease or any food sensitivity stay away from this Cafe.

The food was decent. The atmosphere is cold and could use some love… a picture on the wall or some candles? The waiter seated us in the back corner at the worst possible table even though the restaurant was not busy and we had made reservations days in advance. Also extremely disappointing that they have no gluten free pasta dishes or pizza. Probably wouldn’t bother going back for that reason as there are very few options for me.

Catherine Colley

This was my first time in this location and I really enjoyed it. We took my mom for mother's Day. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have specials for mother's Day, but that's not a necessity. The food was quite good. 2 of us has the bison burger and the last had a French dip. I would recommend them both. The gluten free options were pretty good, but I think they could be better. A separate fryer or buying gluten free bacon bits would be easy. The sides were lacking for gluten free and the overlap of vegetarian and gluten free is surprisingly low. The hot chocolates we had were quite bad. Not sure what they're using, but I would honestly just not serve it rather than serving that.

Hollie Y

Amazing service and their desserts are unbelievably delicious. They did my wedding cake and dessert table. It was amazing! They also offer gluten free options which is great.

Jeremy Hutchings

My wife, son and I really enjoy eating here. The food is always excellent and the staff is friendly. I appreciate that they take great care in preparing gluten free food for my celiac wife. It makes for a great start to a night out.

Richard Loeffler

Have to say the food and service are +10….. Great menu selection, and also a good bar menu if interested. They also have gluten free and a kids menu also. They make sure you have a great portion of food, and you can see how the staff and even the managers are working. D making your experience a good one.

Shawn Wasserman

Very good with gluten-free and allergies. I have celiac and I've always had amazing food and experiences here. Also, if you're ever having a party, their $200 party platter is gorgeous. It's a show stopper and very generous.

Cathleen Audrey

Careful attention to detail and a good selection of Italian food. If you are looking for a great dining experience in a non-chain restaurant, then go here! Great gluten free pasta and the special of the evening was delightful. Leave room for dessert.

Patrick Carriere

Roasted beet salad, red pepper soup and turtle cheese cake all gluten-free! Washed with it down with a peach sangria. Everything was great ! Eating out anywhere is expensive now so I cannot critique the cost. To top off this evening our server Christina was absolutely fantastic! Attentive to gluten free requirements, patient and friendly, this earned her the largest tip I have given in ages.

Sarah Gartung

Very quick service and when a mistake was made ,easily rectified . Beautiful presentation and good quality sashimi. Not enough options for celiac or gluten free though.

Bob Ahrens

Wonderful food. Both veg and non veg. The injera bread, an Ethiopian staple, is delicious and naturally gluten free

Brienna Rose

I dealt with the owner, Andrea and her husband. They are extremely knowledgeable about ingredients and allergies. I have celiac and feel confident after conversing with them and eating there that they care enough to take the time with food prep. They are also generous with proportions and had good ideas about ingredient combos! 6** review! **It's best to be clear about severity of allergy with any other staff members

Darlene Lovely

The food was delicious, the wines were great, and the prices were reasonable! I really enjoyed the gluten-free pizza and the prosciutto-wrapped dates. I'll definitely have to try more appetizers next time!

Danny Vandermeer

This place is one of my favourite places to go! The steak is fantastic! They also, serve dairy free and gluten free options for people like me. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

Hamont Reviewer

**Casa Toro 88 in Kitchener:** * **Cozy and Gluten-Free Friendly:** This small Mexican restaurant offers a variety of gluten-free options, which is a big plus. * **Seating:** Be aware that upstairs seating might be limited during peak hours. * **Food:** The tacos are the highlight here, served in platters and boasting delicious flavors. However, the Esquites (corn in a cup) was unfortunately not very enjoyable and seemed overpriced. * **Areas for improvement:** While the tacos were good, some additional garnishes could elevate them further. Additionally, expanding their appetizer options might be beneficial. **Overall:** Casa Toro 88 offers delicious tacos and caters well to those with gluten-free needs. While some appetizers might fall short, the tacos are worth a try.

Javid Samad

Great gluten free pizza! Probably the best yet.

amy mckerron

The best! Love the Mr wok special fried rice. Love that they have gluten free options that taste amazing

Tessa Forrester

Very tasty pho. Great broth and competitively priced. My family's favorite pho spot. Good at advising and accommodating gluten free needs.

Michael VanderBro

I really like the food. Friendly staff and gluten free options. Kinda wish it was slightly bigger so you can sit and relax.

TF World

LOVE this place!!! I customize to get WHOLE WHEAT THIN CRUST with DOUBLE the CHICKEN so I can enjoy a healthy high protein cheat meal! They also have gluten free options, which is great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND you guys to try it! 😋

C C.

My gluten free pizza was pretty burned and so incredibly over baked that it was sooo dry :(. Worst $25 I ever spent.

Mars K

Decided to go Wineology last minute and the whole crew from the servers to the owner were so accommodating and amazing from the minute we walked in until the minute we left. Adem, the owner was super attentive and such a friendly, respectful man. Food was so good , especially JC's pizza , to die for 😍! The gluten free option made it even better. Definitely will be going back whenever I am in Kitchener!

Devin Walsh

We have tried AAA Pizza twice now. Both times have been phenomenal. Pizza is delicious, topping are super fresh, service is great. Above what you’d expect for a pizza delivery. First time we have their cauliflower pizza with lots of veggies. Awesome crust! Kids had pepperoni, regular crust and really liked it. Last time we had gluten free crust (in size large! This isn’t usually an option) with butter chicken sauce paneer and some veggies. It was so good. Also great crust. Both times we got their wings. They bake them tandoori style and they’re absolutely delicious. We were surprised with how good they were. I highly recommend this place!!

Amber O'Brien

Stopped in to see if they had any gluten free options and they had a separate display of a few baked goods, I tried the gf blueberry cheese cake and it was soooooo good. It was a little pricey but most gf products are expensive so it's normal. One thing I think would be helpful is to have a sign for which display is gluten free, they don't label them so if I haven't have asked I would never have known if they have any gluten free options.

My boss brought me here for our annual leadership dinner and omg I go here everyday now. What a gem in Kitchener for a picky eater like me. I could eat their food every single day haha. They have the BEST AND FRESHEST Greek salad I ever had and I’ve had ALOT of Greek salads as it’s my favourite salad. I love how they grill their salmon it’s fresh with a crisp perfectly seared finish EVERY single time. There’s lots of options for everyone, gluten friendly, meat, poultry and sea food. You can’t go wrong with coming here, it’s nice for dates, great ambience and everyone that works here is really warm and homely. If you’re looking for a review to make a decision, look no further.

Chris O'Rourke

Needed gluten free and the main person was very careful in preparing. Used toppings from fresh containers underneath or from in back of kitchen and changed gloves a couple times when he had to touch other equipment.

Talullah Ellis

I really like coming here.. I know based off the two stars you'll think why two stars. Let me explain. I am gluten free and I always order a gluten free bagel with cream cheese. I've gone 6 times now. 6 times... 6 TIMES. ordered that. They always bring me out it on gluten free bread???? Stating they don't have bagels.. then they check with the kitchen and bring back a gluten free bagel that's half done and sloppy and in horrible condition because they had to remake it. Every single time I've went in this has happened. WHY
