100% GF Lots of options Staff really nice

Ivo S

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

This was the second time I've had their pizza! The cashew cheese is sooo good! All crusts are wheat free, and they have separate oven and fryer for celiac. The cashew blue cheese dip was the perfect pairing. One thing I wanted to add is the last time I had the BEST vegan ice cream flavor I've ever had. Lavender and butterfly pea! Please do that again!

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.

Annie Yang

The menu is SO CLEARLY LABELED! I can’t have gluten or dairy and I had the most fabulous dinner! The cider was also lovely. Kind staff that take allergies very seriously

Justin Malhi

Service and atmosphere are great but food is beyond mid and overpriced considering the lack of real flavour, definitely not the most enjoyable sushi, iki is miles better for gluten free folks. But this place was alright.

gluten friendly options and can accommodate celiac

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.

That is a very nice place, with a lot of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. I got the drink on the house and it was delicious and refreshing lemonade. Didn’t get the chance to ask a servers name, but he was delightful and very friendly. The food was well seasoned and really tasty. I also asked about the weight of lamb to count the proteins and they provided that to me. I would rate it 6 stars if I could.

Pretty good portion on the dosas if you get their Dosa of the day. I like the lamb on Tuesdays. Pretty fast at in-between times (non-dinner time) when they are quite empty. The dosa is probably gluten-friendly but you might want to ask if other ingredients inside it are gluten-friendly too.

Couldn’t recommend this place more. Staff were honestly amazing. Modified the menu for celiac and honestly was so so tasty. Hats off to the chefs! Special thanks to Kat, Paige and Darren. They were so welcoming and nice, one of best experiences we’ve had to date in Vancouver. Thank you all 🎉

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

I chose the Pour house based on reviews and a widely advertised gluten free menu. There is indeed a gluten free fryer however other allergies were not well managed. We discussed extensively with the team what was available and were offered chips and a green salad. As we were attending a show nearby we took the option believing it to be relatively safe. We were disappointed at the lack of effort to accommodate or make any suggestions of suitable items. I had a reaction shortly after dinner. I would not recommend this venue to anyone with a serious allergy

I tried the gluten-friendly vegan dream pizza. The crust was amazing, and vegan pizza is so delicious! The place has a very chill atmosphere. Since I have gluten sensitivity, I often have trouble finding proper places with good-tasting options. Ignite is one of the best places you can choose in Vancouver if you're looking for gluten-friendly pizza.

Y'all!! I've been getting delivery for a while from here, but finally went in to eat the other day. The staff were all friendly. I would've given 5 stars to the delivery quality alone, but would give 6 stars for the fresh stuff. The machetes are phenomenal. ¡Perfecto! And the yuca fries... *Drools As a celiac, it's nice that most things are gluten free, and as I've never felt sick from eating here, it's one of my safe go-to restaurants. If you're in the area, I would 100% recommend this place, especially if you eat gluten-free (or even have dairy restrictions too, they can take care of you).

Stephen Juwono

I love the food and vibe here. As a Celiac, I always order their Trifecta Rice Plate and have always been asked if I'm Celiac or have a gluten allergy, which is reassuring. My non-Celiac partner usually gets their banh mi and he loves them.

Sarah Stephenson

As a celiac, it's very hard to find places to trust. Practically this entire place was gluten free! Killed Mexican with a creative twist. Loved it - highly recommend!

Nikita Crane

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

Erin Knock

The best vegan and gluten free cake I've ever had. Honestly hands down one of the best cakes I've ever had. Reasonably priced, easy to order on line for pick up or delivery. 100% my new go to for work celebrations.

Ariana Arrue

We got gluten free w vegan mozzarella, and if you eat this way- you know the ingredients can be hit or Miss at Some places… THIS is your gluten free pizza place!! SO Delicious I would go back in a heartbeat.

Chris Smith

As someone with celiac disease who orders lunch from this restaurant regularly, I’ve always tried to be understanding about the costs of specialty items, but this last experience was a deal-breaker. I’m already paying $9.99 for a 4-5 piece salmon roll, which I think is overpriced to begin with, but now they’ve started charging 20 cents per packet of GF soy sauce. Fair enough, I guess, but this time they charged me $1 per packet of GF soy sauce. That’s just ridiculous. It feels like they're trying to make up margin on people with allergies, and that’s seriously frustrating. It’s one thing to charge a little extra for gluten-free items, but gouging customers with dietary restrictions feels wrong. I won't be coming back after this.

Employee was extremely helpful when I needed a to grab a gluten free, celiac-friendly breakfast before work. Enjoyed a delicious açai bowl + a prepackaged cookie. Thank you!

Billy Muir

Many gluten-free options available and the smoothies are satisfying.

Nikita Crane

Went for happy hour - great cocktails and great GF options. Many things are GF or can be amended, server was super knowledgeable. I had the wings, hummous with a GF flatbread and nachos. Really tasty! And great waterfront views.

I enjoy eating exotic food while in Vancouver and this time I chose Moroccan cuisine at Moltaqa Moroccan Restaurant Mainland street Yaletown. First, I asked a nice staff member what I should order. The staff was kind and gave me some advice. I chose Traditional Chicken Pastilla:Traditional Moroocan pastry with halal chicken and almonds. Sweet and savoury Pairs well with Tokaji, Poully Fuse. Lemon & Olive Halal Chicken Tagine with Saffron:turmeric and ginger saffron notes. Carrots, potatoes. Pairs well with Savignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. For dessert, I chose whatever caught my eye when I entered the restaurant. M’Hancha - Snake Cake and Almond Briwat. Healthy and flavourful and full of aromatic spices. Vegan and gluten-free options. I would love to come back here and try the vegetarian food on my next visit to Vancouver. Highly recommend this place!

First time here in years! I remember coming for their grand opening and back when they introduced their Hawaiian plates! Had a decent poke bowl (I built my own mini guy). I will say their portions were less than what I remembered from my first impressions. My bowl came to $14.18 including tax, which had a base, a sauce, 1 protein option (you pay by the scoop and my salmon was $3), 3 sides, and 1 crunch. It's drastically different compared to say, Steve's Poke Bar, where you can choose unlimited sides for a similar price. I always find it odd when a poke shop limits customers' number of "crunches" as the cost must be so minor to produce - items like furikake, fried onions, fried garlic, sesame seeds, etc. It would go a long way to allow people to have more than one as a topper. The sesame mayo sauce was great and I was told it didn't have dairy (milk/eggs) in it. I had the shoyu Atlantic salmon, with corn, edamame, and imitation crab. On the plus side, the staff were kind and patient as I ordered. I was asking about items with gluten/dairy due to a sensitivity, and they seemed to know their menu. They get quite a few online orders through delivery apps, as most people during a weekday lunch hour took their food to-go.

Danielle Wardstrom

Fantastic cafe, delicious latte and gluten free option. Thank you!

Sandy Leung

Lots of choices to choose from. They are a good treat if you're vegan or have allergies. They are dairy free, nut free, egg free, gluten free, and most puddings are soy free! Not your typical dessert place where there's only one option that's vegan.

Morgana Stroich

The staff were kind and welcoming, the hot sauce and coffee was also delicious.Everyone was satisfied with their meals.They accommodated well to a family member with celiac disease.

Emma Walden

Great option if you’re gluten free! Knowledgeable about cross contamination for celiacs, highly recommend.
