Thank you SO MUCH for all the gluten free options. Amazing service. Place could do a masterclass on poached eggs (my grandmother would have been very impressed)

Leisel Quinton

❤️so many GF options. Knowledgeable, friendly staff.

Just had an amazing experience at Selia Bar and had to share! The entire place is 100% gluten free, which was such a relief — no need to worry about cross-contamination at all. It’s so refreshing to be able to choose anything from the menu without second-guessing or stressing. There were so many delicious options to pick from, and everything we tried was fantastic. Our server, Erick, was absolutely wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better with his thoughtful service. If you’re looking for a safe and genuinely enjoyable place to eat out, I highly recommend Selia Bar. I left feeling full, happy, and totally at ease.

I’m a Celiac and they had so many options for me it was AMAZING. I haven’t had Sushi and Tempura Shrimp and Calamari in YEARS The staff are amazing so helpful and it was so much fun. Words cannot describe how wonderful this experience was

Greg Widmeyer

Best gluten free pizza I've ever had!

Lior Seidel

Great GF options on a safe kitchen

Jen W.

The food is incredible! The chicken crack and cauliflower is the best combination, popcorn chicken and fried cauliflower. If you’re gluten free and haven’t been here, you need to go. I come here with people who can eat gluten all the time and they also love it.

Cassandra Orr

Gluten free Chinese food!

Marc Quinn

Absolutely amazing food, everything is fresh. Highly recommend to anyone with celiac. And if you're an egg person, these are the freshest eggs I've had in a very long time.

yuki holmes

amazing staff, owner has celiac so you can trust him and workers abt cross contamination

Renee Rogers

I love that they have gluten-free for people with celiac so good and nice to be out of the house with my daughter

PJ Swan

We were celebrating an 80th birthday. Jeremy was very accommodating with our reservation and we were able to bring in a gluten free cupcake for the bday girl. There was only 3 of us and all our meals were absolutely delicious. However, our server Cailie was extremely inattentive. We had trouble to get just a water. She never offered any of us another wine, tea/coffee or dessert - even when she brought out the single cupcake we had brought in. Upselling is somewhat expected as a customer, but we certainly didn’t have to worry about that! Anyway, I would go again because it wasn’t my first time and I know the food is great and service is usually awesome as well. Tonight was just a big disappointment being I picked it myself for this special event.

Larisa McIntyre

Best gluten free and vegan sushi, they are very fast and accommodating. Highly recommend wholelifego it’s amazing! Thank you WholeLifeGo!

Canela is amazing! Been visiting since we discovered their offerings at Barrow Coffee way back when, and then started visiting the Little Red House off Macleod! So stoked when they opened up a beautiful bakery in Inglewood! Consistent quality all around, and the drinks are amazing, full of flavour! Savoury treats (Korean hot dog all the way!), lots of desserts (why cant I just have one of EVERYTHING?) I’ve brought many of my non vegan family and friends here, and brought many treats to them as well, and it’s always “what? It’s vegan? I couldn’t tell!” Ps - the gluten free chocolate caramel loaf is to die for, and I will cry tears of disappoint they ever stop making it. THE BEST.

Megan K

Went to this place for brunch for the first time and had 3 amazing things to note. 1) the coconut chai was to die for and I would return just for that drink alone. 2) the vegan eggs Benedict on falafel was so perfectly savoury and delicious, as someone eating vegan and gluten free, I haven’t had something that covers my dietary restrictions taste so good in a long time. 3) the portion sizes!!! The quesadilla my family had was enormous, the side salads were huge! Amazing to have leftovers for later and even though we ate a lot, we didn’t feel gross after (which we often do with other places) because the ingredients were so clean. The staff were so kind and the restaurant gives cute earthy vibes. Hands down will be going back! (Wish we got photos to share!)

Christina Bialik

Great food, great vibes, and best celiac friendly breakfast in town! (Also good for non-celiacs too)

Roxanne Selkirk

Great little place. Warm, bright, and inviting. Gluten free options - tater tots are gf but have fryer cross contamination, so breakfast sides you can sub gf bread and have a side salad, fruit, tomatoes etc. Nice vegetarian options too!

P LP

Great food! Been here twice now & I really enjoy it. Great gluten free options too! If you’re hungry & enjoy good bbq this is the place!

zachary knox

Good food and great service. Definitely the best option for celiac and gluten free in the calgary airport. Prompt service and a great relaxed atmosphere it was a highlight in an otherwise very delayed trip.

Taylor Kayy

I’ll start by saying maybe it’s better in store, however the $13 chili dog is rather pathetic, literally a top dog with a spoon full of “chili” and two pickled jalapeños, 4 bites is all I got out of it, my girlfriend got the burger, the patties almost had the texture of meat with chunks of eraser in it, for being called saucy burger there was nothing saucy about it, it’s was drier than a popcorn fart. The gluten free chicken burger was actually the highlight, which for a burger place is pretty backwards, but again, not saucy and really didn’t taste like much of anything. If they need someone to show them how to make a proper burger or what salt and pepper is, let me know. Literally just go anywhere else. For 19 bucks there’s a million better burgers out there, and the fries were literally not even worth mentioning, maybe the chefs never got their taste back after Covid or something.

Picked up a gluten free lunch today, $30 for 1 meal is kinda ridiculous. I got pasta with the burger and it was an added $8 up charge to get a small portion of gross pasta. The pasta was horrible, very clearly reheated (not well) and definitely a day or 2 old. I could have made Kraft dinner that tasted better than their barely reheated pasta. I don’t know if they changed chefs but their pasta used to be amazing. Very disappointing

John Smith

I'm extremely pleased by the staff here. I had a food allergy I made my server aware of at the start. When they brought my meal, I had about .2 seconds to stare at it before another server swooped in and stole it back stating "Sorry this one isn't gluten free", and the manager appeared from the other side with the correct order. The whole switch out happened in less than 10 seconds. On top of that, there was no discernable difference to the appearance of the meals, to my eye anyways, so I'm even more impressed by how quick they noticed the wrong one had been presented first. Finally- it was Valentine's, and they were absolutely brutally packed and still managed to do all this with a smile. The food was great but it could have been awful at that point (as so many gluten free substitutions are anyways) and I still would have been amazed.

Veronica Penny

My favourite place to get breakfast in Calgary! Gluten free options are appreciated. Coffee is really good too.

Julie Harrison

We love coming here. They are celiac friendly as well!!!!

Danielle Crawford

I stopped in for a quick lunch during a business trip. It’s always hard to find great vegan cuisine when I am traveling for work. This location was amazing, their menu had so many great vegan options to choose from along with great substitutions for gluten-free, soy free, etc. I went with the lemongrass, tofu, beet salad, and I asked to add some capers to it. The server was extremely friendly and had no problem accommodating my request. It was absolutely delicious. I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. I will gladly be back when I am back in the area. Ambience was great with a fun vibe. Very trendy. Even the bathroom was a lot of fun some cool wallpaper and fun color scheme.

Kevin Clark

Great menu, prompt service and good food. Been here many times, always been excellent. Good menu for Celiacs as well (friend is one)

Barbara Mattson

Food was good and served in big portions, but not really spectacular. The bacon was very salty and sweet at the same time. One vegan option available - vegan hash. Very good selection of vegetarian and gluten free meals. Very noisy atmosphere, not a place where you're planning to have any discussion. Ketchup comes is small plastic packets, more suited for a fast food place. Staff very friendly, courteous and helpful.

Chase Price

Came here for brunch with the wife and as two people with serious allergies(gluten and dairy )dinning out can be very hard. But our server jade was so accommodating and recommended great food and drinks that we loved. The food and drinks came out very quick and were tasty. Very professional and friendly environment. Good cooks but props to our server. We will be coming back as she made our experience worth the drive to this location

Richard Marchand

Excellent gluten free menu great food

brooke smith

My regular for getting chai lattes and eggs Benny, I’m unfortunately a gluten unfriendly human but this bunch spot has lots of gluten free options so I don’t spend my entire afternoon on the loo! Staff are lovely, wish they had live music 😘

Sandra Perron

Very tasty! I am a celiac and I had a little bit of a stomach ache after. Hence the 4 stars.

Robert Keith

It's strange to write a review when I didn't get a chance to eat here. I asked if they had Gluten Free buns. The answer I got was "I dunno".

Rachel Langell

This delicious restaurant has the best flavored, tastiest burgers!!! And definitely enjoyed my gluten-free dinner. It was quiet so the wonderful staff served us at our tables,.party of 8..thank you for making my birthday dinner an excellent pick!!!

Carol Flegg

I would NOT recommend this place. Had a gluten free waffle and it was cold and so dry I asked for a second tablespoon of syrup to choke it down. We got charged an extra 2 dollars for the tablespoon of syrup. Grossly overpriced for really second rate food. Next time will go local and Canadian. Would not even give one star! 🇨🇦

C. Hoo

I love that they have gluten-free options (jumbo waffles and more!). Breakfast is always good. Eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and having gf waffles was a huge treat. Service was prompt and she was very friendly.

Matt McQueen

Unbelievably good bbq! This platter had brisket, rib ends, chicken, sausage, and side ribs, along with fries, coleslaw, and cornbread. So many gluten free options too! Everything on this platter is gluten free, even the gravy and the cornbread!

Lisa Gilchrist

Advertised as a gluten-free donut shop but at 11 AM on a weekday no gluten-free donuts available. Was told to pre-order the day before As they have limited quantities of gluten-free options.

Sharon Hunt

My first time and loved everything about it! Atmosphere is very nice, service is great, gluten free baked goods are delicious and great coffee! It will be my new go to place! ❤️

Josh

Food was great. We have a gluten intolerance. Kiede was great at helping us find alternatives!

Makenna Short

Great gluten free goodies and their GF breakfast sandwich was pretty darn yummy!

James Anderson

Looking for chicken that slaps you in the face and says “DAMN, that’s a good sandwich”? Look no more. Most of this restaurant is gluten free too. Delicious. Tasty. Vibrant. Can I say more? Also, the fries. Mmmm. Please go here.

My wife and I have allergies (gluten/dairy), and it's never been an issue. The staff are always wonderful. The only negative is it's loud inside when it's busy (owner is aware, and working on it). We usually sit on the patio, as it's not as noisy, so long as the weather isn't horrible.

Chloe Turner

So tasty and very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The service was quick and the food was amazing. Very good at accommodating allergies as well. Got the Bulgogi Beef Benny with a gluten free English muffin - would highly recommend.

I was working in an office nearby and was looking for lunch - I haven’t eaten here since prior to my Celiac Disease diagnosis. I noticed on the menu that there is a wide variety of items across all categories that can be made “gluten conscious” with substituted items. If you have to avoid gluten you know sometimes there are no options, or no substitutions available and it can be a challenge eating the same things over and over again. I wanted to give it a shot, so I placed my order on the Moxies website with an ask for GC subs. I ordered the following to share with a gluten sensitive coworker: Truffle parm fries Roasted tomato and whipped feta dip Chipotle mango chicken The restaurant called right away and confirmed substitution selections with me. The fries were baked instead of fried to avoid cross contamination, the dip was served with crackers instead of bread, and the chicken was served with jasmine rice instead of ancient grains. When I went to pick up I was served by the manager who was incredibly friendly. I really appreciated the attention to detail and care that was put into my order- I did not feel like a burden or that the substitutions were too much work. The best part is that everything tasted great - I would happily reorder these items again and they kept absolutely fine in containers and made it back to the office. We both feel great hours after eating and are excited to be able to add some variation to an otherwise relatively flavourless mealtime. Thank you so much for taking the time to make my experience great, even if I didn’t dine in!

Violet Rose

Absolutely fantastic gluten free pataconwiches. Their patacon sandwich comes with the meat of your choice, is naturally gluten free, and there are TWO of them. For $18.77, I assumed there was one sandwich, but there are two. Amazing price, fantastic taste, great service. If you can’t do cheese, they can swap the cheese for extra avocado

Shelby Dewhirst

Such an awesome bar, restaurant, and place for live shows! The Pal offers the best in alt vibes and often has performances both up and downstairs. The patio is massive and you can't beat the eats! Celiac friends rejoice, most of the menu (including sides) is, or can be made, GF.

Joanne Constanoples

Gave 1 for atmosphere since there is take out only. Although the park across the street to eat your burger is a 5 star for ambiance. Menu has been revamped since sharing restaurant with Sweatered Hen. I always order original or classic burger with gluten free bun. Soft vanilla cone. Always consist in their food flavor and appearance. Service hadn't declined over the years. Let's keep supporting this vegan fast food joint. Ive brought friends to try and they were very surprised how flavorful a meatless burger tastes. It's the only place that I can order burger and ice cream due to gluten and dairy sensitivity. Soft cone still only $4!

Sarah Mitchell

We had both breakfast and dinner here, and it was delicious! My husband loved the bread bar, and I am celiac, they were able to offer me lots of gluten free choices. We'll be back!
