Like this place very much. We tend to visit each time we are in the area. Great selection of vegetarian items, gluten free bakery options, as well as good breakfast and lunch choices.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Urban Forest Bistro in Duncan, BC, and I couldn't be more impressed. As someone with dietary restrictions—I'm lactose intolerant—it’s often tricky to find places where I can eat without worrying about hidden ingredients. Urban Forest Bistro, however, is a breath of fresh air.
The owner, who was both friendly and professional, took the time to help me select a muffin, a lemon blueberry vegan gluten-free muffin, and it was absolutely delicious—so good, in fact, that I ate it before even thinking about snapping a photo!
What I love about this bistro is its dedication to creating a welcoming space for everyone, regardless of dietary needs. The menu is full of options that are sensitive to food allergies and intolerances, which means I can dine worry-free. It's clear that the owner put thought into creating a place where people could enjoy delicious food and feel good afterward.
Even my boyfriend, who doesn’t have any dietary restrictions, gave the muffin a big thumbs up! If you're in the area and looking for a spot with fresh, allergen-friendly options, I highly recommend a visit to Urban Forest Bistro. It’s a rare gem where everyone can feel comfortable, enjoy great food, and leave happy!
I'm celiac and was wondering if the wait out the door was worth it. It was a market day and I've heard alot about this place. I was happy to learn that most of their items are already gluten free and they have a gf fryer! WELL worth the wait
Fantastic! Food was fresh and delicious, everything was sparkling clean. We had the buffet which had lots of gluten free and dairy options. Highly recommend!
I ordered a perfectly created Stealhead burger on a Gluten Free bun( great tasting bun). I had the house salad with herbed oil vinaigrette. Our Waiter, Noah was fabulous. And, I am so thrilled that WS has so many Delicious GF options, wow!❤️
I am totally and most completely impressed with the Thanksgiving dinner that The Dog house prepared. The meal was absolutely delicious. Everything was portioned nicely, and they were not cheap on gravy.
I can't wait to come back again to see how good a lot of the other meals are on the menu. I would definitely recommend this for anybody wanting some great quality food. The desserts are all made in-house and are absolutely amazing they have their own Baker, and the only desserts that are brought in from another location are gluten-free options that they offer. Kayla gave us a beyond expected service. Shortly after our meals were brought to us she checked in to find out if there was anything else that we needed. She was absolutely correct we needed some dipping sauce for the chicken, and water. Great job people, The Dog house is a smashing success for us.
This restraunt has fantastic servers who are very attentive and friendly. The cooks will accommodate dietary restrictions if a recipe can be altered. I has to have fish batter made without milk and they did... the cooks offered to make a fresh batch of batter without milk! Impressive and much appreciated. They also have a gluten free menu and the food and pricing and fantastic!
The healthy blizzards are the best. I love the Nanaimo bar and almond butter cup ones. I also love the bullet lattes. The staff are amazing and it's a very cute restaurant. Prices are great for all organic gluten free food.
Delicious food, great portions, excellent service, and many gluten free-ish options (if you can tolerate a soya sauce marinade)! We will certainly be back again!
Taylor made our experience awesome! Great server. Gluten free options can be done, however, they don't have a dedicated fryer. I tried one wing, lemon pepper, really good. Had the fish and yam chips, fish was grilled not battered. My husband and our daughter had the battered fish and chips and could not keep quiet about how tasty they were. Our son in law had wings and the stuffed potato poutine. He said it was good. Would highly recommend.
