Top 50 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Calgary

Kimberly Dingle

Great food and totally gluten free. Have taken friends here that are not celiac and EVERYONE enjoys thoroughly. Good go to.

Kaitlin Olsen

Pizza was delicious and service was lovely. With a celiac in the family it was great to be able to go to a fully gluten free pizza place. Would highly recommend!

Janel Esguerra

This place is awesome! Been here a few times now and everything holds up. Portions are huge. Even the tea they serve you isn't in tiny cups and a kettle; I got 3 full cups out of it. Their menu is 95% gluten free, I've taken my celiac girlfriend here twice and she loves it! Only thing is their water is not free, it comes in cans and is 75cents but I was happy with my tea. Love coming here!

Leisel Quinton

The best chicken strips literally ever

Sara Piepgrass

The staff are great! The food is always delicious and gluten free!! Love it.

Cassandra Orr

Gluten free Chinese food!

Zeynin Juma

Phenomenal experience. Chef Jason and team create spectacular and delightful works of art that leave you satisfied but still wanting more (because it tastes so damn good). I had the pancakes after a gluten-loving friend ate the gluten-free pancakes willingly; and LOVED it too. Going back as often as possible

Aaron Kelemen

Have been here a couple of times. It’s very good and great for celiac friendly gluten-free options!

yuki holmes

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

Stef Sanchez

I loved the place, it has a very good atmosphere, good service and the best thing is that it has gluten-free options.

Jessica Shifrin

A staple every time I go to Calgary. As a celiac I feel so safe here, staff always take time to make sure I understand what I can/cannot eat. I would say about 80 percent of the menu can be made gluten free including the fried chicken. It’s great to be able to share with friends and not sacrifice taste. Could not recommend more.

Ryan Hagel

Love this place. Best restaurant in Calgary. so many vegan and celiac safe options.

Brenda Gould

The food is absolutely amazing! Beautifully presented and gluten free! We will definitely be back!!

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!)

Place is a cute, very small. I don't get the hype, must just be the location. The food, I'm sorry to say, is very bad! The chicken burger is advertised as a chicken breast. It comes as fatty chunks of dark meat and skin. Gross! The service is slow. The gluten free baking is nice. Overall needs a lot of improvement but there's potential.

Patrick Baranski

Our CSSC team enjoys coming to the brewhouse to socialize and have some grub after/before our games! The atmosphere is unmatched and the food specials are great! Love the wings and they have loads of options for those who need to avoid the Gluten - be sure to speak to the staff and they will always give great recommendations. Wing nights are a hit! I hear their monthly steak nights are really good, I have yet to go a try it out!

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!

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.

Caitlynd McRoberts-Barry

Great gluten-free options!

B Nelson

Love this place. We live across the road and will surely spend way more money here then we should. I have a few dietary restrictions, but their gluten friendly burgers are great and I can always find something to eat.

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.

Alycia Herlein

Staff were knowledgeable about their food and what I could have that was gluten free. Checked in with us a lot of and asked if we had any special requests. Definitely work coming.

Barb I

Excellent gluten free pizza!

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 😘

Cactus Club continues to offer exceptional service and a quality affordable dining experience. I took my friend who has crohn's for her birthday lunch here - she has strict dietary requirements and we were delighted to know that Cactus club offers a gluten-free menu with a vast amount of options, we were even informed by the staff that they have a separate fryer for gluten free meals. This is very comforting to know that they take extra precautions to avoid allergens and offer menu that is suitable and inclusive to all dietary requirements. The staff is always friendly and accommodating - which means they definitely hire the right people for the job. The drinks and food were delicious! The year round patio is such a beautiful dining atmosphere and we left feeling like we got our money's worth. Keep it up Cactus club :)

Sandra Perron

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

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.

Sheepdog

First time here for the lunch buffet … great selections for vegetarians/ meat lovers, gluten free and vegans! Well worth the price! Good service aswell … will be back!

Natasha Scheller

Loved every bite of my Gluten-free burger with sweet potato fries.

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!

Santiago R. Loaiza

Gluten free items are what you expect, a bit dry but filled with love. The service was incredible and if you go during the weekends there’s artist playing music and having a great time while you can enjoy hot chocolate and play some games.

Josh

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

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!

Keith Kovalsky

This place has got it all. Great service great atmosphere and great food. And if you have celiac disease they have a separate fryer for their French fries. They will also bake the wings instead of putting him in the gluten fryer. We had a platter for 4 with a lot of variety and very tasty

Tamed Temptress

This was our first meal and wow !! My gluten free pizza not only didn’t taste like cardboard it was fantastic ! My husband wanted to kiss the chef after the Penne Calbrese….new fav spot! And shout out to Bryan our waiter he was lovely!
