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.
This is one of the first places I’ve had gluten-free Chinese food, and it reminds me of my childhood when my parents would treat me to (regular) Chinese food before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Both my mom and I have celiac disease and have eaten here with confidence, as they have separate fryers to keep you safe. The ginger beef, sesame chicken, sweet and sour pork, and dumplings are my favourites (I couldn’t pick just one 🙊), and I’ve come here time and time again. AND- If you’re in for a crazy time, I recommend dining in after a late night out on the town (I won’t spoil the surprise but let me tell you, it’s unlike any dining experience I’ve ever had before and was unforgettable…).
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.
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.
My son took me for late Mother's Day dinner. Amazing vibe and so flavorful food. Service is top-notch. Being a celiac, I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Gluten free/celiacs this is a must try. My fave is the Maria's special or the bbq chicken. My fave gf pizza by FAR ive ever tried. The first time I didn't believe it was gf it was too soft and doughy and delicious. It even saves well for the next day (if by miracle i dont eat the entire thing in one sitting...) which is not true for any other gf pizza I've tried. I never go anywhere else anymore for 'za. The staff are all super kind too!
Best gluten free burgers and fries I have had in the city. They also have gluten free beer options.
I am a celiac and have never been sick from eating here. Would definitely recommended to my celiacs out there
At first glance this place wasn't what I was expecting. The cook was super friendly and welcoming. The gluten free chicken was SO GOOD!! I'd definitely have it again. The dynamite roll was ok, the gf breaded shrimps were the star of that dish and the rest were just supporting actors.. thanks
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!)
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!

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.
Magnificent,
The experience is incredibly simple, with a massive ordering board, as it should be at a burger shop. Bravo!
I ordered a gluten free double with cheese, lettuce tomato onion and their Clive sauce. The burgers were made to be juicy yet crispy on the edges, just how I like it. They did right by the CARE gluten free bun, as it should be the only valid option in Alberta for buns as they don't crumble and are nice and supple.
The fries are from a dedicated gluten free fryer and are CRISPY. I decided to review them based on the fact that they took care of my dietary needs perfectly, and their hours run late, Wich to catch a gluten free bite after 9 on 17th Ave is seemingly impossible, this place hit the spot. The staff were friendly and took care to both ask me if gluten free is a preference or health need.
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
Food was good. We had four different kinds of pizza including a gluten free one. Our server was knowledgeable about gluten free ingredients which was appreciated, unfortunately they lacked a sense of urgency and we waited a lot. Disappointing because we really enjoyed the food and the patio.
Wonderful staff. Nice atmosphere. Im a celiac and have other allergies. Our waitress was very knowledgeable on the menu and that most items are Gluten Free. This was our first time visiting and we will definitely be the food. The guacamole is amazing!!!!
Ordered a gluten - dairy free burger, so no cheese and they suggested ketchup as a dairy free sauce, so it ended up being the driest, tasteless, unnecessarily too spicy burger I've ever eaten. Fries were just okay also. They didn't have a hand disinfectant which in my opinion is a necessity when eating burgers with hands. Not coming back again, sorry.
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.
We had a great experience. We had a gluten allergy at our table and Ember and James were amazing dealing with it tonight. And the food was delicious as usual.
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.

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

Excellent service! They were so friendly. Pizza was delicious. I had a mango juice. It had pieces of mango in it and it was not from concentrate.
They have a large plant-based menu as well as gluten free food. They have a huge selection of desserts, including gluten free and vegan.
Went to Joeys for a celebratory team night. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and taken care of. Both Jake and Ethan were incredibly attentive, ensuring we had all the water we could possibly dream of; the suggestions for both food and drink—sometimes off the menu—were stellar.
I have celiac, so getting the suggestions for how to make my plate the best it can possibly be while also being safe for me was lovely.
The molten lava cake is always my favourite.
Loved it! Food was delicious. The coconut corn bread was to die for. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great value for the quality! Super accommodating for celiacs.
I was extremely impressed with our waitress' care about my mom's gluten allergy. She even adjusted some items that weren't listed as GF to be so. The hostess had "no clue" about the gluten free options or the what was on the menu at all, but our waitress was so amazing. We will be back knowing I can eat here safely and be listened too.
Just want to rave about our experience tonight at The Keg on 130 ave SE
Just went there for our celiac son’s 18th birthday dinner and they were incredible. The menu is clearly marked for GF diners but beyond that our server, Eden, took extra care to make sure our son was looked after. All his courses were delivered to the table by kitchen managers to ensure everything was safe and no cross contamination occurred.
Well done team! That was refreshing 🥰
Great little venue supporting local music! It was packed this Saturday and staff did an amazing job keeping the pizzas and beer flowing all night. Great vibe, pizza (loved the Porkie Pie) and friends had the gluten-free option. Well worth supporting.
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!
