I’d avoid the GF bun it’s very dry and crumbly but they the most celiac safe place I know! Dedicated fryers, very knowledgeable staff and amazing GF fried chicken! When you order online they even have a celiac option to check off.
vancouver’s cutest (and tastiest) ice cream sandwich spot! 🍪🍨
Innocent Ice Cream Parlour is such a gem — gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and absolutely packed with flavor. I grabbed a cookie sandwich with chocolate mint ice cream and it blew me away.
The cookies are soft, the ice cream is rich, and the vibe is super cozy with its pink-themed decor. Great spot for a late-night treat!
Staff were friendly and helpful, and the fact that it’s allergy-conscious makes it a go-to for everyone.
Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet, stylish, and inclusive.
Regular crust pizza is okay but not remarkable. Gluten-friendly crust pizza leaves to be desired. Home artisan potatoes are soft and don’t taste freshly made at all. Customer service is great; very thorough with modifications. We enjoyed their home made lemonade.
Absolutely fantastic. Quick service and amazing gluten free options on menu….you wouldn’t even know it was vegan ;)
the Kalimari is a absolute game changer!
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.
Let me start with “I don’t leave a review very often”.
We ate at Sopra Sotto two nights in a row it was that good. The first night we took a seat at the bar rather than wait for a table and the second night we asked to sit at the bar because of the wonderful service and interactions we had with Ruairi. Ruairi not only entertained us while we watched him making multiple cocktails but he also made great menu recommendations. The Gnocchi with Braised Beef, Rigatoni Fume Pasta and Lava Chocolate dessert were amazing.
This is the best restaurant we have been to in seven weeks of travelling.
The name of the restaurant is misleading because whilst the pizzas looked amazing it has quite an extensive variety of pasta, antipasti and desserts with a great wine list and cocktails.
I ordered gluten free pasta and desert to share with my husband and he couldn’t tell the difference….their gluten free options are that good.
BEST PLACE FOR GLUTEN FREE/VEGAN FINE DINING!!! Super fancy, absolutely delicious, amazing atmosphere with the live musicians. My fiance and I were swooning over how luxurious our anniversary dinner was. Its been a long time since we've found a place that meets our dietary restrictions AND makes us feel like we had a real fancy night out. Cannot recommend this place enough. Also, try the silk route feast! Its worth every penny!!🤤

East is East is hands-down one of the most unique and soulful dining experiences you’ll find in the city. From the moment you walk in, you’re enveloped by the cozy, bohemian vibe—dim lighting, live music, and aromatic spices drifting from the kitchen. The décor and ambiance transport you somewhere between Istanbul and Kathmandu.
I highly recommend the “Chai Feast”—a rotating selection of dishes from across the Silk Road served tapas-style. Every bite is rich, layered, and made with love. Personal standouts: the Afghan eggplant, lamb kebabs, and the mango butternut squash stew. And don’t miss their house chai—refillable, spiced to perfection, and served with a smile.
The staff are warm and knowledgeable, and the entire experience feels like you’re a guest in someone’s beautifully curated home. Whether you’re a meat-eater, vegan, or gluten-free, there’s something flavorful and nourishing here for you.
This isn’t just dinner—it’s a cultural experience. Perfect for date night, out-of-town visitors, or when you just need a warm soul-hug in the form of food.
We were here from Ontario, and read that they served gluten free burgers and fries (my wife and son both have Celiac Disease). They were delicious!! Best burger and fries they've had, and my other two sons and I both loved our non gluten free burgers too. We all liked everything so much we came back a second time during our visit! Excellent and friendly service. Highly recommend!
I will however that the very busy bartender didn't know of his own establishments policies and practices surrounding gluten free. Everything is prepared separately. Use an app like find me GF if you want a more accurate picture of any establishment.
Always a lovely evening on the patio overlooking False Creek. The food and service is great and my partner who has celiac disease never has a reaction. Thanks to Danielle and team for a great meal!
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 🎉
I have to eat gluten free ( not celiac) and the Dalorit dish (roasted butternut squash) was absolutely delicious in my opinion and of course, gluten free! I would highly recommend!
Gluten free waffles with caramel sauce and sautéed bananas. Amazing!! You can also substitute the gf waffles as a savoury base for their eggs Benedicts. So scrumptious!
Celiac friendly bar. Dedicated fryer for gluten free with lots of options. Nice layouts for sports viewing in the bar area and indoor picnic table seating area. Also an indoor games corner and outdoor seating area

They had some good choices for gluten free and vegan. They deep fry the tofu so cross contamination if you go for that but otherwise safe. It's a loud environment.

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
Wonderful food and service. They accommodated our son's peanut and tree nut allergies with ease and were so kind about it, which doesn't always happen. Such a cute vibe and location. Would come again and recommend especially to allergy families (also very gluten friendly)!
We where served so well by the staff esp Ashwanth. The food was awesome and gluten free allergy was well taken care off. Highly recommend for ambience and Tasty Indian food.
This place was great! As someone with celiac disease, it was so nice to know everything was 100% gluten free, and my non celiac fiance loved the bowl he got too.
I had the regular size porchetta with honey mustard, rice pilaf and garden salad and it was delicious and the perfect portion. Will 100% go back next time I am in the city!
But do note, there is no bathroom so make sure to not wait until you get to the restaurant like I did, assuming there would be one lol.
Server was wonderful - very knowledgeable about the menu and the wines. I got a gluten free pizza that was pretty terrible, probably the worst one I've gotten in a restaurant actually- the crust was thin and chewy, not in a good way; it was like a frozen pizza. The ceaser salad had polenta croutons that were good but there was only like 4 of them total. I felt safe as a celiac and there was lots of GF stuff on the menu to try, but definitely avoid the pizza. (If you want good GF pizza in the area go across the street to Per Se, it's the best I've ever had!) I would come back to try the other options though.
Went here tonight with my mom and we had a lovely time! Our male bartender was fantastic. Gluten free options are available and taste great! The sushi was fantastic. I definitely recommend coming here.
Really nice place to relax with a few drinks. Didn't have any food as we had just come from a café but we did get a flight and oh my god. I need to go back to get more if that blueberry basil. Until I do it will stay in my dreams, Highly recommend checking it out. They had indoor outdoor seating.
Their menu had things marked as Gluten Free although since we didn't order im not sure if they have a designated fryer or not.
Thankyou for the wonderful service staff, you were all so nice 😊
Came here with my girlfriend for lunch and Jody was absolutely wonderful. Treated us with so much kindness and had so much patience for my gluten free diet. Above all, her energy was magnetic - she was an absolute pleasure. I would come back just because of her!
Phenomenal pizza, very friendly service, gf has celiac allergy, restaurant takes proper care in minimizing cross contamination, the gluten-free crust was delicous, highly recommend. However, they are very busy. When booking a reservation, it is at least a week beforehand if you are trying to go on Friday/Saturday.
Service was amazing. Food was mediocre; brisket was good but lacked flavour; ribs were tough and dry; mac and cheese was spicy, but needed someone else; chicken was good and it was gluten free.
Hubby and I (from Australia) began our Canadian holiday with a New Year's dinner at Cardero's. Although jet lagged as we had arrived that morning, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. It was made extra special by our friendly and professional server, Katy. The food was incredible. We had the prawn cocktail and BBQ ribs as appetisers, and both were divine. We then had the signature salmon and beef tenderloin for mains and finished with the most silky and creamy peanut butter cheesecake. It was also decorated with happy anniversary for our 10th wedding anni. Katy helped me with matching wines, and this was much appreciated. We tried ice wine for the first time, and we're addicted. Menu is incredibly gluten friendly. What a delectable dinner to start our Canadian food adventures!
Our server was amazing and food was to die for - gluten free or not, best pasta and selection in the area! Would HIGHLY recommend :-) Thank you Trevor for hooking us up!
Overall, a wonderful restaurant! The food is delicious, and so many gluten free options. Most options are dairy free, too. I appreciated this so much I came back 3 times in a week! Be sure to order toum (Lebanese garlic sauce) with your food. It is the best!!!!
Only reason I’m docking a star is service related. I ordered for pickup to eat in my hotel room, and two out of three times they failed to include the cutlery, despite me both checking the box for cutlery, and also putting in the comments. Staying in a hotel, you don’t have access to cutlery, so please be sure to pay attention to customers who request it and provide it for them!!
Didn’t eat in the restaurant, but it is beautiful inside :)
Easily the top ice cream in Vancouver! All the flavors are so good and their waffle cones are truly the best I have ever had! The lines always move super quickly and staff are super sweet. This time around had the seasonal almond + sour cherry and brookie dough, which was actually from May’s menu. The brookie dough was UNREAL and it was also gluten free as well which is great that they were considerate of that. Couldn’t recommend enough!
Delicious vegetarian menu including several signature concoctions and several dishes which are also gluten free, or vegan or vegan option. Every food dish is healthy here. At least everything here is served with healthy intent. I only say this because they do serve beer and wine also.
Absolutely delicious food. Still have all of the old favorites, with some new delicious additions. Personally still enjoy their old vegetarian dishes more, but their new dishes are great as well. I have it in my rotation to have. They clearly mark the gluten free options, and the food are all flavored delicately, good for people who prefer a healthier, lighter twist of Vietnamese food. Their banhmi was delicious, definitely one of the best ive had. Not sure about authenticity but the meat was seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the bread was great. I probably won't order it too often though because I found it to be a bit too expensive for the price - but I'll order it as a treat every once in awhile.
kiona was our server on a date night and we have nothing but amazing things to say about her!! She was sooooo accommodating to our gluten allergy and just all around a friendly, positive, and helpful person. I would come back JUST to have Kiona as my server.
Gluten free heaven. You need to try their pancakes! Great portions, great prices and great flavors. The staff are always lovely too.
Be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes at busy times like Saturday morning. But it's well worth the wait!
