Gluten-Free in Toronto

If you are your friend is gluten-intolerant, going out can be an intimidating prospect. Here is a list of places I've been that offer gluten-free options. The price range varies, but each has its own specialties.

1. Villa Restaurant

2277 Bloor St W
Toronto, ON M6S 1P1
(416) 761-9222

Categories: Italian, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free

Neighbourhood: Swansea

If you're gluten-intolerant and looking for a classy meal, Villa is a great option. This place really surpasses Il Fornello in every way, and it's obvious because the menus for both places are very similar, even though Il Fornello is a chain.

5/22/2011

This place is located in the northeast corner of the St. Lawrence market basement; it's not big but the flavours are worth a repeat visit.

Raw food isn't cheap to make, so you're going to pay a bit more here than some of the other market vendors.…More »

I've been here numerous times and I can't think of a meal I didn't love. I see some comments about wait staff hipster attitude but I guess I've been pretty lucky because they've always treated me well! My favorite menu option is the choice of bowls…More »

Pasta Co is easy to miss but this cosy Italian diner welcomes a reliable crowd of local military personnel and office workers. If you sign up for the mailing list (info@pastaco.ca), you'll receive the daily specials, including sandwich, soup, and…More »

Come on you miserable-looking sods! You're surrounded by exclusive artisan produce and enough organic stock to buy you a round trip to the righteous land of holier-than-thou Vegan Saints, so why can't you turn that frown upside down?

I've been here several times over the last year and I can't say that things have gotten better. The trouble is, the menu changes, portions get smaller, and prices go higher. Service has taken a bit of a nosedive - I came here for dinner last night…More »

Best Washrooms in Toronto (7)

It might seem trite to those who can hold it in all day, but if you're like many, you appreciate a welcome respite from the grimy desperation of fast food joints and...dare I say it? The nefarious depths of Union Station or (heaven forbid) Tim Hortons.

Some of these might be difficult to enter without buying a meal first, but you might get away with it. If you're desperate, it's worth a shot. Don't be intimidated by high-end decor - it's always worth it when you consider the alternative!

Sheppard Avenue Schlep (9)

There are many who say that life ends North of Bloor, so the vast unknown reaches North of the 401 must amount to untouched, unexplored wilderness, right?

Not so much. You may not be in Kansas anymore, but I assure you that it's hardly the soul-crushing boredom zone some may fear. Check it out sometime - you might just be surprised.

I've included destinations located on Sheppard Ave or within walking distance...max 15 minutes!
