1. Chronic Tacos
I keep coming back and I keep having wonderful dining experiences. The staff here are all just so nice! Every single time I eat here someone comes over to check on the meal and talk to us about how much they love making food, how they try to make as…More »

Went here on Saturday to pick up wheat-free flours for a gluten-free pie crust based on a recipe posted on their website, and lo and behold, there, on sale, was a huge display of gluten-free pie crust mix. Thank you Whole Foods for making…More »

I am very glad that my boyfriend has moved east. Sure, he's further from my apartment now, but he lives in such a great neighbourhood! With cheap grocery stores!
We went to Dollar Grocers on Saturday to pick up some stuff for dinner. I was amazed by…More »

Category:
Canadian (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Downtown Eastside
It's a diner, but it's a classy diner. You can get your old school classics like grilled cheese or you can be a little more adventurous and try some high-falutin' grilled cheese, like I did last night -- delicious with four types of cheese and…More »
5. UBC Farm Market
Saturday mornings at the farm -- there's nothing better than this.
My boyfriend and I went a couple weeks ago when we were up at UBC to see the botanical gardens. The sign for the market was still up, so we decided to check it out. Totally worth it.…More »

I was here last night for post-softball burgers with a fellow gluten-free friend. We wanted burgers that we could eat, and I love that the Wallflower could provide. The gluten-free bun was delicious, although it does tend to fall apart more than…More »

Best brunch in the city. Hands down.
As someone who avoids wheat and gluten, I greatly appreciate when a breakfast menu doesn't revolve around bread and wheat. I had numerous options that were delicious and wheat-free if I ignored the grilled…More »
8. The Ladle
The vegan mushroom soup from the Ladle sustained me every day I was up at SFU. So good!

Oh, Budgies. You make the best burritos in this city. I don't care that you're only vegetarian, your burritos are so good all my carnivorous friends love you. The Jame Dog is so good.

Vancouver, BC V6T 2A5
(604) 822-6999
I was starving this morning and got a pumpkin pecan gluten-free cupcake today -- and it was edible! Still pretty crumbly, but it tasted almost like a normal baked good!

11. Romer's Burger Bar
They do have some pretty great burgers, but the whole place just left a "meh" taste in my mouth.
My manpanion, best bud and I have been on a burger adventure in Vancouver. Romer's seemed like the next logical stop. We salivated over their menu online,…More »

They have gluten-free batter! I can eat this stuff! Amazing!
My boyfriend picked us up some fish for dinner, as we were heading to a pub quiz and running out of time. It took a while for us to meet up, so the fish wasn't at its best, but we scarfed it…More »

I feel a little embarrassed when I come here for succumbing to a chain restaurant, but honestly, this Cactus Club is pretty great. Servers are always super polite and pleasant, the food is good and everyone can find something they want. I come here…More »

This place is pretty fantastic. As someone who tries to avoid eating wheat, I was super impressed with the gluten-free options. The chai blueberry oatmeal pancakes were such a delicious treat for someone who's pretty much given up on having decent…More »
16. Baguette Box
My friend Jeff wanted fancy sandwiches so we went to Baguette Box. Fancy sandwiches indeed, although he said his drunken chicken sandwich was half amazing and saucy, and half dry, normal fried chicken.
Considering I don't eat wheat anymore, I was…More »
17. Greenspot Cafe
This place is supposed to have great coffee and awesome gluten-free food, but I didn't get to try anything because they closed at 5, right as I was walking up to the door! So sad.
18. Mountain Mercato
Apparently this place has the best coffee in Canmore. As I was already severely caffeinated, I didn't try any, but my mum's iced latte looked divine. I was impressed that I was able to get a wheat-free cookie here to satisfy my sweet tooth no…More »

Stopped by for a few things on my way home from a doctor's appointment. Took me forever to find the gluten-free bread (in a lone freezer near the produce, by the way) but they did have several varieties of the Kinnikinnick brand breads and some…More »

Popped in yesterday on my way to the grocery store, as I was so excited that it was finally open! This is a vegan bakery, with gluten-free items as well. By the time I got there (around 5:30) there wasn't a ton of gluten-free items left, but I tried…More »

For those…More »

Huge beer list full of things I can't drink, due to my gluten-intolerance. I was fully prepared to be the tool who orders a mixed drink at a beer bar but I thought I'd ask if they had gluten-free beer. And they did! The bartender was super excited to…More »
32. Mark's Pizzeria
I was in Medina visiting my boyfriend's family, who very graciously tried to find me gluten-free things to eat as I am gluten-intolerant. For their Christmas Eve party, they ordered a gluten-free cheese pizza from Mark's that was surprisingly…More »

I've been back several time and the service has greatly improved. No one forgets my order this time, and everyone is super friendly! Today they had a great gluten-free chocolate tart that I couldn't resist, and I'm glad I didn't! So good!

Dude. S'mores. Gluten-free s'mores. Oh yeah.

It looks like a wannabe Cactus Club/Donnelly type place, but it's not all that bad. We came here for a hangover brunch last weekend and were pleased that they were still serving brunch at 1:30pm (it was a rough weekend). My manfriend got the basic…More »
