Gluten-free Toronto

Eating gluten free here: Easy

Toronto is an easy city for coeliacs: a dozen fully gluten-free kitchens downtown alone, from pho and dumplings to tacos, French pastry and gelato.

What to ask
I have celiac disease, so it has to be gluten free with no cross-contact. Is this made away from flour, and does it go in a separate fryer?

Where to eat

100% gluten free

The whole kitchen is gluten free. Order anything.

Coeliac-careful kitchen

Not a gluten-free kitchen, but trained for coeliacs: accredited, a separate fryer or a separate menu with real protocols.

Good gluten-free options

Plenty you can eat and staff who get it, in a kitchen that also uses flour. Say it's coeliac, not a preference.

Before you go

West of downtown is the sweet spot.

Bloor West, Dundas West, Queen West and Kensington Market have most of the fully gluten-free places, many a short walk apart.

Ask about the fryer.

Coeliac diners call a dedicated gluten-free fryer the top priority, and several pubs and fish-and-chip shops here have one.

Watch for oats.

Some fully gluten-free places bake with oats. Ask if oats are a problem for you.

How Chef checks: every place here says it on its own site, or a coeliac writer who ate there does, and we link which. We checked on October 29, 2026. Kitchens change, staff change: if it's coeliac disease, say so every time. Photos marked "a photo like it" aren't of that place. No place paid to be here.

Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
