An in-depth guide to the gluten-free-friendly restaurants of Toronto
Toronto is a gold-mine of restaurants that are happy to lean into different dietary needs.
Whether you’ve got a gluten intolerance or you’re full-on celiac, there’s a long list of eateries that are serving food that’s safe for you, that doesn’t compromise on flavour.
These are Toronto’s most delicious, gluten-free-friendly restos.
Moxie’s

While most commercial and big chain restaurants offer gluten-free menus that aren’t so gluten-friendly towards celiacs, Moxie’s made it onto this list for the sole purpose that they take allergies very seriously and do their best to provide modifications to your meal so that you can have an equally awesome experience. My personal favourites are the Kale and Quinoa salad, and they have a gluten free cheesecake! There are several locations, so this place definitely won’t be hard to find.

The Keg Steakhouse
The Keg takes allergies extremely seriously. They list gluten-free dishes clearly on their menu and will make sure that a manager comes out to speak to you in regards to your gluten-free meal. My favourite is the BBQ ribs and fries! The best part is that there are several locations across Toronto and the GTA, so it’s very accessible.

Taylors Landing
Okay, this place is obsession-worthy. Why? Because they have so many gluten-free options on their menu and the items that are labeled gluten-free are made to be GF rather than having to be modified! They are super knowledgeable when it comes to allergies. Favourites are the nachos, the wings, and the steak frites. Taylor’s Landing is located at Shops at Don Mills but they also have many locations across Toronto!
