4 New Celiac Restaurant Recommendations

How do restaurants qualify to appear on The Celiac Scene?

They offer a gluten-free menu?

They place gluten-free notations next to menu items?

No one has ever gotten sick from their gluten-free meals?

They paid to appear on the site?

No, no, no and definitely no!

There is no gluten-free certification process for restaurants in Canada.

Appearing on this resource means that chefs and servers have survived repeated gluten-free grillings from local celiacs:

And that they actually delivered on their gluten-free promise – to a celiac’s digestive standards.

Victoria and Vancouver Island’s amazing gluten-free community and a phenomenal set of local restauranteurs have collaborated to create the celiac-friendliest dining scene in Canada, if not all of North America! And the recommendations just keep on coming! Here are the latest:
