Testimonial: “We had Madeline’s cousin visiting from Halifax for a couple weeks. When we toured them up to Chemainus/Ladysmith all eight of us (one celiac) enjoyed a delicious meal at Wild Poppy. We had to have take out as the restaurant was full. Wonderful to see.”
As co-owners of the Old Town (Wheat) Bakery at 510 1st Avenue in Ladysmith, Vancouver Island, Kate Cram and husband Geoff could easily be considered local celebrities! As an ‘Associate with the Culinary Institute of America‘ who also undertook to certify as a Red Seal Baker in Canada, Kate is truly baker’s baker!
Two children later, Kate and Geoff’s young sons began to experience persistent health issues that had them resorting to a gluten-free diet in search of relief. The improvement was nothing short of remarkable and a heads up to Kate that gluten may be taking a toll on her own health. The couple found themselves at a professional and personal cross roads with Kate contemplating the end of a career she loved, and their children unable to set foot within the family business.
That’s how Wild Poppy Bakery and Bistro was born!
Kids Christmas Cookie Decorating Sessions! Join Baker Kate Cram for a lesson in gluten-free food & fun! Two seatings. (10+ years and up.) Children will go home with a small decorated gingerbread house and one dozen assorted cookies.

In advance of Tartan Toque’s reopening, Brendan used his skills to hone what was already a mostly celiac-friendly menu to (almost) 100% gluten-free. ‘The Toque’ has been voted Victoria’s Best Wings many times over. Each item is made in house, from scratch.
- Wings, their sauces and – wait for it – gluten-free deep-fried pickles, calamari, crispy chicken & fries
- All deep fryers are dedicated gluten-free
- No loose flour on site, gluten or otherwise. All desserts are gluten free
- Tartan Toque is pleased to offer us Whistler’s Forager Beer, ciders and a selection of carefully curated wines.
Where’s the gluten, then?! The only gluten-containing items on the premises are hamburger & hot dog buns, wraps, croutons and a selection of gluten beers.
If you are a celiac or require a scrupulously gluten-free meal, make that crystal clear when ordering. * Staff will swap in Origin Bakery bread or bun, refresh their gloves and settings and, importantly, will use fresh toppings from un-opened bins. **
* As in any kitchen that also handles even the smallest amount of gluten, Tartan Toque cautions that the risk of cross contact, albeit remote, may still be a possibility.
** NOTE: for the oat sensitive: ‘pure’ oats are used in all burgers.
Wednesdays at Tartan Toque, second wing orders are half price! (Dine in only.)
