Gluten Free Or Friendly Restaurants In Toronto?

[Lissa]

Hi all! In early November I'm flying up to Toronto for a few days to have dental implant surgery. Therefore, I'm looking for places I can eat. My mother and I will be staying in the hotel at the Bloorview Kids Rehab center, so preferably, if you know of something close to that, it would be great. However, we will be going up to check ups and such for the months following the surgery, so any suggestions as to a good gluten-free or gluten friendly restarant to go anywhere in Toronto, let me know!

Thanks!

I live in Toronto and can tell you about my favourite places

Cafe Next Door on Broadview serves awesome gluten-free grilled cheese plus tons of other meals.

Il Fornello has several locations across Toronto and they have great gluten-free pizzas and pastas.

Thirty Five Elm Restaurant is very similar to Il Fornello - same kind of pizza crust and rice pastas.

If you're just looking for a quick bite, New York Fries (located in most malls) only cooks fries in their fryers (no onion rings or chicken nuggets, etc, that would contaminate the oil). The fries are awesome!! Cheese sauce and ketchup are gluten-free too.

Anyway... I am pasting the names, addresses and a short description of meals available of the places I mentioned, plus others, from my website: Open Original Shared Link (links to maps and restaurant websites are available on the site)

Don't waste your time and money at Il Fornello's. It is God awful gluten-free pizza. It is not cheap either.

The manager admitted to us that he has tried it and would not eat it again. Any other frozen pizza or frozen crust or homemade pizza is better. Dont go.

Are you finished slamming Il Fornello yet? You have posted essentially the same thing in three different topics. Repetitive posting of the same information is a violation of the board rules.

Edited to add:

Outback Steakhouse

801 Dixon Road

30 High Tech Road (Richmond Hill)

Outback closed all locations in Ontario in March of 2009.

Villa on Bloor St West Toronto and Johnny Rocco's in the Niagra Falls area were very good when I was there in August.
