Any Good Gluten-free Restaurants In Ottawa?

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knows of restaurants in the Ottawa (Canada) region that actually cater to people with celiac disease (or other food allergies). I go out to eat often, but I always have to pick out stuff on the menu that I can eat (this can be a challenge as I do not eat gluten OR dairy). I've heard of restaurants that actually have a gluten-free menu or that cook their own gluten-free pasta or pizza, etc...but I've never known any restaurants like this. I know it's a long-shot..but anyone around the Ottawa region that knows?

Thanks!

I just ate at So Good Restaurant on Somerset - TONS of gluten free items. You tell the Owner Peter that you can't eat gluten and he'll hook you up with fantastic service. Will even give you a fortune cookie and tell you not to eat it :)

check it out at Open Original Shared Link

Also, Outback Steakhouse has a gluten free menu where everyting is available G.F. (save a few sauces).

Also check out Mongolian Village (Olgilvie Road or Bells Corners)

Of course, The Table and the Green Door are awesome vegetarian/vegan restaurants with the best quality g.f. food you'll find anywhere.

Govinda's Hari Krishna restaurant on Somerset is likely gluten free (it's vegan).

La Dolce Vita on Preston serves gluten free pizza.

So that gives you a good start.... begin with the Green Door... my FAVE :)

Ha! Thanks for your post. I am a little late replying... it's funny, I don't come on there boards often, and this particular post hadn't been answered for ages..and I just had a feeling that someone replied to my post! Great...thanks for some suggestions. I called La Dolce Vita one weekend, and alas...they were out of gluten-free pizza!! I ended up finding another place, Bella Vista Restaurant (I think it's called?) on Alta Vista that serves delicious gluten-free pizza and fettucine, too. However, I have a love/hate relationship with dairy. I'm 100% positive that it makes me sick and itchy..but i do eat it from time to time. I've never been to Mongolian Village, but am closer to Ogilvie Rd. so maybe will check that out. I used to go to Oh So Good waaay before i started eating gluten free and haven't been back there in years, so maybe i will have to try it out again... wondering if they can do any "dairy-free" versions of anything?? I do go to Green Door from time to time, seeing as my bf is veggie...very tasty, yes!

Thanks again

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
