Canal Bistro

Absolutely delicious food and amazing service! The staff is very knowledgeable about cross contamination and making recommendations. Some items that are marked gluten free are not safe for celiac’s (shared grill/fryer) but if you tell them you cannot have any CC they’ll direct you to what is totally safe or make accommodations in how it’s prepared, if possible. Such an amazing experience. I can’t wait to go back.

We ate there last night & I still feel fine! Kyro was our waiter & he was exceptionally helpful & kind. Not a lot of safe options, but Kyro recommended the portobello sandwich without the pita. It was delicious!!

Excellent service. Staff will ask if they’re unsure, menu is clearly labeled (one typo but they checked with kitchen) and they know it’s not safe to share a fryer. Bonus: several gf items so you don’t need to eat the same thing each time. I bring my own gf pita to use in the baba ganoush.

Had a scare when we bit into the dolmas and saw something that looked a lot like cous cous but turned out to be rice. Despite this reassurance there must have been some pretty bad cross contamination or something because 24 hours later I was in the bathroom with classic gluten symptoms.

Wow! To say our experience was amazing is an understatement. My fiancé & I are both gf (he’s celiac & I’m highly sensitive) & I also have a dairy allergy. Not only is the food outstanding with a solid selection for us both, but our server was incredible-knowledgeable, kind, and very diligent with our allergies. It’s been more than 12hrs since our visit & my fiancé & I both feel great. Go here!

Great Greek restaurant. Many Gf options, staff was knowledgeable. Food was amazing. Service was quick. They have a great covered patio. Would definitely go back again because there were other items I want to try.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

fantastic food and fantastic atmosphere. They have a large selection that includes gluten free items. They're not marked on the online menu, but are at the restaurant. They made a note on the reservation and the server was knowledgeable and cautious.
