Fresh on Eglinton

Server asked about allergies before we ordered entrees and then dessert. Perfect for dairy free and gluten sensitive diners. Fried foods were not marked gluten safe. Some GF desserts were packaged individually, too. Overall, the food was excellent!

This menu is more tailored towards vegans but it definitely has gluten-free inclusions on the menu. I noticed that they have gluten-free and vegan options on the menu but the frying is not done in a celiac conscious way. If you don't have celiac this menu would be a very healthy and flavourful option for you. I eat at this restaurant constantly and I feel fine celiac-wise depending on what I order. Would recommend still!!

They make no effort to accommodate allergies. It is not safe for celiacs. I was told that I could « eat at my own risk » in a very hostile manner. The entire chain seems to share this aversion at accommodating allergies. It’s a shame. They need to get with the times.

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff were not knowledgeable about the risks of gluten cross contamination and the seriousness of celiac. The gluten free menu is NOT celiac safe (they have a shared fryer, among it being a small kitchen, so high risk of cross contamination). I would not recommend
