Water St. Café

We were all hungry and struggling to find a place that felt safe near our hotel. We stopped in and were told they had GF pasta and gnocchi! My two celiac children and myself had the GF pasta, it was delicious. My husband ordered fries and the servers were concerned to let us know that not only was there risk of cross contamination but that the fries were coated prior to frying. Disappointing but I appreciated their attention. No problems after…good experience for a not dedicated facility!

The kitchen staff came out to inquire about the severity of my gluten issues after I told the waitress, and when I told them that cross contamination is an issue, they cooked my halloumi on a separate pan.

Plus, bonus, the food was delicious

Great location, right across the street from the Gastown Steam Clock. Offered GF corn based penne as a substitute for their pasta dishes. They also offer a GF gnocchi, which is what I ordered. My wife ordered a pasta dish, but the server thought their GF pasta as a spaghetti, which would have made my wife's dish better for the sauce she ordered. Service was good and they did not charge us for the pasta dish because of the mix-up on noodle type.
