White Spot

They have gluten free buns but do not dedicate a fryer as most Whitespot locations do. Front of house staff was nice and made the effort to ask kitchen if it was safe for celiacs and kitchen staff was honest so that’s a plus!! Still it’s always disappointing when you become accustomed to great options from a restaurant chain and drive out of your way to find the “odd man out” In my experience 80-90 percent of white spots and even triple Os put amazing effort into being celiac safe and also having dedicated fryer .

They don’t claim to be a gluten free place and warn about cross contamination but do offer gluten free options.

I ordered one of the gluten free pasta dishes, was concerned when they brought a different option. They did confirm that the substitute was gluten free. It tasted amazing! I am definitely regretting eating it now.

White Spot clearly marks every order that has allergies, but unfortunately are not always successful with keeping them clean of cross contact. I get glutened here on average 1/4 times per meal. White Spot also changed the gravy to contain flour, which is a big let down as it's hard to find safe poutine away from Vancouver. I like the restaurant for being a classic and something my grandma loves to visit, but I'm always taking a gamble eating here.

One of the servers has gluten and lactose intolerance so she knows exactly how to adjust menu items to make them safe. It seems that the kitchen is aware of gluten and possible cross contamination because of her.
