Dining out sans-gluten? You’re in luck! We’ve put together a handy list of gluten-free items on the menus of some of your favourite Squamish restaurants.
Gluten-Free Breakfast:
Breakfast is generally safe as a gluten-free diner, however being able to find gluten-free oatmeal on a menu is always an extra special treat. Crabapple Cafe’s Oatmeal & Friends, served with raisins, cranberries, honey, pecans and choice of milks is both vegan and gluten-free. Over at Fergie's Cafe you'll also find plenty of GF breakfast and brunch options on their delectable menu.
Gluten-Free Casual Fine Dining:
The Salted Vine boasts a meticulously crafted gluten-free menu that features appetizers, mains, and desserts. With an impressive selection of seafood, pasta, and grill offerings, prepare to be captivated by the exquisite flavors of their West Coast-inspired dishes.
Gluten-Free Cajun:
Copper Coil Still and Grill has several clearly marked GF options throughout their menu including their New Orleans Jambalaya and Blackened Chicken.
Gluten-Free Burgers:
The lamb burger at Howe Sound Brew Pub is a house-made patty served with a spicy fruit chutney, curry mayo lettuce and tomato with the option to order on a gluten-free bun.
Gluten-Free Ethnic:
Most of the dishes at Essence of India are naturally gluten-free when without naan. Try the Chicken Vindaloo, made with potatoes, mushrooms, peppers and coconut milk (which makes it dairy free as well). Saha Eatery also provides a nice selection of gluten-free dishes including falafel, fried cauliflower and grilled harissa chicken.
Gluten Free To-Go:
The chefs at Locavore Food Truck can get pretty creative for their gluten-free friends. Ask for a Bunless Banh Mi on a salad for a healthy gluten-free meal to go.
