_www.theceliacscene.com_ (http://www.theceliacscene.com/) is a listing of
individual restaurants that are gluten free in Canada. The website is run
by a celiac, the restaurants are recommended by Celiacs and generally the
restaurants are checked out by celiac’s in the area like the local chapter.
There also is the Road Scene button which covers chain restaurants in
North America, however of the 52 chains listed about 15 of them are in Canada
and the rest are in the USA only.
I highly recommend Il Fornello which is a chain of Italian restaurants in
Toronto – they have GF pasta and GF pizza, and funny enough, the pizza
shells come from a bakery in Vancouver, BC called Quejos. They also have the
Quejos buns the last time I was there that you could order as bruchetta
(tomato mixture on top of bread and then a light amount of parmesan cheese and
it gets put under the broiler). It is a funny relationship – in Vancouver
we did not have a pizza/pasta restaurant like it for many years (like the
27 years I have been diagnosed), yet we have the products made at the Quejo’
s bakery and they supplied to Toronto. I am still amazed that a business
relationship that I set up 15 years ago when gluten free at restaurants was
still considered out there, is still going strong. I travelled full time
at that time of my life and happened to go to one of the restaurants and I
submitted customer feedback online explaining that spelt pizza that they
were offering at that time was NOT gluten free which is what they were
advertising (and it was wrong). I also mentioned that in Vancouver, BC where I
live there are quite a few bakeries that produce gluten free pizza crusts and
one I really like as it is thin crust. The next thing I knew the owner of
the chain was in Vancouver, phoning me up and asking me where the bakeries
were! The rest is history. I just love the chain and every time I am in
Toronto I go there – it is a requirement!
Have a great trip!

grocery stores stock g-f items as well. Il Fornellos offers g-f options as

My aunt lives in Toronto, so when I saw this recently, I sent it to her.
Not sure it's convenient to where you'll be, but:
"Chelsea, a reader in Toronto, wrote: "The Starving Artist cafe/waffle bar
in Toronto (near Bloor/Lansdowne) has really awesome gluten-free (and
vegan)
waffles. You can substitute the GF waffles in any of their waffle
meals/desserts." That's another place on my list of places to try.

My friend Henny Groenendijk, also based in Toronto, told me about a new
gluten-free bakery in Oakville, Ontario. It's called Voila Gluten Free
Bakeree ([address] 22 Lakeshore West, Unit 6; [tel] 289-837-0110; [web]
www.voilaglutenfreebakeree.com)."
