Celiac Friendly Countries: Canada



Today's Celiac Friendly Country is America's friendly neighbor to the north: Canada. Many people have their opinions about Canada. I have my opinions as well. I love Canada, I have always wanted to visit Canada. Canada has so much that I want to see, and now that I know they are Celiac friendly, I want to visit the country now more than ever.

Canada's Celiac program, The Canadian Celiac Association, is the national voice of those diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and Gluten Intolerance. CCA is driven to improving Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance diagnoses.

Those in the Celiac community that live in, or have traveled to Canada, have recommended the following restaurants:
  • Off Broadway (Prince Edward Island)
  • St. James' Gate (Prince Edward Island)
  • Fisherman's Wharf Lobster Suppers (Prince Edward Island)
  • Home Place Inn & Restaurant (PEI-You must call this restaurant in advance)
  • Moxies
  • Kelsey's
  • Panne Rizo Bakery Cafe (Vancouver-The owner of the restaurant has Celiac Disease).
There are many more to list. The links below will guide you to a listing of Celiac Friendly restaurants. If you find yourself in Canada, check out these restaurants! In Canada, not only will you have a great vacation, you will be able to eat without worry.
