Eddie Burger + Bar, Banff, Canada
Almost every night of the week in Banff there is a food special on at one of the pubs/restaurants. Now you would assume that $6 cheese burger night at The Eddie wouldn’t be coeliac friendly. However I was assured that The Eddie had gluten free burger buns and sure enough having a quick look at their website not only do they have gluten free buns but the beef patty was also gluten free.
So I headed on down to The Eddie and ordered a gluten free cheese burger. The burgers came out and whilst mine looked smaller than my friends glutenous one I was just happy that they had gluten free buns!
The verdict – the bun wasn’t bad (not the best but definitely not the worst I have had) and overall the burger was yum!
When I got the bill the waitress said ‘…unfortunately I had to charge you extra…’ at this point I thought she was going to say ‘…for the gluten free bun…’ but I was amazed that I wasn’t actually being charged extra for the gluten free bun just for the tomato I had added to my burger (a little pricey at 75 cents for one slice but hey I wasn’t going to complain).

Nourish, Banff

Just when you thought there could not be anymore restaurants in Banff with gluten free options. I have one more for now… and it’s a good one. It took me 10 months of living in Banff and finally in my last month of living there I got around to visiting Nourish. I had been told
The Elk & Oarsman, Banff

As I have mentioned before there are a number of places with gluten free options in Banff, and The Elk and Oarsman Pub & Grill is no exception to this. I was very excited to find that The Elk & Oarsman actually have a separate two page (!!) gluten free menu. I usually go to the

Another (reasonably) gluten free friendly option in Banff is Magpie & Stump. I had wanted to try out their menu ever since going there for a few drinks one night. The interior is very well done and it has a great atmosphere. If you go just for drinks you get to de-shell peanuts on the ground (who
Earls, Canada

Earls is one of my favourite places to eat dinner in Banff and it was a winner with my family when they came and visited too. It looks quite fancy and therefore the first time I went there I expected it to be rather expensive. However I was plesantly suprised, it has a great atmosphere, reaonsable prices, great
Phil’s Restaurant, Banff, Canada

Phil’s is an American style diner open for breakfast and lunch in Banff. I had been told by a few people that it wasn’t that great but a couple of friends and I decided to test it out for brunch any way. My first impression was that it probably hasn’t changed much since it opened
Eagle’s Eye Restaurant, Kicking Horse, BC, Canada

The first time I went to Kicking Horse we walked into Eagle’s Eye Restaurant and pretty much walked straight back out. You see working in the ski industry in Banff doesn’t pay too well and Eagle’s Eye looked like an expensive fine dining restaurant. We ended up eating at Whitetooth Grill at the bottom of
Gluten free friendly supermarkets, USA and Canada

I have to admit I didn’t do a huge amount of cooking whilst I was in the US. For the first two months, while working at a summer camp, all of my meals were cooked for me. Then I started traveling and since I wasn’t staying in one place for more than four nights there wasn’t

I was slightly concerned when I first decided to move to Banff in Canada for the winter season. The reason? Well it’s a small town and I was uncertain whether there would be many options for me when eating out. But it turns out I had no need to be worried, as there are plenty
The Cambie Bakery and Cafe – Vancouver

I have been living out of hostels for almost 6 weeks now and one of the great things about them is that pretty much all provide free breakfast. However this is not such a perk when you are coeliac as the free breakfast tends to consist of toast, bagels and glutenous cereals. A number of
Counter Burger Crows Nest

An old work colleague introduced me to Counter Burger in Crows Nest last year. At first I was reluctant to try it as I was an avid fan of Grill’d which happened to be across the road (and who offer gluten free buns for their burgers). However, I gave Counter Burger a try and have

Isn’t it wonderful to have the option. Even if it isn’t the best bun in the world (and let’s face it, it probably won’t be) at least it is there for us to choose to eat and enjoy with our friends.
