Eating out when you have Celiac disease can sometimes be a negative experience. Watching my son choose freely from the menu at Almond Butterfly and to get really good GF food was totally worth the trip. We will return!

Totally gluten free! It's the best place in Toronto to be celiac and forget about it for a little time.

Food was delicious, we both got French toast. Loved that the menu is gluten free. Service was fine, nothing special but server was nearby (it’s a small place). We were asked to leave after an hour “due to the next party coming in” even though there was 5 tables of 2 still available. Didn’t feel good to be asked if they can bring the bill, while we are still chatting and finishing our coffees. Left a little bad taste in my mouth, but would go back again.

I can eat gluten but my boyfriend cannot, and it was really nice to go out for dinner where he could order anything on the menu and we could even share food. The food was great, I'd recommend it even for those of us who don't need gluten-free.

The food was great as was the service. I only wish I could have gotten a small side of fries with the avocado salmon dish. I could only order large shareable fries which was too much so I ordered the traditional. It was still a great meal.

This is my second time at ABB. I loved it the first time, however, this time around I didn't quite enjoy the food. The bread was really hard and small (no pun intended), my over hard eggs were burnt. What saved the food was the bacon and the pancake stack. Overall, the service was great and I really do like this place but just wish the food was done better overall.

Wonderful to have so many GF options. We ordered the fish and chips. Both were very crispy and tasty which was great. It was just unfortunate there was too much salt on the chips.

This place is a diamond in the rough. You drive up and the neighborhood is a bit deceiving. You walk inside and it is cute and quaint. The server was amazingly kind, attentive and very helpful in making the best choices for food and drinks. I had the banana Nutella pancakes with a side of chorizo sausage. The sausage was perfect spicy and the pancakes with syrup were absolutely amazing. My husband had the pancakes with berry compote with a side of eggs and bacon. He loved it all. The portions were huge and I could only eat 1/3 of mine. He ate about 3/4 of his. The restrooms downstairs were absolutely adorable with a full lounge area outside. I give this place 100 stars. Highly recommend when in Toronto.

This was my 2nd time here. First time I ordered the smoked salmon on bread w/cream cheese and eggs…that was not great, bread was too hard, not enough flavour either to the meal. This time I ordered the traditional breakfast w/side avocado and it was perfectly made. The bacon was crisp, little potatoes were super extra crispy and delicious! Fresh squeezed orange was super yummy too and both times I went, the service was good and no wait time with both resos.

It was great to find a gf brunch restaurant. Very pleasant experience overall. The crispy chicken had a lot of chicken on it but the crust a bit overcooked and chicken a bit undercooked and I don’t think it was seasoned at all. W e loved the onion rings. I liked the french toast but my granddaughter didn’t care for the almond extract taste. I was told the bread crust of the smoked salmon toast was too thick and hard to cut.

Wow what a wonderful Gluten free bistro ! All food ,drinks were GF and delicious - our burgers with Cajun fried potatoes we had the first night were the best we've had anywhere! The second night we dined there ( just had to!) The creamy chicken pesto pasta was also the best we've ever eaten , their bread is next level yum! Great service and reasonable prices.A great selection of home made cookies, slices too.

My AB Burger was very very good. The fries at AB are always delicious. The granola was good but not fresh or crispy enough but it was still ok. I will always come again as they have amazing quality food most of the time.

First time there, we will definitely go back. I don’t like to complain perhaps I should have asked for a fresh order of fries that came with the delicious light crispy coated fish!! The Fries were over cooked to our liking and not nice and hot. None the less they were tasty!! No old grease for sure!!’ The burger was fabulous!!! Totally like home made!! Who doesn’t love a great burger. !!

We came for lunch on a Monday. Mistake! My chicken was recycled from the weekend, a tough and dried out chicken breast. Something in the sandwich made me feel ill, depleted and buzzed. Thought it might be sulfites. I only ate half the sandwich, which was more than enough. Amen.
Almond Butterfly BistroResponded on September 13, 2023
Hi Ellen, thanks for dining with us. Sorry the experience did not live up to expecations. However, I can personally assure you that the chicken was certainly not recycled from the weekend. It sounds like there was a miscook, which we will always rectifiy asap. As we guarantee 100% complete satisfaction, we do rely on our guests to inform us of any issues during the server's quality check. If the server did not perform the required quality check, then I apologize, and will address the matter. Thank-you again for visiting. - David, Owner/COO

What a gem - a gluten free bistro in a great location - with patio or indoor seating. Very unique, fun atmosphere. The food was very good and there is a variety of options to choose from on the menu. The coffee is delicious! The restaurant is nice and clean with a trendy feel to it. We will definitely visit this restaurant again next time we are in town.

I ordered onion rings but they were dry and I could hardly taste any onions in them. Service was great. I am on the fence as far as promoting but my friends had been there before and I'd give it an okay rating.
