Khao san road
Vegan Options
Khao San Road is a restaurant that is just as popular with the gluten sensitive crowd, as it is with the gluten insensitive crowd (I’m going to call them that for now).
Fresh and spicy Thai dishes bursting with flavour take centre-stage at this chic eatery. Do be aware that it is difficult to grab a seat on weekends!
In regards to cross-contamination and celiac safety, Khao San Road does offer a completely separate gluten-free menu but it does cost more to order your dishes gluten-free. They take great care in minimizing cross-contamination, and I personally have never had a reaction. However, the restaurant is not 100% wheat-free, so do keep that in mind and communicate your specific needs with your server.
Favourite Dish: Thai Red Curry

riz GLUTEN FREE ASIAN KITCHEN

Evergreen Thai Kitchen and Bar
Vegan Options
Evergreen Thai Kitchen and Bar is a cozy spot near bustling Yonge & Dundas.
This food here is not perhaps as refined or as flavour-forward as the food offered at Khao San Road or Pai. However, it is a fair bit cheaper, and still hits the spot.
Something I really like is that all of the allergens are clearly stated on the menu. There is also a lot of variety, which isn’t the case at some of the others restaurants mentioned.
Evergreen is a solid Thai restaurant, that has a menu that is easy to navigate. If you need a safe spot to grab food or takeout at a reasonable price, try it out!
Favourite Dish: Spicy Fish
Location:
175 Dundas St W
bangkok garden
Vegan Menu Available
If you like your meals alongside a breathtaking interior, Bangkok Garden has a gorgeous (albeit kitschy) space inspired by Thailand. There is even a mini river inside!
Rather than the usual “Thailand street” aesthetic, Bangkok Garden takes design inspiration from more Royal Thai designs. The food is also delicious, and they offer all of your usual fare (phad thai, curries, phad see eew). Their allergens are also clearly listed, which is very much appreciated!
