| - ****First a disclaimer to those who have called this place overpriced.
You are mistaken. Gluten free baking and cooking is expensive. There are few ways to cut costs. Our flours cost three times if not more than standard wheat flour. Also, we need to use a combination of flours to make bread and other items. Next time you are in a show look at rice flour, potato starch, amaranth flour, potato flour, quiona flour and x. gum. All of that goes into some flour blends. Ok, i am off my soap box now.

Review:
A friend forwarded the BlogTO post on the KCR and we decided to try it out last night! It was the perfect night to be out on a patio eating delicious food!
As someone who can't eat wheat, gluten, dairy/ casein and soy, this cafe played host to all my culinary dreams. I could order most items without having to ask the restuarant a million questions that aren't often understood by those without dietary and allergy restrictions.
If you have a corn allergy, this place is not for you with items that are battered. All the batter is made out of corn. Also, the gravy is thickened with cornstarch, be aware. I didn't ask if they only have one fryer....hm, next time.
The bread is amazing and from Molly B's. You can purchase it directly from KCR as well. They had a greate selection of sandwiches. It was so delicious to bite into Challah bread that tasted like Gluten filled bread. It was fresh and so lovely. Note: the bread is wheat and gluten free. the bread is also dairy, corn and nut free.
** Celiacs, esp new ones, be aware to ask questions re: are items wheat free and gluten free.
The poutine is amazing. Seriously amazing. Eating fries without thinking or asking or fearing they are flour-coated is a magical.
All four gluten free beers are available here. Note: the Red Ale is gluten free but not wheat free. (buckwheat and millet in it - i am not here to debate buckwheat and millet's safety, you can decide for yourself and your body).
This resturant proves that Gluten Free can be delicious. I would suggest a different batter for the nuggets. the nuggets were kinda dry, but we could tell they were real chicken. BONUS! almond crust is a fave of mine, but it also quite expensive.
The restaurant boasts of fresh produce and ingredients. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Also a sign of a great space!
thanks KCR!!!! i can't wait to bring more GF friends to your space!
