La Dolce Vita " snack Bar"

Ouagadougou · Italian · €⁠€

La Dolce Vita in Ottawa's Little Italy holds a Gluten-Free Approved certification from the Gluten-Free Food Program, a designation it has carried since 2020. The venue is described as a gluten-free dedicated establishment, though the owner's website notes that both gluten-free and gluten-full options are available. This means the kitchen is not 100% dedicated but follows strict separation protocols and staff training. A dedicated gluten-free menu is available on Uber Eats. Reviewers on Uber Eats who have coeliac concerns report feeling safe and having good experiences. The certification comes from a program not widely recognized as a trusted independent verification body, so it does not meet the A+ threshold. Consistent reports of dedicated protocols and clear menu marking place it at an A rating.

Le NOMADE

Ouagadougou ·

Le Nomade is a non-veg restaurant. It offers a range of vegan dishes including guacamole, hummus, daal, gazpacho, pasta, and avocado-papaya salad. The menu is broad and staff are helpful. However, the kitchen is shared and ingredient shortages can occur. One reviewer noted a lack of vegan pasta sauces, resulting in plain pasta and olive oil. Inquiry about ingredients when ordering main plates is recommended.

Patte d´oie ·

Menu items are marked GF (gluten-friendly). The venue states it is not celiac-friendly, as all food is prepared in a shared bakery facility. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged. This setup best suits those with mild gluten sensitivity. Coeliacs should call ahead to discuss options.

Ksalad

Ouagadougou · Vegetarian

The restaurant's mission is health through food, and several menu items are plant-based, including tofu, soy milk and yogurt, and sautéed rice with mushrooms. The Facebook page lists these options but does not mark allergens or detail kitchen practices for vegan cross-contamination. Staff can likely accommodate when asked, but it is safest to confirm specific requirements in advance.
