As someone who was diagnosed as a Celiac almost 8 years ago and as someone who eats out often I can recommend a few places.
My fave is actually in Edmonton. Chinese is especially hard to eat out because soy sauce is such a common ingredient and most often is made from wheat instead of soy (fermenting both creates the same taste, and wheat is so much cheaper than soy)... So I recommend
OPM in south Edmonton. It has a GF menu and the seven flavored beef might be the best thing in the world.
In Calgary I've had a lot of good experiences at the more expensive restaurants rather than the chains such as Earls. These places usually have great chefs and pride themselves on good service. My favorites amongst these categories where they've been very helpful include:
River Cafe, Muriettas, Mercado, Catch,
Vietnamese is great although be careful to avoid anything that might contain soy sauce or ingredients such as spring rolls.
I love sushi, which like vietnamese is mostly GF, again avoiding soy sauce or anything with tempura (although you should ask as some restaurants might use only rice flour).
If you like Indian there are a lot of restaurants that make their curries without flour (used as a thickener in some).. my fave is
Maurya in Kensington.
Rajdoot on 4th Street is also great.
I also love eating at the
King and I where the manager, staff and kitchen are very helpful and many of the Thai dishes are naturally GF. Great for lunch during the week although it can be very busy.
One of the things that help me when eating out is learning a lot of the basics of cooking.. so I know to avoid certain foods that contain gluten where it is not obvious, like the soy sauce, or sauces and gravies in general.
