The Blue Poppy - Brentwood Bay

Menu is clearly marked. Items are cafeteria style and all items are covered and wrapped so not cross contaminated. Had strawberry lime cake available which wasn’t listed on the menu! Many good choices

We were truly impressed with the gluten-free options at this restaurant! The food was of excellent quality, comparable to fine dining. We ordered the steak frites, which was cooked to perfection at medium rare and seasoned just right. My daughter enjoyed the seafood pasta and can't stop talking about its delicious sauce. They even offered gluten-free desserts; we tried the trifle and the brownie, both of which were fantastic. If you're visiting Butchart Gardens, I highly recommend stopping by this place!

I ordered the Soup of the Day, which I was told is always gluten-free. Today, it was curry cauliflower, and it was absolutely delicious! I also had the Wildberry Trifle, and it was fantastic! Their gluten-free options are quite extensive, and I was genuinely impressed.

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience. While at Butchart Gardens, I anticipated limited dining options. However, everything was clearly labeled, and ingredient lists were available upon request. They offered soup, salads, and a few desserts. I tried a Thai salad with rice noodles, which was quite decent. More importantly, it felt safe and satisfying, unlike the countless times I've encountered just an open bag of iceberg lettuce with no dressing.

This is our second visit to this restaurant, and once again, we encountered no issues. Located within Butchart Gardens, it has a cafeteria-style setup, but the food definitely doesn’t taste like typical cafeteria fare. It's quite good! The gluten-free desserts are especially delightful. The menu is easy to navigate, with clear markings, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall, the food is flavorful and fresh, and the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing.
