Gluten Free Steveston, B.C.

I visited Steveston, B.C. the other day to watch the filming of Once Upon a Time.

Immediately upon arriving I was fascinated with the town itself. Which unlike Storybrooke, is a thriving, bustling tourist spot with cute souvenir shops, coffee shops and a plethora of restaurants serving fish and chips lining the water.
While there, my family and I enjoyed the many gluten free options available.
For dinner after perusing the menus of several quayside restaurants, we settled on Dave's Fish and Chips (http://steveston.bc.ca/online/daves/) who served us tasty gluten free fish and chips.
They do not beer batter the fish, but instead coat it with rice flour and lightly fry it. I found it more palatable than other greasy fried fish I've had other places. It was delicate, flaky and made a nice meal.

For desert we headed over to Bell's Bake Shop for gluten free cupcakes. The frosting is what made this cupcake special for me. The actual cupcake was decent, but the frosting was a fluffy light mound of whipped butter and sugar- (not overly sweetened) with an airy texture. The cupcake itself was nothing to brag about not dry, but not moist, just okay. The link for their website is here if you want to check them out. (http://www.bellsbakeshop.com/)

There were other gluten free options as well including Paesanos Italian Restaurant which can substitute gluten free rice pasta in its dishes.
The other restaurants also had gluten free menus, but most of their options consisted of items like grilled fish, or salads which are naturally gluten free (so nothing very unique there).


I so enjoyed watching the filming of Once Upon a Time; but I don't think it would have been as special if it weren't for the tasty food.
