My Celiac heaven! I moved from Toronto to Haileybury in 2020 and I'm so grateful for Dida's. We are happy to make the drive to access safe, delicious food. I always feel so cared for and have never once gotten sick. Yesterday we were seated at the bar and watched the kitchen prepare our food through the plexiglass. I felt so safe seeing their cross-contact protocols in action!

I highly recommend this place to anyone who has Celiac Disease or gluten sensitivity. They get it, will take amazing care of you, the food is amazing and your non-GF friends and family will love it...

Absolutely superb dining experience that I couldn’t...
Read moreI was visiting my birth daughter in the area recently, and we went to Dida's twice for lunch. My daughter had raved about this restaurant so I had to try it out. Other reviewers say it surpassed their expectations by far, and that's absolutely how I feel too. The owner is passionate, meticulous and incredibly nice. We are gluten and dairy intolerant, and the items we wanted were available to suit our needs. Everything was great - and the soups were heavenly!! On our second visit I tasted pickerel for the first time. Fish and chips! People, this place could show Kingston how it's done! I'm an 8 hour drive away but I'm really looking forward to my...
