Top 17 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Montréal

100% GF I’m Celiac but I went to this place with many friends who don’t have to be on a GF diet and they all loved it!

Brooke Waters

Delicious celiac safe establishment with world class baked goods and crepes. Their almond and chocolate croissants are fantastic! The crepes were devine. The owners were present, extremely friendly and confirmed their food was celiac safe. I was diagnosed with celiac 8 months ago. In my prior life, an almond croissant with morning coffee was a favorite. This was my first gluten free croissant and it was the best one I’ve ever had…better than I remember. Please visit this cafe and enjoy everything on their menu. Bon appetite!

bread and frozen quiche :)

Not the fanciest bakery and was missing some products, but the food they did have was amazing. It is always great to find these hidden bakeries that are 100% gluten-free. I will definitely be returning.

Allegra Nardulli

This spot is the ultimate bakery for the flakiest gluten and dairy free pastries!! It is by far my favourite gluten free bakery! I would go back to Montreal just to visit this spot 😍

delicious gluten free crepes! had a sweet one with apples and pears and caramel, wasn't bad. my husband had a savory one with egg and it was great! the people working there messed up though, we put in the order for 2 crepes and they only made the savory one for some reason. they came out and asked me what I ordered and I had to wait another 20 mins for it. it was especially strange since we were the only customers so not really sure how that happened, and we were in a bit of a rush so having to wait was annoying. they were nice about it though.

Amazing gluten free treats! Had a few different items from this bakery and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness of the baked goods. Highly recommend!!

Frank Lee

Ok gluten free and pao de queso

Pardis Shariati

Many gluten free options, great ambience, love the music and good service.

Amazing Indonesian and Malaysian food! Brings back memories of my trip to Bali. As a celiac I love that it is 100% gluten free. I need to eat here every time I come to Montreal.

Valerie Humphry

Wonderful food, excellent service with live music! The portions are the perfect size per person! We had the poutine, lamb pasta with gluten-free pasta available, and lamb with potatoes and vegetables.

Stephany Andrews

This place is amazing!! We ordered the gluten free Paesana Pizza and it was delicious! The service here is top teir and the atmosphere is beautiful. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and it was great!! Definitely recommend this place!

Catherine MacDonald

I ordered the poutine with gluten-free gravy. I mentioned I have celiac and confirmed with the server that the dish was gluten-free. It was only 20 minutes later when all my friends got their food that she told me the fries are prepared in the same fryer as everything else and asked again if that was okay. I said no, and tried to order a different dish marked "gluten-free". It turns out that every single item labelled "gluten-free" on their menu is deep-fried, so NONE of their labelled items are actually gluten-free. Had I known while ordering, my friends and I would have gone elsewhere. This is the first time I've seen a restaurant claim on its menu that its dishes are safe from gluten and not even have a single option that is actually safe. Either the kitchen protocols need to change, or the menu does. This is a serious oversight.

Charlotte Lopez

One of the best brunch places in Montreal! Accessible prices, gluten-free version available without problem for celiacs, and excellent food with copious dishes!! Special mention for the scrambled tofu, the Greek, the full vegetables, the asparagus Benedictines and the red juice that I take every time! In short, a treat, a warm and friendly atmosphere. Thanks to chef Saïd for delighting us!

Theo Houdy

Best place in Montreal to eat Indian vegan and gluten free food !! Abhi was so friendly and so nice, and I spent such a good moment in Tula. This is a must try in Montreal and the best Indian food I ever tasted. Everything is very healthy, and spices are very well balanced. Thank you so much !!

Urs Steiner

It‘s a cute restaurant with friendly staff. Although it’s not a 100% GF they have some GF items on the menue that are clearly marked as GF. We had the GF Tacos and they were delicious

Caroline Fearnley

So glad this place exists! The food is phenomenal and everything is vegan. They also have many gluten free options that aren't marked on the menu (you can ask when you call or ask a waiter.tress on site).

Abdenour Mouheb

Great if you are vegetarian or vegan, gluten-free options available Server vigilant on this point (confirmation of intolerance or celiac before ordering)

Elodie Dupuis

I had a great time here, the staff are amazing, the gluten-free food is absolutely delicious!

Events VP

Amazing experience! Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back here. Good gluten free tacos!

Julia Leary

Marinaded tofu and chocolate brownie were both delish! So fresh and tasty! Service was friendly and knowledgeable and the space is cozy and charming. It's hard to find good gluten and dairy free options in Montreal -this place is a must!

Jordan Waksman

Service and atmosphere are great. I ordered and received my order in 5 minutes. The price does not match the quality or quantity, and any substitute or additional will shoot up the total price. Do not order the vegan bagels as they are also gluten free and are not actually bagels, more of a flat bread. A $16.95 combo came out to $32 with the addition of a latte ($5), hash brown ($1.50) and vegan bagel ($1.75). Terrace is fantastic for the summer though.

Matt

Absolutely amazing experience, gentleman who runs the restaurant was an absolute pleasure to deal with, offers gluten free and vegan options for his meals. Some of the best gf couscous I've ever had. Highly recommend the hibiscus drink he serves mid summer.

Junior Bombardier

The whole family loves this restaurant, very good menu with gluten-free option too! Lambert gives amazing service!

Marie Larivière

It was good nothing more. I expected more. Maybe my expectations were too high, hence my “disappointment”. I put it in quotation marks because the word is a bit strong. Let's get this straight, it was super good but unfortunately the cream sugar sauce was grainy and the presentation was average. You should know that I took the gluten-free bread so that takes away a little charm. Overall I'm satisfied but it wasn't WOW.

Ann Giles Stewart

Enjoyed delicious breakfasts here a couple of times and decided to try their lunches today. What an amazing surprise to discover their range of gluten-free options. Not just, remove stuff from your plate, but gluten-free burger buns (+$4) or lettuce wrap (+$2), gluten free pizza crust (10 in) and pasta (+$5), as well as a server who was knowledgeable enough to let us know that the BBQ sauce on the ribs had gluten and offer to serve it without. Also, to top it off, there was a gf dessert option!!!! So nice to be able to eat out with my family again and actually have a choice!

Joel Faigan

Had a wonderful time. The food was delicious! They are very gluten aware and have many choices available. Will definitely be back. The service was super friendly and helpful. Only downside was the music was a little loud. Made it a bit difficult to talk with friends.

Pascal Bélanger

Family restaurant with some gluten-free and vegan options.

Jessie

We had the gluten free spinach pesto goat cheese crepe and the banana strawberry Nutella crepe, they were both delicious. The Americano hit the spot. I would highly recommend this cafe

Cassia A

The bowls are very delicious. Both the Thai bowl and Japanese inspired ones were great. I love the tempeh and tofu, but neither are super flavourful. The bowls are huge and packed with so many different veggies. They feel very nourishing lol. The bowls are a great gluten free option. It’s not very fast. We waited over 20 minutes to order and another 20 for food. I also wish the BLT had some form of protein instead of coconut to replace the bacon.

Hélène C

I love Ethiopian food for their vegan dishes! The vegan tasting menu consist of: a platter with 4 small appetizers Bouticha: chick pea mousse Yetiamtim salad: tomato salad (tangy and refreshing) House salad: caramelized veggies (warm and sweet) Yeberdjane: marinated eggplants (cold) and 5 flavours served over Injera Yekik Alicha: turmeric split peas Zucchini Sire: zucchini & beets Yatakelt Watt: carrots, potatoes & cabbage Yemesser Watt: berbere lentils (spicy) Gommen: spinach, onion and garlic The stewed vegetables seasoned with spices are all delicious. For those who want gluten-free, they have rice or quinoa for substitution. Ethiopian Sun is a mix of mango, orange, pineapple and peach juice. It’s a generous size dish. They also have vegan dessert but I was full. :P

SONIA Lepage

Every time I have such a nice waitress, I love her, a lady with a slight Finnish accent! The staff is always courteous. The gluten-free lunches are excellent, and I've never been sick, which is perfect! I still have to try their all-you-can-eat pasta and pizza Wednesdays, even gluten-free with a supplement. It's the only place I eat gluten-free lunches; I feel safe. The place is clean, I love it! It even makes me want to work there, their atmosphere seems so nice! I highly recommend it. Note: Lunches are a little more expensive, but as a celiac, that's how it is, and it's also good.

Hans

Well yes! Beizh is the vibe and I miss it. They’ve got gluten free options, and the veggie fillings are actually good. Simple, solid, satisfying. Nice small spot

Eya Bea

Love this British style cafe! Very big portion and a lot of nice options!! (Gluten free, vegan, etc) I love it ill be back!!!

Daniel Laplante

The food is good, but I asked for gluten-free, as I chose this restaurant because they advertised gluten-free. Seeing the digestion problems hi had, there was certainly gluten in there, even though they confirmed there would not be. Great place to go, but beware if you have gluten issues :( Also parking is not obvious around there, I recommend subway or uber.

M C

We had a great time at India Rosa Mont-Royal, which we much prefer the atmosphere to the one in Griffintown. We were pampered by the staff who were very pleasant. Great recommendation of the Dahi Puri which are gluten-free! Incredible discovery ❣️. Then we really enjoyed the chicken korma as well as the butter chicken. However, our downside: these dishes would be much better with chicken breasts than thighs... The Pinot Noir was excellent 👍🏻.

My husband got sick from eating mussels here :/ - servers seemed to serve certain customers over others seemingly along racial lines, it was a frustrating experience and the food could have been better overall. There are gluten free options here including the onion soup but be aware the onion soup is a wine reduction and tastes different than your typical onion soup. Also note the regular menu is not available during brunch service.

Danielle Fong

Pasta made fresh at the restaurant and the quality was outstanding in my opinion. I absolutely loved what I got: gnocchi with mozzarella and tomatoes in a pesto sauce. Cute space and really easy to hear each other talk even though there was music. The pizza looked good but none of us tried it, I like that there were cauliflower crust options and other gluten free options too if you need that. Also lots of veg options. We were served toasted bread and olives with oil and balsamic to start and they were perfect. I definitely recommend this place and especially before all those new condo developments bring in tons more people. We had two cars and were able to park right in front on a Saturday night.

Alex Ralph

Delicious dinner and dessert with nice tasting notes and gorgeous decor. I appreciated the use of fresh fruits and flowers to provide a feast for the eyes and some tangy garnishes. It was a wonderful option for me trying to eat gluten free and dairy free while traveling. Our waiter was also so friendly and good humored. Highly recommend!

rrisme7

Went for brunch had the eggs Benny it was ok ham was delicious English muffin soggy the sauce was very different. Potatoes good says gluten friendly but didn't have many options

Margaret Mathews

Priscylla Joca

Wonderful place for gluten free people! The hamburger with gluten free bun is delicious. I highly recommend it.

Divine

Finally got to get their chicken sandwich! and they have gluten free option!!! It was really to die for! loved all the flavours I have been marinating in!

Roxanne Cloutier

Small update from April 12, 22: I removed stars because I ordered take out and there were a lot of things missing. I had specified that I wanted butter and there was none. I love going to lunch there. With a choice of gluten-free meals that look great. The only problem is that it's often difficult to go and eat on the weekend because there are a lot of customers, but that's proof that it's good.

Recommended by a HoMa local. 5 course fix prix $80 with $65 wine pairing. Worth every penny. We’ve had wine pairings at other restaurants that missed the mark. At Heliocoptere the wine was diverse and perfectly paired. Servers were friendly, funny, and polished. They easily accommodated all our dietary requests: one friend gluten free, another pescatarian, and 2 different allergies. All meals were outstanding.

J.A. E.

They had a separate GF menu. Server was knowledgeable, quick, funny and professional. Really nice atmosphere with the plants and the live music. I ordered the beet salad, ribs and fries all as appetizers. The beet salad was alright, ribs were absolutely delicious, fries were good. They have a separate air frier for those who are celiac like me.

Amy Patton

One of my favourite places! They cater to my celiacs! The staff is amazing and so accommodating.

Marc Khair

Amazing cozy spot. Good gluten free options for my coeliac girlfriend 👌🏻👍

Chelsea Thistle

Delicious food! My husband and I had a lovely dinner here and enjoyed the live music. There was a gluten free option for the kotlet, which was great!

Danny D`Aquila

Really bad …. I asked for gluten free hamburger with a gluten free poutine… asked 2 times when ordering and third time when she brought me my food…… Yes it’s gluten free after 2 bites and was talking my 3 rd bite she came to tell me that it wasn’t gluten free. Wow now I’m not happy… Really not happy…. After asking 3 times and you don’t get the order right…. Not good….. Really disappointed with this service and place
