Top 2 Gluten-Free Spots Across Old Montreal, Montréal

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!

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!!

Angela Metcalf

As someone with celiac, I must say eating here was amazing. The owner and wait staff assured me my food would be safe. Owners daughter has celiac. Only 3 items on the menu could not be modified to be gluten free. I even got a gluten free bun to start. (I usually just watch my husband eat the bread everywhere we go). There was 3 options safe for me for dessert as well. The Nutella Gelato was amazing. This was a wonderful experience during our stay in Old Montreal. Would highly recommend.

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.

Carl Tondreau

Went out with our family on a busy summer Saturday night; our server Gabriel met all of our expectations service-wise including the fact that one of us was celiac! Happy with the quality of the food and the way our steaks were done, everything without mentioning our many special demands for our dishes were executed. Many thanks to The Keg for this outstanding night and we are looking forward to going back there soon!

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.

Henrik Bruusgaard

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially when it comes to recommending gluten free options. Outstanding food.

After spending the day sightseeing in the heat, our tired selves just needed a place to sit and eat. My family and I found so much more when we stumbled upon Pizzeria Bros!!! All of the staff was friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was upbeat. The food was cooked fast and tasted amazing...including the delicious gluten-free pizza and the mouth-watering Cinnamon and Sugar Bros Bites. After our board game-loving crew relaxed and played almost 2 hours of games (and gladly gave a worthy tip) we left happy we took a gamble on Pizzeria Bros!

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

Heather Brown McDonald

We had the most magical time at Paparmane today. My husband and I went to celebrate my birthday. I made a reservation online and let them know at that time that I have celiac disease. The owner of the tearoom personally emailed me a few days later to follow up on my need for a gluten free menu which I thought was amazing. When we walked in today I was thrilled with how whimsical the atmosphere was. The staff that met us at the door was very friendly and instantly asked us which member of our party had celiac disease. She reassured me the staff was very knowledgeable and trained in celiac awareness. This made me feel very comfortable. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive. He took the time to explain the menus and how food allergies are easily accommodated. Once the food arrived the presentation was beautiful and thoughtfully arranged. The taste was unbelievable! Having celiac disease finding gluten free food that tastes wonderful is very hard to come by. The food here made me incredibly happy with every bite. I savoured every morsel! I cannot express how delicious everything was. My husband had the vegetarian option and loved every bite as well. I cannot say enough about how much we loved our experience here. I was also delighted that I was able to purchase some loose leaf tea to bring hone with me as well. I cannot wait to return again to Paparmane for another beautiful and magical experience in the future!

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

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.

Lori Willette

Absolutely delighted at the service, (thank you Antoine), the food, (thank you gluten free crepes), and the ambience, (thank you small, quaint, not loud, environment).

Tina Goltsch

Food was delicious! My daughter is gluten free and they knew everything she could and couldn't have. The staff was amazing. Definitely be back.

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!

Laurie Marshe

Amazing sangria, and appetizers. Service was awesome. Lots of gluten free options.

Jason Bawa

The gluten free bread is soft and delicious, I had the tuna melt!

Jessica Larson

Gluten Free fish & chips! Delicious! (It isn't listed on the menu so you have to ask. You can have the gluten-free batter with your choice of three different fishes. We got the salmon and it was fantastic.)

Stephanie Dion

I would call this an experience and a wonderful one that is! The service is on point and the staff make you feel at home. The venue gives you grandparent vibes in a nice way. I went for the MTL à table menu since they had vegan and gluten-free options. They started us off with bruschetta, and the plates kept coming. The minestrone was delicious and warming, the truffle and mushroom gnocchi was very good and generous portion, i would say you really need to love mushrooms. The brownie was more like a cake texture as it was on the drier side and not overly sweet which is perfect after a pasta meal. I loved that it had a lot of walnuts. The vegan icecream was just ok, I've had better. Overall great night and to top it of they gave us a rose when we left..how sweet!

Bia Revez

Very good. Very tasty food. Restaurant with brunch and gluten-free pasta options. For the other dishes, you just have to remove the bread that comes with it. The price is a little higher than normal. Very friendly and attentive staff. I recommend it.

Cecile Dubois-Herry

A good teryaki bowl that gave me 2 meals! At first I couldn't find the tofu but it's small cubes and sticks with the quinoa/avocado. My partner loved the (cold) ramen and our soft gluten-free golden brownie. The decor is cute with some fake plants but real flowers on the table. You can buy teas & kombuchas and the service is okay.

Jessica Atkinson

We had an amazing brunch here! The avocado toast (with perfectly poached eggs) and steak and eggs were amazing and the cocktails were on point. Maeva’s service was awesome and she was so sweet to bring us a little treat to help me celebrate my birthday. For the gluten free folks out there, they do have gluten free bread and were very accommodating of my allergy. I would definitely come back!

Harl Humphrey

Stumbled on this place when we were out with our kids and very hungry. The staff was extremely friendly, especially with the kids, even though it's not really a family restaurant. My wife is gluten free and they had lots of options for her. All of the food, cocktails, and sangria was delicious. I don't know if you could go wrong.

rrisme7

Tacos are awesome closest thing i have to authentic in Canada. Service was great location fantastic. Was inside for the rain once it stopped they moved us out side loved it. Lots of gluten free options highly recommend

Brian Paylago

Had a lovely dinner here on Easter Sunday. We didn’t have a rez, but it wasn’t a problem. The host/owner(?)) seated the 4 of us right away and he also was our waiter for the evening. He was excellent and very accommodating with suggestions on our order and with our one friend’s dietary restriction with gluten. The drinks were delicious and the food was amazing! Each dish was perfectly cooked, wonderfully presented, and full of flavors. We all enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to our next visit.

Chester Liu

Amazing find! Pasta was incredibly delicious, loved the duck confit. Would order it 10x more. Free salad bar included. Gluten free penne on request.

Ophélie Paris

We had 3 pastries and they were all excellent. Classic cakes, but also gluten-free and vegan if desired. Quite busy setting and overheated place, but nice!

Maxim Kovalenko

Excellent food, cocktails and coffee. Have gluten free bread. Beef tartar is excellent.

Vincent Malinowski

Best burger I've ever had. Gluten-free bun so good can't believe it's not Gluten-free

Mirza Pekmez

Delicious food that accommodates gluten free. Fantastic atmosphere.

Loredana Lascu

miguel and alin are the best ! thank you at the terrace. Service is super fast, super nice, super friendly. He knows the menu so well. He even accomodated my gluten free!

Piero Colagrosso

Delicious middle eastern food which is almost all gluten free. I am celiac and this was a real treat for me. I had the Shish Taouk plate with delicous grilled chicken, salads, garlic potatoes and rice.

Maybe I went on an “off night” or maybe this really is the tourist trap I always assumed it was. $5 extra for gluten free pasta, which was just “le venezane” (the cheapest gluten free pasta that tastes overwhelmingly like corn, the worst!). I was told that the best thing on the menu our party had that night was the cannolis (not gluten free).

Ben Kidd

Limited gluten free options

Beverly Spencer

Michelle Artibee

Best gluten free sub roll we've ever had! Wagu cheesesteak was EXCELLENT. Highly recommend stopping by and hope to return.

Lizzy Mayers

Best of the best in Montréal! Food is delicious, service is top notch. The tasting menus give the opportunity to experience the restaurant as a whole. Gluten-free options were also accommodated ☺️

Ingy Barclay

I basically look forward to coming here every time I visit Montreal (from southern Ontario). Love the location. It's such a cute cafe. And I was pleasantly surprised to find 3 gluten free desserts. And a delicious salad nicouse. And I always appreciate friendly service in Montreal.

Sebelle Bell

Hands down my favorite spot in Montreal!! The ambiance and vibe is a 10/10. Everyone is incredibly kind and they even catered to my diet (vegan and gluten free). Chef Miguel made a special meal that wasn’t a menu item- he created the most beautiful risotto for me. I was blown away by the flavors and the balance of the whole dish. My fiancé continuously raves about the short rib and the croquettes. We will always return when we’re in Montreal (in fact, we came back this weekend just to have another bite at Barroco). Thank you all for an amazing experience!!

Jonathan HEUZE

Really a great discovery, a lovely place offering several vegetarian options and gluten-free options. We just had a snack and a drink but clearly I plan to go back to eat their dish which looks like it 😋.

Monica Gregoire

Yumm. They worked with both our time constraints and food allergy (celiac) and got us in and out in time for our show. Will be back next time we are in town.

Shannon

It was either an off night or Gaspar has experienced a decline in the quality of the food. I was so excited to try Gaspar during our visit to Montreal, after getting a recommendation from a friend, seeing it listed on a travel blog post, and seeing the many great reviews on Google. But...we sadly left feeling disappointed by our dinner there, and felt we'd had much better food for lower prices elsewhere in Old Montreal. Gaspar is gluten free / celiac friendly, which I appreciated very much. There's a dedicated fryer and our waiter was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. We sat outside on the terrace, though we wished we had chosen to sit inside. Partly because of the weather that day, but also because the Gaspar terrace wasn't as nice as some of the other terraces. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful. We had a dinner reservation but there were many tables available, so the reservation likely wasn't necessary.

Claire Amos

Loved it! Everything, The service, the food and the fact they were so aware of my coeliac disease good attention to detail. Real hidden gem in Montreal. What a lovely evening thankyou xx

Cynthia Smith

Julie Ricard

There's one gluten free option. Good enough, but only vegetarian option, only one sauce option. Obviously, a pasta and pizza place is not a destination celiac people choose willingly. But when you're invited to go with a group, it'd be nice to have 2 options. You don't choose to be celiac, people choose to be vegetarian and vegan. I don't really like when restaurants put all restrictions together. The waiter spoke very low, she had a tiny voice. The music is incredibly loud. It's not a good combination.

Weronika Piasta

Great little place in Old Montreal. Reasonable prices for the menu. Had a few yummy cocktail selections. Not many gluten free options but we made it work for me.

Lynn M

Cute shop with coffee, baked goods, local goods including vegan and gluten free packaged treats- would not recommend doing the gluten free baked goods if celiac as they’re in the same case and worker said they do not change gloves etc.

Doris Lehmann

Josiah Hunt

Amazing seafood and steak, very attentive to detail and aware of allergens. Some good gluten free options are the grilled scallops, and the shrimp cocktail they can give you a mayo instead of the cocktail sauce.
