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.

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.
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.
I'm celiac, so I have to be very careful about where I eat. They have gluten-free options, and after talking with the staff, I was put at ease knowing they take all the precautions necessary to avoid cross contamination when preparing gluten-free dishes.
The restaurant was great and the service was fantastic.

Amazing pizza every time! Consistent, always fresh, and not shy with toppings. Plus they have delicious gluten free crust available and lactose free cheese for people with dietary restrictions! The servers are also very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!
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!
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!
Every place that can create brownies without gluten or dairy, and which still taste delicious, deserves five stars. In addition, staff was super friendly and the interior is modern and up to date. The cortado coffee is great as well. Recommended. The washrooms were clean. They ate located in the basement and are not wheelchair accessible.
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.
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!
Excellent vegetarian restaurant! The dishes are generous. The impossible galette is so satisfying, it feels like you're eating beef! In short, I recommend it, I loved it 🤗 Gluten-free option too 😎
I love the atmosphere and the staff is amazing, but the food is limited in terms of gluten-free options. I wish there were more healthy options for gluten-free. The brownie is too brownie box like.
We were really disapppointed when we couldn't dine at Sapristi the day before as we didn't realize we needed to make a reservation. We planned ahead the next day and made a reservation and when we arrived we were seated right away at a spot outside. Our server was great and we went all out getting a pitcher of sangria to go with our parmesan fries appetizer and pizzas for our main course. They were very accommodating to my gluten free diet and unfortunately we were too full to try their desserts so I guess we'll need to make another visit one day! Thank you for making our evening memorable with a delicious meal!
It is a great place to eat. I loved the atmosphere, and the server we had was great. The gluten-free pizza wasn't the best I've ever had, but I'm glad they had that option.
I walked in here to have lunch randomly, I was pleasantly surprised with how cute the interior was, but better yet, the food was so delicious. I had fantastic service as well, and let the server know about my gluten intolerance and she was very helpful guiding me in what to eat and also had great recommendations. My lunch was so tasty! Highly recommend.

I have celiac disease and can’t normally eat out at restaurants because of gluten and cross contamination. The waiters were kind and attentive to my condition. Service was great, portions a bit small for the price but the food was great also.

Excellent restaurant! L'ambiance est exceptionnelle et le service merveilleux. Pour ceux ayant des allergies au gluten, il est possible de recevoir certains plats sans et ils prennent au sérieux la contamination croisée. Je recommande!
We went back yesterday and saw a big improvement on the menu. Really more refined dishes. Small downside, if you want to take your time between courses, tell the waiter because they bring the next dish before you are finished. The rest is perfect. For Celiacs like me this is 💯 respected based on how I feel this morning. You know what I mean 😉
Great service!! Warm atmosphere and the dishes were delicious and different from what you see in other cafes, I recommend 100%! Lots of gluten-free options too, which was very appreciated! Thanks again!
Local style Mex restaurant among the many Chinese resto’s. Felt untouristy. Great Beef and shrimp tacos. No chicken. Super guacamole.
Many items were gluten free. Veggie options.

The experience starts with a small crowded entrance space where you are supposed to wait until someone comes to seat you. Once finally seated, you'll wait for your simple order (crepes) for 40 minutes. Neither espresso nor hot chocolate are good, crepes are dry and tasteless. We only came here because they offer gluten free crepes and it was a big disappointment and a waste of time.
Our group ordered pizza, pasta, and some gluten free items. The ambience is cozy groovy and classy, and the service was good! However, the star of the night was lacklustre. A common thread among us was that the food was bland, lacking seasoning and salt. A bolognese dish tasted purely of tomato, with very little meat. The carbonara, though perfectly cooked, lacked richness and flavour. Finally, the pizzas were both confusing and disappointing. The crusts are not the dough one might expect but rather a large pita bread. The result is an unfulfilling pizza cracker.
For the price, many of us expressed feeling hungry even though we had had entrees as well as our main dishes, but we were unwilling to buy more. The portions are rather small.
Also for some reason they kept increasing the music volume as the night got quieter which was headache-enducing.
I must stress that the staff were wonderful and the service was good. I also commend their gluten free menu and their care to provide options for people with Celiac’s.
If it were possible to give a negative review I would.
I just had the most awful, disrespectful and rude experience with one of the waitresses at this location. My friend and I ordered 2 appetizers (tater tots, and one pretzel), as my meal I ordered the Classic burger, and requested a gluten free bun as I am gluten intolerant. Gluten intolerant means that I can only handle certain and very limited amounts of gluten or I get violently ill.
Upon receiving my bill I had questioned the waitress why I was not charged for the gluten free bun and she went silent. I then proceeded to ask if the bun was in fact gluten free and to my surprise she replied with a snarky "well it was whatever you ordered". I then began to describe the bun to her and she insisted that both buns looked similar and had a yellowish tint to them. I explained very calmly to her that its a good thing this isn't an allergy that could kill me but that I would experience stomach pain as it in as intolerance. She insisted that I should've noticed that it wasn't a gluten free bun prior to eating it and wouldn't even bring out examples to show me the difference.
Despite this issue, I still tipped her 10%, which I would've gladly given her more had she gotten the order correct.
After leaving, my friend insisted that we should not of been treated like that and decided to go back in to explain that this is not how you treat paying customers and for future to be more careful. However, this is when things got worse, instead of taking responsibility and apologizing, this waitress got very defensive. She insisted that it was my fault and I should've known it wasn't gluten free. She decided to throw even more shade at us by claiming that it didn't make sense that I wanted a gluten free bun if I had ordered a pretzel which contains gluten. Not that it is any of the staffs business, how much gluten I can eat but when this argument was used my friend continued to explain that I can tolerate certain amounts of gluten which is why we shared the pretzel. The waitress continued to argue that it was rude of me to tip so low, however the tip should've 0$ since she messed up on something that will affect my health. On top of these comments and arguments that this waitress was making, another male employee decided to chime into the conversation asking if I had hypoglycaemia and if that's the reason I couldn't eat gluten while laughing and making fun of me.
Customer service is clearly non-existent here and this situation could've been handled many other professional ways. This is not the way that paying customers should be treated. We have eaten here before and enjoyed it. We had no bad intentions, all we wanted was for the staff to be more careful in the future however, we will never be going back here and we do not advice anyone with allergies or restrictions to go here either because they are extremely careless and rude.
There are gluten-free options suitable for celiacs. When the staff makes a possible contamination error, they warn us that they will remake the dish, which is reassuring, and offer "compensation" if it adds a lot of delay.

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.
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!
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.
Based on a visit in Aug 2023.
The restaurant was busy at 6PM on a Monday. We didn't have a reservation. However, we were able to get seated quickly. Our waiter was pleasant, professional and efficient. She spoke English fluently. She explained the various menu options to our satisfaction. We were pleased to see that smaller portion sizes were an option. It was just right for us with the soup and starters.
Red wine was smooth and the espresso martini (not on the menu but our waiter said it could be made) was perfect after a long day of hiking.
Food was served promptly. The minestrone was not bad. My wife enjoyed the mussels with marinara sauce (sauce was delicious). Her main course of gluten free pasta with fresh sauce and basil hit the spot. My penne with arabiata was good too.
The restaurant serves gluten free pasta for an extra charge.
Ugh, the gluten-free salmon burger was very dry and way overcooked. The edges were even charred.
On the other hand, my son found his (classic) burger good.
Not sure I'll come back...
