Top 9 Gluten-Free Gems to Discover in International District, Montréal

Shaemus Melvin

Fantastic. I was in Montreal for 2 days and my group ended up going 3 times. Burgers are delicious, the milkshake is one of the best I've ever had, and according to my celiac friend the gluten free bun is the best he's ever had. Will definitely be stopping back next time I'm in town

An experience, a discovery, a page of history. The staff is friendly and FUNNY. One might think that its the type of restaurant where staff is drab. We laugh with the hole team. Thank for a great evening. They were able to accommodate my mother in law, celiac, doesn't eat meat or mussels. She still got the discovery menu with some tweak to fit her needs. Fantastic.

Good dish and generous portion. Very good general tao and a gluten-free option for my partner. A slightly spicy chicken pad thai.

This is, without a doubt, the best fine dining Italian kitchen in Montreal as of the time I'm writing this review. The atmosphere was good, the service was excellent, but let's face it, you're here to learn about the food. And the food was phenomenal. We took the sharing option for 4 people and almost sampled the whole menu. Everything is done in beautiful simplicity. There aren't 72 ingredients per plate, but rather just a few flavours that shine in every bite. The raw appetizers (carpaccio and branzino) were well seasoned and garnished. The zucchini flowers were packed with flavour and the octopus was grilled just right, which is not an easy feat even for big chefs. The focaccia is in a league of its own. It was unapologetically oily. It's reminding you that you're not here to diet ; you're here to make your tastebuds feel alive! It was sublime. The pasta plates... Well, this is not a commercial kitchen trying to produce as many spaghetti bolognese per hour as they can. This is a kitchen where the chef seems to be cooking what he likes, and you can feel it in every plate. Everything was well balanced and delicious. The meat! Great cut, great meat quality. It beats most big and fancy steakhouses in town, but I wasn't here for the steak. What I'll say is if you have a celiac person in your party who can't have pasta, they will certainly enjoy the steak. If they're both celiac and vegan, well you need new friends. The desserts! They went simple. I was worried. It's a gamble, but it's a winning one. It works. The panna cotta is to die for and the torta caprese could break couples if there was only 1 slice left at the end of the night. Finally, the wine selection and recommendations were great. If you want a better Italian meal, you're going to have to book yourself a plane ticket to Italy, drive to an Italian village and try to charm an old nonna into adopting you for a day. I'll be back soon to try whatever is left on the menu!

Breakfast Bliss at Allô Mon Coco! Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Allô Mon Coco is my breakfast haven! The cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff set the perfect tone. The menu offers a delightful array of options, from classic pancakes to indulgent French toast. Every dish is a masterpiece - fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Don't miss the Eggs Benedict or the heavenly Belgian waffles. The attention to detail and diverse menu cater to all tastes, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan. Whether you're solo or with company, expect impeccable service. Allô Mon Coco never fails to deliver a morning filled with joy and deliciousness! THIS IS ALI NOOR & THIS IS MY REVIEW

Good to see if you pass downtown to appreciate the architecture (and movies filmed there) but it tends to attract lots of students staying for hours so you probably won't have the chance to sit. They had gluten-free daifukus you can also find further in Chinatown and the coffee/service was fine!

Our first night we dropped into the bar for a quick drink but the bar manager made us feel so welcome we stayed for food which was delicious and a gluten free option for my husband.
