Amazing experience! Food was delicious! Our server was more than helpful, even guiding us on how to make the breads themselves. I cannot say enough good things about it! Gluten free to top it off & our sever helped me choose options that didn't have dairy. My teenager announced it was one of his two favourite restaurants... High praise! Would definitely recommend.

Should try the sandwiches. Very flavourful (sweet & sour). I tried guava & Lole but the Lole is a must try.
Also the prices are very good, drinks plus sandwiches with tip less than 25$
La nourriture est tout simplement génial !! Quelle belle découverte, & le tout sans gluten garanti ! Donc parfait pour les gens comme ma soeur qui son céliac!!
when i say my sister came back here TWICE in one day, im being completely serious! food was so comforting & well portioned for the price. Inside, the staff is very friendly & the service was great. Food was also very quick! The bun was perfect & very generously stuffed. All came with a side salad which was refreshing (don't know the sauce that went on it but it was so good!). We absolutely love this place & it's definitely worth checking out!
Un de nos restaurants préférés à Montréal. J'adore faire découvrir le restaurant à de nouvelles personnes. Tout les plats sont savoureux. Nous avons vraiment apprécié le spécial 2/1 sur les consommations d'alcool, c'est une promotion qui revient à l'occasion. Ne changez jamais la recette de la sauce verte, c'est un pur délice!

Truly a one of a kind place in Montreal. They have a very unique menu all gluten free. The food is amazing & great portion sizes. I highly recommend to go for lunch.
100% gluten free restaurant with gf beer, ciders, sangria, & the most amazing food I have had in a long time, gf or otherwise. Also literally the best priced restaurant meal I've had in forever gf or otherwise. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!
We dined here recently & had fantastic meals! The waitstaff was very attentive & kind. There are many options on the menu to choose from & we all really Enjoyed what we ordered.
Super petit endroit pour les gens qui ont des intolérances ou des allergies au gluten. Tout est savoureux & à un prix acceptable. Le personnel est courtois mais ne tolère aucun aliment contenant du gluten (mettons que vous venez avec votre bébé pis qu'il mange déjà quelque chose).
My parent is from Venezuela & I was very pleased with the food here!! Would definitely return. Service is also very kind & accommodating. Atmosphere is comfortable & cozy. I'll be back for the empanadas!
