This restaurant is 100% Gluten Free!! We came here because of a friend who needed this consideration, I was not sure what to expect but WOW, the food was amazing! We all had the handheld sandwiches that were delicious & filling, the plantine appetizer with chicken was amazing, the empinadas were good but very small & hard to share. The food pictures speak for themselves!! There was some available seating when we arrived around 7:45pm & we were 4 people & we were seated without a wait but I would suggest a reservation to avoid disappointment! Our water was very helpful, we let him know it was our first time there & he provided his recommendations & all were delicious! The desserts as well very excellent & my favorite was the Carmel Flan- same some room!! So as the location is 100% gluten free, so we're the beers, again a first for me & I would say, not the greatest, no head, the Blonde tasted like apple juice... I would not buy gluten free beers for my self again :)- no fault of the restaurant though, the ladies said their drinks were tasty & we would definitely come back. Cheers & enjoy

I went last Tuesday for dinner with my brother & we had their areas. I had the roasted pork belly & a Paloma for a drink.

I had never tried one of these types of sandwiches before but it was AMAZINGLY good. The'bread' had a great corn flavor & the pork was delicious. Their verde & red hot sauce also tasted great!

The Paloma was good but I would've liked a hint more lime in it.

I am so sorry to the waiter for not tipping as it wasn't intentional & I did not realize until after the fact. We paid on 1 bill & I only saw it after I paid. When the waiter passed the machine to me, he accidentally tapped the screen during the tip option, so it disappeared & went straight to pay so I didn't see the % but figured whatever I'll just pay.

Only after looking at the receipt did I noticed no tips were left. I felt & still feel awful so hopefully next time I come back he's there & I can leave a bigger tip to make up for it. There was nothing wrong with the service! 🙏

Really enjoyed this spot as a gluten free visitor to MTL - plantain (amazing), casava sticks & pork belly sandwich, complimented with a shot of mezcal… can't ask for too much more than that

Excellent food.
I was hesitant about going to a gluten free restaurant but my sister is celiac. & I am so glad we did!
Everything was great!
I highly recommend the Empanadas.
We also had the pork belly platter & the pork & avocado sandwich. Fed the 3 of nicely (though if another empanada was there I would have gladly taken it down.)

I had a guarapita & my sister had the non alcoholic cane sugar & lime, both were lovely. My nephew had water & they kept on top of filling up the water.

C'est plus une cantine qu'un restaurant. Ce n'est pas un endroit romantique ou chaleureux. En fait, il y faisait même assez froid quand j'y suis allé.

Certain serveurs ne parlent pas bien français, donc difficile d'avoir leurs avis sur le menu ou de se faire comprendre quand on commande.
Édit: j'ai été très gentille & compréhensive avec les jeunes serveurs. & justement, pour ne pas les embarrasser, j'ai pris n'importe quoi car j'étais mal renseignée.

La nourriture n'est pas goûteuse.
Leurs empanadas sont petites (contrairement aux empanadas argentines) & je n'ai aimé que celles au boeufs. Donc 1 seule empanada sur 3.

Les prix sur le menu publié sur Google, sont inférieurs aux vrais prix.
Sur place c'est approximativement 1.5$/2$ plus cher.
Donc, ça reste abordable mais pas très bon.

Le sandwich Arepa, j'ai trouvé ça fade, lourd & froid.
Dans le mien, ils ont mixé du poulet (bouilli je crois. En tout cas pas rôti, ni frit, ni assaisonné) avec des avocats très froids (?!!) sans plus. Il n y avait donc pas assez de produits frais ou goûteux, pour que ça soit délicieux. Ça n'avait aucun goûts. & c'était plutôt pâteux.
Bref, pas bon.

Le tout pour un 33$ - je n'ai commandé ni de dessert, ni de boisson.

Comment ils ont obtenu des notes aussi élevée ? Mystère.

Je n'y retournerai pas. & je ne le recommande pas.

The best lunch we've had on the entire trip to Montreal. The chicharron arepa is the apex of pork sandwiches. We had a gluten sensitive diner, & she had no issues at all. There were also some great drink options (including gluten free beer too). Wait staff were wonderful. Highly recommend.

Friday night & we hit it right. There was just a short waits for a table. Our server was handling 9-10 tables but we never felt like we had to wait. He was impressive keeping everyone served & water bottles replaced.

Any place that is 100% gluten free is always a plus in our book. It is nice to order & know there are no cross contamination issues. For my daughter, she enjoyed sampling our food.

The food was wonderful. It was flavorful. Fillings in sandwiches were a lot. The platter was full. The variety was incredible. There was beef, pork, chicken, seafood. There were different cheeses & accent fillings.

The atmosphere is eclectic. Some of the booths were old church pews. Chairs varied a bit. You could see into kitchen so they know they are clean & safe.,

If you like beer, it is all gluten free.

A good find for us!

Hipster latino food featuring mainly arepa sandwiches. Bigger, & definitely more trendy that I expected with their awesome artsy portrait paintings.

My rating is very likely due to my mistake of ordering a black bean soup (filling me up with bloated heaviness, wasn't anything special) before my main meal could be enjoyed. I managed to consume of the argula salad (bitter) & maybe 2 bites of my arepa before calling it quits.

My other friends had a much better experience... ordering a variety from fancy cheeses to pulled pork to chicken, everyone loved their selections.

Also staff was very cool about doing separate checks to make it easier for us.

Anyways moral of story is don't eat a giant can of black beans before your entree if you want to have a good time.
