Amazing spot, & if you have celiac disease, this is the place to eat. It is all 100% gluten free, fresh baked food. I havent ever been so happy & overwhelmed at once with choices! The owner & employees who helped us were so helpful. They said'Welcome home!' When we inquired about the food safety. A lovely place.

Super sweet people. Exceptional gluten free bread. like, UNBELIEVABLY good. I'm not celiac but i brought my friend who is & we were both super happy to share a straight up delicious breakfast one morning & they didn't have to worry about a single thing. It was so good i'm going to come here all the time.
i'm very glad places like this exist.

?I've now visited this restaurant twice specifically for their gluten-free options, & the food itself has been very good. They offer an excellent experience for anyone with celiac disease.
?However, a few small improvements could really elevate the overall dining experience:
1. ?Cutlery Placement: For the outside tables, the pre-placed cutlery (forks, spoons) is prone to collecting dust & debris from the environment. I recommend providing clean cutlery with the order itself, as this would be much more hygienic.
?Outdoor Table Cleanliness: The outdoor tables themselves often feel dusty. I had to request extra napkins to clean the table before eating. More frequent wiping of these surfaces would be appreciated.
2. ?Pizza Dough: I tried the Margarita pizza, & while the flavor was decent, the crust was too hard & thin for the price point, making it difficult to chew at times. A slightly softer, thicker base would significantly improve this dish.
3. ?Handwashing: It would be helpful to have a clear place or facility for guests to wash their hands before eating. I didn't asked for the same as I thought they didn't have one, so I won't take points off for that.
Overall a great experience for Celiacs or someone with allergies. Very friendly staff.

I cannot share higher praises for this restaurant! The food was absolutely spectacular (the bread better than any other in Montreal or Paris), the owners so charming, & the atmosphere adorable. I was literally in love with the whole experience.
I had the Jean Luc (eggs & toast with butter & jam) & my partner had the breakfast with bacon & beans. Both came with a little juice smoothie & we got a latte that was $1 off with the breakfast order. We ended this beautiful experience with the tiramisu (DIVINE).
The baker/chef is a GF expert from Lima & the other owner I believe is local with a child with celiac. Everything was beyond delicious & safe & theyre so friendly! They also sell & serve organic wines & fresh pasta. There are tons of pastry options & to go options.
This place is a must for anyone visiting or living nearby.

Meilleure pizza sans gluten que j'ai mangé depuis que j'ai été diagnostiquée celiac. La fille à la caisse sait ce qu'est la maladie coeliaque & prend le temps d'expliquer le menu ce qui est très gentil & rassurant. C'était la première fois que j'y allais, mais certainement pas la dernière!

Ben & Naomi have put together easily one of the best cafes I've ever been to. I only visited twice while in Montreal, but I left feeling like I was a regular. The bread is amazing, the pastries are divine, & the classic Italian-style espresso is some of the best I've had outside of Europe. Whether or not you have Celiac, gluten sensitivity, any other allergies or none at all, I cannot recommend this little fallen piece of Elysium enough.

The food, atmosphere & service & Cantine Panella is fantastic. I am both vegan & gluten intolerant, & was so excited to find a place so kind & accommodating - everything was delicious! They took such pride in their food, & honestly, that was the best sandwich I've ever had, as was everything else we ordered. I wish we lived in Montreal so we could dine here regularly. Next time we visit, it will be our first stop. Also, if you are celiac, they have a special accreditation for celiacs which is really hard to get!

Cantine Panella is an experience above & beyond!!! The unique fusion abilities, knowledge, professionalism & compromise of Alessandra Perona & her team with the Celiacs are a rare privilege to have.

**A Must-Visit for Gluten-Free Dining in Montreal**
My family & I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cantine Panella, & it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Traveling with my wife & daughter, who both have celiac disease, can often be challenging, but Cantine Panella made it effortless & enjoyable.
We took an Uber from our airport hotel to the restaurant, & I must say, we were not disappointed. The owner was incredibly welcoming & knowledgeable, especially since his son also has celiac disease. This personal connection made us feel at ease, knowing that our dietary needs were well understood & catered to, given 100% gluten free establishment.
The variety of meals available was impressive, & our entire family of six thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience, even those without celiac disease.
I highly recommend Cantine Panella to anyone visiting Montreal, especially those who have celiac disease. We will definitely be returning whenever we find ourselves in the city again.

Such a warm atmosphere at this bakery! The staff was very welcoming & genuine, & everything we had was delicious! My friend is celiac & this really limits her eating-out options. She was so impressed by this place! Thank you Cantine Panella staff:)

Like everyone else says, this place is not only a must visit for celiacs, but anyone who enjoys coffee, baked goods, & delicious hearty fare. Their pain chocolats (chocolate croissants) are so good that if my wife learned how to make them I'd marry her all over again!

Love the personalized attention & friendly atmosphere. It often can feel like you are compromising when you select a restaurant that supports food allergies, especially one like Celiac. Not here, this team is wonderful & the food options were great. Loved the egg plant lasagne. Thank you.

My friends & I came up from Halifax Nova Scotia & one of my friends is Celiac & wanted to try this place out. We tried it & loved it, I got the Lasagna Bolognese & it was so good, we went back today & was recognized as the "Nova Scotians". Next time I am in Montreal I will be returning to this restaurant. Highly recommend, the customer service is amazing the best I have ever had. 10/10 experience

Absolutely one of the best places I have ever sat down & had food since my celiac diagnosis. The owner & workers are professional, fun & outstanding personalities. The selection is immaculate & classy. You must go here if you are in Montreal travelling or newly moved in! You won't be dissapointed. I ordered two sandwiches, 2 salads, a pastry & a bottle of wine & plan to return another day before I return home! A place that truly leaves an impression on you.

This place is incredible. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, take the time to explain everything; they are so aware of food sensitivities & they care deeply about providing a safe & thoughtful experience. The food was delicious, & brought my celiac friend deep & profound joy to eat pasta & bread for the first time in a long while. 10/10
