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
Amazing celiac restaurant. My mom has celiac & is very sensitive but she had 0 reaction. There is parking on the street that is better than most small places & the seating area is great, too. 10/10 will be going again.
Awesome food , great service , cool vibe.Everything is really great there . The people are nice & most importantly THE FOOD ROCKS! The pizza is delicious but the strawberry shortcake is THE BEST. Came with my family during a road trip-in fact, above is kiddo's review (& it's hard to please a picky kid!!) & were so happy to find a dedicated gluten free place to eat for our celiacs. Highly recommend.

Délicieux, charmant, accueillant! Un petit trésor sans gluten bien gardé. Un service chaleureux, des plats de qualité & du bon vin pour une soirée réussie. 100% celiac safe!! Ça deviendra ma cantine favorite pour soirée d'amis, en famille ou en amoureux, ou encore pour une bouchée "on the go". Merci pour la belle trouvaille!
have never had any gluten-free pastries like this before. I literally had to check so many times to make sure everything is gluten-free. They make ❤️❤️THE BEST ❤️❤️ gluten-free products you can ever imagine. Imagine this: all the things you've wished to eat gluten-free, they have them at an affordable price. The consistency of their breads & pastries is phenomenal, & they taste so good. They are extremely knowledgeable about their products & are super friendly. What a gem! Even if you're not celiac & just want high-quality food/pastries, give this place a try🥖🥨🥐🥪
Eating here was such a wonderful experience. They have lovingly created THE best Gluten free bread, quiche, pie crusts & pastries I've ever had, the man who helped me, who I believe was the owner, was so warm, kind, welcoming & helpful in every way. I will drive from Ottawa again & again to come here, it's incredible. You two have mastered gluten free baking & cooking! Thank you so much for bringing joy to my day & delicious bread back into my life as someone who is Celiac. :)
