Nous sommes venus à ce restaurant le samedi 9 août. Accueille chaleureuse. Large choix de produits dont des desserts & du pain. Nous avons pris un sandwich à la viande goûtu & très bon. La quiche était délicieuse, la pâte était vraiment bonne. Quant à la pizza, pour une sans gluten, elle se tenait bien. Je recommande.
AMAZING food & service! It is so nice to eat at an entirely gluten free restaurant & not have to worry about potential cross-contamination. I also love that they offer daily specials. I had the dinner chicken special, which was delicious. Their desserts/treats are also AMAZING. I highly highly recommend this place & highly recommend trying their specials.
A massive variety of gluten free options from meals, to desserts, to bread loaves & other bakery treats. They have a whole range of Halloween inspired sweets right now that are very fun. You really get the impression the the owners love their buisiness & customers.

Exquisite selection of 100% gluten free pastries, pastas, quiches, breads, & desserts. Anyone who is or loves someone who lives gluten free will appreciate this beautiful oasis of choice & taste. We were really impressed with the warm joyful service & the atmosphere inside & outside.
Le meilleur du sans gluten dans la grande région de Montréal, les pains & desserts autant que le menu du jour, en plus des proprios hyper sympathiques, on adore!
Cantine Panella is the best gluten-free bakery/sandwich shop we have ever been to! I would challenge anyone to find one that's better...they can't! This place has exceptional service, fantastic food, excellent coffee & desserts so good, they're better than regular desserts that are not gluten-free! We got their asado & butifarra sandwiches - one beef & one pork, & they were amazing. The bread was so good (you would never know it was gluten-free) & the meats were marinated so nicely. Highly recommend these if you're looking for a full meal, but BE SURE to save room for dessert!! For example, they have the best tiramisu I have ever tasted (& I've had 100s of tiramisus all over the world, gluten-free & not), & that's just one thing out of many. They bake all their bread fresh every day & you can get so many different types of wonderful gluten-free bread - be sure to come early before they start to sell out! They even have amazing coffee...we got an iced latte & it was so much better than expected. Nice, strong coffee! All in all, I would highly encourage anyone to come to Cantine Panella - I wouldn't really call it a "hidden gem", but more people still need to know about it!!
We had the most incredible dinner at Cantine Panella, a cozy Italian restaurant that was delicious & inviting. The entire restaurant is GF so you can relax & enjoy a wonderful meal. Lovely environment with large windows that fully open to the street so it feels like you are eating el fresco. Family style restaurant with a welcoming staff & a warm friendly owner. We had such an incredible night, from the food to the atmosphere & people. Loved it!! We ordered pizzas & lasagna & tiramisu for dessert! Everything was delicious & we are already planning our next trip to Montreal so we can revisit this wonderful restaurant!!! Thank you for an incredible night!

Nous avons été accueillies dès notre arrivée de manière chaleureuse. Le service est amical, professionnel & rapide. La nourriture était très bonne. J'ai pris un sandwich aux légumes grillés que j'ai aimé. Le pain était très croustillant. Mon amie a pris le burger qu'elle a aussi aimé. Les desserts étaient aussi très bons. C'est toujours le fun de trouver des endroits avec des bons menus sans gluten pour mon amie qui ne peut pas en manger. Je recommande :)
Excellent service on a l'impression d'être reçu comme chez des membres de la famille. C'est également fantastique pour ma conjointe d'avoir accès à autant de choix sans gluten, même de la bière. On a mangé des pâtes avec un fantastique verre de vin & un dessert à ce rouler par terre. J'ai oublié de prendre des photographies, mais leurs sites Facebook en ont de magnifiques. Il faut également prendre le temps de terminer le repas avec un excellent café.
This place brought so much joy to me & my wife on our visit in Montreal! Truly the best gf pastries & bread we've ever had ! The pistachio roll was maybe the best tasting dessert I've had in years. We live in Ottawa but will be tempted to drive here for our weekend coffee & treats :)
