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.

Best dedicated gluten free restaurant in Montreal. Second time going there & it was an incredible experience. The staff is soooo nice & the food is out of this world. 100% recommend & will be going back!
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.
Première expérience à la Cantine Panella. Repas délicieux & abordables, belle variété de vins, mais surtout un accueil humain, chaleureux, généreux. Tiramisu fortement recommandé. J'y retournerai 😊
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!!

Samedi dernier je m'y suis rendue & rencontré toute l'équipe! J'ai été charmé & ma mère (qui est difficile) a adoré! Merci pour tout ce que vous êtes & faites! Allez y, je le recommande vraiment
Pour le moment je n'ai essayé que le pain & les viennoiseries, & c'était absolument délicieux. Belle variété de produits, la texture des produits est incroyable, c'est à si méprendre ! Sinon, le prix est raisonnable & comparable aux autres boulangeries du quartier, ex. brioche à la cannelle pour 4,50$ & café latte pour 4$. J'ai vu qu'ils ont des menus avec une entrée, repas du jour & espresso pour moins de 20$. J'aime l'ambiance, la terrasse, la musique & le service. Les propriétaires sont très gentils & serviables. Bref, je recommande à tout le monde, coeliaque ou pas ❤️🤤 tellement reconnaissante de vous avoir près de la maison.
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 :)
We tried this restaurant yesterday after all the great reviews & I am so happy we did. We value restaurants where we can enjoy a delicious meal without concerns about cross-contamination. The food quality is exceptional, & the owner operators provided outstanding customer service. As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, I recommend that everyone give this place a try-I'm confident you won't be disappointed, whether you eat gluten-free or not." 🍽️👍
First time here but this place is amazing. The service is great & the food is very reasonably priced with amazing selection. Highly recommend you try this restaurant if you are in montreal. We grabbed bikes & made the ride over from old Port. 100% worth it & will be returning customers ❤️
Amazing restaurant. I'm a coeliac, & at Panella, I was able to enjoy without getting sick. Food is soo good that even my husband, who eats gluten all the time, enjoyed it. Super recommended.
