Wow wow wow! J'ai tellement adoré mon dinner à cette petit le place. Vraiment friendly & on se sent comme à la maison. La pizza prosciutto était excellente & délicieuse. Le service est impeccable !!
We travelled from New Brunswick with 9 people. There were multiple allergies in the group & they went above & beyond to ensure meals for everyone that were incredible! The owner Ben was amazing & all the staff took such good care of us. Even moving tables together to make a space for our whole family to sit together. I can't recommend this place more. 100% on every mark. The food was incredible! So wonderful to be able to eat somewhere with such comfort & confidence that it is safe!

Excellent food & service! Dedicated gluten free restaurant. Also was able to confidently eat corn & dairy free. No symptoms after enjoying the wonderful meal! Thank you Ben!
I went to this restaurant with eight other people, though it would take up a good deal of their dinning area they insisted on setting up a table for nine. The service was great, & they speak good English.
Some of us have celiac, along with more than a few other allergies. The food tasted amazing! & I would totally go again if I were in Montreal, I recommend anyone with allergies or without try this place.
very disappointed with the muffin I purchased today. They are clearly NOT freshly baked. They formed a crust on top as they were exposed to air for a long time, maybe a day or more. They also not moist inside. definitely not worth the price of $5.50 each. I won't be returning again.

We sought them out based on other reviews & we were not disappointed. It can be difficult to find a place for Celiacs to eat with confidence - Ben & the rest of the staff are knowledgable, attentive, & great at setting people at ease. The food was delicious & proved safe for those in our party with celiac disease. We will return with confidence. Thank you again!
I ordered a strawberry shortcake for a birthday celebration & couldn't be happier with the experience. Alessandra & Benjamin made the entire process smooth & stress-free. The cake was fully customized to fit our event from the ingredients to the number of servings & even the shape.
It was absolutely delicious, light, fresh, & perfect after dinner. We received many compliments from our guests. Highly recommend!
