La pizza est délicieuse, option de pain sans gluten & vegan wow! Mais que dire du service, ils étaient tous tellement sympathiques, j'y retourne c'est sûr !
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!

Nous avons tout aimé de ce resto. Tellement bon, prix raisonnable, ambiance de vacances, service de feu. C'est rassurant que ce soit 100% gluten. Que dire de la brioche a la cannelle. Voyons que c'est bon comme cela. Leur pain est malade! Regardez-le sur avec mon tartare. Sexy!
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.

L'un des endroits que je préfère le plus dans le quartier. La nourriture est excellente (j'aurais jamais cru que des gâteaux sans gluten pouvaient être meilleurs que les gâteaux reguliers). En plus,le personnel est tellement gentil & souriant! Vraiment ... c'est un petit paradis pour les gens intolérants au gluten, lactose, etc.
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.
La meilleure boulangerie sans gluten à Montréal. Sans gluten & sans farine de riz! Choix de produits vegan & sans sucre blanc. Tout est savoureux. & en plus de tout ça, le service est impeccable!
