AMAZING. They have REAL gluten-free bread, i.e. tastes & texture's like a loaf of bread from a good non gluten-free bakery. Lots of choices, some lactose free & vegan options as well. The existence of this place makes me feel a lot better about not being able to eat gluten lol.

I could cry it was so good. I had the asago sandwich & cinnamon bun. My fiancé had the lasagna & cupcake. We took lots of bread home too. Everything was so good I felt normal for 15 minutes, not like the gluten free cardboard other places serve.
Cantine Panella is amazing! The service was super friendly, & the food was incredible. The bread was so good, but the focaccia? Out of this world. & don't even get me started on the tiramisu-it was insane. Definitely a must-visit!
Mon copain qui est coeliaque m'a montré cet endroit. J'ai pris le repas du soir (fettuccine avec boulettes de viande) & le Tiramisu, mon copain a pris le grilled cheese au poulet & le profiterole, tout était délicieux. Le propriétaire est sympathique & attentionné. J'y reviendrai certainement, merci pour le service excellent!

Belle petit endroit relax. Style rustique, très propres, bien accueilli & surtout SG! J'ai dégusté une excellente lasagne & les pâtisseries m'ont mises l'eau à la bouche même si je n'en ai pas acheté. Merci!
Nourriture délicieuse, ambiance chaleureuse & propriétaires tellement gentils! Longue vie à votre merveilleux resto où ceux qui ont la maladie de coeliaque ( & les autres aussi! 😊) peuvent se régaler!! Trop hâte d'y retourner!
La Cantine Panella est le paradis du sans gluten! La nourriture est délicieuse & les propriétaires sont chaleureux. Les prix sont très raisonnables & la formule du menu du jour est extraordinaire. En tant que coeliaque, il est possible de manger en toute quiétude. Bref, je recommande fortement! C'est toujours un réel bonheur de venir manger à la Cantine Panella! Je ne suis jamais déçue!
Such a warm atmosphere at this bakery! The staff was very welcoming & genuine, & everything we had was delicious! My friend is celiac & this really limits her eating-out options. She was so impressed by this place! Thank you Cantine Panella staff:)
Super belle découverte aujourd'hui. Un endroit où l'on peut manger sans gluten sans inquiétude. De plus la nourriture est créée sans compromis. Une adresse à revisiter lors de ma prochaine visite à Montréal.
