Reviewers describe Parc Sans Gluten as a standout gluten free bakery where croissants, pastries, empanadas, and tarts are consistently delicious, with many items being both gluten free and dairy free without sacrificing flavor. The staff is repeatedly praised for being friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, and the atmosphere is described as welcoming and comfortable, with several notes about improvements under the new ownership. Highlights commonly mentioned include the chocolate croissant, almond croissant, danishes, lemon tart, tiramisu, fruit tarts, and buttery empanadas that taste like their gluten versions. People traveling from near and far say it is worth a visit, often planning trips around the bakery, and many express gratitude for a reliable gluten free option that is safe for celiacs. While a few reviews point out occasional price concerns or service gaps, the overall sentiment is admiration for the quality, variety, and consistent gluten and dairy free offerings that make Parc Sans Gluten a standout in Montreal.
I discovered Parc Sans Gluten yesterday while hanging out at Parc La Fontaine with some friends, & I am so glad I did. As someone with celiac disease, finding safe places to eat can be stressful, so the fact that it was only about a five minute walk from where we were in the park already felt like a win.
Even though we arrived pretty late in the day & they were closing in about an hour & a half, I was surprised by how many options were still available. The selection felt generous & thoughtfully organized. One side had more tarts & pastries, while the other featured classic items like croissants, chocolatines, & almond chocolatines. It actually felt like walking into a'normal' bakery, which is rare when you have to eat gluten free.
I ordered a ham & cheese croissant, which I have been craving for so long. Being able to order one at a café without worrying about getting sick honestly felt amazing. It was super flaky, reminded me of buttery goodness (but it is dairy free!) & really satisfying. I also grabbed a chocolatine for later, & it held up perfectly. I reheated it at home & it tasted fresh, with lots of rich chocolate inside, exactly how I like it.
My friend, who does not need to eat gluten free, also loved their almond chocolatine & said they would definitely come back. The staff member working was incredibly kind & attentive, even checking in to make sure everything was good. They also gave me a loyalty card, which was a nice touch.
It is maybe about a dollar more expensive than other gluten free spots I have tried, but for the quality & peace of mind, it is absolutely worth it. I will definitely be back & recommending it to others.
This place has the best gluten free pastries & croissants I have ever had. My husband has celiac & he said it was the best bakery he has ever had. I would've never guessed it was gluten free. The staff is very nice & very knowledgeable about the products they serve. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing! The best gluten-free croissant I've ever had, or ever imagined I'd have. I will plan all future trips to Montreal around this bakery.
The absolute BEST bakery!!! Everything I had here was out of this world, the best gluten free pastries- my friend who is not gluten free said that it's the best chocolate croissant she's had hands down! I came back the next day & then again to buy frozen croissants to take home! The owner is AMAZING!!! The sweetest lady who cares so much about quality & taste & it is evident!!! I wish I lived in Montreal so I could go every day!
Such an incredible gluten free bakery!!! Their pastries (both sweet & savory) are incredible. Staff are also very sweet. Highly recommend for anyone - celiac or not!
Visited this bakery a few times on my latest trip to Montreal & it did not disappoint. The baked goods are truly delicious & the owner is so nice- it is obvious that she really loves her business & her customers. I would recommend this bakery to anyone, whether you're gluten free or not! The chocolatine especially was one of the best I've had, including amongst gluten versions.

My husband & I are from the states & we come to Montreal at least once a year & love finding new food places to enjoy. I was diagnosed celiac 4yrs ago & the one thing I have not had in those 4 years is a croissant. I love almond croissants & most other desserts & when we found this place we were so excited. To walk in to a bakery & see beautiful pastries & know that they are all gf was one of the greatest feelings. We got a few things to try. The chocolate almond croissant, a turkey & cheese croissant sandwich, the chicken & spinach empanada. Everything was excellent, amazing, out of this world. The texture was more dense than a croissant with regular flour but still had that croissant feel. It was actually more filling & kept me full the rest of the day, whereas a'regular' croissant in the past would've held me over for maybe an hour & then I'd need something of more substance. We bought extra stuff to take home with us (can't wait to try the tiramisu) & will definitely return to this bakery anytime we are in the city. To top it off, one of the owners chatted with us about how they are able to make their desserts gluten & dairy free (which is mind blowing that the croissants didn't use use butter because I could not tell). She was so lovely & kind & wanted to make sure we were enjoying everything. I could have just hung out there & talked all day. Thank you for the kind service & tasty treats!
Absolutely the best gluten free chocolate croissant I have ever had! We have traveled all over the world & this is definitely the best!! We live in New York & anytime we come to Montreal we always come to this AMAZING bakery!!
This bakery was rescued by the amazing new owner who took over several months ago. It has been my go-to gluten-free bakery in Montreal ever since. Whether you haven't been or had last been there before the new ownership, I highly recommend you give it a chance.
They have been offering new baked goods & special desserts, on top of their yummy classics. My favorite being the chocolatine aux amandes. Celiacs, rejoice 🙌 so happy to see this bakery thriving again thanks to the wonderful new admins, who are so warm & welcoming. The kind of local business that deserves all our support.

I was so excited to discover this bakery on our trip to Montreal. I haven't had a good pastry since going gluten free. We tried the chicken & spinach empanadas, chocolate & plain croissants, & the multi grain bread. They were amazing! I was the only gluten free person in our group & everyone enjoyed the treats. We wouldn't have known they were gluten free.
I highly recommend this patisserie!
Purely wonderful!!! Chocolate croissants & Chicken & Spinach empanada were to die for. Well worth the trip to this gluten free bakery in this quaint park side neighborhood.
Not the fanciest bakery & was missing some products, but the food they did have was amazing. It is always great to find these hidden bakeries that are 100% gluten-free. I will definitely be returning.
This is not the fanciest gluten-free bakery in the area. What it does do is croissants very well with different fillings. It is definitely worth your visit. It's less expensive than the other bakeries. What you find here are amazing croissant, empanadas., & wraps. I would definitely come here again.
My partner is celiac & this is one of the few gluten free places we can go to on the Plateau. Unfortunately, our experience there has gotten worse & worse. Not only is the service far from friendly (the person looks as if they don't like working there at all) but the sandwiches don't contain what's indicated on the label. Instead of peas, carrots & chicken you get a sandwich with chicken & bell pepper only in it. Very DISAPPOINTING, I would even call it false advertising. Another negative point is their communication. We asked them two weeks ago if they have any vacation planned so we could be prepared & go elsewhere. No, they said, nothing planned. Now, they have been closed for two weeks in a row with no sign on the door, no changed hours on Google, nothing. Please, take into consideration that there's people out there who are DEPENDENT on gluten free options & that can't just go to a different place just like that!! Their prices seem to be random as well, no price labels & our sandwich has a different price every time we buy there. En plus, the machine will be held towards you so you can't see the price. If this wasn't literally the only 100% gluten free bakery on the Plateau, we'd look elsewhere, but since it's close to Parc Lafontaine it's a nice stop for a snack in the park.
