Absolutely amazing Celiac-friendly bakery! The beef empanada is delicious. You can't go wrong with the croissant, either. THANK YOU!!

My brain could hardly process the fact that these pastries are GF DF! Almost too good to be true but it is. Celiac life has never tasted this good.

As a celiac person, this was definitely a dream, I would rate this the number 1 bakery that I've tried. Not only is it gluten free but it is also dairy free all the way & the best part is, you cannot taste the difference. My friend is not celiac & also rates this a top spot to go to. Everything was absolutely delicious, definitely recommend the almond croissant! 100% gluten & dairy free.

The best by far.

This little cafe, in a beautiful part of the city, offers the best gluten free (celiac safe) baked goods. The croissants & chocolatines are specifically noteworthy for their similarity to a glutenous version. In our experiences, other boulangeries & patisseries in the city cannot compare.

The prices are reasonable at first glance, then much more appealing after you've experienced the high quality of the products.

The staff are friendly & accommodating, taking time to assure us of the 100% GF nature of the cafe.

While sat, enjoying our late lunch, the owner/manager even allowed us to sample a potential new product offering, a mini tourtière pork pie, with Asian influences.

When we come back to Parc Sans Gluten we will look for these pies to be a mainstay.

Tip: try the Québécois empanada. You will not regret it.

THE BEST gluten free pastries I've had in my 10+ years as a celiac. I've been searching for a place like this & I've finally found it 1500km from home. We will make a point of always stopping here when on road trips. Thank you for your amazing food & friendly service. We will not forget.

Can't put into words how good the empanadas & croissant sandwiches are. Great flavors & buttery bread (non-dairy gluten free bread!). We even tested it by keeping some overnight & although a ham & cheese croissant sandwich & almond croissant did firm up a bit as expected, it still tasted very good. One item that didn't keep was the more traditional bread sandwich but can't win em all. A must visit for any celiac in Montreal!

I was visiting from the US & had to visit because I have celiac. I bought almost every single thing & they were all amazing. Plus the woman working there was super nice.

UPDATE in 2026: This previous review was from 2024, since then Parc sans Gluten has changed owners & it's like day & night! This was the best thing that could have happened to the place. The new owners are super friendly, helpful, they really know what good customer service means! Yes, the prices went up a little bit but besides that the entire place has changed for the better. Now you actually enjoy sitting inside to eat & the quality of the products got also better! No ambiguity anymore when it comes to ingredients, no I don't know how many days old bread.
We could not be happier!

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.
