Archibald Microbrasserie

just had an amazing experience here, they have a GF menu which is limited but still great. The server came with my food separately from my partner, told me about the kitchen protocol (hand washing, separate prep etc) but said they can’t guarantee no cross contamination because it is not a GF facility - fair enough! The food was absolutely delicious, I had nachos and pasta. What an absolute joy in an airport GF desert. Been living off granola bars for 24 hours.

Ok so I am always skeptical of airport restaurants, always sub-par and over priced. I was just looking for a GF lunch and oh. my. god. - I had a half portion of their nachos and it was sooo good. They also DO have a Gf menu now!! Has buns for burgers and gf pasta. Not tons of options, but definitely enough choice for a quick stopover meal. Service was also great. One thing to all my celiac friends out there though, they can’t guarantee there won’t be cross -contamination. Long story short, I will be back!

The server provided a lot more information than the person at the front. We were told they take all serious allergen protocols, aiming to have a separate prep area and clean space. Not dedicated area but they say they take precautions, but as always cannot make a guarantee . We had a burger and a salad with a vinegrette they make that is gluten free. It was delicious.

Gluten free bun is available for the burgers, but my partner (celiac) got sick shortly after eating there. They don't guarantee the dishes are safe from cross-contamination, for a good reason.

Would not recommend.

They take great care to keep the food safe. Although the food gets prepped in the same kitchen, it is done on a different area and a single person is responsible for an allergy meal from start to finish to limit the chances of errors/contamination. Also, food for people with allergies only gets served by a manager.

Went here after searching on the FindMeGF app. Impossible to even think about finding a gf place to eat in an airport.everything that previous reviews said about this place were true: gf menu and staff looking you in the eye saying that there were no guarantees, but the did their best. I had a bacon cheeseburger with salad and experienced stomach rumbles and gas but nothing more.

Really awesome to have celiac safe places to eat in an airport!! This restaurant has their own gluten free menu. I had the nachos and my server informed me they are baked so totally safe for celiac!! They also were the BEST nachos ever!

They have a dedicated menu which is very nice. The servers were very knowledgeable. When they brought out the meal they said that they can’t promise there is no cross contamination. So they are aware of that, which is good they tell there customers.

I'm gluten intolerant, but not celiac. Finding gluten free or friendly options when traveling is a never ending struggle - but I now have a "go to" place when flying through the YUL domestic terminal. Service was fast and friendly, and the food was great. The server even took the time to explain twice the measures they use to avoid cross-contamination.

As soon as I asked what they could make gluten free, the waiter asked if I was celiac. He then walked me through the options, including what they could substitute instead of fries without even asking if fries were okay like most restaurants do. There was also two people who brought my food out and they immediately stated as they were handing me my food that the kitchen was extremely careful to ensure there was no cross contamination and that I can safely eat my meal.

Great stop, staff knowledge was excellent. They all knew the difference between celiac and gluten sensitive. The manager delivered my food and informed me that they take celiac very seriously and all kitchen staff wash hands and do there best to prevent cross contamination. Had nachos ( from a bag not the fryer) and a cider. They do have gluten free buns for burgers and pasta option as well.

Was super happy with the experience here, especially for an airport restaurant. As others have said, I had the burger and salad. Definitely was a crumbly, traditional gluten free bun, but I was just happy to find somewhere to eat that takes allergies seriously. Food was even delivered by a manager. Great experience!

The service was amazing and fun! The food in general was very good...fresh and tasty. The gluten free hamburger bun however was powdery. All of you gf people out there know what I mean. It tasted good but fell apart so couldnt eat the burger without a knife and fork. Not complaining,they really did their best and I am not in pain...some places claim they are serving gf, but they don't pass the test. Archibalds passed, just needs a better bun maybe. When they served it they went out of their way to say it was not cross contaminated....impressive!!!

What a joy to find a restaurant that takes your Gf allergy seriously! They adapted the Goat cheese omelette with some wonderful GF toast for one of the best breakfasts I’ve had. They have an assortment of items available using GF buns. Can’t say if it is celiac safe, but I was very pleased with the care they took.

Had a really nice dinner at Archibald in the Airport! I had a burger with GF bun and a nice salad. Someone from the kitchen came to deliver my meal and to say that they made sure to prepare it in a safe area. It was very good! ( freaking expensive, typical of any restaurant in the airport, but still very nice).

Waiter not very knowledgeable. Ordered smoked meat on gf bread, substituting salad for non gf fries. It came out loaded with fries. Sent it back and after 10 minutes or so was told the smoked meat was not gf. Only option was a burger but felt it too risky to eat there.

Staff very knowledgeable. For breakfast they couldn't serve me potatoes and for a salad instead. They have gf bread that they grill separately and they have a nice Blt sandwich. Bacon omelette and classic breakfast too

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable and told me they washed their hands and took a lot of precautions. I am a very very sensitive Celiac and the goatcheese burger was phenomenal. They also carry glutenberg! Both ipa and a blonde.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

yes, they have gutenfree burgers... but as soon as I took a seat the girl made a statement saying that they may be subject to cross contamination and so gluten could be there... I wonder what is the sense of selling GF burgers that could not be GF...

I went away and I was lucky because then I found that in Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge they have a god selection of GF food, free of charge if you can access the lounge and with no disclaimer that GF could not be GF after all..

Bye Bye Archibald! .

Celiac friendly?

No

There is a location at the Trudeau Montreal airport and we were very pleased with the service and food. Only three Gf options: burgers, pasta pesto or salads but the manager came out w the celiac awareness burger and salad. Would recommend this place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF buns but they won't guarantee there won't be any cross contamination.
