Joe Beef

Joe Beef is a classic spot in Montreal. They are so cautious with celiac and can make almost anything on the menu gluten free (except the lobster spaghetti)! Our server told us to let her know what we wanted to try and the kitchen would do what was required to make it gluten free. For example, we had the beef tartare that usually comes with bread but they served it to us with endives instead. Three out of four of their desserts were gluten free. I felt safe and had an incredible meal. 10/10!

— Excellent

When the owner of an establishment of this caliber has celiac, you know you're going to be in good hands. This was one of the best meals of my life, and these guys are *on it* with gluten free / celiac awareness. Did not feel worried at all during/after the meal. A tremendous amount of the menu is safe, and their knowledgeable staff will expertly guide you on what to order/avoid. You are in good hands here.

A mainstay of their menu, the lobster spaghetti is (or can?) be made with their delicious, house-made gluten free noodles.

I was also able to share a ton of appetizers "family style" with my non-gf pals - which is a rarity in and of itself. Tons of gf dessert options as well.

Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had a lovely, Celiac safe meal at Joe Beef. They don't have a gluten free menu officially, but the staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. I had lots of things to choose from and never got sick. It was so delicious, would recommend for sure!
