Ate here twice: the first time I got poutine which was delicious and gave me no problems, and a nice cocktail (love their drink menu!). However the second time I tried a bite of my dad’s (also gluten free) pasta dish, and I was up suuuuuper sick all night. He’s only gluten sensitive so was less bothered by it. I’m wondering if it was just a one-time mistake somehow, because I even double checked to make sure it was GF before I had those two noodles. I’m super saddened by this because I like it here a lot, it’s been a few months and I might give it another try and ask some more questions next time. I’d exercise caution if you have celiac.

Really good food, 95% of the menu was gf (or could be made gf). I had the goat dip, beef tacos, and lava cake, all gluten free, all 10/10. Felt good to just order food and not have to worry about safety

Owner was diagnosed celiac and is allergic to dairy. Most of the menu can be made gluten free including mozzarella sticks and a fried oh henry bar! The actual bar has a great ambiance and is well decorated as well! Great hidden spot

Food may be a little pricy for some, but it’s extremely good. It’s also a safe spot for people with celiac disease.

Had our best meal in Montreal at Kali Bistro. I can't wait to go back. We had burgers and fish tacos, with cheddar cheese sticks and the parmesan fries with truffle aioli as appetizers. All was gluten free for me, but you couldn't tell, which is great when I'm with special/family guests I don't want to scare away with my celiac needs. So many options on their menu marked GF (and SG for sans gluten en français on the flip side). They have a dedicated deep fryer for their gluten-free food, and even sometimes have GF beer! (Unfortunately, they just ran out of the beer though, it being Saint Patty's Day and all.) The atmosphere was cool, the music was really fun, and I was comfortable to bring my kids there but also would love to bring just adult friends there for a grown-ups night out. Service was as fantastic as the food. Don't miss it! 🍻🍔🍸🥗

Such a gem! Super cool vibe, lots of yummy gluten free options and a dedicated gf fryer. I got a potato chip encrusted crispy chicken burger on a gluten free bun with fries and it was delicious.
