Modavie

I was hoping we'd be able to find a French-style Bistro to eat at and Modavie fit the bill! The manager reassured us when he seated us that the waiter could walk us through what was safe to eat. We had french onion soup, poutine, and ratatouille. The poutine was so good we ordered a second helping!

Mixed review. The waiters are familiar with celiac, they are well trained. However - when we went, I ordered a simple meal. Filet mignon with fries. When I tested the meal with a portable device for the presence of gluten below 20ppm, it flagged gluten. I asked the waiter and she confirmed the kitchen made a mistake and put the wrong sauce. They tried again, this time just fries and it passed. Hard to say! I would dine here again but not without testing.

Service and ambiance were incredible. Food was top notch. They really understand celiac, our server went over each meal and explained what was safe (all sauces except for Caesar dressing, dedicated fryer). After each order was rung in, he came back to tell me again he had let the kitchen know about my celiac. Felt well taken care of and had absolutely no reaction. This was a meal I will always remember ♥

I ate here twice while on vacation. Didn’t have a reaction either time and staff was very attentive to making sure there was no cross contamination. Food and service was great! Confirmed the fryer was a dedicated gluten free fryer.

I ate lamb penne and it was DELICIOUS. They are very aware of celiac disease. I wrote it on my reservation, the manAger and the server knew it when i arrived and they told the chef who used different utensils for my meal. Everything was delicious

I was thoroughly impressed at how many items both entrees and main courses were GF. The whole table ordered GF and all had different plates! The restaurant is very concious, just make sure to inform your waiter. We had a birthday so were able to bring our own cake we bought at Tau. They offered to cut it and serve it in plates with a candle. The food was great. Will definitely go back and enjoy their Jazz band.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband and I went to enjoy the jazz. It might be touristy but it was fun and romantic. I had salad, chicken and creme brûlée for dessert.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent meal. Great server. Had the mussels and fries and the filet mignon followed by the creme brulee for dessert. Yum!

Good food and very fast service! Waitress knew what celiac meant and wrote down my allergy! Dedicated fryer, delicious French fries!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

lots of GF options and the staff and kitchen are very knowledgeable. We had the mussels $ fries, pasta Bolognese, steak and frites, and shrimp risotto. Great restaurant and safe!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Since this restaurant is located in the old port it caters more to tourists (your plate arrives a few minutes after ordering, not really a night out kind of place). The food is ok, without being fantastic but it appears to be a safe place to eat for celiacs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

All pasta is gluten free. Fries are fried separately. Most items are gf and other items can be adapted.

Very knowledgeable staff and great food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Was so excited to eat here after reading the reviews. My steak came out ice cold so I sent it back. I think there was confusion when they made it again. I was feeling pretty ill after eating here. The manager was not nice about the situation

All their pasta is gluten free and they were wonderful to work with. We enjoyed pasta, risotto and a wonderful outside space!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very friendly! Enjoyed the braised lamb poutine. Felt safe eating here and would return for sure. My husband also enjoyed his non gluten free meal which is nice!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There were many options and the staff is knowledgeable (which I found be the case everywhere in Montreal). I had a delicious chicken dish with morel sauce and French fries. I loved the variety of vegetables. All my non GF friends were extremely happy there.

Had an excellent meal here. GF items are clearly marked and there are many good choices.

Pleasant meal here with no worries. Lamb chops and fish delicious. GF creme caramel!

Staff was very knowledgeable and careful with my celiac daughter. Service and food were also great. We’re going back !

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgeable and attentive staff; excellent food. Although there is no kids menu they were happy to make GF pasta for my daughter with celiac. They asked about the severity of her allergy, showed me how they noted “severe allergy” on the ticket, and happily answered all my questions regarding cross contact. When the pasta arrived it was gorgeous and delicious. My mom and I also ordered delicious dishes that could easily be made GF: beet salad, carrot risotto, and salmon gravlax. I’m writing the review one day after and we have had no reaction.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing! We had dinner here and lunch while in Montreal. The steak frites, pasta, poutine, and salads were all wonderful! The service was also perfect.. cannot recommend this restaurant enough. They have a dedicated fryer and the staff is very knowledgeable about their gluten free options- and will ask the chef if they are not 100% sure that something is GF. Very vice ambience and live music every evening.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable. Atmosphere amazing. Gluten free pasta and many other menu items can be GF. Also delicious GF Creme brûlée. No dedicated fryer but an great meal. My daughter is very sensitive- has Celiac - and had a great meal of salad - pasta - Creme brûlée

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They don't always have GF pasta but they had it today. Great server, we ordered everything GF but took enzymes to be on the safe side! Wonderful atmosphere and cocktails.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The host was very polite about it but turned me away, told me he didn't have anything gluten free and recommended another restaurant which he thought could do gluten free.

They have gluten free pasta now and it is wonderful. Waitress was very knowledgable and all of the food we got was delicious. Highly recommend anything with lamb.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything on the menu can be made gluten free, except for the pasta. Our group had the lamb burger, steak, duck, and lamb chops, and they were all delicious.
