En choisissant ce restaurant, vous avez la garantie de vous sentir en sécurité. J'ai été chaleureusement accueillie par notre serveur qui a rapidement changé ma coutellerie et mon verre pour des couverts identifiés sans gluten (en rouge). Il y avait un menu sans gluten intégré au menu principal avec une bonne variétés de choix. J'aurais appréciée que les plats de pâtes soient davantage diversifiés avec viande et légumes par exemple, mais tout était délicieux. J'ai pu manger des pennes sauce rosé, avec un pain sans gluten et une mousse au chocolat belge. Définitivement un restaurant que je revisiterai à l'avenir. Aucune réaction par la suite.

The experience at this restaurant was like I’ve never had! I was greeted with my own set of utensils with a red napkin surrounding them. I was also brought my own water. All of the gluten-free items are in red dishes so that there’s no question as to what is gluten-free. We have family here in Montreal and I will be coming here every single time we visit. Perhaps more than once! Do not doubt that this is a safe place. We know how hard it is, but you will find it here in Montreal.

One thing nobody mentioned! It is a bring your own alcohol. So although I was happy with the safe water, I really wanted a glass of wine. 😉

Dijonaise muscles and arancini are to die for! A whole separate gf kitchen and all allergens are well marked! Would come here every day if I lived nearby!

We went here during our honeymoon and I didn't get glutened a single time on the trip.

Very nice restaurant and their all-GF separate kitchen made it feel much safer than other places that aren't 100% dedicated GF. Good food and an upscale, pleasant environment.

This place is excellent! They have gluten free menu and a separate kitchen for gf. Very strict protocols. Most importantly, the food is excellent. Great pastas, gf garlic bread and desserts. We are traveling in Montreal and found this gem. Best italian gf we have tasted. Worth traveling to. They are very good with nut allergies as well.

Okay so - supposely safe in terms of cross contamination, as they switch the cuterly and plates. However, my cup (that was changed because of celiac) had lipstick on it. Which honestly made me think is not that safe for cross contamination if they don't have the simplest procedures for cleaning. Also, a little overpriced for the quality of the food - it wasn't bad, but it wasn't super great. I had higher expectations, but it was alright.

They understood celiac disease well, in French and English. Had bilingual gluten-free menu. They switched the glasses to special gluten-free ones and served the meal on special gluten-free plates. So overall, they took it very seriously. I saw other patrons with the gluten-free dishes so evidently it's trusted by locals and tourists alike.

The garlic bread was really good, if not exactly what you might expect. The pasta was nice, but nothing incredible - this isn't Senza Gluten NYC-level food. The buns before the meal unfortunately weren't that great. With all the buns and garlic bread and pasta, it was plenty enough food for me.

It was nice inside, the staff was friendly. Overall I had a good experience eating out at a new place, which is always special to me and never guaranteed. I would go back and recommend it to others.

I am celiac. They were very aware of everything. They had a menu, just for special allergies. Had many things to choose from. Was a very pleasant experience.even the soap in the bathroom was gluten free. Definitely going back. Thank you. Able to eat and enjoy my night. Also bring your own wine.

I eat here every year on my birthday because I feel confident about the gf experience. Also, it's bring your own wine :-) They are hyper aware of celiac: they have a separate menu, they bring you fresh cutlery, napkins, plates and glasses, and everything gf is served on a red dish so there is no risk of mix ups. I gave it 4 stars because some of the dishes could be a bit tastier but overall, a very good experience.

What an absolute pleasure to be able to sit in a beautiful restaurant (after showing our vaccine passports) and see an actual allergen menu! The gluten free option abound, but I got the garlic bread and the Québécois pizza. The server was great, extremely friendly and the first thing he asked is if anyone had any allergies. I said I have celiac and am gluten free and they switched out my water glass and my cutlery. These are kept separate for guest safety and to alert the staff to the allergy. Even the gluten free water is in a separate pitcher to avoid cross contamination. The plates are red instead of white to ensure no mistakes are made. I highly recommend and would gladly eat here again!

Somewhere you can eat gluten-free without any concerns and be completely relaxed about everything you put in your mouth. That makes for quite a special meal!

A go to place when I want gluten free Italian food. Always delicious and always consistently gluten free. Good for the whole family

I have to amend my review. I’ve gotten sick there multiple times from the pizza and the bread. I’m not sure if it was the dough, cross contamination or if it was the sauce or what. They are cautious so it’s a surprise.

Im totally fine with pasta and fries. I’m going to avoid their pizza/ bread things. Will still eat there just not stuff they bake themselves.

Another great Gluten Free supper! We had a group kids and adults celebrating year end soccer party. Multiple allergies including Gluten and everyone had a delicious and safe meal.

My daughter who is celiac had her favorite Gluten Free garlic bread and poutine! Simply delicious. I had the gluten free Italian pizza well done it was perfect!

We ended with the best gluten free dessert of all times which is their fried dough! You have to have when you go. Everyone loved their meals and the service is wonderful. We simply can’t say enough about this restaurant!
