We came here for my fiancé’s birthday. The waiter was knowledgeable and a manager came out to review my order and ensure that everything I ordered was in fact gluten free. I had the salmon and it was to die for! They also have crème brûlée as a GF desert option, which was delicious. That was the only GF desert, and the menu didn’t seem extensive for GF items overall, but what they did have was incredible and most importantly I felt very very safe!
Wonderful experience at The Keg. They knew about my celiac from the reservation and brought it to my attention. The kitchen manager came out to review my order with me.
I got the top sirloin, fully loaded baked potato, wedge salad and a mini crème brûlée for dessert. Meat was slightly overcooked but it was overall a great visit.
Très sécuritaire! Je recommande sans hésiter

Fantastic experience as always! They are so careful and accommodating. I had the sirloin Oscar with garlic mashed potatoes, delicious and they made my husband’s fries in the oven so I could steal some. They even brought me a free crème brûlée for dessert since it was my birthday.
I could not believe how wonderful my experience was here, from the moment we walked in the door. Very family-friendly, but also felt upscale enough to be celebrating a special occasion. Our server was spectacular and the manager was on it. She came over to talk through my order with me, verify everything was GF, and discuss precautions for cross contamination. Everything tasted amazing and they even gave us complementary champagne for our anniversary AND a dessert for my birthday. They got busy while we were there and we had to wait a while for our check at the end, but I would still go back in a heartbeat because of how well they treated me. I have never felt so reassured at a non-GF restaurant before. I felt great after, which of course is what really matters. Impressed!
I’ve been going to this Keg on Saint Paul regularly, for years, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never been glutened. The staff really care about celiacs, and they send someone to the table to assure you that everything possible is being done to keep you safe. They make GF fries for you, called “oven baked” fries, since the regular fryer isn’t GF. And it’s a very good, classic steakhouse experience! I always feel safe there, and always have a great steak and a great evening. This location is super cozy and is right in the heart of the “old Montreal” / old port area.
Excellent knowledge about GF. Great service. Tasty gluten free food. Manager comes to the table to explain GF precautions they will take with chosen meal.
This is a wonderful steakhouse. As a celiac, they made sure I was comfortable with the procedure of what was being cooked and the ingredients. They were very aware of celiac disease and gluten tolerance. Another person in my party was also gluten intolerance and took it very seriously. My other members of the party were very happy with their meals.
5/5 stars. 100% recommend!
Despite not having a strictly GF menu, they do have GF dishes and if you mention it to the staff, they are very careful with trace contamination. I ordered the filet mignon with sautéed vegetables and it was very good.
Felt very safe but food was just ok. The steak was a little overcooked and tough. But for the price I guess it was ok. They baked the fries I. The oven so I could eat them. Again safe but not too tasty.
So impressed with the Keg! Wait staff was very knowledgeable and out me at ease. The manager came out to talk with me as well and confirmed everything was made separately. It was also delicious!
Not a lot of Gluten free options but all of the steaks were gluten free. I had the Top Sirloin and it was really really good. They gave me oven baked fries which were delish and the whole meal was really great. They were very careful and their manager came and checked in which was great. I had the crème brûlée for dessert which was lovely.
Staff was very knowledgeable and careful. A manager came to my table multiple times to provide information and assurance my meal was gluten free. Food was delicious!
Excellent service and appreciation of the needs of coeliacs. The manager came to our table to explain the precautions that would be taken when preparing food for my wife who is coeliac. She felt really confident that they knew what was needed. The steaks were excellent as well.
All the sides are gluten free. I had the Cesar, and the filet with a twice baked potato. Our waiter and the manager made me feel very safe. Reassured at multiple points during dinner that my food was gluten free. When delivered to the table, they’d say it was prepared separately. And the food was absolutely delicious. Get the twice baked potato.
Service is perfect, they take cross contamination seriously. Experience is perfect
Amazing service! The staff was amazing when I said I had a gluten allergy. They were able to make the shrimp appetizer gluten free for me and it was amazing. The manager even came out to let me know that their staff was aware of my allergy and they were making sure there was so cross contamination. Also you can get the fries baked in the oven and they are better than in the fryer. Great experience and most of their menu is already gluten free. Definitely recommend!!
The Keg has a strict protocol concerning allergies.
They recently changed their menu. Items are marked GF and they also can adapt some item menus to help with allergies.
GREAT experience!! The manager came to verify that I am coeliac and brought me my plate to make sure it wasn’t in any contact with gluten. I would go back just for the service. Food was also very good!
It was not that easy to order GF. Go elsewhere
Most the menu is gf but is not marked as such. The hostess came over and explained what couldn’t be gf and confirmed everything we wanted was ok.
Nice and safe for celiac, just mention it when you ordre
Staff very informed on celiac. The items on menu are not marked gf but waiter said mostly everything can be made gf. The manager came to me and said everything I ordered can be made gf and she was going to talk to the chef to insure my safety. I had the flank steak with lobster and grilled veggies and baked potato. Also had the wedge salad with blue cheese dressing. Everything was excellent.
Excellent protocol here. The manager brought our meal and assured us they took steps to avoid cross contamination. Th e staff is very knowledgeable and we had a great meal!
Excellent steakhouse with fantastic service. They were very knowledgeable and careful about Celiac.
We felt very taken care of here. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and the manager came over after we ordered to reassure us that they were taking all measures to avoid cross contamination. Our entrees took a long time but we had appetizers and the ambiance was fun.
It was great! Server and house manager talked to us about gluten free and dairy free needs. Kitchen prepared separate foods for us. It was delicious and would go back anytime.
It's a good thing my son likes steak because it makes it easier when dining out to find food that is safe for him. We had a nice safe meal at The Keg when we were in Montreal. They did not give us a GF menu, but instead had him look over the regular menu and they would adapt the dishes to work for Celiac. Since they don't have a dedicated fryer, they offered to oven bake his fries. All in all, it worked out perfectly. I appreciated the extra step of having the manager come to the table to confirm for us that they understood the need to avoid cross-contamination in the kitchen and that my son's order would be safe for Celiac. Definitely recommend.
Ate deliciously and was attended to by a manager who oversaw my food! Not a fully gluten free place but was able to eat there without issues!
Notre serveuse n'a pas sourcillé lorsque je lui ai mentionné que je suis cœliaque. Elle m'a immédiatement rassurée et a averti la direction et la direction des cuisines. La direction est venue à ma table pour me confirmer que rien de ce qui allait m'être servi contiendrait du gluten et la personne qui a apporté mon assiette me l'a reconfirmé. On a attitré une personne différente pour apporter mes plats afin qu'ils n'entrent pas en contact avec ceux de ma tablée. Je n'ai eu aucun effet indésirable. Que du pur plaisir!!
The staff alerted management about my Celiac. The manager came over and ensured me the grill would be cleaned before grilling my steak. The food was great. I felt great the next day. Thanks!
Went for a late-night supper for two in August. The waiter was very attentive when I advised him that I was celiac, and the manager came by right after we put in our order - to confirm that my order would be run by the kitchen staff to ensure no cross contamination. The steak 🥩 was delicious.
Recently diagnosed with Celiac, this was the first time I had to place an order in a restaurant with my food restrictions. The server, Antoine, was courteous and gracious and didn’t flinch when I said I had dietary restrictions.
He asked me to place my order and then a manager would verify with the chef to make sure my choices were safe. A manager came over shortly thereafter and confirmed my menu choices, left to speak with the chef, and then returned to let me know how they would alter my meal (in my case, exclude a garnish that was dipped in batter and fried) and asked if this was acceptable to me.
I was so relieved and it totally put me at ease for the rest of the evening. The meal was excellent, but the personalized service and attention to detail really exceeded my expectations. The Keg is definitely on my “Go To” list for dining out.
Good service and attentive to allergies, this is always an option for celiacs when travelling.
I have an allergy to gluten AND soy and the manager was beyond helpful. They were very knowledgeable about allergies. They came out saying the oil contained a trace of soy but they could scrape down the grill for us, which they didn’t and I didn’t get sick. Beyond nice and extremely friendly. Definitely would recommend this place and visit again
awesome service. Manager comes out. We had 2 different types of steak, fries, Rice, and chicken. Scallops wrapped in bacon for an app. Daughter was able to get a milkshake. Excellent and safe!
Absolutely amazing! The staff was extremely knowledgeable and even sent the manager to check in on me! He knew all the ingredients in the food I ordered. Totally put my mind to ease and I definitely enjoyed my food. Would highly recommend this steak house and would go back again!!
Very knowledgeable about celiac and manager came to speak to us about their kitchen practices.
Great service ! Great staff ! Great meal ! The manager came and assured me that everything was celiac friendly. I recommend it !!!
Felt completely fine. Dropping 1 star bc I just preferred firegrill the night before. They have GF clearly marked on menu.
The most attentive staff to a Coeliac s needs and fantastic food including dessert choice highly recommended
Parfait pour un coeliac. Super personnel très au courant des possibles contaminations, menu régulier indiquant les options possible! Wow pour nous!
Wonderful steak house! GF annotations on the menu. Our Celiac family members enjoyed the ribs, BBQ chicken, twice baked potatoes and kids' smoothies.. the service was great. Highly recommend!!
I was so hungry after touring Notre Dame, and went here based on reviews on this site. It did not disappoint. When I mentioned Celiac, they had the manager come to our table & ask some thoughtful questions, such as whether I would be sharing my husbands salad, or eating off his dinner plate. They made sure the entire meal was prepared safely. We shared the wedge salad with blue cheese, and I had a delicious dinner of pistachio crusted salmon, garlic mashed potato, and brussel sprouts with bacon. My husband enjoyed his prime rib & twice baked potato. We were too full for the creme brulee, but I was so happy to have a cozy meal out of the rain, and no reaction!
Absolutely fantastic! Best steak I ever had hands down! Staff was incredibly knowledgable, and gluten free options were clearly marked on the menu. The kitchen manager even came out to ensure that there would be no cross contamination issues. They go above and beyond! Wonderful and well worth the prices!

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, there are many selections and the food was terrific.
Ils ont fait attention lorsque nous avons mentionné que notre fils était cœliaque. Il y a même une manager qui est venue nous revoir pour nous réconforter sur l’utilisation du four au lieu de la friteuse pour les frites. J’ai vraiment été confortable à ce que mon fils mange là-bas.
I’ve been here several times with no issues. Knowledgeable staff, plenty of entree and sides to choose from and usually a dessert too.
Terrific!!
