Gluten-Free Montreal: 14 Verified Places to Eat

For an English-speaking traveler, Montreal has a rare charm: it’s one of the only major cities in North America where you can order gluten-free food in both English and French. Our database lists 14 verified addresses, 13 of them fully dedicated — and the city has real personality, blending French-style bakery tradition (gluten-free croissants and chocolatines included) with cuisines from around the world, from Venezuela to Indonesia.

What the city has to offer

Dedicated tables from around the world

The undisputed star is Arepera (4.6★, over 3,500 reviews): this Venezuelan spot on Rue Prince-Arthur Est builds its entire menu — arepas, empanadas, desserts — around corn flour, in a space designed to be completely safe for people with celiac disease. In the Mile-End, Satu Lagi serves Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine tapas-style: satay, beef rendang, pandan crème brûlée. On the Plateau, Krapow reinvents Thai classics with its signature coconut-lemongrass rice, while Roll’V, the city’s first 100% gluten-free Vietnamese restaurant, invented Montreal’s very first gluten-free bánh mì and earned GFFP Gluten-Free Approved certification in 2026. Add Tapi Go! (4.8★) and its Brazilian tapioca-flour crepes on Boulevard Saint-Laurent, and La Bolo à Lolo (4.9★), a small counter-shop on the Plateau run by the friendly Gordy, where “sacoche”-style sandwiches come at gentle prices.

North America’s gluten-free croissant capital

It might be the French heritage speaking: Montreal excels at gluten-free viennoiserie. Le Marquis Signature santé, in Old Montreal, has been working gluten-free since 2012 with certified organic ingredients — its croissants and chocolatines are especially well regarded. In Villeray, L’artisan délices sans gluten et sans lait, founded by pastry chef Riad Soltane, adds baguettes, quiches and custom cakes that are much sought after for birthdays. Near Parc La Fontaine, Parc Sans Gluten laminates its croissants in a dedicated workshop, free of both gluten and dairy. In Rosemont, Cantine Panella (4.9★) is the quintessential family address: bread, pasta, pizza and homemade pastries. In the Mile-End, lu & i leans vegan and local, with buckwheat breads and kombucha from Quebec suppliers. And in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Petit Cake MTL specializes in desserts that are gluten-free, free of added sugar and often low in carbs. One caveat to close: Vegâteau, a vegan pastry shop, offers a nice gluten-free selection designed with celiacs in mind, but not the whole menu is guaranteed — check which products are available when you order.

The creperie at Jean-Talon Market

A one-of-a-kind spot in the city: tucked inside Jean-Talon Market, Crêperie Du Marché is Montreal’s only fully gluten-free creperie. Every crepe is made from organic Quebec buckwheat flour — with no trace of wheat on site — and pairs with teas, kombuchas and even a few gluten-free beers.

Our tips for visiting

• No language barrier: just say “I have celiac disease, is this gluten-free?” — English works everywhere in Montreal, and in the most French-speaking spots, “je suis cœliaque” opens every door just as well.
• The national association: the Canadian Celiac Association; in Canada, a food labeled “gluten-free” must contain no more than 20 ppm of gluten.
• The Plateau and the Mile-End have the highest concentration of addresses — stay in these neighborhoods if gluten-free dining is guiding your trip, with Old Montreal and Rosemont rounding out the picture.
