Hi Rachel,

I'm from Granby ... i dont know if you are making your own bread. But there is a place in
St-hyacinthe ... her little girl has coeliac disease and she opened a little boutique gluten free
it's call Les glutineries there's one in brossard to, but the one in st-hyacinthe is a lot better.
she has a web site www.lesglutineries.com

She does a very delicious bread (corn) ... you really must try it!!! it's worth the ride I'm telling
you. She does lot a good meal it's all home made ...

What king of bread are you eating??

isabelle :rolleyes:

Allo Isabelle,

I've been shopping at Les glutineries in Brossard. I usually get her bread, the white bread made with rice. I find it very good. My mother has made some different type breads in her bread maker but I find them to be very crummy. Unless you toast the bread, it breaks up into pieces and it's very difficult to eat a sandwich.

I found that some of the food sold at Les glutineries is also sold at Loblaws and it's cheaper.

I just bought today des paté au poulet, des tourtieres, paté au saumon. Ils sont tellement bons.

How long have you been celiac? Are you doing well with the diet?

Hiya Rachel,

I'm from Montreal as well. and, like you, I am newly diagnosed. I am also trying to find places for specialty foods.

I have heard that Marie Nature in Laval is a very good place. I hope to go there sometime in the next week.

Hey Rachel,

I also live near the Montreal area - in Laval. And you can definitely find gluten free foods at some IGA's, and Loblaws'. There is also a factory called "Glutino" in Laval located in Fabreville. They have breads, bread crums, different types of flours, cereals, hamburger buns, etc. I usually get my gluten free food from IGA and the Glutino factory only if I couldn't find what I wanted/needed at IGA.

There is also a Gluten free restaurant located in Laval and another one in St-Laurent not far from Cote-Vertu metro called "Ottavio". Commensal also has gluten free meals as well.

Does anyone else know of any other restaurants that are gluten free? I feel like I miss out on a lot of social gatherings because of my new-found allergy to gluten. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Positive bloodwork July 15th 2008.
Negative biopsy.
Gluten free since July 23rd 2008
Sorbitol intolerance.

Hiya,

http://restomontreal.ca is a web site for restaurants in Montreal. Among the search criteria available on the site is 'gluten-free' restaurants.

I have just corresponded with one of the places listed - Restaurant Bonaparte (443 St-François-Xavier, Montreal, Quebec, H2Y 2T1 - (514) 844-4368). I received the following reply:

"...Please note that we do serve gluten-free food. You just have to mention it when you make your reservation and remind them when you come. Do not hesitate to contact us for further information. Thank you."

Few readers contacted me and asked me about this company.
Well the taste is amazing, non Celiac family members who tasted it did not believe/noticed it's Gluten Free.
They moved to a new location
so their phone number changed and it is now:
514-6870161, If they line is busy they always call back.
So leave a message and they will call you back.
