Gluten-free Food And Restaurants In Montreal


Suzie-GFfamily

Recommended Posts

Anyone live in Montreal or travel there often?

I'm looking for some suggestions of places to eat in the city. I'd like places that are casual (I'll have my children with me)- perhaps places that only the locals know about??? Any type of cuisine- could be American, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Ethiopian, Greek... we like virtually everything.

Anything within the city.... doesn't have to be in the tourist section. If it is accessible by metro than it will do... Cote des Neiges, the Plateau, NDG, Parc extension, Snowdon, Pie IX, etc. Of course, if you have any recommendations for places along Ste. Catherine or the Old Port, that would be good too.

I used to live in Montreal before I was diagnosed as celiac, so I'm familiar with the city but not familiar with gluten-free-friendly restaurants.

Any suggestions for places to buy gluten-free products would be welcome too... we'll be eating some of our meals in our hotel room.

Just contaced Swiss Chalet and found out they don't have any restaurants in Montreal :(

Does anyone know if the rotisserie chicken at St. Hubert (the Quebec version of Swiss Chalet) is gluten-free? Does anyone have any experience eating there?

Also- disappointed to find very few Wendy's locations in Montreal. There were none listed in the downtown area at all. Their website shows 2 locations in the very north east part of the city and 2 on Decarie.

Hi Suzie,

In case you are still looking for places to eat in Montreal, we have found a great restaurant called ZERO 8 (they avoid 8 of the most common allergens in food inc. gluten). You can find it on the web. It is located on St-Denis at the Berry metro station. Very easy to get to. It's not cheap, but the food is excellent. They also sell frozen meals to go (and bread). The staff is also fantastic.

Hello,

I live in Montreal, and keep looking for places to go. So if you find some more let us know.

We are very lucky to have two places that serve gluten free dishes close by in NDG. Casa Azul serves Mexican food in amazing corn flour tortillas (ask them to use a clean pan as they also have wheat tortillas). The second is Bangkok express, They have many wheat free dishes, and the only ones that do have the wheat, the wheat is in the sauce which is added at the end on the serving plate, so no cross contamination.

They have a breaded cho-chi fish (rice flour based) that my son LOVES!! We loved it before he was diagnosed!!

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
