The Keg

Hi everyone,

I just got back from a long weekend in Montreal with my boyfriend. While there, we ate at The Keg in Old Montreal, and it was FANTASTIC. They have an entirely separate menu for gluten-free, and I was able to eat without any problems at all. I had the caesar salad with grilled chicken and sweet potato fries - yup, all gluten-free and no cc. Absolutely outstanding.

Also as a side note, in DT Montreal we went to a restaurant called Commensal, which is a veggie/vegan/gluten-free/Dairy-free/Soy-free etc option buffet restaurant. I picked all gluten-free options (tasty) but unfortunately still managed to get into something :( However, as I did not have any reaction at all in my stomach, but a very severe reaction in my ears and windpipe, I can only conclude right now that I was allergic to "something" I ate there - but it does seem that their Gluten-free options are safe, so check it out.

We were traveling just after my diagnosis, and ate there while in Montreal. The gluten-free menu did not yet exist in 2000, but they were aware and accommodating.

In the decade since, I have eaten at The Keg at numerous locations. Mostly they have been the two closest to where we live. I have never had a problem there. They are not as prominent in their gluten-free options as Outback are, but are solidly behind them. Sadly, Outback no longer operate in the province of Ontario.

I was born in Montreal but live in Texas. I haven't been in Montreal for 25 years. I wonder if they still have Orange Julius???? Mmmmmm that was really yummy. I think it has dried milk powder though.

I don't recall seeing any Orange Julius, so I can't say, sorry.

Peter - does that mean that The Keg in Toronto also offers gluten-free menus? I haven't been to The Keg in Toronto since going gluten-free, so I wasn't aware.

Too bad about The Outback - the more gluten-free-friendly restaurants, the better! Have you checked out Remezzo's pasta yet?

It is supposed to be chain-wide. Open Original Shared Link

No, I haven't been to Remezzo's yet.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
