@Erin Lane, Ugh! Isn't that awful! I wish all chefs were open to creating food for anyone. It's hard though when you're not familiar with the ingredients and how to use them.

Oh! I had to leave a restaurant (in tears) in Ottawa this winter. It was so horrible. I was terribly hungry and the most beautiful plate of food came out. With fried potoatos that were likely contaminated. The chef wasn’t willing to answer my quetion or come talk to me… so we had to leave. Terrible. I understand.

@Christine, Make sure to ask if the food id gluten-free. I don’t have celiac disease so I don’t have severe reactions to foods others would. Have fun!!! We love Montreal and often talk about going back.

I’m just finding this post a couple years later, but it’s very helpful! I was just diagnosed with celiac and my husband and I already had a trip planned to Montreal. This will be our first experience eating gluten free while traveling, and I can’t wait to try the places you suggested. Thanks!

I live in Montreal, and there are two websites that you can check out to see where you can go to eat. restomontreal.com/english. Type in the search engine “Gluten-Free Dishes Available” and you’ll be able to see over 100 restaurants that offer gluten-free dining. Some have Gluten-free menus, others you have to call ahead, but they know what gluten-free is. The other is http://www.theceliacscene.com. Enjoy for whomever wishes to visit Montreal.
