A gluten-free diet has become quite prominent over the past decade-plus. The diet consists of excluding foods that contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and triticale (a cross between wheat and rye).
If you have an intolerance, an allergy, or your diet recommends cutting out gluten entirely, there’s a wide range of restaurants in Montreal that have gluten-free menus and meals.
And we’re talking all the good stuff. From pizza, pasta, sushi, cookies, and more, here are some notable gluten-free spots across Montreal.
