love that everything is safe for celiacs and they have great dairy-free options. the breakfast croissant sandwiches are okay, but the staff seems pretty unorganized and they tend to get orders mixed up when it gets busy. good to try once but a bit overhyped for the cost read more

This is one of the best gluten free bakeries I've visited in the world. Great hours and open every day. You can dine in or get your items to go. Indoor seating is limited and can get a little busy on the weekends. I just spent the last week in Montreal and visited 4 times. Croissants, pain au chocolates, milles feuilles, tarts, cakes, madeleines, oh my! I tasted so many things and as I sit here in the airport I am eating my final treat, a croissant sandwich with smoked salmon and a variety of fixings. When I find really good food I often forget to take pictures because of how fixated I am on enjoying it. This is one of those times. No pictures, only memories. My husband can eat gluten and he was delighted with everything we tried. This is a must visit bakery in old town Montreal. read more

If you have gluten and lactose free intolerances like me (ibs fodmap diet), then you should go here! Wish they had options like this in the US :( Having issues with gluten sucks, but this bakery makes you forget that it does :) Un bon endroit! read more

We visited 2 locations as 2 of us cannot tolerate wheat and we haven't had croissants (in 16 years and never ever) so having fully GF and wheat free croissants and other pastries and all tasting like real ones was a treat. They sell them frozen as well as right there. Friendly staff in both places so many choices and reasonably priced. Also great coffee and organic teas. What more do you want? read more

Jasmine was amazing very helpful The croissant was awesome Cannot wait to taste the tart and the brownie read more

We tried this bakery/cafe this morning and we were blown away. My husband has celiac and we are always on the hunt for gluten free food when we travel. The almond croissants were amazing, including for me who eats baked goods that aren't gluten free. And the price was so low, around $5 for a HUGE croissant. The extra bonus is that the cafe sells frozen croissants and phyllo dough. We bought plenty to bring to our home in NH. We will make regular trips to Montreal to partake in this incredible gastronomic experience and replenish our inventory. Wow!! Thank you so much, Monsieur Marquis! read more

While visiting Montreal this week and staying in the Plateau Mont Royal area, my wife and I have gone out everyday walking to different areas of town. After enjoying the pedestrian-friendly Ave. Mont-Royal, we decided to walk up Saint-Denis to the pedestrian-friendly area of Rue De Castelnau Street east from Saint-Denis to De Gaspé. It was a long walk for us, but we were soon rewarded because almost as soon as we turned the corner onto Rue De Castelnau, we came across Boulangerie Le Marquis, with a sign out front stating that it was gluten-free. And since my wife has Celiac Disease, that sign was like a beacon of sunshine in an otherwise dreary, rainy morning. And it even got better as we learned that everything in the bakery was gluten-free, including not only all the pastries, but the wraps and other items as well. And as a vegan, I was also pleased to see several delicious-looking vegan pastries as well. The only downsides to the boulangerie if you are planning to dine in, are that they only have seating for two near the window, and they don't serve coffee. On the bright side however, we were told that we could buy a cup of coffee at the cafe next door, and then bring it back and drink it here while enjoying the gluten-free pastries. And that is exactly what we did. My wife ordered a gluten-free almond croissant ($5.25) and I selected a vegan almond and pear tarte ($6.49). And since it, too, was of course gluten-free, my wife was able to taste some of it as well. Both items were so delicious that, as soon as we finished metaphorically licking our plates, my wife ordered a couple of items to take back to our apartment to enjoy later. This time she selected an eggplant wrap ($11.99) and an almond and chocolate croissant (5.49). She also made plans to return just before our trip back to Savannah, so that she can enjoy some of the delicious items once we are back home. She has pronounced this the best gluten-free bakery she has ever been to. read more

My wife loves this place because it is hands down the best Gluten-Free bakery she has ever encountered. I don't care about gluten, but she does which means I love this place too. The bread is great, soft and fresh... just like real bread but the kicker is the croissants... I swear if you held a taste test between these and their gluten filled counterparts you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. We live most of the year in the US, so we don't get to visit often but whenever we do we are sure to load up. Check out our recent video about it: https://youtu.be/ZAi0cgO3ZPc read more

Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! GF croissants?! Yes, please. The bakery was incredibly clean and had a bit of dine in options. However, if the weather allows it's amazing to take your baked delight and eat it on a bench overlooking the St Lawrence. read more

If you are celiac and craving that amazing crusty crunchy yet soft in the center croissant... IT EXISTS. You know that song "and I would drive hundred 500 miles, and I will drive 500 more". Yeah. That's how I feel about these. Seriously. (Well... I sort of did drive a few hundred miles. Cross a country border, got tested, stayed at a hotel... FOR THIS CROISSANT.) I seriously thought I was dreaming when I had it. In the almond tarts. And the quiche. And the pastries. And the keto hazelnut cakes. I think I seriously died and gone to celiac heaven here. Yes, it does definitely take an effort to get here, but it's so worth it. It was quite hilarious when I cross the border back to the US, and the border patrol asked what I was carrying. "A whole lot of croissants!" Was my reply and he broke out into a smile. A whole ice box full of them later, I'm set for winter! (And totally recommend you do the same, no point in making a drive for one croissant when you can come back with two dozen!) read more

This place is absolutely fantastic. I was traveling with a friend who is gluten free (I am not) and we both thoroughly enjoyed this bakery! Delicious, thoughtful menu. We also had the pleasure of meeting an owner and he was so pleasant to chat with and gave many helpful recommendations for eating gluten free in the cities we were traveling to. Great treats, great owners, great atmosphere- what more could you want?? read more

A wonderfully baked batch of pastries overall. The lack of gluten is unnoticeable and there is no attempt to mask any taste with excessive sugar. Very moist and fluffy - a good option for anyone trying to avoid gluten. read more

We popped in here for pastries our first monring in Montreal. It smelled WONDERFUL. We had yet to get any real Canadian cash so all we had was a bunch of coins given to us from friends who had been to Canada and weren't returning any time soon and credit, but this is cash only place. The gentlemen behind the counter was very patient with us and worked with us and our broken French and his broken English to understand what we could afford with our coins. We wound up with an apple turnover and a strawberry apple pastry. The latter was best but they were both amazing. Apple turnovers are my mom's favorite so I've had many growing up and this was the best one I've ever had. Worth a stop for sure. Side note: We later discovered the is am ATM on this same street just a block or two (walking away from St-Denis) on the left. I forgot to go back for to-go crossiants, and I regret that now. They also have meat and cheese, but we did not buy any. read more

I can't believe Montreal has multiple places to get gluten free croissants and pastries and New York / LOS Angeles still Does NOT have any gluten free croissant and real pastries! Can you please open in nyc!!! Please!!!! I have to come all the way to Montreal to get eclairs and croissant (it's what I miss the most being celiac)! How is the USA not catching on and Montreal a place where gluten free was hardly ever heard of 10yrs ago and is now booming!!! This place is amazing! Also has dairy free options. In my opinion I prefer dairy even tho I'm intolerant to it... I A little on the oily side for me that watches fat intake... but overall, they have everything bread, bagels,muffins, chocolate croissant... the sizes are really good too. Glad that I found this one today! So my top 2bakeries in Montreal are baked to go and this one! Good job guys! Pls come to nyc!!! read more

My partner and I walked by this place completely randomly. But once there we had to check it out: we walked in around 2pm, shared a little pizza there and walked out with a quiche, a financier, an almond croissant and a mini tart! If you have issues with gluten, you are gonna love it here. They have everything you've been missing out on: pizza, quiche, opera, tart, financier, almond croissant... And, what matters most: everything is really tasty compared to all glutenfree baked goods I've tried before. There is limited sitting space though; so perhaps not ideal/kinda risky for a sit-down meal. Would definitely go back, and buy everything again :D also, a big shout-out to the kind lady at the store, who was super kind and patient with my excitement about all the options! read more

Hands down best croissants I've ever had gluten or not! I'm from the US, and will be ordering for delivery to my family in Toronto so I can pick them up when I visit. So so so amazingly good! read more

I almost cried happy tears at finding this place. The desserts were so delicious, gluten free and had vegan options. For people with food allergies and sensitivities, this is a must-visit establishment! read more

Best gluten free I've ever had! Couldn't believe it to be honest. Amandine was amazing.

Went during the summer, staff was incredibly nice and took the time to work with members of our party (who have a lot of food allergies) to find what they could eat. I can't emphasize enough how good the service was! Full lists of ingredients were available upon request. The gluten-free croissant and jam cookies were delicious and well worth the trip! read more

I spent three days in Montreal and went out of my way to visit here twice in that time. As a traveler with Celiac disease, it was such a treat to find delicious pastry that I could eat and not worry about cross contamination or paying extra for something that tastes just okay. I highly recommend the almond croissants but everything was delicious! read more

I had a taste of about 4 or 5 different items from this gluten-free bakery. Everything was delicious. A white chocolate and nut covered cakey pastry, a baguette, potato chips, a chocolate cake, and some other pastry I don't remember. The desserts were amazing. Tasted like a normal fantastic dessert. The chips were... well... chips. And the baguette was pretty good, but not like normal bread. It almost seemed gritty. But for gluten-free, it was good enough. I'd happily go back and get whatever pastries tickled my fancy. read more

Where gluten free dreams come true. I can't believe the selection of beautifully crafted desserts and pastries. Everything we purchased was delicious. The croissants were out of this world and quite possibly the best I've ever had. Everything there was truly excellent and could put most non-gluten free bakeries to shame. Also the neighborhood is super cool and cute. Worth the drive from downtown (or Chicago). read more

I was so beyond happy to find this place and on top of it the pastries were AMAZING!!!! The girl that helped us was so sweet and helpful. Even when her card machine wouldn't take our card she was so apologetic and showed us where to get cash. The eclairs were by far my favorite but the fruit jelly pastries and the tarts were also a hit with my family. Thank you for the wonderful pastries and such a sweet employee. I told a number of my friends that are also gluten free about it and they all loved it. read more

Le Marquis - This tasted just like the "real thing"! - Bakeries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I bought a chocolate pear cake topped with pears. It was delicious. Probably the best gluten free dessert I have tasted in mtl. Only downside, bough the cake at 1pm for an 8pm dinner and at 9:30pm it was still frozen. The pears inside were chunks of ice. The chocolate filling was delightful. For a 30$ small cake it should have been fresh and not frozen. read more

unlucky maybe, but I got a few good looking pastries and one of them really tasted stale... kind of ruined the experience. other items were ok, but nothing flabbergasting to me. i may just and simply need gluten to be satisfied and i am lucky not to be gluten intolerant may try another time to be sure and reassess... maybe read more

Gluten free bakery from HEAVEN! Now I'm not actually 100% gluten intolerant but I do enjoy baked goods of all varieties and every now and then I do a cleanse or give my body a break from all sorts of things. Before it became a gluten free bakery (a few years back) I used to enjoy the little fluffy on the inside crispy on the outside Portuguese rolls they sold for .40 a piece amongst other delights. With a new schmantzy French bakery a few doors over and my lessening of gluten/baked goods intake I walked past Le Marquis many a time without popping in to see their new line of goods. WELL I'm VERY VERY happy that I went in today on a whim. They have a brilliant selection of finely made gluten free baked goods. The baker gave me a sample of the quinoa bread that was absolutely perfect (and recommended by a woman in front of me who was stocking up on almond madeleines, quinoa bread and other GF sundries). The bread contains: Organic quinoa flour, organic flax flour, egg white, a touch of molasses, apple vinegar and a few other ingredients and is absolutely fluffy on the inside with a crispy brown crust on the outside. It may look dense and ultra hippy but I assure you with a little butter, compote or what-have-you = bliss. At $6.95 / loaf (they also have sunflower bread, cranberry bread and millet) it doesn't come "cheap" but is well worth it as it would be difficult to replicate this at home. As I was reeling over the bread sample, the baker fetched me a little sliver of melt-in-your-mouth GF dark chocolate brownie (focus on chocolate - not overly sweet) that was also perfect. At $3.95 it seemed a little steep for a brownie but after sampling it worth every penny. I highly recommend this understated bakery and shop (they carry a line of Gogo Quinoa products amongst many others). They have truly honed their recipes and anyone who only eats GF or wants to try something different should head to Le Marquis. **I just removed a star from my review due to the inconsistency of the chocolate brownie. I have been back 3 times since my initial visit to buy said brownie and they either didn't make any that day or had 'blondies' to sell instead. But it was a great way to discover the gluen-fueled Parisian bakery next door... read more

this place is ridiculous. an absolute paradise for folks who avoid gluten. They have two pastry cases: one is gluten-free/dairy-free, and the other is gluten-free. Then they have baguettes, bagels, sliced bread. And THEN they have prepared foods: sandwiches, pizzas, quiches, cold salads. Oh and as a bonus, they have some grocery items -- all certified gluten-free. Are you craving an eclair? mille-feuille? chocolate mousse cake? key lime pie?? they have every pastry a "normal" french bakery would have. TIP: Go early in the day! Things often sell out - especially the croissants. ESPECIALLY on weekends. The staff tends to be very francophone, but they're so nice and very patient with people whose french is lacking/nonexistent. read more

I had marqued this place to try for my short visit to Montréal. Although not gluten intolerant, I find it better to avoid it for digestive reasons. Coming from the New York area, it is hard to find good gluten free pastries. I tried a croissant and a pain au chocolat. They were very good, but a tad oilier than the regular version. Otherwise, they tasted delicious, were flaky, and had the same appearance as a regular one! I also got some lady fingers in a little cute package. They were tasty, light, and I enjoyed them the next 2 days with tea. Their pastries looked very appetizing and beautiful. I couldn't try any then, but I will be sure to come back during another visit. The staff was very helpful, and the place was very clean. read more

Its fucking good! The wraps, croissants are amazinggg! Go try them and check the open hours on google and not here.

I never get emotional at bakeries...but here I did. As a GF person this is my paradise, luxury and freedom rediscovered. Fab pastries, almond croissants to die for. Exquisite eclairs. Unfortunately I do not live in Montreal but I will be at Le Marquis every time I visit - to stock up on frozen croissants to take home and to indulge in pastries whilst I am there. read more

It's something most people take for granted, eating bread. Oh and it's delicious too. read more

Mmm Nous sommes alles le premier matin en Montreal pour manger un petit chose. Il ya beaucoup de croissants, strudels et pains a choisir. Je suis d'accord avec Dawn, le turnover framboise etait le meilleur. Aaaannnnnd enough of my broken French. It smelled lovely inside and out, and I loved that you can get fresh pastries, breads and meats. The turnovers really were amazing. Bring cash! read more

Well, I hate to give away the secret, but this place is indeed excellent. My girlfriend is gluten intolerant (genuinely so; she swells up like a balloon if she has just a tiny bit), and thankfully enough this bakery nearby has the best looking and tasting gluten-free desserts I've ever tried. They also make nearly identical Gluten-Free / Dairy-Free desserts, but I haven't tried these. Their gluten-free bread is decent, but it is in the desserts that they really excel. The owners are quite nice, and are happy to talk at length about their ingredients and cooking processes, or just in general. read more

What!? THIS PLACE IS AMAZING. Everything is gluten free and tastes like the real Parisian thing. All kinds of French classic baked goods. Lots of it is lactose free. Baked to perfection! As a celiac, I am proud to have Le Marquis in the city. My only regret is that I hadn't heard about it sooner. read more

If you don't eat wheat or gluten you must come check this place out. I am wheat intolerant, and love French pastries. Got the most amazing almond puff pastry item well I was here recently.

Their gluten and lactose-free pastry selection is impressive. With many gluten and lactose intolerant people among my friends and family, I ordered the hazelnut mousse cake for my husband's birthday party. It was SOOOOO good we couldn't believe it was lactose free! Everything we've tried from there so far was great. They even have gluten-free baguette! read more
