If you are in the market for gluten free, this bakery takes the cake. It doesn't really hold a candle (or at least not a bright one) compared to gluten full baking, but if you are someone who can't do the good stuff this place will hit the spot. The Mille-feuille was my favorite, very tasty but firmer than I'm use to. The opera cake was alright. The almond croissant was dry. I had just had a "real" one the other day and this just didn't compare. For me it's just average, but for someone who cant have gluten... she says it amazing. read more

oh my goodness!!!! I wish le Marquis could be in every city. As someone who's gluten free, I almost never get croissants - they're a rare find! While I was in Montreal, I frequented this shop almost every day, getting their almond croissant, regular croissant, and chocolate croissant. I tried several of their desserts as well. If you are gluten free or gluten sensitive, this IS a must-have, and if you have extra space, bring home some frozen croissants! read more

Checked out Le Marquis Sans Gluten on an early Friday morning. They have two other locations in town (Boisbriand and Castelnau). Everything in their shop is gluten free; croissants, tarts, cake slices, madelines, crepes and croissant sandwiches. Tried a croissant ($3.99), croissant chocolat ($4.75) and amandine ($5.25). Texture is slightly dry but portion size is larger than the typical GF offerings. read more

I really loved everything i got here, everything seemed freshly baked with soft texture which I really enjoyed, only thing that bothered me was that a particular piece of bread seemed stale, other than that i enjoyed it. read more

Traveling with my friend who has celiac so we had to stop at this gluten free bakery. Everything we had was awesome, the croissant was flakey and buttery. I would definitely recommend the food for someone looking for a gluten free spot. The atmosphere inside is kinda cold so maybe not the best vibes to sit and enjoy. read more

Stop order ahead right now and thank me later. Most likely they won't run out but why chance it. You know how hard it is to find great gluten free food or you wouldn't be reading my review right now. If you are looking for gluten free food and tired of staring at your friends disgustingly good looking cafe food full of gluten this place is for you. Croissants with almonds looked delicious but unfortunately as we got there late in the day the last were being sold. It was a busy holiday weekend so we understood but there was more to choose from and they are wanting to make sure you get the freshest food for you. read more

Having just visited Montreal for the first time, my experiences at Le Marquis stand out as definite highlights. I am gluten free and my partner is not; he was quite reluctant to order at this cafe but acquiesced. I tried their savory crepes which were beyond delicious (spinach, egg and cheese, and turkey, egg and cheese); such amazing flavor and texture; I could not tell it was gluten-free. He had an omelet on a croissant, and he loved it! He raved about it so much, impressed that something gluten free could be so tasty, and even asked to return twice more for breakfast during our stay (which we did). They also displayed several items in a freezer case, which I took advantage of and bought a large amount to bring home; croissants, both plain and chocolate, waffles, and blueberry muffins. Sabeur served us on our first and second visits with much charm and humor, convincing my partner it was safe to eat there, guaranteeing he would enjoy it. Many thanks to Sabeur for easing him into the experience and making it even more pleasurable. It was such a relief to find a gluten free cafe where the food actually tasted "normal", or I would say, even more delicious than "normal". As others have said, EVERYTHING in the cafe is gluten free, so no stress, worries or effort trying to read labels and determine what is safe to eat. All in all a wonderful find! Even at home I have not found gluten free crepes or croissants; I wish they had a website you could order from and have items shipped!! I would definitely be a frequent customer. The only other suggestion I have would be to warm up the ambience a bit with some design and decor; the space is somewhat utilitarian and bare bones. The food was so delicious though, I almost didn't mind, and I am someone who is always attuned to and affected by the feeling of my environment. read more

I went with my friend who owned a regular bakery for 10 years, she humored me as I have the dietary allergies. Even she said the croissants were extremely good, she couldn't tell that they were gluten and dairy free. If that isn't a stamp of approval, I don't know what is. Service was awesome, the guy that owns this place is so friendly and hospitable. The shop itself is cute. Would definitely make this a stop on your list even if you have to go out of the way if you are gluten and/or dairy free! read more

The Croissants here are worth 5 Stars (or more) - they are hands down THE BEST Gluten Free Croissants I have ever had. My partner who is not GF could not even tell they were GF! We got there on a Wednesday shortly after opening and were told that the oven was broken so croissants from another location were being brought over and it would be ~30 mins, this ended up taking over 1.5 hours. During our wait the staff were super nice and brought us coffee and a small slice of GF cake for the inconvenience. Once the croissants arrived, hand delivered by the owner, he was super friendly and talked to us about the croissants and how hard it was to make a good GF version. He even let me try a small new flavor test croissant! I had the almond croissant which was full of amazing flavor. The next day we went back (since it was that good) and I had the chocolate croissant which was good, but really not as good as the almond - this croissant I still think about. The storefront is a normal modern bakery, but what really makes the atmosphere here was the staff member who was working both days we went - he was SUPER positive, friendly, and outgoing chatting with each patron individually asking who was GF, how long they had been GF, etc. The other thing that makes this place great is the energy in the store from the guests as folks would come in and exclaim "I have not had a GF croissant in 20 years!" or things like "it has been a decade since I had a pastry due to being GF!" and this happiness brought so many good vibes to the space. Overall, I wish I lived in Montreal so I could eat these croissants all the time - they truly are amazing and something I still think about! If you are in town and gluten free PLEASE visit! You will not regret it! 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

For such a prime location in the Old Montreal, I was expecting much more. Their chai latte, which is listed under their specialties, was pretty average. Crepes are good but everything feels overpriced. The place could be so much nicer given the beautiful location they're in. Disappointed. read more

Best gluten-free bakery I've ever been to. It is truly outstanding from the service to, the location and the unlimited options. You really do not have to think about any celiac issues. The whole bakery is celiac friendly!! I want to move to Montreal just so I can stay close by to this place. Every time I visit Montreal, I make sure to visit Le Marquis at least three times. The owner and all the employees are always so friendly and actually remembered me from last year. Truly truly the best place for Gluten Free & Celiac. The atmosphere is so cute and welcoming. I highly recommend you go here even if you are not gluten-free. It is so high class decadent, gorgeous pastries. read more

We stopped in every single day of our trip to Montreal and were blown away by the selection and service. It was so nice to have a dedicated gluten free menu and not have to worry when deciding what to eat. The peace of mind it gave those of us in our group who are gluten free was so nice. Everything was fantastic! read more

I had a croissant sandwich that was delicious! The croissant was buttery and flaky. Definitely the best I have found.

We loved this place. 100% Gluten Free restaurant. They just started making crepes and they were perfect. Maybe even better than most. They were super friendly. A ton of items that usually you can't eat if you're gluten sensitive. Tables by the window so you can watch the people go by. We will be back to enjoy. read more

Amazing gluten free bakery - the gluten free savory crepes were delicious. The gluten free croissant was excellent with the correct flakiness and lightness but Le Marquis delivered on all fronts. I'm so pleased to have discovered this bakery - I will be back. And the service was great. read more

Great gluten free options but I don't understand why the staff leaves the croissants uncovered. Multiple FLIES were sitting on the food and made us not want to eat them. When you tell them about the flies they are surprised.... If food was covered I would come more often. read more

Went here every single day of our stay in Montreal. Loved it! The pastries were amazing - all GF - but IMO you'd never know it. The coffee was lovely. The savory food was so tasty, too. Loved the chicken and rice (no dairy in that one). Friendly staff. Can't wait to go back. read more

15/5 ! First croissants my son ate since his celiac disease diagnosis, 3 years ago. We tried the chocolate, almond, and almond-chocolate. All stellar...flaky buttery goodness. We also tried 2 types of cookies which were also yummy. Our only regret: not buying more to take home! read more

Extremely helpful staff with food so good you wouldn't know it was gluten free. If you are GF, this is a must hit.

Delicious chocolate pastries gluten free if this is important to you It is near the port

My son has celiac so finding great gluten free places when we are on vacation is always a challenge. Stopped in Le Marqis today in Old Montréal while on vacation. The staff was super helpful and very friendly. We had there gluten free crepes and croissants and they were absolutely delicious! I always have low expectations for gluten free baked goods but even the croissants were unexpectedly flaky and delicious! Non celiac members of my family loved them too. Highly recommend! We'll definitely be back! read more

OMG! Workout hard before you come here, VERY HARD! Thank goodness I don't live anywhere nearby. They have the most unique selection of gluten-free baked goods I've ever seen. I saw bagels multiple types of croissant, eclairs, tarts, etc. Sampled a few items while I was in the area for almost a week. The blueberry eclair was delicious. I enjoyed the bagels, since knowing that making a little over a dozen edible gluten-free bagels takes me about 5 hours in the kitchen. However when I went back the last day in town wanting to take some home I learned that they don't make them and they are delivered from somewhere else. I ended up having the grab some out of the freezer which were not nearly as good as the ones that I had purchased fresh several days prior. read more

Le Marquis - Everything is gluten free and vegan!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

So so happy to have found this place!!!!! It has been 10+ years since I have had a true French pastry! I used to be a pastry Chef and had to leave my beloved industry as my gluten allergies made it impossible to work or eat anything with gluten. I was thrilled to come across this gem of a shop! Firstly, it is beautiful and very clean. There was a really great selection and I went a little nuts. I ordered about $53 worth of pastries and desserts and ran away with them in a gleeful gluten free haze of pure joy. I stayed long enough to have a lovely London fog tea with half a croissant and an almondine. Both were yum but the almond croissant was boomtastic! Flaky, tasty, rich, tasty goodness. I will be buying more of those ASAP. I got éclairs in 3 flavs, pate à chou was on point but I did not like the blueberry or raspberry-loved the chocolate one. I will say, I believe this is more of an I dislike pastry cream thing so I am not the best judge of smooshy pastry inards. I found the raspberry had stronger and better flavour than the blueberry, which was bland and underwhelming. Chocolate was smooth and ever so pleasant. Dessert was a choco noisette tart and mousse-both rich, decadent and divine! Had a lemon meringue tart and behold!!!! It was a true French lemon curd with that delightful pate sucrée she'll I adore. My son ate almost all of it with us fighting for the last rod bits of lemony sweetness. He loved the chocolatines I am more of an almond croissant fan. The only thing we found was that the croissant needed to be warmed a bit to bring back the fluffiness and it tasted more eggie than the chocolate or almond one. Still good but as I said, you want ze almond croissant in your life. I will go again and do some more savoury treats next time but this is a cocoa nib of gluten-free love! God bless this owner for all the hard work he and his crew put in, it is very much appreciated! Good and friendly service as well read more

I was really excited to find this place prior to visiting Montreal. I found it on the gluten free app and read reviews. Sadly, on all 3 days (with 3 attempts on one of the days!)... only ONE time could I get a croissant. The place seems reallllly empty. Just left now after one final attempt to get one before I headed back to US, and they did have a chocolate Almond one (which just wasn't what I wanted) as well as some other sort of dessert in the glass, but they didn't have any sort of alternative milk (only regular dairy milk) in order to order matcha or coffee. Idk. Your experience may be different, but I was surprised that over a span of 6 days visiting Montreal and trying to continuously check this place out, it just looked empty (all the other shelves were also). Maybe it's more active in the summertime?? The croissant I did get on one of the days was very good though. Dense and chewy and moist. Loved it. Hope they find a way to start actually baking more of them and not being empty every day. read more

Why in the world was this location closed at 6:25pm on a Friday evening. Please explain!!!

i am 10 years gluten free and a foodie. this was the best array of GF pastry i've ever known. by leaps and bounds. i will be back in the morning to get croissants - they were understandably sold out at the late hour i arrived. they have a loaded take-out freezer with 3 croissant varieties; having so many flaky layers that i was dizzy just looking. i must try them fresh, so i give up an hours sleep to add this to my morning travel! read more

Found our way to this super cute and delicious vegan pastry shop in the heart of Old Town Montreal. We met Brenda and she was so friendly! Great personality and was so fun to chat with. She spent the time sharing each of the items in the counter. She had some samples for us to try so we ended up with some of the eclairs and drinks. Delicious! When asked about places around Montreal, she gave us a list of all the great restos and must see places in Montreal. read more
