Boulangerie Le Marquis

It was toasty warm in here but the croissant was heaven I almost didn’t notice my sweat 😅 I wanted to get one of everything! The croissant was so good I had to go back and get another. Best gluten free I’ve ever had.

When it comes to gluten free pastries, I’ve not seen a single bakery that comes close to what you can get at Boulangerie Le Marquis. I live in Ottawa but always come here when I’m in Montreal. I’ve had a lot of the tarts, but the Pain Chocolate and Croissants (both gluten free) are certainly the best. The dough is actually laminated, the way you’d expect a croissant to be. So many gluten free bakeries have let me down on that front but this is not one of them! You can buy them fresh or frozen. They store well in the freezer for up to a few months and are easy to reheat. Pictures attached are the pain chocolats reheated in the oven with an egg wash.

Great vegan tartes; they have hazelnut, pear/pistachio, apple and I believe their last vegan option is raspberry. The cafe only has two seats to dine in and I only saw bubble tea drinks but they may have other beverages. All of their desserts are gluten free but don't worry, everything is delicious and fresh.

A fine selection of gluten free breads, pastries and desserts. The quinoa bread we took home is superior to most gluten free breads we’ve tried. The pastries here give gluten free folks the opportunity to have the montreal “Chocolatine” experience.

The croissant was the best I've had in my entire life and now I can't enjoy the croissant options in gluten free bakery's in my home city Calgary Alberta. Please open one here 😭😭 I'm ruined now because it's not even worth it to eat croissants in Calgary once you've had such a high quality one from Marquis!

AMAZING GLUTEN FREE DELIGHTS. Got myself a big bag of GF croissants 🥐 to take home. And the desserts are so so beautiful and yummy. Go feel in heaven at this place if you’re gluten free or have celiac. It’s a dedicated GF facility

Love a gluten free bakery, and this one is no exception. It's tough seeing the pasteries around Montreal and not being able to partake, but this helped us feel included. We ordered delicious empanada, which we ate right away (served warm), and then we also got croissants to go, both sweet ones and giant savory sandwiches we could take with us. Definitely recommend visiting here if you are celiac or gluten free.

My favourite gluten free bakery I have ever been to! I’ve been all over downtown looking for good ones and this is my favourite spot. The people are lovely and food is incredible. My dad and I are celiac and have never tried a croissant as good as that one! The sandwich’s are also our fav

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.

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??

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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!)

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!

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!!!

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

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).

So kind and helpful and friendly! Amazing gluten free pastries! Glad it wasn't too good to be true, it was perfect.

If you are in Montreal and are gluten free. STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND COME HERE! Hey have an amazing lunch special and great staff. Not super expensive like some gluten-free bakeries in Montreal.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

This place is an all GLUTEN FREE bakery that includes bread. Like REAL bread! Baguettes, light and fluffy multigrain bread for sandwiches, bagels... All gluten free! They also have sweets such as eclaires, muffins, palmiers, cookies, pastries, oh and croissants. I was so happy to find this place, I cried tears of joy. It's something most people take for granted, eating bread. Oh and it's delicious too.

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. It was still warm from the oven. If you used to love puff pastry and have missed it for ages I would highly recommend coming here and ordering anything that is fresh. :)

Gluten free bakery. No bad feelings with indulging. I had the pecan tart & half an eclair. My husband had the chocolate rocher and the other half of the eclair. Heaven. It's not chalky, or gritty, the tart crust was heavy but so rich. You guys need to ship to the states!

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!

I seek out gluten free treats in every city I visit. This was my first time at a completely gluten free bakery that made fresh croissants, baguettes, opera cakes and more. The croissant was delicious as was the blueberry tart: the chocolate muffin not so much. They had a great assortment of quiches and other prepared foods that I didn't get to try but I'll be back in a few months and will definitely make a stop again.

I have never been here but my boyfriend who is very thoughtful stops to get GF deserts here for me. They are great even if you don't have issues with gluten.

My husband and I visited Montreal in November for my birthday and he ordered a gluten free/dairy free chocolate mousse cake from Le Marquis. We both agreed that this was one of THE BEST cakes we've ever had (yes, this includes cakes in the Non-GF/dairy free category as well). The cake was beautifully designed as well and reasonably priced. The staff was super friendly too and very helpful. I would highly recommend this bakery to anyone staying in Montreal. Your mouth will have a hard time believing that gluten free/dairy free cake could taste so heavenly...let's just say, "we told you so."

Wowie! Croissants, eclairs, baguettes, and everything else you might want! I loved this place and had such trouble deciding what to get. Quite possibly the best GF croissant I've ever had. Makes me want to move to Montreal!

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.

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...

I have been diagnosed gluten intolerant over 5 years ago and as a real foodie it's been really hard. I am always on a quest to find replacements for life's guilty pleasures that are now almost always out of reach... Until now fellow yelpers, this place is a real GEM! I am from miami have gotten to the best bakeries in NYC and LA and I do know a "good" gluten free dessert BUT this place really exceeded ALL of my expectations. From the friendliness of the staff and the warmth of the passionate owner Nizan available to offer great advice and knowledge on his products. I can state that this man does not cut corners when it comes to quality ingredients and you can taste it in every bite. Forget cheap potato starch and high sugars which are found in most gf items... At Le Marquis we are talking lentil, sorghum and brown rice flours only to mention a few. We got a wide selection of goodies (because hello when do you actually find places like these that are 100% gluten free and half dairy free?!?) and here is my feedback: My cake selection was the opera, double chocolate, praline and blueberry. All had that moist and light texture that you would expect from these cakes regularly and we're not too sweet. The eclairs and "chouquettes" were by far some of my favorites because that dough was like a real eclair. Literally. Heaven. I also had some of the pecan and lemon pies which were also the perfect texture. I keep on mentioning texture because I am sure gluten intolerant people appreciate that its the trickiest part to achieve in a good baked product you actually want to eat! I have to give this place five stars because I loved everything I tried. They also offer croissants, breads, muffins and some items to satisfy your salty tooth like pizza and chicken stuffed pastries. I am going to have to go back to get and taste more of his items. And don't be fooled people this place always sells out very quickly! I was there at noon and no more mille feuille's already...

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.

Normally I am not a person that posts reviews but this is by far the best gluten free bakery I have ever been to and I have been to the "best" in NY and TX and this by far surpasses it. It is so good I am still waiting to get sick because I don't know how gluten free could be so good. Can't wait to go back tomorrow morning! :) My best advice is to bring lots of cash as they do not take American debit cards or did not when I went a few years back!

This place is absolutely incredible and is worth the trip! We've been twice, and both times we were just as delighted! It's so hard to find GF, authentic, French pastries that aren't some prepackaged, commercially distributed products! Of course they are not the same as gluten-full pastries but they sure come close! We went on a Tuesday and they did not have many savory items like they sometimes do... only an extensive display case of quiches! The sweet pastry cases were filled with gluten AND dairy free products like eclairs, napoleons, mousses, tarts, pain au chocolates, danishes! They also have frozen items to take home! A couple things to note are that they ran out of the croissants before noon so we are going back tomorrow to get some early! Also, not sure if they accept cards (the first time we went, a couple of years ago they did not) and we saw everybody in the shop pay with cash this time as well! This is hands down the most authentic place to go if you need to eat gluten/dairy free!

This was the highlight of my trip to Montreal and that says a lot because I love this city!! If you're Glutenfree or not...the pastries are amazing. I have celiac and I own a gluten free bakery in my own city and I was extremely impressed with the flakiness of the croissants and the texture and taste of the pastries! My favorite was the almond croissant!

Hands down the best gluten free bakery I've been to. 100% worth the uber, the price, and the calories!! Got to try some croissant, muffin, madeline, tart, eclaire, cake, and pie--everything was delicious. Not sure if it gets any better than this place..

We were so excited to find you. Our seven year old was in heaven! She got a buchette and a chocolate croissant. I loved the croissants-the real deal!

Cute little place. I had brunch here with the family and we didn't wait long before being seated. We had to split the group into 4 and 2 because they didn't have a table for 6. No problem though. Unfortunately for me all the pastries were made with butter. I ordered the club sandwich and was pleasantly surprised that they made their own mayo (so I was able to eat it.) I made sure to check several times with our waitress and server that the food was dairy free.

You probably won't find a better gluten free patisserie, they do croissants, eclairs, you name it, all gluten free and many milk free as well. The breads are pretty good too but the pastries are the reason to come. Definitely a good stop for wheat sensitive people.

Don't think about gluten or a lack of gluten when you visit. This is the real deal. The baked goods are phenomenal and the staff was just wonderful. My wife said she could never move to that neighborhood because she would go to Boulangerie le Marquis every day for an eclair.
