There's a common misconception among gluten eaters that gluten-free food tastes weird and has no flavour. As a gluten eater myself, I'm here to tell you that that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, some of Montreal's best gluten-free restaurants and bakeries are even better than their non-gluten-free counterparts. From desserts to pizza and even alcohol, there are gluten-free equivalents to almost everything you can eat. And honestly, most of us probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
