Real talk, if you're intolerant to gluten, it might be kind of hard to find legit desserts. A good sweet is hard to find, even if you're not excluding gluten, so adding an extra complication to the matter just seems unfair.
Unless you live in Montreal, that is. We've got a bunch of seriously tasty desserts, all of which happen to be totally free of gluten, and totally available right in the city.
1. Patisserie Petit Lapin's Cupcakes

2. Cookie Stefanie's Ice Cream Sandwich

Although Sophie Sucrée isn't completely gluten-free, this vegan bakery does have an incredibly solid gluten-free selection. One of their tastiest gluten-free options? Their caramel and hazelnut "cheesecake", creamy, sweet, and oh-so delightful.

This vegetarian Plateau restaurant seriously has all the fixings of one awesome eatery. Fresh and tasty food, a warm and welcoming ambiance, and all the gluten-free desserts your heart could possibly desire. My personal fave is their pineapple raspberry cheesecake, but they've got some seriously unique offerings, too, like their ginger creme brulee.

Some macarons are made with gluten, which can put a serious damper on the world's greatest cookie. But at Le Point G, which also serves up some seriously tasty gluten-free meals, this is not the case. All of their macarons are made without gluten, and have a crisp and tasty exterior, with a creamy, sweet, and flavorful filling.
