What a treat! The hot purse sandwiches were fresh, cheesy and delicious, and the chocolate chip cookies were yummy! The food is gluten-free, yet you don’t feel that you are compromising on taste or texture. The owner is passionate about his products, and very pleasant to chat with. We will certainly be back.
Reviews / Ratings for La Bolo à Lolo Sans Gluten
stumbled upon this place by accident and had both a lovely gluten free sandwich and a lovely conversation with gordy. as a celiac, i could not be more trustful of this place. will be back next time i’m in montreal! :)
1000/10. If you are gluten free and in Montreal, this place is an absolute must and if you are not gluten free. It’s still a must. The food is incredible. Every bite tastes intentional and full of care. The cookies deserve their own review. Soft, rich, and genuinely some of the best gluten free cookies I have ever had (and I take cookies seriously) What really sets this place apart is the owner. He is so kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does. You can feel it the moment you walk in, and it shows in the quality of the food. The only downside is that he did not pack up his shop and move it onto our street where we live in a different province so we could eat here every day. We will absolutely be back next time we visit Montreal!
The sandwich I had was SO good, at very good prices as well! Also the people who own the business are wonderful, kind, and very hospitable!
Wow! What a great little place! Wonderful sandwiches with super nice owner. Tried the philly steak and the Mac and cheese. Highly recommend! Only regret is not finding it sooner!
I know I only took pictures of their ladyfinger desserts, but the real star was their purse sandwiches! I ate it too quickly to photograph. Gordie (what a lovely guy) made them fresh to order, and they were fantastic. If you're looking for a Celiac-friendly lunch restaurant with delicious and unique options, don't miss Bolo à Lolo!
My husband and I are visiting from Nova Scotia. We each got a sandwich - the Philly cheesesteak and the chicken parm - and they were delicious!! Great food for a great price; we'll absolutely be back before we leave! The grocery section is super nice too, lots of high-quality imported products.
Finally popped in here and it’s SO GOOD. Finalement, un spot sans gluten où tout n’est pas nécessairement végane! Lovely owner, genuinely scrumptious comfort food, and all celiac + nut-free. This would be a great spot for parents with children managing intolerances or people newly exploring gf food. Tried the lasagna sandwich and it was gone within a block. J’ai hate d’essayer les surgelés!
Second time in Montreal and decided to come by after seeing the great reviews - 100% worth it! I got the philly and mac & cheese sandwiches; both were delicious and made fresh (and for $6 each, very affordable!). Not sure when I'll be in Montreal again, but when I get the chance to, will be coming back for more!
Don’t come here because it’s gluten-free, come here because the food is delicious, because it’s an independent shop, fighting the good fight and still offering you an insanely good deal and - above all - because the staff are super friendly. I stopped in for two sandwiches and an espresso, all of which were frickin’ amazing and left a little over an hour later having had a wide-ranging, heart-warming conversation with Gordy, the owner. He’s doing what he does out of a passion for good food and his community. Come for the food, stay for the passion.
