With two locations, one in the Plateau and one near Concordia, Crudessence is a great go to for a healthy gluten-free meal or veggie juice. While I am not always in the mood for raw food, Crudessence has a great menu that is 100% gluten-free and all the desserts I have tried have been amazing (actually amazing- vegan or not).
My go to for lunch is the Exceptional wrap with chipotle quinoa wrapped in a nori and a rice sheet with avocado, lettuce, sprouts, red pepper, carrot and onion. To go with my wrap I ordered the Vert-dur juice with kale, parsley, fennel, apple, celery, lemon and ginger.
My other go to is the Lasagna with layers of sliced zucchini, fresh basil, sun dried tomato sauce and macadamia ricotta, served with caesar salad.
This restaurant is not for everyone, but almost everyone. If you don’t like things that taste “too healthy” this might not be the place for you. But if you are open to new things I would definitely try it and make sure to order the brownie with “ice cream” for dessert!
They also sell their own products, offer delivery and host cooking classes.

The GF BFF 
Hello, I am trying to find out more about Crudessence restaurant in Quebec and Montreal since we are going there with our celiac daughter. I contacted them through Facebook and they responded that they don’t guarantee that the food is gf. Did they change their policy or they don’t want to take responsibility? Did you eat there recently? Can you still recommend them?
Thank you very much.
Hi Marina,
I only saw this message now. I will check next time I visit, they have always told me everything was gluten-free. I have always felt safe eating there but this is concerning. I will look into it.
