There are two nut-free bakeries in Quebec, one of which is also egg-free, so that will be fun. When we visited Toronto a couple of years ago, we bought the Quaker chewy granola bars because I thought they were safe in Canada. I take it this has changed? My son will be disappointed, but we'll look for the other brands you mentioned.
Anyone else from Quebec with tips for us as far as nut-free grocery brands or restaurants in either Montreal or Quebec City? Thanks!
There's a pizza restaurant in the Petit Quartier Champlain in the Place Royale that was safe for us when we went a couple of years ago. My daughter has peanut, tree nut and egg allergies. We stayed at a hotel without a kitchen right off the Rue St. Jean (and conveniently located across the street from the hospital). We usually had breakfast from McDonald's (oatmeal). We had dinner one night at an Irish pub (our waitress had a peanut allergy). We ate one night at Chez Ashton; it's fast food (roast beef sandwiches and poutine).
In Montreal, we ate safely at Schwartz's, which has wonderful smoked meat. We ate at Hubert's chicken (I think; it's another chain) and the grabbed a pizza one night close to our hotel. Our room had a mini fridge, so we just had yogurt and cereal in the room for breakfast.
We really wasted our dining experiences there. I should have done more research beforehand.
