This place is now 100 percent gluten free. I confirmed Celiac safe with the server. No gluten in entire restaurant and they are cautious with product sources. To top it all off, they make their own honey on their rooftop. My husband and I were so excited to discover this lovely restaurant. The staff is also amazing. Support this restaurant, we need places like this to stay open and thrive. Mahalo and Merci Bistro Hortus!
Everything was just perfect! I have celiac and it was a dream to be able to order almost anything on the menu because they are able to adjust these options to be gluten free and have a knowledgeable server! Chez-Boulay is now our must visit spots when we come to Quebec City.
amazing, some of the best food we had in quebec. they have an entire separate gluten free menu, I felt really safe as a celiac. still dreaming about the cassoulet and creme brulee! service was also great, super friendly and knowledgeable.
Delicious meal with gluten-free, dairy-free (vegan, therefore lactose-free) options suitable for special diets.
One of the best affordable, healthy, and tasty meals we've had in a restaurant since having to deal with dietary restrictions! 😍 The best gluten-free falafels we've ever had!! And the pesto sauce is INCREDIBLE 🤤 The falafel platter is definitely worth it, the warm salads are delicious and pair perfectly with the falafels!
The service was impeccable: the employees are courteous, smiling, friendly, and efficient. They were able to quickly answer our questions about ingredients and took the time to confirm known allergens in their products to confirm whether a substitution was suitable. 👌
For parents on vacation looking for a fast, healthy, and simplified dining option for dietary restrictions: this restaurant is a gem!
Our thanks to the owner for running such a great restaurant; you made a huge difference in our vacation experience 🙏
We would love to see a Colibri again in the Eastern Townships 🤞😁

The experience starts with a small crowded entrance space where you are supposed to wait until someone comes to seat you. Once finally seated, you'll wait for your simple order (crepes) for 40 minutes. Neither espresso nor hot chocolate are good, crepes are dry and tasteless. We only came here because they offer gluten free crepes and it was a big disappointment and a waste of time.
Our server, Guillaume L., was incredible. He was truly friendly and attentive. Gluten-free orders were handled with care and tact. We were completely satisfied throughout.
Strong point: Gluten-free pizza crust is available.
Slight weakness: The service was like "hurry up, we have other people to seat at your table," and there was no feedback if the food was to the table's liking. We were a small group of seven, and we felt like we were in the way, even though we had a reservation in advance.

The view is magnificent. We were warmly welcomed and informed about the dishes. Everything is gluten-free, or almost everything. They are very careful about contamination. A restaurant that understood that it was so much simpler to have an allergen-free menu.
Recommend getting there between 5-6pm for outdoor seating. Lovely ambiance. Burgers were great. My wife’s gluten free bun did not fall apart which is a win for her.
We both got the Quebec burger with a salad and would highly recommend!
Homemade sodas, poutine, burgers and milkshakes. Top quality classics! I would definitely go back! Gluten-free bread available for burgers (but I didn't taste it) quick service outside the tourist season, as it can fill up quickly during meal times in summer!
I'm a big fan of La Buchette. Our second time here and the first place we thought to book on a recent visit. The food is tasty and filling (breakfast menu) and there's no hassle substituting gluten free options for my girlfriend. Very enjoyable.
We loved everything that we drank and ate! I have celiac and they accommodated me by altering a meal to make it gluten free. It was wonderful. Service was a little slow but acceptable. A wonderful spot in Quebec City.
As soon as we walked up to the restaurant I had a feeling it was going to be a special night--there is something welcoming and cozy l about the restaurant that is difficult to describe (but I will do my best). The host was friendly and the service was excellent. The four-course dinner was incredible. I have an issue with gluten and it was not a problem--they were able to accommodate me without incident. We began with oysters and they were delicious. And my friend and I both went with the non-vegetarian option for the tasting menu. We were in great hands--the meal was excellent and the timing of the courses was perfect. Good portions and creative dishes. We loved every bite.
I'm completely crazy about your poutines and ice cream. Being celiac, I have dietary restrictions so unfortunately I cannot try anything else on your menu. Plus, I love the atmosphere and the cleanliness of the place.
One word: extraordinary!!!
From the welcome to the detailed explanations of the menu to the service and of course the quality of the presentation of the meal which was succulent. First and certainly not the last experience of this exceptional restaurant. Exceptional mention to the chef and his team for his attention regarding a gluten allergy (celiac) and for Robert, our server who made sure that EVERYTHING was magnificent. Thank you, I recommend without any hesitation!
Tapas style lunch menu was great. Service was great. I am gluten free and unable to consume cows milk, yet somehow I had access to most of the menu with no modifications.
WOW!! Everything was perfect, the welcome, the service, and what about the food! Safe for celiac (gluten free), server and chef very knowledgeable about the disease.
In the photos: lobster bisque, pan-fried scallops, pineapple rum crème brûlée.
Beautiful space, great service, awesome breakfast buffet and cool cocktails!
The one thing I wish they did was label their breakfast buffet for the different dietary restrictions so that you don’t have to ask the server who has to ask the kitchen all the time and to have more options for Dairy free or Gluten free.
Excellent lunch place (and more). I loved my brunch. Lots of great options on the menu. Ideal for groups, large room capacity. Friendly service. Outdoor terrace in summer. Gluten-free options.
Very current for a medieval name. Warm atmosphere, excellent original lunches (brioche with caramel sauce au gratin) and gluten-free lunch available. Excellent coffee (nothing like commercial coffee).
We visited Quebec for the first. Of all the places we visited in Quebec this was our least favorite. On June 27 we were served by a very rude waiter that rolled his eyes at us all evening after we were indecisive about the 1/2 bottle of wine that 2 of us were sharing. Then I very carefully explained that I have Celiac disease and verified which items would be safe for me to consume. According to his recommendation I ordered the Veal Susucaru and suffered all night and even the next morning vomiting, etc. SO BEWARE ANY CELIACS, this is not a safe place to eat. I do understand that this is not a gluten free establishment but if a waiter is unsure or doesn't take allergies seriously he should not be working as a server here. He was very scarce at our table all evening. When he did appear at our table he just stood there and waited for us to speak. He never asked how the food or wine was. The 3 other people I was here with enjoyed their food and drinks so I will give 2 stars for that.
I do not recommend.
J’adore ce resto 🫶. Il y a toujours des options succulentes sans gluten et sans produits laitiers. Les vins sont sublimes et le service accueillant, bienveillant avec une touche d’authenticité qui nous donne le goût d’y retourner encore et encore 🙏😇.
Never go to this restaurant if you have any allergies!
We stopped at this place yesterday and I said can you do gluten free as I am a celiac. The waiter said no problem we have gluten free bread. So I ordered a sandwich that came with a salad and vegetables.
The meal came out 10 minutes later with the salad covered in bread croutons. I said I can’t eat that it has bread croutons on it.
He took it back and said sorry I will take care of it.
He brought me another that appeared to have no croutons on it and said I replaced the dish with new food.
When I was eating the vegetables I noted something very crunchy and looked underneath them and noticed croutons.
I asked to speak to the manager and the waiter started to tell me it was my fault that I could not eat a couple croutons and was yelling at me.
Never go there. Horrible service and no care for any allergies. They blame the customer for their mistakes.
Really bad! Churros are outrageously expensive. They were dry and tasteless, and we watched them put pre-cooked churros into a toaster lol. Even if we didn’t see it, they certainly tasted reheated. On top of that, the service was abysmal, took us 20 minutes of standing in line while the one person working swept the floor. Anyway, don’t go here if you want a nice treat. Also 0 gluten free options no matter what people might say.
Diverse menu for all meals and in addition homemade recipes. It is delicious ! I'm celiac and Shania told me
well assisted in my choice to eat “gluten-free”. They are very welcoming. Thanks to Shania and Luc.
Very nice café with super friendly service staff who speak English and French. I had the fried calamari (gluten free) and they were excellent. Particularly recommended is a spot on the back terrace
My wife and I were lucky enough to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary here last night! After 5 nights in Quebec, my wife and I both agreed this was our favorite dinner of the entire trip! Laurie, our server, was incredibly attentive and made us feel like royalty. We went with the ribeye and the pork belly/octopus, some of our favorite go-to orders whenever we go out for a nice dinner. Ophelia did not disappoint and delivered x1000! And for dessert, understanding my wife was Gluten Free, Laurie and the staff at Ophelia were thoughtful enough to keep her gluten sensitivity in mind and surprised us with an awesome sorbet to cap off the night. We cant say enough about the food, the service, and the atmosphere. Highly recommend this place if you’re
Looking for a special dinner in Quebec!!
It's a very nice discovery that I made with Tuango .... Very beautiful restaurant with a very nice atmosphere, impeccable service with our waitress Roxanne, everything was excellent, I had the port and tiramisu combo .... The eggs melted in the mouth, what can I say about the salad .... They listened to my dietary restrictions and made my plate accordingly, plus they have gluten-free bread and what can I say about the tiramisu crepe, a caress in the mouth, it's wow wow .... I recommend this restaurant 10/5 .... I will come back for sure. Thank you Roxanne for listening and your excellent service ❤️
