I was hesitant to try this place because I'm English and my french is terrible at best, however, the waiter spoke English with me. I didn't ask him to but there is no hiding how terrible my french is and I did appreciate it even though I was prepared to power through. I've had some bad experiences in restaurants in Quebec but this guy was kind and didn't make me feel stupid for trying.
I was also nervous because I'm a newly diagnosed celiac and hate feeling like I'm being a bother about my food,however, i get so sick if I eat wrong that I truly cant risk it. I have had many bad experiences eating out as a celiac, either with hidden gluten in my food or snotty waiters who clearly think I'm lying. This place was not like that at all. This place was higly rated as celiac friendly and boy are they ever! They have a special section in their main menu for gluten free options. The waiter was very kind and took me seriously. They changed out the cutlery and use different everything for celiacs to avoid cross contamination. I was immediately put at ease. Between myself and my two kids we all had different dishes and we all loved what we had. The gluten free garlic bread was so incredibly good i wish I had more! If I'm ever in the area again this place would be on my must visit list for any meal.
An excellent place for people with celiac disease! I was able to enjoy a completely gluten-free meal, carefully and safely prepared. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive to my dietary needs, allowing me to eat with confidence. I was accompanied by two people who chose dishes from the "regular" menu and also enjoyed themselves. Everything was delicious.
The only downside: it was really cold in the restaurant... Too bad, because everything else was perfect!
We are still sitting in the restaurant so that the excellence is fresh when I write this. It was excellent in every way.
We came on Thursday for my birthday having never done raclette. They have a special $10 off the big raclette meal on that day so, bonus! Anyway, we ordered that. It has a selection of meats, pickled onions and pickles, potatoes, and bread. We also got an additional side of broccoli, apples and grapes. Of course, the ¼ wheel of cheese too.
They gave us great explanations of how it works, made great suggestions and were superb about both the gluten and shellfish allergies at our table. The gluten free bread, which was actually really good for GF, was an extra couple of bucks. I feel like I'm not sufficiently selling how good the cheese was. It's freaking delicious.
Our server, Krystel, was so great. Fully bilingual and so accommodating about everything. The price tag is high but it's well worth it for the experience and the good vibes.
See you on the road!

I find that the menu could offer rice noodles as an alternative for gluten-free folks (at a small additional cost). It's really no more complicated for you and it would expand the meal options for these people. And could bring you new customers...
Constructive note: the menu should be reworked to be much more readable. I was not the only one in my table of 8 people who had difficulty reading the description of the chosen meal, which is written in VERY pale white on a completely black background. Let's say that black writing on a white background would have been MUCH more readable. In addition, in the evening, the light is more subdued. I gave it a 2 for the atmosphere because of that. When you have to photograph part of the menu to be able to read it, your meal is off to a bad start.
I returned in February 2024. Very good service, and even a warm welcome from a friendly (and very chic!) host. The food overall was good (there were 8 of us) but the steak was just rubbish so I don't recommend it.
We were a group of 6, on a Tuesday evening so not too many people. I had a plate of curried mussels. I liked it and what's more, it's on special on Tuesdays. The service was very good and the server very friendly. I will definitely go back.
Celiac friendly
