Excellent restaurant, very good and homemade meal! Impeccable service and very friendly owner. A restaurant this good and 100% gluten-free is rare these days. I live 2 hours from Quebec City and I will return. I recommend 12 stars out of 10.
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!

An extraordinary grocery store, if you have special food needs, this is where you will find everything, the foods are very fresh, all the keto, gluten-free, vegan, etc. products are grouped together in each row, the staff is very helpful and polite, for me who does not like to search for hours for my gluten-free foods, this is my reference
We were really disapppointed when we couldn't dine at Sapristi the day before as we didn't realize we needed to make a reservation. We planned ahead the next day and made a reservation and when we arrived we were seated right away at a spot outside. Our server was great and we went all out getting a pitcher of sangria to go with our parmesan fries appetizer and pizzas for our main course. They were very accommodating to my gluten free diet and unfortunately we were too full to try their desserts so I guess we'll need to make another visit one day! Thank you for making our evening memorable with a delicious meal!
I'm celiac, so I have to be very careful about where I eat. They have gluten-free options, and after talking with the staff, I was put at ease knowing they take all the precautions necessary to avoid cross contamination when preparing gluten-free dishes.
The restaurant was great and the service was fantastic.
I called to place a takeout order with gluten-free pasta. I was told there were 4 left and that it was reserved for dine-in orders. Pretty ordinary and frankly ridiculous. I won't be going there again.
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 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.
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!
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.
Yesterday, we went as a family to celebrate the end of the school year. We chose this restaurant because they had a gluten-free menu. I chose a pizza and paid for the gluten-free dough. However, I can say that's not what I was served. Lucky it's just an intolerance, but I was sick for most of the night. I'm still swollen and very inflamed. I should have known when we got a pizza with a mistake on the order. The service was courteous but incomparably slow. I won't be going back, that's for sure. I won't risk getting sick again. 2 stars is for not respecting a dietary restriction that could have been dangerous for others. The taste was very good. The restaurant was too noisy for me too.
Very expensive for O.K. pizza (about 24$ for a small 8"/ 4pieces pizza).
Their kids menu is very nice: small 6" pizza + drink + small packaged brownie. Good for kids aged 2-6.
Our server messed up our orders (we ordered no mushrooms on 2 pizzas, but both had some), we didn't wanted to ask for another since we had hungry kids waiting to eat.
They make thin crust Pizza dough (gluten free options available). A lot of variety of pizza toppings on their menu. This place is very child friendly. Taxes and service fees (tip) are automatically added to the bill.
The kitchen staff are smiling. lovely ambiance.
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 🤞😁

Busy spot in an even busier tourist area of the city. We had a light breakfast of Pain Chocolat and a gluten free egg and ham sandwich. Both were good. This place is also a popular place to get an ice cream, even at 10 am! I liked it there.
Based on a visit in Aug 2023.
The restaurant was busy at 6PM on a Monday. We didn't have a reservation. However, we were able to get seated quickly. Our waiter was pleasant, professional and efficient. She spoke English fluently. She explained the various menu options to our satisfaction. We were pleased to see that smaller portion sizes were an option. It was just right for us with the soup and starters.
Red wine was smooth and the espresso martini (not on the menu but our waiter said it could be made) was perfect after a long day of hiking.
Food was served promptly. The minestrone was not bad. My wife enjoyed the mussels with marinara sauce (sauce was delicious). Her main course of gluten free pasta with fresh sauce and basil hit the spot. My penne with arabiata was good too.
The restaurant serves gluten free pasta for an extra charge.
Had an incredible dinner here! Service, ambiance, food were all amazing. We did the tasting menu. I have celiac so mine was made completely gluten-free and they took it very seriously. My husband had the vegan one and loved his food as well! Also nice to see a non-alcoholic wine pairing option.
During our meal, our party of six had four “best we’ve ever had”s. One person had the best burger, one had the best gluten free bun, one had the best poutine, and one had the best tofu they’ve ever had. If that’s not a ringing endorsement, you’re not the type of person to be convinced by Google Maps reviews anyways.
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.
What a beautiful restaurant nestled in The Chateau Frontenac. It was a non pretentious, warm environment with atmospheric lighting. Lots to offer with its wide selection of food, especially gluten free. They have gluten-free bread to offer before your meal with butter, which is a plus. Since this option is not so widely offered. Highly recommend.
Impeccable service, everything was done to make me a gluten-free meal. It was my only resource for grabbing a bite. Absolutely nothing available in the area for those with special needs. I will definitely go back for the welcome and the smile of the lady in service. Bravo for the gluten-free sausages, all that's left is to add a few other products that are also gluten-free😉. 🌾
Excellent food and very helpful staff. Able to provide advice and help us navigate celiac dining with various gluten free options for our kids. Overall a great experience both times we visited.
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!
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.
I asked for gluten-free (I'm celiac) and when picking up the order the chef specified that the pollock was gluten-free (iykyk the joy when a chef knows what he's talking about) and that he had done the best he could to vary the combo despite the restriction.
100% confident!
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.
Super meal. Lobster salad. Grilled salmon. Lamb shank. Veal medallions. All tasty and well presented on piping hot plates. Many gluten free items clearly marked on menu.
Being gluten-free I love their variety, their bread being my favorite because the gluten-free ones are often too moist or tasteless. My favorite breakfast restaurant chain. Too bad there isn’t one in St-Georges…
Went there with my roommate yesterday night, and I’ve gotta say I was impressed. Their salmon ‘hygee’ poke is literally to die for!
Also, I really appreciate the fact that they have a list of allergens they can show to costumers, and how you can just ask them to make a lot of dishes gluten free for you.
I would definitely recommend this place to any poke lover
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.
