What a wonderful discovery! Gluten- and dairy-free cakes, truly delicious and not too sweet—the best! I had the chocolate and pistachio-raspberry ones for a birthday party, and everyone loved them. They were delicious, light, and easy to digest. Thank you for these wonderful, healthy alternatives; I highly recommend them!

delicious gluten free crepes! had a sweet one with apples and pears and caramel, wasn't bad. my husband had a savory one with egg and it was great! the people working there messed up though, we put in the order for 2 crepes and they only made the savory one for some reason. they came out and asked me what I ordered and I had to wait another 20 mins for it. it was especially strange since we were the only customers so not really sure how that happened, and we were in a bit of a rush so having to wait was annoying. they were nice about it though.

Several gluten-free choices and they take extreme care to avoid cross-contamination, excellent service, I will definitely be back.

Valerie Humphry

Wonderful food, excellent service with live music! The portions are the perfect size per person! We had the poutine, lamb pasta with gluten-free pasta available, and lamb with potatoes and vegetables.

Delicious gluten free options, had the mushroom toast for brunch which was creamy and very filling. Would come back for dinner!

Angela Verlaeckt Clark

Fish and Chips ( gluten free) Will never repeat the choice. Tasteless.

The butterflied shrimp were succulent. The salmon was delicious for someone who must eat gluten free

Denis Darde

Very well eaten, very knowledgeable for my celiac disease (gluten-free) Great welcome and service

Jennifer Mills

Excellent Gluten Free crepe!!! Had wonderful guidance from Payton on what would be the tastiest GF crepe!

C D

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.

Bob Villeneuve

What a great find!! Traveling in Halifax as a family with several food intolerances, we could not have been happier with the Gluten-Free, Vegan, and dairy-free options. Cozy spot, great service, and everything was very tasty. We've been in town two nights and had dinner here twice!

Eli Drummond

Great place, took my mom there for lunch. Tasty and fast! Great veggie and gluten free options!

Andres Dias

Our server was excellent, very attentive and kind also funny and engaging. Everyone went above and beyond to get us a perfect seat for our night out. My wife is celiac and it is very hard to find a place that she can safely eat at and has excellent food and Service. This place is hard to beat in Canmore. I'd recommend it to anyone, especially with allergies.

Alice Leung

Tabule has always been my favourite restaurant, my top choice for lunch in the neighborhood. The menu offers a variety of healthy options including gluten free items. The staff here are all pleasant and helpful especially Mina. I look forward to see her there every time.

Damira Gerasimova

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.

Trey Floks

Classic Quebec snack bar, they have multiple gravies to choose from. My wife has Celiac, and this place has a dedicated fryer and most of their gravies are gluten free. Their gluten free poutine with sauce BBQ is probably my favorite poutine in Gatineau, with chez Bob and Gaga close behind (but they are not gluten free), but my wife prefers hers with sauce brun.

Great GF menu

Elena Mager-Tetz

A Celiac Foodie's Dream! The food here is outstanding - chef Joseph goes above and beyond. It is such a treat to have delicious, local, farm-to-table style dishes that are also created with a knowledgeable kitchen and staff. Indoor/Outdoor dining is a definite plus and the ambiance is great. I regularly crave the Poutines and the GF Brownie, although every item here is a hit.

Stephan Chapados

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.

Zachariah Boerner

Had a great meal. Amazing flavours and textures. They were able to accommodate a gluten restriction with ease.

Hans

Well yes! Beizh is the vibe and I miss it. They’ve got gluten free options, and the veggie fillings are actually good. Simple, solid, satisfying. Nice small spot

Michaela Storoschuk

Had a work night dinner with some out of country guests and oh my goodness did this restaurant went above and beyond. Attentive service, fully could accommodate the menu for each dietary allergy (dairy and gluten), and had an amazing variety of options from land sea and farm. A bit of a spend but it was worth it for a lovely night out, and the ambiance was divine.

Lori Willette

Absolutely delighted at the service, (thank you Antoine), the food, (thank you gluten free crepes), and the ambience, (thank you small, quaint, not loud, environment).

My husband got sick from eating mussels here :/ - servers seemed to serve certain customers over others seemingly along racial lines, it was a frustrating experience and the food could have been better overall. There are gluten free options here including the onion soup but be aware the onion soup is a wine reduction and tastes different than your typical onion soup. Also note the regular menu is not available during brunch service.

Emily Howell

Our junior high took 175 students here over 5 dates for French field trips. The entire process from start (planning) to finish is incredible. Field trip planning can be difficult, and it takes a special kind of person to be able to work with so many teenagers - Sylvia and Chloe were kind, encouraging, and so welcoming to our students. The students were a bit apprehensive to practice their French with strangers, but Sylvia and Chloe were so patient and encouraging. Students came back to the school raving about not only the food, but about how excited and successful they felt with their French. They were accomodating to gluten free and vegan diets without issue. One student got her period unexpectedly and no one from the school had supplies. My co-worker talked with Sylvia to see if the staff had anything, and she walked to the nearby corner store and bought supplies. The community mindset that the staff here is unmatched. If I only had one field trip I could take my French students on, Chartier is that field trip. I hope we can return for many years to come!

Ema Hazra

They were able to make gluten-free modifications to everything I ordered which was much appreciated.

Grace Crolla

We recently celebrated a night out as a family and had a great evening. Our server Stephan was excellent, the food was delicious, and as someone with celiac disease I felt very safe in their hands. For the amuse bouches they brought us, they made sure to bring gluten free options for me.

Shannon

Charming restaurant with a nice patio in Pedestrian Village. The menu doesn't mention gluten-free options but they do offer a gluten-free, buckwheat crepe batter and I didn't experience any issues with cross contamination. Our waiter wasn't knowledgeable about dietary restrictions or how the food was prepared, but was very friendly and attentive. The sauces weren't gluten free and my crepe was a little dry without the sauce, but overall I enjoyed this place.

Eric Gauthier

Very good service, perfect portions. We really appreciated the special attention given to my partner who is celiac for gluten-free preparations.

Christine Nygren

Went for a work trip dinner, and it was very tasty! My coworkers with no food allegiance allergies really liked the mushrooms and ribs appies. Had multiple gluten-free and some gluten and dairy free options. Fryer is nominally gluten-free, but they fry a lot of shellfish in it. They even had GF vegan carrot cake as a dessert option, which was a pleasant surprise.

Brianna Rogers-kumar

Incredible service, exception food. Love the look and feel of this restaurant. They were able to modify almost every dish for a gluten allergy. Absolutely recommend coming here!

Micheline Lefrançois

Thanks for the gluten free and great service.

We travelled 2 hours to eat dinner here. Destination choice. Us and our friends (4 top) The dining room was busy, loud and full of laughter. The Kitchen was on a lull when we sat down for our 7 pm table, as we had a front row seat to see what they are up to. What they are "up to" is a LOT. As is the whole restaurant. Great greeting at the door, good well timed and solid service by the whole team, table visit from the Manager to say hello and chat for a minute. Very well made drinks, good wine selection by the glass, big tables, nice big chairs. Details. They have these covered. As the second rush hit, and the Kitchen crew was heading into what I know was the second stretch of service in a 10+ hour day, they did not let up. All of the parts of the dishes we ordered had their full attention. The salad, venison carpaccio and squash fritters were delicious, proportional and looked fantastic. The frites on the burger and flat iron steak (both cooked as ordered, delicious and served hot) were crisp and seasoned. The gnocchi was so good my wife purposefully did not finish so she could take some home to have the next day and my duck leg had crispy skin, soft delicious meat and slightly textured cabbage, with potatoes, proper lardons and a balance of tart mustard. There was dessert too after all of that great food, a smooth and full-of-real-vanilla-bean brulee and a light lemon tart. Espresso martinis after the meal instead of coffee. I am a full blown celiac diner who understands that there will be dishes that I just cannot have and yet I had numerous menu choices as well as un-requested thoughtful additions provided (gluten free crackers for my carpaccio) This is a restaurant business that you can go to knowing that all of the people that are here are working to put out the very best over-all experience they can, and have been doing so for the past several years. In a changing time of eating out and deciding where to go and what to get, my wife put it perfectly - "Go somewhere that can exceed your expectations" The French does just that.

We recently dined at Buell Street Bistro and had a fantastic time. We sat on the patio, which had a lovely atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal. Our server was incredible—attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious! What really stood out was the fact that they offer separate gluten-free and vegetarian menus. This was a huge plus for me, as I didn’t have to browse through items I couldn't eat. It made choosing a meal so much easier, and everything I tried was flavorful and fresh. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and service, especially if you have dietary restrictions!

Today my daughter and I went to The Waterfront restaurant to celebrate my Birthday. It was our 1st time there. The staff were absolutely amazing. Everyone worked together as a team. It was very busy, but they didn't seem stressed. Our food was delicious. Shout out to our server HOLLY. She was a 15/10. She answered all of our questions and gave us good suggestions. She was very knowledgeable about Celiac and gluten free options! We even moved to sit in the sunshine to have dessert and finish our drinks. I can't wait to go dine there again.

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.

Came here before a show. My wife is celiac and cannot eat anything with or contaminated with gluten. The menu used to clearly tell us what was GF, no more. Only mentioned vegetarian options. This is unacceptable for a restaurant like this. Our waitress tried to help with the choices but it was very limited. I don’t understand how a restaurant like this still fries other things in the same oil as the fries for example. In 2025, in the middle of downtown Montreal, it’s very sad. It was our 2nd upsetting experience at this place in less than 1 year. We will not return. The braised beef I had was also below the expectations, used to be much much better. I received my french onion soup with my main plate! Who does that? I could see my soup under the counter for a good 10 min, doesn’t make sense.
