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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🙏😇.
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.
Absolutely loved everything about La Pizz!
The food was incredible — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The fresh pasta was outstanding, and we were so impressed by the homemade gluten-free pasta options — such a rare and thoughtful touch. Our server, Amelie, was wonderful: warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was charming and cozy, like stepping into an authentic Italian family kitchen. Every detail, from the service to the setting, made the experience unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back!
We were very well received by friendly and caring staff. Varied choices on the menu for everyone, but also a good choice for people with intolerances to gluten and dairy products. I was pleasantly surprised by the options, I was even able to have dessert! 😊. Price-wise, it’s reasonable considering the prices elsewhere in restaurants today. We each had a starter, meal, dessert and a bottle of wine
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!!
