Ottavio Gatineau - Restaurant Apportez Votre Vin

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.

Great food and great prices. It took about an hour to receive our food since the restaurant was full but the staff is very nice. The atmosphere was loud since the table are very close together. Overall, this is a very good restaurant that offers gluten free food and i 100% recommend it.

I will be dreaming of the delicious crab cakes until I'm lucky enough to return! We originally chose to dine here as we were excited to see the level of gluten free accommodations, and it's safe to say we were all pleased with our experience! Our server was accommodating to our needs and requests, the food was EXCELLENT! the only thing missing was a beautiful glass of wine to pair with it all! A fun idea for guests to bring their own wine, but as we were from out of town, I would have enjoyed the convenience of ordering a glass from a menu. Overall, 9/10 experience!
