Top 9 Gluten-Free Brunch Spots to Enjoy in Québec City

Ronnie Noonan-Birch

Excellent place for celiacs! Note that if you want to book a group of 10 or more, you must EMAIL them although it says call on the table booking portal. Also with a group size of 14, we had to agree to a set menu. No problem there since the food was fantastic but the communication for this large group booking could've been better.

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!

Darianne Fortin

Delicious! Hope it is really gluten-free, i specified Celiac disease on my order.

Laura

I had a gluten free buckwheat savory crepe, and it was delicious! BF had a specialty pork dish, and said it was amazing. The service was fantastic. Absolutely 💯 recommend this place.

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.

Incredible food as always. Stays relevant in the culinary world even after so many years. Toute est bon. Options sans gluten available.

Marlene Plamondon

Excellent gluten-free menu. It's delicious! THANKS!

Catie Lindberg

I’m not someone who normally reviews, but our experience was so wonderful I had to do it! My 3yo daughter and I enjoyed a delicious lunch here and our server, Pascal, went above and beyond to make our experience so special. He was so kind and accommodating and made it his mission to put a smile on my daughter’s face! And a gluten-free menu was so nice too! I cannot express enough what a great experience we had together here and I highly recommend dining here! Especially with kids!!! Food was great and space is very charming too!

Jade Bouchard

Super quiet and pleasant little restaurant. Super friendly staff. Flexible lunch & dinner choice regarding vegetarianism & gluten-free. Super good!

Denis Darde

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

Krystal Campioni

They have very good gluten free crepes! ❤️

Kate Bourque

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.

Spencer Thorpe

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!

Daniel Labrèche

Excellent cuisine with a gluten-free choice, personalized welcome, a pretty terrace and an affordable daily menu. I highly recommend.

Nathalie Houde

The view is magnificent. We were warmly welcomed and informed about the dishes. Everything is gluten-free, or almost everything. They are very careful about contamination. A restaurant that understood that it was so much simpler to have an allergen-free menu.

Joanna Urban

This place was amazing! Our server was so attentive and lovely and they were able to make modifications to dishes I had so that they were gluten free and dairy free for me. It was very nice of her to speak French with us so that we could practice. The cod was fantastic; perfectly cooked and some of the best cod I’ve ever had. Bar programme is also top notch. Mocktails were perfect, especially enjoyed the Mocky Ruby. Thanks to all the staff for making our dinner here extra special.

Kellie Green

We loved our meal here. There were lots of gluten free options and great cocktails. Our server, Jordan, was great!

Frédéric Duval

Professional service, very pleasant and fast. Quality food, gluten-free bread in particular. The drinks are of above average quality in my opinion. I highly recommend.

Nathalie L

Very good service and great gluten-free lunch choices!

Stephanie Chabot

Nice restaurant for brunch. I would have appreciated having the gluten free bread option.

Marc Savard

Resto du Vieux-Québec. Très beau resto dans un quartier enchanteur et historique de la ville. Bel ambiance, très populaire même en ce mardi soir, signe de la qualité de l'endroit. Propreté irréprochable, les planchers brillaient, les menus biens propres, pas de surprises avec les couverts, ils étaient étincelants. Très beau menu typiquement italien. Ma conjointe et moi étant coeliaques, les employés ont su nous conseiller et ils adopter le menu afin de nous permettre d'avoir un repas conforme à notre diète stricte sans gluten. Si le staff lit ce texte, sachez que vos attentions ont été très appréciés, merci! Les repas étaient très goûteux, délicieux et en portion généreuses. Les prix sont très décents pour la qualité du service, ainsi que la nourriture. La carte des vins est digne de mention, elle reflète bien l'amour que porte les Italiens pour le vin. Excellente expérience, on se revoit bientôt Matto! Grazie mille! ♥️

Nathalie Pedro

Excellent lunch place (and more). I loved my brunch. Lots of great options on the menu. Ideal for groups, large room capacity. Friendly service. Outdoor terrace in summer. Gluten-free options.

As soon as we walked up to the restaurant I had a feeling it was going to be a special night--there is something welcoming and cozy l about the restaurant that is difficult to describe (but I will do my best). The host was friendly and the service was excellent. The four-course dinner was incredible. I have an issue with gluten and it was not a problem--they were able to accommodate me without incident. We began with oysters and they were delicious. And my friend and I both went with the non-vegetarian option for the tasting menu. We were in great hands--the meal was excellent and the timing of the courses was perfect. Good portions and creative dishes. We loved every bite.

Rosemary Reviews

La Buchette - Buvette Québécoise in Quebec City offers a cozy, Quebec chalet-style ambiance with original stone decor. They accommodate gluten intolerance and craft a healthier version of the classic McCain cake. The service is exceptional, the traditional poutine was delicious, and everyone enjoyed their food. Their breakfast sausage, stuffed with cheese, is a must-try—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. The charming patio is perfect for savoring local flavors and custom cocktails. A must-visit for an authentic, welcoming experience!

Gluten-free crepe with caramelized apples and brie, superb presentation, cheerful service

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 🙏😇.

Disappointment with the quality of the cuisine. We felt like we were in a canteen. We expected much better... The cuisine really lacks finesse. The quantities are there, but the taste is unfortunately not there... I have never eaten such a dry and tasteless cheeseburger 😥. The breads, like the minced steaks, came out of plastic bags before our eyes... we are not at all sure of a quality product. The cherry, having taken a gluten-free bread, I was charged more than $2 extra... (it's expensive to be celiac 😑). My partner's stuffed turkey had no taste. We will only remember the kindness of the staff. I generally do not recommend this restaurant, but even more so for people with celiac disease (inevitable crossovers since everything is cooked on the same plate) as well as for those intolerant to gluten (far too few alternatives for us).

Lucie Chartré

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.

Marguerite Fillion

WOW!! Everything was perfect, the welcome, the service, and what about the food! Safe for celiac (gluten free), server and chef very knowledgeable about the disease. In the photos: lobster bisque, pan-fried scallops, pineapple rum crème brûlée.

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!!

Deryl Gallant

One of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had. Usually GF pizza is small, and from a frozen crust...this was 12+ inches and the crust was amazing. 10/10 and will be back again this week.

Jade Taq

Veganizable pizzas even possible to have gluten-free. So tasty. The service is impeccable.

Dominic Leduc

Very current for a medieval name. Warm atmosphere, excellent original lunches (brioche with caramel sauce au gratin) and gluten-free lunch available. Excellent coffee (nothing like commercial coffee).

C. Wimmers

The food here was absolutely incredible. Both my husband and myself require a gluten free diet and the chef made changes the any dish we wanted to accommodate us. He even made a dessert just for me with local, in season apples! The rest of the staff were very attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Lyv Paradis

Very good, gluten-free choice.

Marielle Brière

Super nice atmosphere and decor! Table d’hôte at $50 is more than worth it! Super clean place, great service! Great find ❤️ Plus, there’s gluten-free!

Joanna Johnson

Josianne Chapdelaine

Mushrooms, walleye, deer, hare. Very good dishes, very good wines! The chef adapts to gluten-free, so very appreciated!

Corinne Li-Thiao-Te

Great discovery! Food is very good for lunch. It's good value for money compared to the quantity. The plates are appetizing and carefully prepared. The menu offers an original Asian fusion choice. There is something for everyone! A special mention for the gluten-free options with the buckwheat pancakes! We will come back!

S Hiltner

Very nice café with super friendly service staff who speak English and French. I had the fried calamari (gluten free) and they were excellent. Particularly recommended is a spot on the back terrace

Alexandra Krissy Martel

Incredible experience. We loved it! Sublime experience, we ate the discovery menu paired with the wine. The service was perfect, the perfect atmosphere for a Thursday evening with family at the castle. A gluten-free menu was available and suitable for all discerning palates!

Matthias Jaepel

A friend and I came across Galopin just by chance in November 2016. The restaurant was so unassuming, staff unobtrusive and subtle, yet so efficient and friendly. The meals we'd chosen blew us away. It was the best dinner experience for both of us in years. Since then, I'd often recommended Galopin to friends who planned to travel to Quebec City. This time I visited Quebec City with my spouse, it was a birthday weekend! The planned highlight: Dinner at the Galopin. I was looking forward to it with such expectation. My wife is 100% non-alcoholic and is gluten free. We couldn't find gluten-free option that did not include alcohol. Wait staff didn't really seem to be motivated. We felt rushed, as if accommodating these needs would be asking too much. So, her choices were very limited. Finally she settled on steak, which was ok - if on the cold side. We'd rate it at a 8/10. But this was the steak only. I'd rate my own dinner at a 5/10. The starter (Sweetbreads) was a 6.5, the interim salad a joke [really a 'minus one'] as the lettunce leaves were dried out and flavourless, there was not enough dressing and ,in addition, our server did not even bother to ask if anything else was needed. My main dish was blood sausage with with scallops. The scallops were fine, but the additional items on the plate were rather flavorless (5 /10). The dessert was too dry and the apple flavor in the 6 little spots on the plate was recognisable, but just neglectable in dimension (3/ 10). The Rose Vine (Portuguese) was fine and presented at the right temperature. A good choice. My coffee was excellent. Given my high anticipation, it was a disastrous evening. I was so disappointed.

Ken Getchell

Tapas style lunch menu was great. Service was great. I am gluten free and unable to consume cows milk, yet somehow I had access to most of the menu with no modifications.

Monique Tremblay

Disservice. I asked for a gluten free lunch and stressed the importance of taking it into consideration. I chose a crepe that offers this possibility. In the end, the crepe was not gluten-free and I was sick all day and night (vomiting and migraine). Is this an error by the kitchen or by the service? I won't go back there again...

Jan Hendrik Van wyk

I'm gluten free so I can really enjoy any food but the place has such a nice atmosphere and I got to have a nice coffee. It would highly recommend if they don't like busy streets and just a nice little coffee shop. ☕

Jane Savard

A good restaurant for breakfast, although the choice is quite limited for those following an anti-inflammatory diet. I opted for a dish that almost met my standards, and I have to say it was really delicious! The next day we went back. I asked to place the granola on the side to have gluten-free bread, it was very delicious. Thank you to the team for this pleasant experience and for the atmosphere! Jane & François ❣️
