Top 11 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Québec City

Sonia Cloutier

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!

LOVED the churros (fantastic with some coffee), so happy to have a gluten free option.

Fiona Clydesdale

Had a lovely lunch with a gf pizza and a gf spaghetti Napoletana. We also enjoyed the chocolate cake but had to send it back as we questioned the ‘crumb’ sprinkle and turned out to be a garnish which wasn’t gf. Overall aware.

Darianne Fortin

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

Mireille Vincelette

There are a few gluten-free options and the server helped us identify the possible choices.

Robbie Turner

Great gluten free options and fantastic meal for the whole family

Fiona Clydesdale

Knowledgeable staff and lovely food. Daughters had gf pizza and pasta and enjoyed it all!

Todd MacKay

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!

Denis Darde

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

if you have celiac go get the gluten free duck confit benedict crepe, trust me. also house made ice tea with maple syrup 😍

Karyn Armitage

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.

Andy S

What a cool new place in Quebec! The vibe is upbeat and funky and the food is super high quality and delicious! The menu is also gluten free to accommodate dietary restrictions. I loved the two accompanying sauces and the carrot salad. The chicken was tender inside and golden brown delicious and crispy outside. The staff were all super friendly and service was prompt. I’m glad I found this cool little gem and plan to return again soon!

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.

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.

Amelie Briere

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 🤞😁

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.

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.

Lior Seidel

Great GF menu

Marlene Plamondon

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

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.

ariane nadeau

Very good service experience with Laura, super professional and friendly. Wide variety of delicious sushi for celiacs.

Annie-sara Cloutier

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.

Marie Lapointe

As usual, good, hot, well served and very good gluten-free menu. THANKS.

Krystal Campioni

They have very good gluten free crepes! ❤️

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.

Srivaths Sankaran

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.

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.

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.

Jenny Boies

Impeccable service! The food was good and a nice atmosphere. I'm celiac and I managed to eat gluten-free (pad thai) so I'm very happy!

Yazid Abella

Very good service, gluten-free menu I recommand it

John Kingswood

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.

Éliane Dufour-Fallon

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!

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!

Amélie J

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!

Hirsch (waz)

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.

Michelle Lisa Celemencki

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.

Claudelle Beauchamp

Only one server during lunchtime who provided excellent service. Friendly place, delicious food with gluten-free options. Simply yum!

Célia LIGNON

The burgers at Chez Victor restaurants are absolutely fabulous. I was disappointed with this restaurant in particular for the atmosphere that said. And ESPECIALLY don't order gluten-free bread if you don't want your burger to look like lint. Finally I asked for normal bread to be brought to me because the gluten-free bread was very small, tasted nothing and in short it was frozen bread that they didn't even toast. For people who have to eat gluten-free, go your way. I'll probably have a stomach ache but at least I got to eat the burger. Disappointed...

Very good service and great gluten-free lunch choices!

Jules Desbiens

Interesting gluten-free option whenever possible.

Circo9

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.

Joanie Chartier

The chicken is really delicious, crispy, a prime piece, just wow and gluten-free too!

karine landry

Lots of gluten-free options and it was excellent.

Daniel Wilkie

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.

jodi pottala

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.

Kellie Green

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