Top 50 Lunch locations in Québec City

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!

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.

looking for a delicious gluten-free option or simply a perfect place for a date night, Sapristi St-Jean is the ideal place. The restaurant is easy to find, with parking spaces along the street. We were greeted quickly and seated at a table with a big smile, which immediately set the mood. As a starter, we opted for the onion soup and olives and pickles. The presentation was neat). For the main course, the gluten-free American pizza was absolutely delicious, with dough that really tasted like traditional dough (impressive for a gluten-free option). The two salmon pasta was good, but lacked a little salt to really bring out the flavors. In summary, an excellent experience, with tasty dishes and friendly service. I highly recommend this restaurant for those looking for gluten-free options or just a good meal in a pleasant atmosphere

Always delicious and lots of gluten-free options 😋

Alexander Uebele

I'm celiac, so I have to be very careful about where I eat. They have gluten-free options, and after talking with the staff, I was put at ease knowing they take all the precautions necessary to avoid cross contamination when preparing gluten-free dishes. The restaurant was great and the service was fantastic.

I may still be young and not a big restaurant explorer, but it's the best restaurant I've been to in Quebec or in my life. The ambiance, space and bathrooms (guest only, good sanitary idea) are not luxurious, but are just right. The service and wait compared to other restaurants is fair. Server entertained my curiosity about the format and menu. You can take it comfortably if not finished (Take Mega size only if you are a serious bodybuilder 😅). Putting the word Poutine in the name of the restaurant makes a mark, but it's diverse! And just the idea of ​​a paperwork version of a buffet is incredible; Give a list of ingredients, choose what you want, and the plate is cooked personally. (Junior format with a good number of additions still makes a reasonable portion). Me who must be healthy, gluten-free and sugar-free... sincerely, you are putting me on the path to loving the word restaurant again. A bit luxurious for my pocket, but if it's the occasion; to Poutineville, Quality Price, Favorite. !!LONG LIFE!!

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.

As a celiac, traveling is always tricky especially in countries where I don't speak the language. At Sapristi, I was able to enjoy a delicious gluten free meal with no issues. The staff were friendly and helpful and able to advise on my allergies. My only complaint would be that we were seated on the patio and there are lots of hoverflies on the terrace that buzz around your food. That being said, I would return again if I was in the area. Thank you Sapristi!

An excellent spot for pizza - menu was extensive and offered options for a variety of dietary need. I ordered a gluten-free pizza - delicious, and the gf crust was outstanding! Restaurant vibes were classy but casual. Reservations recommended to guarantee a table in the evening, but there was plenty of bar seating available for walk-ins. Only note: I was surprised to find my glass of red wine served cold, but didn't want to be rude so just let it sit for a while before sipping. Would probably skip the wine next time around.

Darianne Fortin

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

Denis Darde

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

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.

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!

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!

Charles R

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

Sarah Jane

Delicious gluten-free pizza! The crust tastes exactly like a regular thin crust. Small downside, it was very noisy at lunchtime.

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.

Yazid Abella

Very good service, gluten-free menu I recommand it

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!

Hannah Burton

We enjoyed a nice meal at Chez Victor before our train. We have several celiacs in our party and so eating out can be difficult! The gluten free burger at Chez Victor was delicious and our server had a great knowledge of allergens. A shared fryer meals anything fried is off limits which is a shame but the salad alternative was delicious. We would definitely return to Chez Victor if we were in the area again!

Jade Bouchard

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

Sabrina Desroches

Beautiful vegan and gluten-free options on a sunny terrace. Everything was perfect. Thanks to our waitress Rachel!

Krystal Campioni

They have very good gluten free crepes! ❤️

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.

Alex Melbourne

Gluten Free & vegetarian friendly menu. Super easy to navigate & the servers are very helpful. The staff are so kind and speak both English and French. The food was AMAZING! One of the best gluten free buns I’ve had! I don’t know what’s in their lemonade but it is so good !

Daniel Labrèche

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

Rebecca Sorgini

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.

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.

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.

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!

Stephanie Chabot

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

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.

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!

M C

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).

My husband and I easily made a reservation online. I ordered a drink and we shared a pasta dish. The drink and the food were delicious. We eat gluten free and the buns they served were very good. Our waitress was wonderful!

Marie-Ève Morin

Being gluten-free I love their variety, their bread being my favorite because the gluten-free ones are often too moist or tasteless. My favorite breakfast restaurant chain. Too bad there isn’t one in St-Georges…

Marlene Plamondon

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

Max Deguy

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

VERONICA P.

Pleasantly surprised because the cuisine and pastries are gluten and lactose free 🤗 there are suggestions for vegans and above all it is delicious.

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!

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.

Lulu Clogher

Great gluten free options! We had the most amazing gluten free pizza we’ve ever had. I recommend for anyone with or without celiac.

Marie Lapointe

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

Nathalie L

Very good service and great gluten-free lunch choices!

Sylvie Huard

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 🙏😇.

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.

Mikaël Cormier

The best Burger in town and gluten free option.

Patrick Matte

Good poutine with gluten-free sauce and meat smoked on site.

Olivia-Maude Vallée

Being celiac, it’s not so easy to go out to eat. They have a menu for intolerances which is quite varied! The waitress, Geneviève, not to mention her name, gave us excellent service! She knows the menu and the food/wine pairing possibilities very well! She even made sure that the kitchen team paid the necessary attention to my condition, which was very appreciated! The whole family ate well and we all enjoyed our experience! We recommend the Piazzeta de Charlesbourg without any hesitation!

Meredith Graham

Handmade pasta, excellent service, plenty of options for vegetarians and even gluten free pasta upon request! The garlic bread had cheese inside and was insanely good. Saturday night off season quite crowded- reservation recommended (or sit outside with heaters).
