We loved Hortus. My wife & I are both gluten free & were excited to find this restaurant. We were able to sit outside as I made reservations online before travelling. We both had French Onion Soup & it was amazing. My wife had poutine & loved it, & I had wild boar rilletes (on the appetizer) menu & it was delicious. We would go back again.

Nous sommes allés souper hier soir avec ma blonde pour ma fête. Souper sans alcool pour nous car'Février sans alcool'. Ils ont de bons mocktails & de la bière sans alcool. Options végétariennes excellentes surtout la lasagne qui est vraiment su'à coche ! Plateau de fromages du Québec bien apprêté & crème glacée à l'érable à se jeter à terre. Bon service du serveur d'origine française ! Merci pour la belle soirée, on reviendra !

A Tale of Two Dinners
We had dinner here twice. The person greeting you at the door is consistently warm & engaging but that was where the similarities ended.
The first night we were delighted to discover that most everything on the menu is gluten free & celiac safe. It's always a relief to find a dedicated gluten free restaurant. Our server was attentive & helpful navigating the menu. Cocktails were interesting & the appetizers were wonderful. The onion soup in particular was rich & delicious. The burger was fantastic & the gluten free bun had a fantastic brioche like texture. The vegetable soup was innovative & delighted a 10 year old. The meal was memorable enough that we decided to return.
Unfortunately our follow up dinner was a mirror image of the first. Our server was inattentive & largely absent. When she brought us a ketchup that had been mostly used by someone else there was no apology, she just shrugged it off. The same onion soup was incredibly salty & barely warm enough to soften the cheese. Never having had poutine I decided to try their spin on the dish with duck a l'orange poutine. It was far too sweet to enjoy & again not warm enough for the cheese to melt. The care & attention paid to our previous meal was out the window & we left feeling that we had paid a lot for second rate food & sub-par service.

Wow! Un service exceptionnel de Ludovick! Un souper absolument divin! Tout est magnifiquement délicieux. Les portions sont parfaites. Pour ma part, un de mes 5 meilleurs restaurants. L'entrée, le boeuf en repas principal, les accompagnements, le dessert. Tout est excellent. Le meilleur pouding au chômeur de ma vie: une profusion de sauce avec le pouding ! Les photos ne rendent malheureusement pas justice au bonheur que les cuisiniers nous offrent! Félicitations & merci!

What a wonderful find. Food, service & atmosphere were excellent. We dined at outside table for lunch. Menu recommendations: Onion soup, filet mignon & burger.

I ordered the French onion soup & a side salad. My dinner date ordered the burger, fries & salad. First off the wine selection by the glass was minimal. Not a lot of selection. Ordered the bread & that was good with the thyme butter. My soup, well it was underwhelming. First it was not hot second & most importantly it had no flavor
My companions burger was ordered med well & it was over done It was dry, the bun was just strange in that it was hard & fell apart. The fries were limp. Salas came in a flower pot which was a cute presentation but impossible to eat. Overall I would not recommend.

We wandering in on a Wednesday night, it was not crowded. Ate dinner inside, the rooms were smaller so the noise level was lower than you would expect. Our meal was delicious. We had French onion soup. Pickled whitefish & vegetarian curry. This is a farm to table restaurant, food was delicious. I would visit again!

We ate here three of the four meals we had in Quebec City. It was a delight as a celiac, to be able to choose anything off the menu from French Onion Soup ti even a bread basket. Fresh & delicious.

Nous sommes allés pour un souper d'anniversaire. Tout était délicieux, belles assiettes, service attentionné, très joli endroit. Carte réfléchie avec des produits frais sur le toit. Sans gluten un bonus pour ma fille coeliaque, pas de souci.
