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.

We have been dining at Bistro Hortus for a few years now during our visits to Old Quebec City. It has become one of our favourite restaurants. With one of us being celiac, we always know we can safely dine & recieve not only excellent food, but excellent service.
Ingredients are always fresh, the wine selections are more than adequate & the variety of gluten free options is hard to beat.
Every dish has been delicious, especially the nachos which are unlike any nachos we have ever had. It's one of our go-to dishes when we visit.
You cannot go wrong with a dining experience at Bistro Hortus.

I guess it's a question of opinion but we felt the food was just ok. Not because it wasn't fresh or well prepared nor because of the presentation, more so that the items on the menu which is a question of taste. They use duck eggs which have a different flavour, wild game meat which again is unique. We personally didn't enjoy it.

This restaurant had it all! I came here specifically because of the completely gluten free menu, but this restaurant goes far beyond just a gluten free option for dining. The food was dynamic, fresh, & inventive. We loved the thought into each dish we ordered, & the story behind the produce & selection of products. I would say this was one of our favorite meals on our trip. We ordered the bread basket, deer carpaccio, french onion soup, & the beef option. Highly highly recommend stopping by here on your next visit, gluten free or not.

The food was magnificent & I would highly recommend anything on the menu. It's all fresh & perfectly prepared, but let's focus the service, which was truly exceptional! Every staff member was attentive & dedicated to meeting our needs, regardless of who was serving our table. The service felt genuinely warm & welcoming, as if the staff truly enjoyed being there. They worked seamlessly as a team, balancing efficiency with a personal touch. A special mention goes to Sandrin, the bartender. She made us feel like the center of attention in a bustling restaurant, & her attentive service made our experience memorable. Thanks to her, we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Awesome weekend brunch out on the terrasse. Each main course was served with in-house made side dishes. The homemade yogurt & granola were a lovely start to the meal. The accompanying organic strawberries & blueberries were bursting with fresh sweet flavour. We enjoyed breads & house-made jam & fried potatoes with our main. Eggs perfectly cooked, buckwheat waffle, bacon roti, & guinea fowl sausage were some of the items comprising our delicious main courses. Everything was wonderful, including the service. We'd recommend this resto. When we return, we'd like to try the lunch/dinner menu. The resto also has vegetarian & gluten-free options. Updated 2024 August Lovely as usual. Excellent Hortus Spritz. 3 course lunch menu. We had poutine & the Guinea fowl sausage. Great tastes of farm to table ingredients. Maple fudge dessert a sweet ending. Nice patio with great views. See last four photos.

The food tasted extremely fresh, & the dessert was the best I ever had. I had the walleye tartare, & my wife got the chicken. Some of the best dishes I've had my whole time in Quebec city. Highly recommend would come back again.
