Hortus possède deux toits verts en plein coeur du Vieux-Québec, juste au dessus de vous! Nos récoltes se retrouvent directement dans vos assiettes.
Notre chef Stéphane Roth récoltant les légumes frais de notre toit.
Nos toits verts fournissent une partie des légumes et fruits utilisés dans nos assiettes. L’espace limité nous offre un rendement restreint, c’est pourquoi nous sommes partenaires avec des fournisseurs québécois produisant des fruits et légumes biologiques.
NOS ABEILLES
Nous possédons plusieurs ruches à l’île-d’Orléans sur les grands champs de fraises chez notre partenaire Oh Bio. Trois ruches d’abeilles occupent le toit de l’hôtel du vieux Québec et participent à la pollinisation de nos jardins.
L’importance des abeilles sur la biodiversité
Sans parler de leur production de miel, que nous aimons tant, les abeilles font partie intégrante de la majorité des écosystèmes. Les abeilles assurent près de 80% de la pollinisation, donc de la reproduction des plantes à fleurs. Elles jouent aussi un rôle important dans notre chaîne alimentaire, considérant que 35% de nos fruits et légumes dépendent de la pollinisation des insectes.

We are visiting from Nova Scotia, & our hearts were so full being able to offer our celiac kiddo her first fully GF restaurant. She was able to try all our meals, & all the gluten eaters loved their meals just as much! English is well accommodated,
Completely gluten free restaurant. Farm to table. I ordered burger (which was extremely good) & fries & hubby ordered vegetable curry. Plus they have Helix beer ( gluten free)
Best food in Quebec city! 100% gluten free, local fresh foods, home made honey, & just a great experience overall! Not only compares to the greatest restaurants around the province, but competes!
Dans ma ville d'adoption, ma vie y est si douce… Je recommande, si vous lise mon commentaire, à votre prochain brunch dans le Vieux-Québec de faire comme moi de découvrir Le Hortus, là où le sans gluten y est une vocation… La terrasse y est tellement invitante!
Première fois que je découvre ce resto pendant mon séjour à Québec… & wow
Cuisine sans gluten vraiment incroyable, tout était délicieux, super quartier sur une belle rue. Mais surtout, le service a été exceptionnel. Ludovic a été juste parfait du début à la fin : professionnel, attentionné, super gentil… honnêtement un des meilleurs services que j'ai eus.
Merci pour tout, c'était une superbe expérience

Nourriture excellente, tout est sans gluten, donc aucun stress pour les restrictions liés.
Service super, par contre j'ai mentionné l'anniversaire de ma conjointe lors de notre visite, on m'a dit qu'ils offraient un dessert que j'ai quand-même dû payé au final.
L'endroit était beau & propre, mais assez bruyante, les gens parlaient fort, certains cris même à l'occasion.
Nous avons réservé car le restaurant est sans gluten ce qui était important car nous étions avec une personne coeliaque. Tout était délicieux & le service parfait, nous avons adoré l'expérience. Merci

J'y suis allée pour les options végétariennes & j'ai été charmée de non seulement trouver de vrais repas Vege/vegan, mais aussi de voir que l'endroit est entièrement sans gluten. Le personnel a été très agréable & accommodant pour mon amie à mobilité réduite.
Amazing restaurant with the best gluten free food! It is so cozy & accommodating with great quality ingredients. We went to visit from Boston & cannot wait to go back.
Service impeccable & rapide! (Pas plus de 2 heures total pour tout le service)Le menu est entièrement sans gluten & nous amènes vers une découverte gustative exceptionnelle! J'adore leur concept local !
When I arrived at Bistro Hortus on my birthday for my reservation for three people, I decided I wanted to eat alone because my family was driving me insane. Marianne, who was also my server, was happy to allow me to eat alone. She sat my family separate from me. I am so glad that I at alone.
The staff was wonderful & very sympathetic to me being very sad on my birthday. My mood changed when I sat down. The music playing was great & the atmosphere was classy, but it gave me a casual homey feeling.
After ordering the Quebec Lamb Shank, I settled into a super yummy meal. I found myself rocking my head back & forth to the music & enjoying the delicious food. At one point, I actually closed my eyes without knowing it because I was so relaxed & the food was so good. The cider I ordered was also refreshing & light.
For dessert, I ordered Pouding Chomeur. Because they knew it was my birthday, my dessert came with it a super cool zig zag candle that came out of the board It was served on. I felt really special in a place I had never been before. It was simply divine. If you do not like very sweet desserts, this one might not be for you. Although the caramel sauce is very sweet, the maple ice cream that is served with balances it out. ORDER IT & see!
Overall this is a great place to eat, or just to get some tea, coffee or a glass of wine. If you are living a gluten-free lifestyle, you will love this restaurant. Instead of searching all over the menu for something that you can eat, the entire menu is open to you. I will come back again before my trip is over.

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.
A very unique & special dinner in Quebec City. The Bistro Hortus prides itself on locally sourced ingredients & a menu that is exclusively crafted around both Gluten Free & Nut Free .
We had made reservations weeks in advance as I had heard it gets very busy & reservations are highly recommended.
Upon arrival we were greeted & immediately shown to our table . Our waitress explained the philosophy of the restaurant & took our ordered . Cocktails included locally sourced ingredients & local artisanal gin. Both delicious .
Appetizer we got a fresh goat cheese platter with GF crackers & grilled zucchini. Honey drizzled over goat cheese is their own harvest. Great combination of flavors .
Main dishes we got a vegetarian dish with Beluga lentils , smoked tofu & roasted squash. Truly special dish packed with flavor & good healthy fiber . Also as a main the organically raised chicken was juicy & well seasoned . Accompanied by an array of vegetables including beets , carrots & sweet potatoes with a homemade BBQ sauce that had hints of honey . Definitely a memorable plate .
The entire dessert menu is also Gluten Free which is often a rarity at restaurants. We tried the pudding Chomeur which is a moist cake soaked in a hot caramel sauce that soaks up into the cake . On top of that was an organic maple syrup ice cream that tied everything together . Warm cake & ice cream : a dream of flavors .
The staff was great . Fast & accommodating by explaining the menu & making recommendations.
You can tell the owners take pride in this farm to table plus locally sourced ingredients restaurant .
Our experience at the Bistro Hortus was so good, we went twice in one day. Having a completely gluten free menu made dining a breeze for myself (a celiac). The service (Available in French & English) was outstanding as was the food. I would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone with celiac disease or a gluten intolerance. I would definitely go again!
This brilliantly created establishment elevates cusine to the highest level with a carefree, yet calculated approach. We found it online as one of few farm to table restaurants in this heavily touristed area of Quebec City. We went in not knowing at the time that it was a completely gluten free environment. After reviewing the menu I had some concern, but kept an open mind, glad I did. There was no chance of disappointment here. A well crafted meal was presented to us with style & flare, yet simple & fresh in its ingredient selections. Fresh everything, including honey off the comb! Don't miss an opportunity to be pleasantly surprised!
Decided to stop mid afternoon, completely unexpected . We ordered from the 3-5 pm menu. Wowowow! Mini poutine & Hortus nachos. Great serving sizes & GLUTEN FREE✔?✔?
Polite staff , great discovery !
