Les pates sont excellentes! Et les serveurs connaissent bien les restrictions liées à la maladie cœliaque.

What a wonderful experience! We discovered this gem on the Find Me Gluten Free app and were thrilled with the result. Cute little bistro near the river with beautiful architecture and good ambience. The staff were friendly and courteous. When I mentioned having celiac to our waitress at the beginning she was very helpful with explaining the menu and each time her or a runner brought us food they indicated what was gluten free and safe for me to eat which tells me that they informed all of the staff of the allergy. This made me feel very safe. They even had gluten free crackers and bread with butter for me while my husband had the traditional bread and butter for his soup. I haven’t seen this option at another restaurant before. And to top it all off the food was phenomenal! We both had the “crème de carotte” soup which was great and then shared the beef carpaccio and beet salad. Both incredible. Then I had the tagliatelle in the Brie sauce while my husband had the joue de bœuf confite. We were so stuffed afterwards we couldn’t even have dessert. But next time we for sure will since the dessert menu sounded delicious.

*Je suis cœliaque* La majorité du menu contient des pâtes. Ils en ont sans gluten qu’ils font cuire à part et la majorité des sauces sont sans gluten. La soupe du jour, la salade et les autres repas du menu (viande) l’étaient aussi. La serveuse connaissait bien la maladie cœliaque. J’y retourne, c’est sûr!
