Review


I was at the Spa Nordique for the day and checked the app for a GF restaurant or one with GF options nearby. Based on the reviews on here, I chose Le Foubrac.

Cute, little restaurant with a small selection of identified gluten-free menu options. They have a dedicated fryer so the fries are safe which is always a good thing :) They have a delicious gluten-free bun option with a separate toaster for their burgers.

I actually spoke with the chef and he was very well versed in Celiac Disease and avoiding cross contamination. He definitely set my concerns at ease. Our server, on the other hand, was lacking in her ability to answer questions or have any interest in checking/asking the chef. It might have been a language barrier issue; although I was more than happy to speak French. It just came off as being disinterested in serving me or wanting to be helpful. I would highly suggest asking to speak with the chef if you are not fluent in French and have questions because the food here is really good, safe, and it is evident that they take the appropriate precautions to ensure a safe meal. Would definitely recommend.
