Lovely restaurant with many unique dishes reflecting the local region. All the servings were huge; we did not finish our main courses. The charcuterie appetiser of local meats and cheeses was outstanding (although it should come with fresh French bread instead of tasteless, hard toast/cracker things), as was the poutine with duck breast. Local, innovative and delicious. The tables are a bit too close to each other if you get a loud party near you; we had two. People really need to more self aware of their volume.

Inspirational and delicious. This is local restaurant that emphasizes a farm-to-table freshness in its ingredients. The setting has outdoor dining in Old Quebec and a beautiful indoor seating. As a traveler on the go, I had the Quebec trout. It was delicious.

I'm sorry but I really didn't like the food! I was so disappointed. I took the goat cheese appetizer and the bison carpaccio. I also took a side of bread because the 'croûtons' were not very good and way too hard! The butter had too much Rosemary in it. The taste of everything didn't match together I find. The goat cheese was not fluffy as it was supposed to be. All the little flafla didn't work. Even though it was local and organic food, it was very expensive for what I got 😭

This is an amazing experience for very typical Quebec cuisine, but it is an organic farm to table experience. Food is local grown, even some as close as the roof, including the honey.

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 and flare, yet simple and fresh in its ingredient selections. Fresh everything, including honey off the comb! Don't miss an opportunity to be pleasantly surprised!

So amazing! We couldn't decide where to have dinner and happened upon another review and decided to give it a try. The food was incredible. We had the trout and the veggie lasagna for mains and the desert was the vegan chocolate cake and the caramel soaked cake with ice cream (can't recall the name). Both were amazing.

Had dinner at Bistro Ortus and really enjoyed it. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the vibe was relaxed but nice. Service was friendly and quick. Would definitely go back next time I’m in town.

Our dinner was absolutely incredible with each dish being a flavour explosion and presented so beautifully. We started with the Bison Carpaccio and the Quebec Three Cheeses. Our mains were the Quebec Trout and the Beef Tenderloin. An exquisite dining experience with excellent attentive service.

The service was great and fast.
I got the lunch menu which was a bio salad, really fresh and good taste!
Then I had the salmon tartar. The fish was good, therefor, there are lots of dill in the tartar, so if you dont really like dill, I do not recommend it for you. That little purée was tasty and sweet.
As for desert, i had the creme brûlée, really good as well!

An extraordinary brunch & gluten free as well. The place to go for anyone with Celiac Disease.
