Sapristi

There are two Sapristi locations in Quebec City and we enjoyed both of them. Sapristi is located in Upper Town (Haute-Ville) and Sapristi Champlain is located in Quartier Petit Champlain. Both are very touristy areas, but have outdoor seating, delicious food and are very accommodating to gluten free diners. With 2 Celiacs in our family, our dining choices are always narrowed down for us. Sometimes this crosses all Italian food off the list, but Sapristi really came through for us.
