La Cigale - Ottawa

As someone with Celiac disease, I have visited this restaurant multiple times for ice cream and have never experienced any issues. They have a specific protocol in place for customers with allergies, which I really appreciate. The ice cream is delicious, with many gluten-free flavors available. The staff is also very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place!

When ordering at this restaurant, they had a list available to double check if flavors contained gluten. They also immediately explained their safety procedures, such as using fresh gloves, a freshly washed scoop, and a new container from the back. They offered a gluten-free cone option as well. The ice cream was delicious.

The ice cream at this restaurant is fantastic and they offer a wide variety of gluten-free options. If you inform them of a "serious allergy" to gluten, they will take necessary precautions such as using fresh gloves, scooping ice cream from new containers that haven't been contaminated by other flavors, and using a fresh scoop. They do not have gluten-free cones, so you will need to have your ice cream served in a cup.

On our way home from camping, we were thrilled to discover that the vegan options at this family-owned restaurant have greatly increased. There were 5-6 delicious choices to choose from. The safety precautions were excellent, with plenty of parking and an outdoor eating area at the back. We will definitely be returning!

The vegan ice cream and baked goods were on the menu. I decided to order an apple fritter and was assured that it would be made fresh upon ordering. However, after waiting for half an hour at our table, we realized that our order had been forgotten. When I went to pay at the counter, I was still hungry and had to leave without my food. It is worth noting that there were only a few other customers in the restaurant.
