Lovely meal on a cold day

We discovered this lovely spot on a very cold day in February. We needed a late lunch in a cozy room and this restaurant delivered both needs. We enjoyed the Paris atmosphere, the servers were prompt and pleasant and the food was very good. I had an omelette and my husband had a delicious home-made soup. No crowds on this... plus

Very bad atmosphere

We were a group of eight and we went there for a dinner. The service was very bad, waiters are not friendly, no air condition, no music, we loved the food but the atmosphere in general was very bad. Before we pay the bill, the waiter came to us and say that for a table of 8 people an appropriate... plus

A Delightful Lunch on a Rainy Day in June

On a rainy day in late June, we were as hungry as wolves, so being in the Laurier West neighbourhood, we decided to stop at La Petite Ardoise. We hadn't been there in ages. We arrived at around 1:30 p.m. and most of the noon patrons had finished. Our waitress was delightful and our meals (light noon-day fare) exceeded our... plus

Neat French Bistro

We loved the food and the atmosphere of this wonderful French bistro. The menu was in French only, but our server was very helpful in translating as needed.

I highly recommend that place ! The food was amazingly good...but they have a slow service !!!

A nice place to eat a fancy light lunch. The ambiance feels relaxing and inviting. Nice place to hang out around a couple lates.

What a delight! Bistro faire extraordinaire. The serveur was patient enough to endure my (kindergarten) Francais, as we enjoyed a most pleasurable meal with first rate--home style desserts. Bon appetite !

About breakfast: We used to love the French atmosphere and kitschy-but-cute menu here, but after our visit today, we will likely not be back. Menu simplified (less breakfast options, less crepes), and the quality was not at par. Prices seemed to stay the same ($9 - $16), but no longer include a glass of OJ like before. Portions were smaller. For $11, I received a thick galette au sarrasin the... plus

Go elsewhere

We used to go there a couple of times a year but the last 2 times we went, we were very disappointed. The last time we went there, we waited an hour before our plates were brought and the waitress didn't apologize. People that arrived several minutes after us got their food way before us. There was even a waitress... plus

I live nearby and eat here at least once a week. Service is always relatively prompt and very friendly. Beautiful garden out the back. Food is of a very high quality - like everywhere, when it's very busy, sometimes there are mistakes - send it back! I like this place a lot.

We're from this neighborhood and are always seeking a great place for breakfast. We thought we'd try this place as I've always been intrigued by the quaint french bistro exterior and the brunch menu "seemed" fantastic. Was I ever wrong...first of all there were more tourists on the terrace than locals so that was a bad sign. I ordered basic poached eggs with bechamel sauce topped with spinach... plus

Indigestible

It looks nice, the waiters are nice, but the food is indigestible. It took hours for the stomach ache to go away.
Don't go here!

Delicious French Brunch

My husband and I stumbled upon this place while trying to avoid Eggspectation and waiting for Dieu du Ciel to open. It was absolutely packed at 12PM on a Saturday. We were lucky to get a high table in the bar area immediately. The mimosas were wonderful and made with fresh squeezed OJ. All of the dishes on the menu... plus

Looks nice but nothing special

Cute little neighborhood restaurant. My companion had salad nicoise which was good. I had eggs benedict which was way too salty and otherwise tasteless. The potatoes looked like they had been reheated and were hard little cubes. I sent it back and was told I was wrong, that there had been other people who liked it. They said if I wanted another dish they would charge me, so I didn’t bother. The... plus
