Not your average hot cocoa. I got the Babette, which was an amazing drinking chocolate with cardamom spice overtones. It was luxurious. Intoxicating, even. The shop is quirky, and was nearly empty on the snowy day we wandered in, but once that chocolate hit my lips I didn't even know which way was up.

Excellent Dark Chocolate Gelato! What I would expect from a chocolatier.

On y va pour les chocolats chauds et les crêpes... un régal !! L'intérieur est superbe, on se trouve réellement dans un vieux café français, qui sent bon le chocolat ! Prenez seulement une tasse de chocolat chaud : ce sont des vrais chocolats, qui tiennent au corps ! Les bols, c'est vraiment trop grand. Pour …

Charming and unusual

Last weekend was our second time having a relaxing brunch...it was wonderful both times. The owner is originally from Paris and it feels like Paris. Her son is the chef and the brunch was delicious. Another reviewer was disappointed in the service and I suppose if you are in a hurry it would not be the place to stop...they do... plus

Lovely cafe

We stumbled onto Au festin de Babette while walking down Rue St. Denis. What a quaint and lovely space! We had coffee and dessert and stayed there for a while while we planned where to go next.

Cute space, not big on culinary value. For the winter's months reduce the # of nice tables in the front room, and replace plastic chair and table in back. Hard to have the cozy designed experience of a French cafe when you are literally sitting on top of each other.

Vintage flare and great staff

Stopped in for a quick coffee and candy re-charge after walking on Rue Saint Dennis. This cute shoppe is filled with advertising and merchandising from yesteryear and the divided p space allows you to explore while enjoying your chocolate. Stop in and check it out!

This is a really cool little cafe. I don't get hot chocolate very often, but we were told by our friend that you have try the hot chocolate so we did and we were impressed. I don't remember the exact names of the hot chocolates but I know mines was 64% percent dark chocolate and it was definitely a very rich flavored chocolate. My wife's hot chocolate was a white chocolate with some spices that... plus

good hot chocolate, very poor service

i have visited on occasion over the past few years. the desserts and hot chocolate are delicious, but the service is terrible and seems to be getting worse. customers are ignored and then treated rudely when they request service. such a shame given the nice decor and good drinks, but it's simply not worth the visit!

This is such a lovely little cafe! Very quaint and cute atmosphere. It has a LOT of chocolates to choose from and the hot chocolate is delicious. I ordered Le Babette and it was amazing! A wonderful little stop to warm up while shopping along St. Denis. Remember to bring cash because they have a high minimum to charge on debit/credit.

Lovely space

Beautiful homy cafe with the best hot chocolate on St. Dennis. Great collection of gourmet products.

Loads of pastries, chocolates, cookies and gelato! This was definitely a find on Rue St. Denis. There are tons of little cafés, shops & restaurants on this being the most popular street of Montreal. Finding this little gem was a great way to end our stay. This cute and oh so comfy café was the perfect place to enjoy the city and by far, serves the best gelato that I've EVER had!
