Great bakery and breakfast
April 19, 2014
Great little restaurant. Fantastic breads. Very organic. Ask the owner and she can wax philosophic about how most places are killing flour. :-)
Great hot chocolate and coffee. Very friendly staff. Plenty of room. We didn't get dessert pastries but wanted to.

Don't miss a bit of Paris it if you're in the heart of Nanaimo
March 19, 2014There are actually several excellent spots to eat in this six block area of Olde Town Nanaimo, a downtown core that has been totally re-gentrified, re-thought and re-purposed as a safe, tiny cosmopolitan oasis....a wonderful refuge from Nanaimo's brightly lit, predictably boring chain-store malls. Badly in need of a satisfying coffee and light lunch, we discovered we had made a... more

Best coffee and croisants
January 11, 2014We love going to to this place for breakfast. They cook and bake everything from scratch right there where you can see it. Their cappichinos are excellent and the croissants incredible. My favorite is their pecan triangles. Take some home for sure. They have a small breakfast menu. And I'm sure lunch but we just go for breakfast.

A touch of France in Nanaimo
October 22, 2013The service was excellent as was the food. Their fresh-baked croissants and breads were superb, as were the lunch sandwiches and the chicken pot pie that was worth a return visit for a second lunch. My only disappointment was the Napoleon, which had tough pastry, though the filling was excellent.

Little Piece of Heaven
October 16, 2013While wandering around from the cruise ship on a day was rainy and foggy, we could smell fresh baked goods and followed our noses and found Mon Petit Choux. Upon entering we were challenged with what to order because everything looked and smelled so good. We were told by a friend that we had to try a Nanaimo bar. When... more

Yum! Nanaimo Bar Review Incoming
September 11, 2013As to the rest of Mon Petit Choux I cannot attest, however, the Nanaimo bar here is in the running for the best. The chocolate was delicious, atop a wonderful cream center. The grain at the bottom made into a delectable bed. All of this made for one of the best (I am still on a journey) Nanaimo bars in... more

Enjoyed a very good lunch
August 22, 2013An acquaintance on Gabriola Island recommended this place and its Tomato Tarte made with puff pastry and asiago cheese (about $7.50) served with lightly dressed salad greens. It was excellent! Also tried the interesting Carrot Ginger Soup ($2.50/cup) and an Americano which were both very well done. Interesting menu and customers ranged from old men reading the newspaper to young... more

Excellent....really
August 17, 2013There is now a good reason for me to breakfast in Downtown Nanaimo. I had an absolutely delicious breakfast plate. I don't often order scrambled eggs out because I am normally disappointed, but the topping of smoked salmon, whipped cream cheese and capers sounded interesting, so I thought what the heck. I was not disappointed. They were beautifully cooked, moist... more

Best Nanaimo Bar in Nanaimo
July 28, 2013
I have eaten all my life, never loved French cuisine So when I started the Nanaimo bar trail I was apprehensive about this one.
It was light and airy with serious taste and contrast. it was everything I wanted and nothing I didn't. Best Nanaimo bar in a Town called Nanaimo

Great food, great coffee, great staff
July 12, 2013Simple fresh food fast with a fresh French flair. My favourite meal is the scrambled eggs with creme fraiche & lox, hashbrowns, fresh fruit, and a piece of baguette. And a caramel latte.

Great surprise
June 09, 2013We traveled to Nanaimo, BC in search of a highly rated breakfast place that looked like a dump. So we opted for this place. What a surprise.

Best Nanaimo Bar in the City
May 29, 2013I stopped into Mon Petit Choux while visiting Nanaimo for a coffee and, of course, a Nanaimo Bar. The coffee was great and the Nanaimo Bar was the best that we had during our visit. While we did not try every place on the Nanaimo Bar Trail, we did visit quite a few and sampled each of the top ranked... more

Best Focaccia I've Ever Had
May 27, 2013Honestly these guys make the best focaccia bread around. It's authentic. None of this thick white bread with dried rosemary. It's thin, chewy, loaded with olive oil and a fine fleur de sel. It's amazing. They also keep stock up throughout the day, unlike most bakeries that have the motto of "once it's gone, it's gone". So you can drop... more

A Little Old World Flare in Downtown Nanaimo
March 09, 2013I simply love the fact that when I'm having a rough morning I can come here and they take care of me. With an atmosphere that is unimaginably un-Nanaimo Mon Petite Choux transports the best of Western Europe within walking distance of the harbor front. Every trip down town should at least have a coffee here, and really whoever is... more

Disappointing from the moment we walked in
January 06, 2013
We chose this spot for a light lunch by recommendation of a colleague. My girlfriends and I arrived and seated ourselves as no one paid any attention to us. But it would appear that "seat yourself" was the intended outcome anyway.
We sat and waited, finally a young blonde woman came by showing complete disinterest in us and obviously how...

luke warm lattes
January 05, 2013Stopped in after a walk along the waterfront, looking for a latte and some patries. Was surprised with the luke warm lattes. Ham and cheese croissant was burnt but their version of pizza was delicious. Bill came to over $40 with 2 lattees, 2 lunch items, a hot chocolate and 3 desserts.

Best Cappucinno and outstanding french pastries and food
November 29, 2012This is my favourite Nanaimo coffee shop / bakery / quick lunch or breakfast spot. The cappuccino is on par with anything in Vancouver; the sandwiches are always fresh and delicious - the Nicoise being my favourite. The breakfast options are great; the quiche so reliable. There is really nothing on the menu I don't like or haven't tried. The... more

Amazing coffee, great staff and a fabulous atmosphere
November 10, 2012Can't go wrong with breakfast, lunch or just coffee in this little Nanaimo gem. I heart independent business and this one gets everything right from the staff, service and quality of food and coffee. Thanks for raising the bar and quality casual in Nanaimo.

Attractive cafe, but with only average baked goods and food

August 01, 2012My eggs were perfectly scrambled--silky soft and tasty. The baguette that accompanied them had the texture and taste of homemade bread. There was a very nice berry compote to spoon on the bread. Yes, it was a very tasty breakfast. I do wish I'd taken a few of the baked goods with me for sampling later on, but was traveling... more

There is a choux
July 28, 2012To What a joke, the word choux is not an error, but the plural of chou, which usually means, literally, cauliflower, but is also used as an endearment. In the context of this restaurant, though, it obviously alludes as well to the less common meaning of chou, a kind of pastry. So there's a bit of punning going on here... more

Came here for a quick bite to eat after getting off the ferry before the 2+ hour drive to Ucluelet.
We ordered a latte and mocha. They were good, but not great. It could have been a smidge hotter, the coffee stronger, and the mocha could have had a stronger chocolate taste.
Food wise, we ordered the roasted chicken on...

April 04, 2012This is one of my favorite bakeries, and what luck it's in downtown Nanaimo, so close to the Coast Hotel and Downtown Convention Centre. Delicious desserts and French-inspired baking, and tasty coffees and lattes too! A gem.
