At Café Terrasse 1957, reviews highlight a beautiful terrace, a pleasant vibe, and friendly service that many describe as professional, with good coffee and refreshing drinks; the location is praised, especially in summer when the street is pedestrianized, and the spot is seen as a good place for a casual drink with friends or a late night out on the south shore; dining experiences vary, with some meals called excellent or solid and a simple burger rated well by some, but others report uneven kitchen quality, slow service, and missteps such as starters arriving late, a BLT that tasted flat or lacked proper tomatoes, and a dessert that was extremely sweet; some reviews mention that value is not always strong and the menu can fall short of expectations, while still noting that the sangria is light and refreshing and that the overall atmosphere can be charming; overall the place is viewed as a local institution with a compelling terrace and a vibe, yet experiences can be inconsistent and caution is advised around food quality and timing.View restaurant profile

Magia Restaurant & Garde-Manger

Opens Tuesday at 5 pm

(208)

Vieux Longueuil, Longueuil

Italian Bistro Gluten-free Options

Review Summary

Magia Restaurant & Garde-Manger is widely praised for its warm ambiance, attentive service, and flavorful Italian-inspired cuisine. Guests describe the lively inside and the pleasant terrace, the strong wine list, and dishes such as Osso Buco, pasta, and risotto that are often described as delicious and generously prepared. The experience is highlighted as welcoming for both groups and intimate dinners, and the staff is noted as charming, professional, and capable of enhancing the meal during events. However, some dishes disappoint: one salad with spinach, goat cheese, onions and potatoes is criticized for being bland and small, and a few pasta orders arrive undercooked or with sauces that feel heavy from oil and butter. Occasional service delays are mentioned, especially for larger groups, and a few patrons feel the value does not always match the price point. The restaurant is regarded as a standout option in Longueuil, with summer pedestrian street access and a nice terrace, though hours can be limited on Sundays. Overall, Magia stands out for flavor, hospitality, and a genuine Italian vibe.View restaurant profile

Bistro Pastries Sandwiches Salads Vegetarian Gluten-free Options

Review Summary

Avril Supermarché Santé is seen as a bright, clean, and well organized market offering a broad range of health oriented products, including organic groceries, natural cleaning supplies, cosmetics with natural henné and dyes, plus a surprising selection of jewelry, books and accessories. The experience is described as pleasant overall, with friendly staff, quality products, and good after sale service; promotions help keep prices competitive despite being higher on the whole.

Overall the epicerie is a top choice for healthier living, with plentiful natural products and attentive service, though occasional gaps in guidance and price tension are noted.View restaurant profile

Dur à Cuire

Opens Today at 6 pm

(813)

Vieux Longueuil, Longueuil

French Bistro Market Tartare

Review Summary

Reviews of Dur à Cuire show a blend of high praise and mixed experiences. Diners praise the menu's creativity, the vibrant casual bistro atmosphere, fast service, and the option to bring your own wine, with highlights such as a beef cheek and other strong dishes, plus desserts that hit the mark. The noise level is described as lively but workable, and several visits leave guests eager to return. However, common criticisms also surface: bread and some dishes arriving lukewarm, small portions for the price, and higher prices for starters and seafood; paella in particular draws mixed verdicts, with some servings far from the online photos. Online menus not always matching what is plated on site adds to the frustration for some. A number of reviews note a decline after a change in ownership, citing a limited menu, less attentive or warmer service, and a sense of diminished consistency, though a few still speak positively and recommend another visit.View restaurant profile
