Desserts & Sweets Crêpes

Review Summary

Overall, Sour Bites is a popular dessert spot that draws crowds with visually striking, candy coated fruits, tanghulu skewers, Dubai chocolate and a wide range of verrines and other sweet treats that feel like a dessert experience as much as a snack. The vibe is playful and instagram friendly, with a clean, colorful space and music that adds to the mood. The service is frequently praised for friendliness, attentiveness and helpful recommendations, even during busy times, and the desserts are described as fresh, flavorful and indulgent. However, reviews flag high prices, sometimes inconsistent portions, and the occasional item that is overly sweet or not up to expectations, along with occasional stockouts and parking challenges. A recall related to Chocolat Dubai is noted in one message, reminding that availability and safety are important to check. On balance, Sour Bites seems worth trying for dessert lovers who want a fun, social dining moment and strong service, while understanding it is more entertainment than everyday snacking.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Chez Ernest is described as an incredible, eclectic space that feels like a museum of curiosities, with stunning decoration, a warm, lively ambiance, and a constant flow of events from swinging dance nights and improv shows to live music and comedy that keep the vibe upbeat well into the evening. The drinks scene receives high praise, featuring signature cocktails such as espresso martinis, a strong absinthe selection, and inventive small plates, while the decor and staff are repeatedly called charming and attentive, making it easy to linger and socialize.

Cuisine Formosa

Laval-des-Rapides Chomedey

Taiwanese Asian Bubble Tea Soups Grill

Review Summary

Reviews of Cuisine Formosa describe authentic Taiwanese flavors at good value, a friendly owner, and a relaxed vibe, with a mix of Taiwanese dishes and bubble tea including a ginger milk bubble tea that some travelers note as rare and well done. Some diners are disappointed by portions and how dishes look compared to online photos, such as hand cut braised pork not resembling the picture, a very small sausage serving perched on a mound of rice, and a braised egg rice roll that misses expectations, while the milk tea is often described as watery and the boba for some as over-chilled and firm. Other reviewers recall it as a wonderful hidden gem and suggest it for tasty, affordable Asian fare, praising authentic taste and the friendly atmosphere, and encouraging others to try the dishes and bubble tea.View restaurant profile

Café Peruvian Sandwiches

Review Summary

Overall, Café Chasca comes across as a cozy, roomy spot that suits studying or catching up with friends, offering a broad range of Peruvian inspired bites and coffee with many praising the espresso, matcha and pastries while noting that prices can feel high and some drinks can be inconsistent when prepared by staff in training. The atmosphere on the mezzanine and with large tables is conducive to quiet work, though wifi can be slow or unstable and a little background music could lift the mood from library like. The second floor is a plus for solo or group work, with plenty of outlets and a calm vibe, and the service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, though there have been a few disappointing interactions. Desserts and pastries receive frequent praise, and overall Café Chasca is a top destination for coffee lovers and students, with caveats about price, wifi reliability and occasional ambiance.View restaurant profile
