Café Larue & Fils

Review Summary

Café Larue & Fils draws praise for excellent coffee and a cozy, bright ambience, with first visits often loving the flat white and refreshing iced mocha on warm days, while the hot chocolate is repeatedly described as excellent with careful presentation and attention to detail. The staff are generally friendly and courteous, contributing to a relaxing vibe, though some reviews wish for a warmer welcome at the counter. Seating is limited and privacy can be lacking due to long tables, making it feel better suited for a quick coffee or take away rather than lingering. One location is described as less friendly than another and the decor could use an update, yet the overall quality keeps it among the top in the area and a must visit for many. Snack options are limited, but pastries and cookies are a big plus, and the atmosphere is often described as cosy and inviting.View restaurant profile

The kids menu offers only one option, with Caesar salad and noodles plus a sauce, and few other choices for families on limited time. Dishes mentioned include a burger that reviewers suspect is a frozen patty and a Bangkok style salmon smothered in a cheap bottle style teriyaki sauce, making some wonder if the price point justifies the quality.

Le Parva is described as having two cafe spots, one inside the library area near the books and another in the hall. The library location is praised for reasonable prices on drinks, including a latte made with Nutrinor milk, a Quebec product, but a November visit is noted for a long wait and a server who was not very friendly, while the hall location is seen as more interesting with generally good prices and solid portions. The cafe has long offered pastries made with local ingredients and options that were advertised as vegan, vegetarian and gluten free, but a pastry chef change a few months ago led to the disappearance of popular cakes, leaving bakery items that are not vegan or gluten free. Sandwiches can take longer if warmed, but a top barista who knows regular orders adds to the appeal and encourages repeat visits.View restaurant profile

Reviews for Crabtree Pizzéria converge on excellent pizza and strong service, with takeout being the primary mode and not really a place to dine in; the crust is crispy and thin, the cheese good quality, and the sauce solid, while the all dressed style with bacon and onions is especially tasty. Some diners shared three slices each for two people, and bacon is praised for generous slices rather than small bits. The fries accompanying orders are large and initially satisfying, though one note mentions they were a bit undercooked. The restaurant is clean and orders arrive quickly, fresh, when picked up, and the staff receives praise for service. Price is a common caveat, described as expensive for the quality, and there is limited combo variety beyond the all dressed pizza; still, the experience is regarded as worth trying, particularly for bacon lovers, and one reviewer ranks the spaghetti sauce among the best ever tasted.View restaurant profile
