Au Bout de L'Isle feels like a warm, cozy local spot with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. The menu covers breakfast, brunch and light meals, plus a solid ice cream and gelato selection, all at reasonable prices and with a charming decor that many find cute. Guests appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, the views from the window or balcony, and the chance to enjoy a leisurely morning or a canal stroll. It suits families and cyclists, and is often described as worth visiting and a reliable favorite for regulars. Some reviews note slow service during busy times, small portions, and a few facility issues such as the restroom and air circulation, suggesting the place is still finding its focus. Overall the experience is positive, with good coffee, hearty breakfasts, and a homey, comfortable setting that invites return.
I recently moved to Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue & came across this charming spot while walking through the village. The atmosphere immediately felt warm & welcoming.
I first visited on my own, & it was the perfect place to relax, enjoy a good meal, & take in the vibe of the area. The staff were incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better.
I later brought my boyfriend with me, & we both really enjoyed it. It's such a great little place, & I'll definitely be coming back!
Accueil toujours excellent, tout est tres bon à chaque fois, ambiance vraiment agréable, très propre, jamais déçu! Nous recommandons cette place, les propriétaires sont très sympathique.

Had lunch, food was delicious & great service, cute space to eat. I got the tuna melt & the Russian Tsar sandwich & they were exceptional. 10/10 would recommend
Great service & welcoming staff. The ambiance is warm. The food is great & the decoration is so cute. Definitely worth visiting. I had a nice experience the two times I visited!
My favourite spot for ice-cream in the neighbourhood! & occasional breakfast. The staff is very friendly. We love to enjoy a leisurely morning here on occasion as part of a stroll through the city & the canal. A sweet local spot with authentic atmosphere.

Un immense coup de coeur pour Au Bout de l'Île. Le service est exceptionnel & la bonté du propriétaire, Oscar, m'a profondément touchée. Il est tellement aimable & attentionné. On se sent accueilli comme chez soi. Merci Oscar pour cette belle expérience. Je recommande ce restaurant à 100 % !
Went on a very busy weekend. Didn't get coffee for 45 minutes & hour & a half for food, small portions & nothing to talk about. Wasn't servers fault, management just don't care!
Only one very busy bathroom.
I can only judge based on their breakfast but this place seems like it's not quite sure what it wants to be. Breakfast eggs were fine, but it was downhill from there. Sausage was not a breakfast sausage. There was an attempt at serving potatoes as grits but they seem to have had been bathed in instant onion soup beforehand. Value was good though for the price paid, as was the service.
Café-Bistro is not bad all in all. The main problem seems to be a lack of attention regarding the only restroom, which is definitely not enough (toilet doesn't work properly ir not at all, hand tissue - if there is - is put on soaky counter instead of replaced in its unit. We used to come more often & stopped going for a while, thinking they'd improved the facilities & removed their old & super stained carpet. Unfortunately, they didn't, & it became worse. One other comment we made to them years ago concerns the lack of air circulation. The only fan is in their larger dining room & hardly supplies enough air. It is very unpleasant to stay inside during the summer. The terrasse is nice; but again, there are not enough umbrellas! Let's hope they'll try their best & go ahead with those little, but important though not so much expensive improvements 😉
After a long cycling, I wanted to have a latte in this small cute city. The Google maps recommended me this place & I give it a try. The place looks cozy & unique with the old style house. There are do many of ice cream & gelato selection inside. There's also a breakfast & lunch selection for those that want to have a meal in the morning & afternoon. The Latte taste good, although a little bit watery, but their ice cream was good (forgot to take a picture). The outside balcony is also nice for those that ride a bike to here & alone, & also want to keep an eye for your bike for those that don't bring any bike locks.
