Le babette - one of the best hot chocolates I've ever had. Also had a goat cheese waffle on the side which was both stunning & delicious. The staff were extremely warm & friendly. Overall, cozy vibes, pleasant ambiance & delicious food - highly recommended!

The only downside of Saint-Denis with Goat waffle is that once you try it, all other food loses meaning.

We went to Au Festin de Babette for brunch on a Sunday, & it was such a lovely experience from start to finish. My friend had called ahead to reserve a table for two - definitely a good idea, as the place is quite popular.

The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the Plateau. The ambiance is cozy & charming, & the service was genuinely warm & attentive. We both ordered the St-Denis brunch plate - a generous & beautifully presented dish with a waffle, poached egg, salad, gratin dauphinois, & a seasonal side (we had fresh fruit). It also came with a delicious chocolate mousse for dessert. Everything was tasty, but the gratin dauphinois was the star of the show!

Partway through, a friend of ours called after finishing a workout - she was starving & wanted to join us. The staff was incredibly accommodating & quickly arranged for us to move to a table for three. They welcomed her with a smile & served her promptly, which we really appreciated.

We ended up staying & chatting for almost three hours, & at no point did we feel rushed or unwelcome. That kind of relaxed, gracious service is rare & made our brunch all the more enjoyable.

Thank you to the team at Festin de Babette - we'll definitely be back soon!👌🏼

Coming to Montreal for three years every few months timing has never lined up until yesterday for a visit to Au Festin de Babette...It was truly worth the wait. I've always been drawn to it's curb appeal & signage alone. It delivered. Full force. My Husband, four year old & I were bewitched. The hot chocolate is decadent; thick, rich, creamy, & actually tastes like something other than just sugar. Our Server was not only charming but guided us with joy & passion through the tasting notes of the different Hot Chocolates like a true Gourmand. The food was sinfully delicious & a lesson in Brunch executed to perfection. Our savory waffles were a perfect balance of indulgence & actual nutrition- fresh vegetables, rich sauce & accoutrements without drowning you in it. The beet cream on my goat cheese waffle was sweet, unexpected, & truly delightful. I would give anything to have this cafe as my neighbor back home. The chef knew the perfect balance of teasing you with delightful flavors & portions that left you celebrating your plate versus being a glut. I (we) cannot wait to return to what I would dub Montreal's best hot chocolate, & a case study in unpretentious culinary genius. xo

Kind & attentive staff. High quality dark hot chocolate, several options up to 85% (very high quantity of chocolate). Gratin daupinois is superb. Worth every buttery calorie. Savory crepe forestierre/mushrooms filled with mushrooms,not skimpy. Chocolate waffle also excellent.

Came here for lunch with some friends on a Sunday - it was nice that they had available spots so we didn't have to wait in line. The outdoor patio is perfect during the summer. After we were seated, staff kept coming around our table to get our order when we already asked multiple times for additional time to look at the menu. I find the service to be rather questionable - they weren't even busy but they forgot my iced latte order, & was only brought over after I was halfway done with my meal. I also asked for more water for our table but they also forget & we never got our water refill. The hot chocolate is delicious, however I found the waffles to be somewhat just'okay'.
