Un endroit au combien parfait!!!
Nourriture succulente, cocktail délicieux, l'ambiance est fabuleux & le passionnel attentionné!! Le décor est vraiment un gros coup de coeur également!!!
Very lovely cafe, I was very pleasantly surprised by the brunch menu & the distinct flavors present in each dish.
This place was recommended to me many times, & I have to say it absolutely met my expectations.
The decorations was gorgeous, with many plants & wooden furnitures giving a casual but elevated look. Very comfy, very nice.
The food was albeit a bit pricey but absolutely delicious. My friends & I got the poached eggs, the corn tortillas & the waffle green olives, & we all loved our dish. I took the waffle green olives & I found it to have many flavors while being well-blended. It was honestly impressive!
I also found that it had many vegetarian options. It was not particularly well labeled on the menu but there are many!
The staff were also quite friendly & quick, all good on that front too. There was a lot more space than I expected; the place is quite spacious & can accommodate rather large groups. I would recommend making a reservation.
We walked over to Cafe Pavis for lunch on a Sunday. It is off a main road in a quiet side street, but you really can't miss it because it's quaintly decorated with many flower baskets, & has outdoor seating. The inside is much bigger than it looks.
Cafe Pavis has a variety of food on their menu & seemed to cater to many taste buds. We saw a lot of locals there as well.
We ordered the broccoli tofu salad (full portion) & margarita pizza to share. This was a good portion for lunch. The broccoli tofu salad used ramen noodles as the base. It was delicious! The broccoli was perfectly charred, the marinated tofu was thinly sliced, & the ramen was al dente. It had a mild flavor & was not heavy. The margarita pizza was classic, with a thin chewy crust, cooked in brick oven.
There is a lot of staff & the place is very casual. Cafe Pavis offers a full bar & coffee bar. Mimosas seemed to be very popular, which I suppose is expected given it was a Sunday.
Toujours une valeur sûre, que ce soit pour le brunch, le lunch ou le souper. Les pizzas sont délicieuses & les salades sortent toujours de l'ordinaire. La carte des vins est intéressante également. Emplacement parfait si vous avez envie d'un souper avant un spectacle à la Place des Arts. Décor magnifique.
Excellent food, fantastic service, & great ambiance! I would come back. Beautiful decor indoors & nice patio outside. I would maybe play some music outdoors as we couldn't hear the music indoors. This is a gem ☺?

4?? Conclusion & recommandations
Malgré une très bonne qualité des plats & une ambiance agréable, l'attitude d'une employée a eu un impact négatif sur l'expérience. Un service client bienveillant & respectueux est essentiel pour fidéliser la clientèle.
➡ Recommandations pour l'établissement :
• Sensibiliser le personnel sur l'importance du respect des clients & du langage corporel.
• S'assurer que chaque employé adopte une attitude professionnelle & accueillante en toute circonstance.
• Encourager un esprit de service axé sur l'expérience client & non sur le jugement.
⚠ Un excellent repas peut être terni par une mauvaise interaction, d'où l'importance d'un service irréprochable.
Nice spot to stop in for coffee & dessert in the heart of the Quartier Des Spectacles & Place Des Arts. We warmed up here on a cold December day & enjoyed relaxed atmosphere & decor.
