Les employés ne parlent pas français & ne comprennent pas si on commande en français.

Filthiest café I've been to. Tables were not clean, benches were sticky, staff did not care. I'm surprised this place is allowed to operate. The other branch on the same level & opposite end of the building looks much nicer. Some of the images shown here are actually from this other branch.

Wow, best experience ever, as tourists, we were picking up our rental car from the Palais des Congrès & decided to have lunch at Van Houtte. We all enjoyed the fresh & tasty food. Employees are kind, clean, energetic, & very helpful. We were served with a big smile. It is much more than a Coffee Shop! Highly recommended.

The pastry is fresh of the day, I recommend a croissant or a chocolate in the morning with a late night, they always have vegetable milk & it is a great option. Super recommended!
