If you're going for the vibe & full-on Christmas atmosphere, you'll love this place. It's an absolute Christmas explosion-& I'm completely here for it. Super cozy & heavily decorated, with something fun to look at in every corner. Pro tip: try to snag the couch facing the bar-it's the best seat in the house.
My friends & I (group of 4) went on a Sunday around noon & waited about 40 minutes. The line itself wasn't too bad, but it did seem like they prioritized groups of three.
As long as you know what you're signing up for (a long wait & overpriced drinks) & you're there mainly for the experience, you'll 100% love it. 🎄✨
Very cute Christmas vibes!
Food & drink wise not the best, however. I would recommend to avoid the gingerbread drink, it tastes exactly like a ginger shot & was not drinkable for me.
The hot chocolate was good, not too chocolatey & the marshmallow was perfect.
The pictures online are deceiving, everything is smaller than it appears. There's also no Christmas music, & the decorations are underwhelming, so the Christmas atmosphere is lacking.
We waited about 45 minutes in line to get into the bar, which honestly wasn't a problem. we expected it & were excited to go. Once inside, though, the service sucked.
It took another 35-40 minutes before we were even able to place our drink order, & then an additional 10-15 minutes after that to actually receive our drinks. Altogether, we waited close to 50 minutes just for service.
When I politely asked our waitress if she thought our drinks would be coming out soon, she walked away & rolled her eyes. Shortly after, I could clearly hear her complaining about my comment to another waitress. If you're going to talk negatively about customers, at least make sure they can't hear you.
Unfortunately, there was absolutely no Christmas spirit in her attitude. I guess every Christmas bar has a Grinch.
We were walking by & noticed this themed Christmas cafe, so we sat at the counter & got a smoothie & a coffee (both were just ok). After leaving I did some research & noticed that this place is quite viral online, & usually there's a huge line up & long wait to get inside. We didn't have to wait at all because it was earlier in the day I guess. I must say it really is just a tourist attraction.
Also a heads up, it seems most breakfast/ lunch options are only offered from a grab & go fridge. I was going to order a lox bagel but with all of the delicious warm fresh bagel places in Montreal, I refuse to eat a refrigerated bagel.
I get that it's cute & fun & festive, but their offerings aren't worth the wait if you get stuck in that lineup!
Super comfortable & cute, I loved the whole Christmas atmosphere, I would go again a thousand times more 🎄❤?
Really disappointed with my visit. I ordered two hot chocolates & waited over an hour, even though the café wasn't busy. I kept asking politely if my order had been forgotten & was ignored or answered rudely. After countless asks, someone finally realized the order had never been put in. I got my drinks almost twenty minutes later, paid full price, & the hot chocolate wasn't even good. Definitely not the Christmas spirit this place claims to have.
Giving 1 star for the atmosphere decorations - but the fact it wasn't all Christmas music being played kind of ruined that a bit.
Drinks where ok but way overpriced for what they were.
Waited 1.5h on a Saturday night then 10min once seated to have our order taken.
Food we asked the table next to us & they said skip it.
Overall if the food & drinks were better the place looks amazing!
We went there for the festive hot choco & it didn't disappoint. We got the dark chocolate version & it was still a bit sweet but it tasted delicious nonetheless.
The cafe was decorated with Christmas trimmings & it really gets you into the spirit of the season. It was a bit crowded & the line was long but it was not chaotic. The staff managed it very well.
What an amazing experience! The decorations are enchanting, the drinks are delicious, & the staff are incredible! I recommend anyone in the area to check this place out! It really gets you in the Christmas spirit!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at La Taverne de Noël, & I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles & a festive atmosphere that truly set the tone for the evening. The service was outstanding. Despite the restaurant being busy, the staff remained incredibly friendly & accommodating, ensuring that we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. Their attentiveness & professionalism really stood out, making us feel valued as guests. Now, onto the food-simply excellent! The chef did an incredible job, not only in terms of flavor but also in presentation. Each dish was beautifully arranged, showcasing the care & creativity that went into the preparation. It was a feast for both the eyes & the palate! Moreover, the Christmas decor was absolutely enchanting. The festive touches throughout the restaurant added to the overall charm & made our dining experience feel even more special. I highly recommend La Taverne de Noël to anyone looking for a delightful meal in a warm, welcoming environment. We left with full bellies & happy hearts, & we can't wait to return!
We've been looking forward to visiting with the kids but unfortunately won't be returning. The place is beautifully decorated & really gives you that cozy Christmas vibe. We expected & understood the long wait but the food & drinks were super disappointing. The sweets tasted stale, dessert wasn't fresh, the hot chocolates really didn't taste good. Our waitress forgot half of our order. Really not what we were hoping for!
Instagrammable Christmas atmosphere? Yes. Worth the 1 hour wait? Absolutely not. Our hot chocolates weren't particularly hot, most of the food was sold out (1pm), & beyond the decor it was super underwhelming. I had high expectations for the drinks, but tasted like a powdered package you buy at the grocery store. Service okay (understaffed). Still want to go for cute pictures? Go early!!
A delightful pop-up café fully immersed in the Christmas spirit! The menu is beautifully crafted with festive inspiration, offering unique treats that truly capture the holiday vibe. Special shoutout to the "Choco Mauve" hot chocolate-it's an absolute must-try & a hit with both adults & kids! I visited with my child, & we were enchanted by the cozy, magical ambiance. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get into the holiday spirit, better to go in the morning to avoid the line up.
Waited over an hour to get mediocre food & no service. They don't give you utensils, plates, or napkins unless you ask. You have to go get your own water too. The only decent thing was the drinks & the fun Christmas deco but even then it's still not worth it. If there's a line don't bother.
Very cute place. Perfect if u like Christmas. The holidays drink are ok.
The ambiance is stunning, it feels like you're inside a magical Christmas tree. The food was decent, with the poutine-style pizza being a standout. Our waiter was friendly & attentive, but the hostess was unprofessional & rude. When we asked for recommendations, she claimed it was her second day & hadn't tried anything. While that's understandable, her tone lacked professionalism & warmth. She refused to take a photo for nearby guests with attitude & rudely told others to return to their original table. When we asked for help with a cocktail my friend couldn't drink, she bluntly refused, though our waiter later fixed the issue kindly. As someone who has worked in restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining as a hostess myself, I was shocked by the lack of professionalism. Any interaction, no matter how small, can make or break a guest's experience. This behavior not only risks alienating customers but could also lead to negative word-of-mouth for the business.
Christmas in a cup! This place is beyond adorable & has overwhelming sense of holiday spirit. They have a raspberry hot chocolate & this drink called lait cocotte ( i think i spelled that right) that tastes like christmas cake in a cup with a chocolate & coconut rim. The decor is beyond crazy & definitely overwhelming to the senses but adds to the distinct atmosphere. Great place to get work done, i saw lots of people with their computers get work done & it seems like a genius place to do it
