Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe La Taverne de Noël as a magical, heavily decorated Christmas setting that draws crowds for photos and vibes, but the experience is very uneven. The decor and festive atmosphere get top marks for being cozy and instagrammable, with enchanting details and holiday music that some reviews later note not always present. Long waits outside in the cold and a crowded interior are commonly mentioned, as is a lack of clear service organization and a no table service format that makes ordering feel slow and impersonal. Drinks are praised by some for being tasty and atmospheric, including hot chocolate with marshmallows and a range of seasonal cocktails, yet others find them overpriced, underwhelming, or too sweet or cold. The food ranges from surprisingly delicious pizzas and desserts to items described as mediocre or reheated, with some menu items unavailable at times. Overall, La Taverne de Noël offers a undeniably festive and photogenic experience that many visitors enjoy with friends and family, but timing, crowd management, and inconsistent quality mean it may disappoint those seeking a reliable, high quality meal.

Reading everyone's experiences, I expected a long wait, but actually we waited only about 15 minutes & I loved the decor & the drinks! The pizza was yummy too. The service wasn't the fastest but why go to a café if you're in a rush.

Bravo. & que dire, que dire sans parler de Clément ; un cuisinier au sommet de son art, des pizzas dignes de NAAAAPLE, (je reviens en échange d'italie donc je coco les bhays), des hotdogs je me croyais aa time square, c'etait un des meilleurs moment de ma vie, merci le petit dep, merci la vie

The ambience was very festive, decoration gets most of the stars. Some of the themed drinks were good, some others tasted like not much. There were a lot of people working, not very clear who our server was as they would often vanish & we had to really get their attention to order (they seemed a bit lost, we did give them grace). There was a line outside, so it made it more confusing as to why it took so long for us to order anything & then even longer to receive our orders. Now get this. We are finishing our pizzas (they were OK). More drinks are supposed to be on their way. & then suddenly, a waitress comes to pressure us to wrap up because people are waiting. The sense of sudden urgency was a little unsettling, maybe tell your team to be more efficient? So I explained my side. We've been there for 2 hours, half of that time was us waiting to order & then waiting for our orders. & we are waiting for 3 drinks. The woman apologized.

I'm not one to write bad reviews, but have I not seen how third of their team was not proactive at all, & then receiving negative energy because of THEIR poor staff management was not okay.

Préparez-vous à attendre pour ce petit restaurant. Nous savions déjà que ça allait être le cas, donc pas de surprise de ce côté.

Les drinks étaient bcp moins festifs qu'on aurait aimé, & la pizza poutine… que dire de la pizza poutine. Pas mauvaise en soi, mais lorsqu'on s'attend à ça, on risque d'être déçu. Ça ressemble plutôt à une pizza style'raclette' avec du fromage peu goûteux.

Sinon, le service était super rapide & on a aimé l'expérience en général, mais n'arrivez pas là avec de grosses attentes.

Après 1h d'attente un vendredi en fin d'après-midi dans un froid polaire, nous avons pu accéder à l'intérieur du lieu dont la décoration en met plein les yeux(les fans de déco comme moi dirons que l'ensemble est kitch). Nous avons dégusté chacune une boisson chaude & une pizza qui contre toute attente était succulente (total de la note 50$). Vraiment si vous voulez déguster un bon chocolat chaud (ou un vin chaud pour les adultes) à prix raisonnable, je ne vous recommanderai pas ce lieu mais à faire 1 fois why not surtout avec des g̶r̶a̶n̶d̶s̶ enfants fans de la magie de Noël

We came here after a hockey game the night before & stood in line for almost an hour. A woman came out & spoke in French & told us they would close the shop within the hour. We decide to stop by at a different time the following day. The next day was a rainy one, it was a 5 minute wait. The full menu was not yet available that time of day. Baked goods, hot bevys & cocktail only in the afternoon. I enjoyed the Le Grinch drink (it was like a big shot). Hubs had a hot chocolate & some kind of cookie. Festive decorations everywhere. The restroom needs some attention. It did not have paper towels & almost noTP. I did alert them of that. If we travel to Montreal again I would like to try the pizza. It smelled so delish the night before when we didn't get in.

I went on a Monday night but the wait time was around an hour. The waiter was really kind but they are severely understaffed. We tried a couple of items on the menu, the raspberry hot chocolate was really watery & underwhelming. We also tried the alcohol free eggnog- that one was acceptable but nothing exceptional. The pizzas were really bad we threw them away we got the Mtl fume & the la douceur des champs. The pudding chômeur was dry & inedible. The ambience is nice tho, worth a visit maybe with less crowd but I would not come again. It was really expensive for the quality of the food/drinks

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.

Habitué du café, je n'avais pas vu que Le Petit Dep s'était transformé pour le temps des fêtes ! J'étais venu boire un café mais quand j'ai vu la carte adaptée pour l'occasion & la nouvelle décoration je suis finalement resté pendant des heures ! Mention spéciale pour la pizza la Belle Province & le Chocomauve, un vrai délice !
