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.

Nous y sommes allé vers 13:30, file d'attente à l'extérieur, menu très simple, service moyen. Ambiance laisse à désirée, on s'attendait à de la musique de Noël, mais non. Musique déprimante. Bon cocktail par contre & belles décorations.

Ok gang ! Oui l'attente est longue pour y entrer au mois de décembre & sais tu pourquoi ? Car ça s'appelle "LA TAVERNE DE NOËL" & que tout le monde veut y aller en décembre !!! Ils sont conscient qu'il fait froid & se préoccupent de leurs clients. C'est pas le gros char, mais ils sortent avec des boissons chaudes pour les personnes qui attendent. Bon ceci-dit, la nourriture est excellente, les boissons franchement cool & tasty. Pour ce qui est du service, nous avons un serveur hors-pair qui malgré tous les inconvénients de l'achalandage il a su garder son sourire. Petit conseil : N'essayez pas de scooper des tables en passant devant les personnes dans la fils d'attente pout toutes sortes de bonnes raisons. Quand tu attends longtemps à -22c ca fait suer sur un temps. Pis anyway, ils vont te sortir. Joyeux Noël. Super belle expérience malgré le -22c.

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!!

Avec 3 de mes amis nous avons vu cet endroit sur tiktok & avons décidé de venir l'essayer. Le décor de Noël était plutôt mignon & nous nous attendions à de fabuleux breuvages de Noël. Ce ne fut pas le cas. C'était dégoûtant, des biscuits jusqu'au chocolat chaud. Nous nous sommes dit que leur popularité ce démontrait probablement plus dans les cocktails de Noël & sommes partis déçu. Il n'y avait aucune organisation & je ne recommanderais pas cet endroit (même pas à un touriste). Il y avait énormément de temps d'attente pour quelque chose d'aussi décevant. Lors de notre visite, le personnel à dû couper des oignons & nous avons eu les yeux qui coulait puisque nous avons été contraints d'avoir la table en bord de plan de travail. Les breuvages commandés nous ont vraiment choqué, de par leur goût. Je ne pensais pas qu'il était possible de rater un chocolat chaud, nous n'avons rien dit puisqu'il y avait énormément de monde & que nous nous sentions mal à l'aise de nous plaindre pour un chocolat chaud. Nous avons été extrêmement déçu & avons regretter de ne pas avoir été à un autre endroit.

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

Great intricate decor, terrible organization. Unclear line placement. With the amount of people there it should be much more organized. I went on a Monday at 2pm & it was packed, which isn't a problem by itself, but given that, there should either more employees or clearer organization

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.

So there are places that you know are not going to be amazing but you go anyway. La Taverne de Noel manages to underdeliver above all expectations. We saw the reviews weren't amazing but decided to do it for the atmosphere. After waiting in line for 45 mins (at 2pm on a Sunday) we noticed that the main reason the line-up was so long was that the staff was so overwhelmed with running the place they wouldn't notice when people would leave, so we'd be staring at what were empty seats for 10 minutes straight. The drinks weren't amazing & the food available at that time was mediocre. All & all it was crowded & poorly managed, it felt like the main point is to squeeze as much money out of people's pockets as possible, with very little consideration for the quality of the experience. We're not going to go again, I would recommend avoiding unless you're a masochist or there is no line-up:). I saw the owner replies to these reviews, & I was under the impression that the feedback is taken into consideration but I was very disappointed to see that the bad reviews are very spot on & the replies be a cheap way of damage control. No ill comment towards the staff, they seemed to be doing the best they could given the situation.

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.

Expect a 45 mins to 1 hour wait on average to be seated. They didn't state on the menu that the kitchen was open only from 5, so I had to stay hungry. The cocktail was okay.

L'endroit parfait pour plonger dans la magie de Noël à Montréal ! La Taverne de Noël, ce bar éphémère de fête, est une véritable oasis hivernale. Dès qu'on franchit les portes, on est accueilli par des décorations festives & une ambiance chaleureuse qui nous rappelle les plus beaux souvenirs de fin d'année. Les cocktails sont créatifs, avec des touches d'épices & de canneberges qui mettent de bonne humeur dès la première gorgée. Mention spéciale pour le "Santa's Mule" & le chocolat chaud à l'érable - absolument délicieux ! C'est aussi l'endroit parfait pour une soirée entre amis ou en famille, avec une ambiance conviviale, des chansons de Noël, & même quelques surprises festives tout au long de la soirée. C'est rare de trouver un endroit où l'esprit des fêtes est si bien capturé. Bravo aux organisateurs pour ce concept féérique, à ne pas manquer pour tous les amateurs de Noël !

Yes cute place, but that's it .. the raspberry hot chocolate was terrible , & we ordered two of those , the one with coconut was ok I mean better than the other one but still not great , spending more than 50$ for our visit was definitely not worth it .. the service was terrible as well, asking for water to a guy at the counter & he seemed annoyed by me asking. Never again !

Very very disappointed. We came with high expectations but we ended up waiting two hours in line. It is unfortunate to wait that long, but at the same time it's understandable because the place is not too big. What was very disappointing though were the drinks! They were absolutely disgusting, we were a group of four & all ordered different cocktails with second rounds & not a single cocktail was good. One of them was so bad that I had to ask the waiter to take it out my bill because I couldn't even drink it. The place is beautiful & the staff very nice, but really really not worth it since the food & the drinks were very mid, I'm usually not a difficult person & I've never sent back anything, but that drink was just too horrible

Bonjour ,normalement je laisse pas de commentaire, mais cette fois je trouve important de mentionner un point après ma visite à la taverne de Noël qui est vraiment magnifique j'ai commandée un chocolat chaud des fêtes & trop figée comme une statut pour dire que je prends autre chose 9 dollars un minuscule chocolat chaud décoré de cane à sucre sur le rebord & trois guimauves mais vraiment 3 gorgées je trouve que c'est vraiment profiter des gens rendu là attiré de la clientèle avec une decoration digne du père Noël & leur faire payer 9 dollars vraiment déçue
