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.

La décoration nous plonge dans une ambiance festive dès l'arrivée. Par contre, il faut s'armer de patience, l'attente est un peu longue, à la fois à l'extérieur & à l'intérieur. Le personnel est sympathique. Côté nourriture, c'était bon, mais les prix sont un peu élevés pour ce qui est offert. Cela reste tout de même une chouette sortie pour profiter de l'esprit des fêtes !

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.

The food taste delicious & the drinks as well, but the place really need more staff. I waited so long for my drink that even I finished my sandwich & my croissant before getting my drink. The staff are really nice but overwhelmed with so much things to take care of that they don't have time to check the order & clean the tables. It's a fact in holidays the place might be more crowded than usual but it makes harder enjoy the place with the crowd.

Super bel endroit, victime de son succès, il n'y a pas assez de place assise & manque de personnel, alors le service est long.. prévoir au minimum 35 minutes pour emporter & 45 minutes sur place avant d'être servis. Mon chocolat chaud n'était pas fameux, mais le moka est bon.

Oversold. I came with huge expectations, & i think it is a cute idea but it is actually a small place & it feels overwhelming. It is self-served, staff is very nice but it is clear the place is understaffed, so they are doing a lot of things & dont even have time to clean the tables which are really dirty. The menu for salty items is limited (bowls & sandwiches in a fridge & they will warm them up) & the drinks are super cute, but we waited 20 minutes for 1 cortado, 1 latte & 1 moka. You pay extra if you want it decorated. I could tell children really liked it but i wouldn't come back.

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

Je suis déjà venue & quelle surprise quand j'ai passé la porte aujourd'hui, la déco de Noël est vraiment féerique & les nouvelles recettes super originales ! Je recommande le ChocoMauve qui était très réconfortant & je repasserai tester les cocktails spéciaux de Noël avec des amis.

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 !
