Reviews portray La Taverne de Noël as a visually stunning Christmas pop up with a cozy, festive vibe that many praise for the decorations and atmosphere, while wait times outside and at ordering can be long and service is at times uneven. Food and drinks receive mixed verdicts, with some hot chocolates and treats described as delicious and seasonally charming, and others finding the menu overpriced or underwhelming, but the overall experience remains memorable for those seeking holiday ambiance and photo-worthy moments.
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
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 !
