Le Coq Chantant draws mixed but largely favorable impressions, with many patrons praising fast, friendly service, a warm and charming atmosphere, and meals that often hit the mark, including standout breakfast items such as Eggs Benedict and homemade waffles, along with a pleasant river view that enhances the dining experience. Several reviews note good value and efficient service, while others mention menu quirks and occasional drawbacks such as items not meeting expectations, sauce separation, small portions with limited substitutions, or incidents like hair in a dish. Language barriers and occasional delays also appear in some visits, and a few comments point to heat and the lack of air conditioning during hot days. Despite these points, the location and overall hospitality are repeatedly highlighted, suggesting Le Coq Chantant remains a popular, well regarded breakfast spot with strong service and a picturesque setting, though consistency and attention to details could improve future visits.
I must preface this by saying I personally didn't eat here, as we stayed for less than 10 minutes. We arrived less than an hour before their closing time, but I made sure to ask if the kitchen was still serving, which they said it was. Upon entering the restaurant, we were instructed to take any table we wanted outside. Out of the 7 or so tables, three were occupied & two were covered with dirty dishes, so we had minimal choice. We chose the cleanest table out of the remaining ones & sat down. It took a minute or so for the waitress to come see us & she had a rag to wipe the table. In doing so, she brushed crumbs from the table onto my lap. Bad start. We were given menus, place mats, cutlery, & two mugs, then asked what we wanted to drink. While my partner took a coffee, I'm not a coffee drinker, but she left the mug in front of me, which I found weird. We looked over the menu for some time but nothing was catching my eye. Part of me felt bad that we would be ordering shortly before their closing time & part of me was turned off by the dirty dishes nearby, the crumbs brushed onto me, & their sticky plastic menus. We ended up paying for the coffee & leaving. My partner said the coffee tasted stale.
Bon déjeuner ! Assiette avec 2 oeufs , bacon, saucisses, jambon, petite patates, bines, cretons, toast, & une presque moitié de crêpes. Ne peut pas remplacer bines par plus de bâtons ou autres... C'était bon mais sans plus...

So friendly. Great little diner by the river. We had a very tasty & satisfying breakfast. The coffee could have been stronger for my taste but it was kind of classic diner coffee which some people prefer.
Golly gosh I loved this place!! We were looking for a nice little brunch spot that had a true Quebec vibe & this place met our expectations the food was delicious the service was so respectful & kind! Such a beautiful place to eat at

Tous nos fds à Tremblant, moi, mes soeurs & ma mère allons déjeuner au coq. Un superbe accueil à tout les fois. Un beau gros Au Revoir, merci. Chaleureux! J'adore. & milles mercis à toute l'équipe.
Nos assiettes ne sont pas arrivées en même temps donc l'assiette a mon chum était froide. J'avais commandé un pain blanc ménage j'ai eu des toasts de pain blanc un peu trop toaster & le serveur ne savait pas ce qu'était un pain blanc ménage. Le café goûtait l'eau mauvaise gestion je déconseille totalement 😡
