L'Insolite - espace gourmand is described as a bright, welcoming spot with a huge glass wall and a convenient location directly near the PIE IX metro with outdoor access, making it easy to sit and enjoy; the atmosphere is praised for daylight and a comfortable ambiance, even in winter, with friendly service that pays attention to details. Coffee is often highlighted as good and the space many reviewers say is worth visiting, with some noting that each visit is a pleasure and the space has impressive fenestration. On the other hand, complaints include muffins and croissants that are undercooked, and reports that much of the food is premade and not always great; a chai iced tea is said to be disappointing, tasting like milk with no real flavor, and there is a remark that a cafe bistro style place should know how to infuse tea. Some reviewers also mention the location near the Biodome and planetarium as convenient, but overall food quality is viewed as variable despite the attractive setting.

Note: ne pas commander de Chaï glacé à cet endroit car vous serez déçu. Ça goute juste le lait froid, aucune saveur. Quand un endroit style café/bistro ne sait même pas comment infuser un thé..!

Paninis were ok...one chicken one pork...shrimp poke bowl was ice cold & lacked any flavour. It's really this or the cafeteria in the Biodome unless you want to walk over a kilometer. It's a better choice than that from what we saw. Service was ok, but the whole place was staffed by one young woman...so a bit slow...not her fault, as she was alone.

Wonderful cafe located in the Olympic Stadium! I went to work there for a few hours. New management is very friendly. Definitely worth a visit, we need more cafes like this in the area. 🙌☕️
