Overall, Rebelle Bistro is described as a warm, intimate French-inspired spot with a charming decor and a welcoming terrace when weather permits. The food earns high marks for flavor, quality, and careful preparation, with favorites like onion soup and bavette highlighted, though a few notes mention portions that feel small for the price. Service is frequently praised for friendliness, attentiveness, and professionalism, even on busy nights, while a minority report slower evenings or occasional gaps in coordination. Ambiance is consistently described as cozy and inviting, sometimes lively or a bit noisy due to groups, and some reviews note that large windows can make the dining room feel chilly in winter. Many reviewers consider Rebelle Bistro a local gem and a go-to dining destination, appreciating the wine list and the overall experience, while a few comment on value or menu variety and seasonal limitations.
We had a dinner of 2 steak tartare, a bottle of wine & a dessert. Service was ok although our server did not once poured wine in to our glasses, the food was ok but not memorable. The salad had absolutely no dressing. We paid 195$ including the tip. We found it overpriced for what it was & the neighborhood , but I guess times have changed. Will not be going back, just not worth it.
Belle ambiance Bistro, bonne bouffe mais peut être un peu cher par contre pour l'ensemble. Service ok mais on avait le sentiment d'être « pressé » un peu. Pas beaucoup d'option sans alcool.
What an amazing night at Rebelle Bistro. Warm & cozy, during a snowy evening. Just another night for Chef Antoine & his team but how special for anyone who walked in that door for a good meal. This is by far, our favorite local resto! I can never take my eye off of the beautiful classic Hofner base guitar, hanging near the bar. Cheers to you & the team Antoine.
Beau souper de Saint-Valentin , service rapide & courtois, avons été reçu par M. Antoine lui même ce qui dénote un bon souci de sa clientèle. Repas très bon surtout la bajou WoW !
Been here a few times now & it's definitely becoming a local go to! Their menu isn't big but there are good options & it's always delicious - usually the same very friendly server.

Mon mari & moi avons passé une belle soirée en amoureux au Bistro Rebelle. Toutefois nous avons trouvé le repas un peu dispendieux pour ce que c'était (1 verre de vin blanc, 1 bière, une entrée de chèvre chaud partagée, 2 bavettes & 1 bouteille de vin rouge pour 215$). La qualité de la nourriture était bonne, cuission de la bavette très bien & le tout était chaud. Le service était rapide.
Au niveau de l'ambiance toutefois il faisait très froid puisqu'on est l'hiver & que le restaurant dispose de très grandes fenêtre. Les chaises en bois ne sont pas confortables. En général ce n'était pas très'cozy'. Je propose d'ajouter un crochet à la salle de bain pour y mettre manteau/sacoche ainsi que des petites lampes ou chandelles sur les tables. Des rideaux ou voilage aux fenêtres pourraient également ajouter à l'atmosphère. Nous y retournerons certainement cet été !
Went for dinner at the bar, service was amazing the server Anne-Marie was very kind & lovely.food was great had the French onion soup was warming on a snowy night. & the hanger steak with grillled veg & polenta. Steak was cooked perfect. Would return 100%
