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.
Unfortunately, we were disappointed from our last visit where it was 5 stars across the board. Firstly, we requested seating for 7pm & were advised that time slot was not available but 7:30pm was available & we accepted. On the same day of reservation was messaged that there was a cancelation & original request time was available now & if we wanted original time. We accepted once again. We were really looking forward to enjoy our experience & food as last time. Firstly, when we arrived the restaurant was not packed & didn't understand why our first time was refused as there was plenty of seating. Onion soup was lacking cheese & seemed smaller than last time. Calamari was a smaller portion than the customers beside us & overcooked & oily. The maple themed tomahawk pork chop was a bit dry & only 4 asparagus on the plate. Last time there was at least 9 as per photo taken the previous visit. We also ordered pasta Gigi, which is one our favorite pasta dishes. For the price of $30, we were surprised as the portion was small. It was more of a kid size plate. It was lacking a bit of flavor & not one our favorite. Also where we were seated, there was a vent at our feet & constant cold air coming out making it uncomfortable. Sorry for this review but the ball was dropped on this visit. Hopefully, the food quality & experience returns to how it was on our visit. Thanks
J'aime beaucoup cet endroit, très bonne nourriture, bel accueil & chaleureux. Cependant, peut être parfois bruyant étant donné le petit endroit, & les prix un peu élevés selon le plat choisi. Mais bon restaurant si le budget le permet.
The service is friendly & professional. The food is always delicious & fresh. It is our go to place, & we
love it there. The ambiance is warm & inviting. You will not be disappointed.
An excellent spot not far from home, intimate with limited seating, thoughtfully decorated, white linen quality, spotless presentation. Menu is brief, but carefully thought out & adjustments to the plates are welcome if need be. You will feel welcome & appreciated at either a lunch or dinner occasion.
Soupe à l'oignon fade, ma bavette était froide dans mon assiette & pas très tendre. Mon assiette était servi avec Patate dolphinoise & légumes grillés (piments), je suis cétogène depuis 7 ans, alors j'ai demandé de me remplacer ces 2 choix par une salade, j'ai eu quelques feuilles avec huile balsamique 😳 je trouve pas que le prix était en conséquence de la salade que j'ai reçu.
Excellent food despite a limited choice on the menu. Entrees & main course were excellent so was the wine. First sitting stats early & gives you only two hours to complete your meal. We were a bit surprise to get our entrees relatively quickly but the main course was served a full hour after sitting giving us only one hour to finish our meal including dessert/coffe & sip our wine while having discussions with friends. Overall a good experience, good food, service & wine selection, if only a bit pricy.

We were the last seating at 7:45 therefore one of the main courses (duck confit risotto) was a little dry but overall the food was excellent as has been our experience in the past. Great service & good atmosphere, even with a picture frame falling off the wall just behind my wife.
Belle déco, mais le service pourrait être un peu plus sympathique. Quoique le proprio m'a rappelé suite à mon commentaire, donc on voit que ça lui tient à coeur & j'ajoute une étoile.
La nourriture était ok, rien de WoW, quoique la Salade de chorizo en entrée était vraiment bien. Le tartare de boeuf en plat principal était bien, celui au saumon était très acide.
J'ai été déçue par le fondant au chocolat. Une mini quenelle de crème glacée commerciale avec un fondant de la grosseur d'un two bit pour 15$, cela a terminé notre souper pour 2 à 220$ sur une plutôt note décevante.
Je leur conseille de revoir leur offre pour les desserts.
Déçue de notre 1ere visite nos attentes étaient élevées mais malheureusement ce n'était pas à la hauteur. Pas vraiment un bon endroit pour un souper en amoureux car vraiment très bruyant & petit. Plus adapté pour une souper entres amis. Rien de super pour le souper pour le prix. Très ordinaire. Le service était bien par contre. On n'est peut-être pas tombée sur une bonne soirée ou le meilleur menu.
