Rendez-Vous is described as an intimate, welcoming spot with a warm bar area and attentive service. Guests praise fresh pasta, focaccia, salads, and seafood along with a helpful wine list. Renovations have brought a livelier dining room and more seating, contributing to a refined yet cozy atmosphere that many find ideal for a date night. While a few dishes are noted as tasting lukewarm or having smaller portions for the price, the overall impression is of a hidden gem with thoughtful staff and a menu that delivers consistent quality and a memorable experience.
Absolutely terrific, gorgeous decor, sublime ambiance & exceptional food. This is the real deal. Tried the new spring menu & it blew my socks off. Focaccia bread to start paired with a tuna crudo. Flavour balance was achieved & dipping the bread in the oil from the crudo was the cherry on top. Golden beet salad was splendid. Onglet with pommes frites delivered, the kitchen did a terrific job. 100% will be coming back. This place is the truth !! olive oil cake was out of this world. unbelievable service. this restaurant is wicked neat.
Pros: great service, attentive but not overbearing, & delicious food
Cons: my friend & I shared an appetizer & each ordered a main course, & I left hungry. My fish was very good, but there was very little to eat with it, just a tiny swirl of vegetables & 3 minuscule halves of baby potato. When I requested bread, I was told that the restaurant only had focaccia (at a cost). Foccacia be nice, of course, but it's hardly a bread to eat as an accompaniment to a rich dinner.
Pros: Pointe Claire Village is sweet on a spring day!
Cons: the noise level was unbearable. My friend & I were leaning across the table, trying to hear each other. We left without dessert.

Excellent food, well worth the visit.
It is a very intimate restaurant with only a couple of tables & some seats at the bar.
The service was great, there when you need them but not overbearing.
I had the focaccia, burrata & cavatelli in a white ragu sauce. I would recommend them all. The ragu was a 10/10. The dessert was also good- an olive oil cake with mascarpone whipped topping. It was very good- just not my favourite kind of dessert & it was the only choice.
I would highly recommend this restaurant & will be going back.
What a gem in Pointe-Claire village! We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious pasta dishes, salads & focaccias! The wine selection was lovely, our server did a great job explaining & recommending them to us. Will absolutely go back again!
Delicious food & beautiful decor! I had the focaccia, the tuna crudo & the gnocchi with burrata. 🤤I was too busy enjoying the food to even take picture!
Première visite pour nous hier soir & super surprise. Service jeune & souriant, ambiance parfaite pour un rdv amoureux où tout le monde est assis autour du bar mais'dans sa bulle'. Belle recommandation de vin & supers spag' al vongole & gnocchis au gorgonzola. Mention spéciale pour la focaccia chaude (miam…). Nous reviendrons !
Run don't walk to this quaint little spot that offers quality & fresh ingredient menu choices that are absolutely delicious . Hans was absolutely amazing & helped us chose the perfect cocktails & menu .
We had the summer salad & it was perfectly dressed & the fresh focaccia . Followed by the bucatini with shrimp & the grilled octopus was perfect .

This was our first visit to Rendez-Vous, & what a beautiful surprise it turned out to be. I had originally called to book a table at their sister restaurant, Lou's, which was fully booked. The owner kindly suggested we try Rendez-Vous instead-& I'm so glad we did.
After making the reservation, I looked up the menu online & was disappointed to see there wasn't much that suited my dietary restrictions. I called back to cancel, explaining the situation. That's when I spoke to Jono (hope I'm spelling that right!), & his response left such an impression. He simply said,'Come in-we'll make something for you.' That kind of hospitality is rare, & it convinced me to keep the reservation.
When we arrived, we checked again if Lou's had any availability (still full), so we made our way to Rendez-Vous, where we were greeted by Lenny, a warm & bubbly hostess who instantly made us feel at home. The space is intimate-only about 20 seats-so it's cozy, quiet, & perfect for a relaxing dinner.
We started with the salads & the house focaccia, both fresh & delicious. My husband had the seabass for his main, which he really enjoyed-cooked perfectly with great flavors. I, on the other hand, had no idea what I was getting, since the chef had crafted something special just for me. & wow-what a dish! Tender chicken in a rich, flavorful sauce, served with a refreshing celery, cucumber, & apple salad. It was light, vibrant, & absolutely perfect for my palate. A total win.
From the first phone call to the last bite, the service at Rendez-Vous was impeccable. They went above & beyond to accommodate me & did it with such kindness & grace.
If you're looking for an intimate spot with thoughtful service & exceptional food, Rendez-Vous is it. Just make sure to book in advance-seating is limited, & it's a place worth discovering.
We had a delightful experience at Rendez vous, seated at the bar in this charming, intimate space that blends trendy & vintage vibes. Perfect for dates or gatherings with friends. The menu offered unique flavors, including the mackerel, Celeriac Carpaccio, Saganaki & focaccia Burrata , all of which were delicious. For my main I ordered the beef cheek which was equally impressive.
Our waitress was new & was incredibly sweet & kind adding to the warm atmosphere of this cozy.
super cozy & intimate restaurant with trendy vibes. the inside is quite small, bug still very nice. the food was SO good. we trued the squash,broccoli, focaccia, & pork & everything was excellent. the drinks were also good. the only thing i would change was the portions being a bit bigger for food & drinks. staff was very friendly & efficient .
Everything was so good. I had the burrata with house focaccia, the grilled broccoli, & the delicata squash (10/10). I loved the open kitchen concept by the bar so you can watch the chefs cook! The staff, from the servers to the chefs were just fantastic & so welcoming. I had a great time, will definitely come back :)
