Rendez-Vous est décrit comme un endroit intime et chaleureux, avec un petit espace autour du bar et quelques tables, où le service est généralement attentif sans être intrusif et où la cuisine privilégie des plats frais comme la focaccia, la burrata et des pâtes artisanales. Les avis évoquent une atmosphère idéale pour un rendez-vous ou une soirée entre amis et une offre de vins et de cocktails bien expliqués. Le chef peut même apporter les plats à table, renforçant le caractère personnel de l'expérience. Cependant, certains retours pointent des bémols: des plats principaux parfois peu goûteux ou servis tièdes, des portions perçues comme petites pour le prix, et des plats comme le poulpe grillé ou une salade d'automne jugés moins réussis. Des soucis de service ponctuels et une certaine confusion en cuisine ont aussi été mentionnés lors de périodes chargées. Malgré cela, la majorité s'accorde sur la qualité et l'originalité des plats tels que le rotolo, le bucatini ou des plats autour de la focaccia et de la burrata, et sur le potentiel du lieu. L'endroit est souvent décrit comme une belle pépite du quartier, à tester avec réservation et à revisiter pour l'ambiance et l'ensemble culinaire.
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.
I went to have dinner with my boyfriend on a Friday night, trying to find a hidden gem in Pointe Claire close to the lake & we
end up to this place.
Pros:
Small place & very intimate.
We liked that the chef comes & brings the food on your table when they serve it.
The kitchen is just behind the bar & you could watch the chef while they cook your food.
Cons:
We find that the main courses were lacking of taste & portion were too small for its price. The grilled octopus was over cooked & missing some spices. The rotolo tastes better although my boyfriend finds the sauce a bit bitter. Also, there was no salt & pepper either on the table or offered. Our server forgot the water when she told us that she'll give it after serving our cocktail drinks but we understand that she's alone serving for everybody in the restaurant. The strawberry spritz cocktail was too bitter for me.
We would love to recommend the restaurant but I think it needs more improvement of the food & service.

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 !
Tuna Credo & Caesar Salad for starters. The Tuna was good, very small portion though. The Ceasar I didn't like. It wasn't really a Caesar to be honest, & tasted way too smokey
Bucatini & Rotolo for mains. The pasta is delicious here. We loved both. The meat in the rotolo was cooked to perfection & the dough was so good. However i found it could be a little bit bigger as a portion.
The 3 stars comes from the service, which should be a 1 star. We were sat down with no menu for 20 minutes. Drinks were ordered first, then another 20 minutes before they took our order. Waitress wasn't sure if we ate so started offering us desserts. We could tell she was overwhelmed but instead of taking action, it looked more like she was panicking. The bartender started taking over to serve us. Even in the kitchen there was confusion since I could see them go back & forth on the orders. Overall, was a mediocre experience.
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.
Delicious food & fantastic staff! So friendly & informed. The restaurant had two tables of four & the rest is bar seating. It's nice & intimate! The squash appetizer was unbelievable! We will definitely be coming back!
I had the pleasure of dining at Rendez-Vous Pointe-Claire, & it was a truly delightful experience. This small, cozy restaurant offers a unique setup, with most of the seating arranged around the bar facing the kitchen area. It creates an intimate & interactive atmosphere where you can watch the chefs work their magic-a nice touch that adds to the charm. While the menu is limited, every single dish we tried was absolutely delicious. You can tell the focus here is on quality over quantity. Each bite was a testament to the care & skill put into the food. The staff was friendly & attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Their recommendations were spot on, & they made us feel welcome throughout our visit. If you're looking for a small, intimate spot with a focus on tasteful, high-quality dishes, Rendez-Vous Pointe-Claire is a must-visit. It's the perfect place for a relaxed, flavorful meal that feels personal & unique.

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 :)
Tried Rendez-Vous tonight & it was FAB!!! I'm so excited to have a downtown wine bar vibe resto into the Pointe Claire Village. Food was excellent, great wine menu & fantastic service! Can't wait to go back!
