Founded in 1945, the restaurant Au Petit Poucet will introduce you to Quebec flavors through a typically Quebec menu.
A rustic and comforting decor, where you will feel like you are at the chalet. The huge central fireplace will ensure a warm atmosphere throughout your meal. Everything is there to give you a unique culinary experience!
We are located in Val-David, a charming village in the heart of the magnificent Laurentides region. You will also find a wide range of recreational and cultural activities nearby, which will certainly make you appreciate the region.
Au Petit Poucet is described as a warm, rustic Quebecois breakfast and lunch spot with a chalet vibe and a cozy waiting area around a real fire, delivering a distinctly local and charming atmosphere. The menu offers generous, homemade portions of traditional Quebec dishes such as cretons, feves au lard, tourtiere, and eggs Benedict with maple ham, with many reviews calling the food hearty, well made, and fairly priced for the portion size. Service and ambiance are widely praised for being friendly, attentive, and efficient, and guests often appreciate the complimentary coffee or hot chocolate while they wait, though on busy weekends the wait can be lengthy and reservations are not available. Overall the place is regarded as an institution in the region, worth visiting for the decor, the home made cooking, and the warm, family friendly vibe, with only occasional notes about portion size or service consistency.
We tried many different dishes. They were all good, but I found the coffee a little bitter. The staff is very friendly & obliging. Prices are competitive to other local restaurants. In the Laurentians you always pay more than the city.

It is a very nice restaurant which explains why there is quite a lot of people there. Waiting time was not bad & the servers were very fast & friendly. The meal was cooked & came fast.
Heavy on the cozy cottage aesthetic with wood construction, taxidermied animals & animal heads, a full-on roaring fire & Adirondack chairs in the lobby, vintage chair lifts, & more. Free coffee & hot chocolate while you wait for your table but ONLY ON WEEK-ENDS. Also only on weekends are the pastries at the shopfront you can buy to go. I found out they come from Pascal, a pastry shop in St-Sauveur. Drip coffee (paid at the tables FYI) isn't very strong so go for an Americano instead. The eggs benedict are on top of a rosemary/herbs-packed hashbrown.. a bit overkill. My second visit I had a classic eggs & bacon with the insanely delicious & oversized pain ménage! Much better.
