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 Quebec breakfast and lunch spot in the Laurentians, with a cozy chalet vibe, a large open fireplace, and a roomy waiting area where complimentary coffee and hot chocolate are offered to help pass the time. The menu features generous portions of traditional Quebec staples such as ham with maple syrup, baked beans, tourtiere, cretons, and house made breads and jams, with a noted emphasis on pork dishes and sugar shack style specialties in season. The overall experience is praised for friendly and attentive service, good value, and a family friendly atmosphere, making it a go to for brunch or apres ski moments, though waits can be long on weekends and reservations are rare or limited to large groups. The place is considered an institution in the region, delivering comforting homemade flavors and a memorable ambiance that is often worth the wait.
Une adresse à recommander les yeux fermés ! Nous sommes français & avons déjeuné au Petit Poucet sur les conseils d'une cousine locale, nous n'avons pas été déçus ! Tout était délicieux, le service de Véronique impeccable & souriant, les quantités très bonnes & pour un prix très raisonnable. Il peut y avoir un peu d'attente mais on nous offre le café pour patienter, & ça vaut totalement le coup. Notre seul regret : devoir rentrer en France sans pouvoir y retourner !
Je connais ce restaurant depuis plusieurs années mais je n'avais pas eu l'occasion d'y retourner depuis un bon moment. Tout récemment un ami m'a suggéré d'aller au Petit poucet à l'heure du lunch. Le restaurant était bondé & malgré l'attente, l'ambiance est toujours aussi chaleureuse & le café est offert pendant ce temps. Beaucoup de place pour s'asseoir durant l'attente. La nourriture est toujours excellente & le service est impeccable & rapide. On vous invite à prendre le temps dont vous avez besoin sans mettre de pression même si les tables sont pleines. J'y retournerai avec plaisir !
Such a great place! The service was beyond exceptional our waitress was wonderful. Food was plenty full, tasty & authentic québécois. Be prepared to wait as it gets busy but so worth the wait, they serve coffee & hot chocolate as you wait. A must!!!!

By far the best food in the city. I look forward to my meals here every year that we are up north. The French onion soup, beans, ham & maple syrup on snow are the best
Après avoir parcouru une partie du petit train du Nord, nous nous sommes arrêtés au Petit Poucet pour une deuxième visite, ça vaut l'arrêt pour un bon déjeuner/brunch surtout après une belle ride à vélo.💪
Vous pouvez profiter de la terrasse à l'extérieur durant l'attente & il y a du café & du chocolat chaud pour patienter. L'attente est normale & ce n'est jamais trop long...✨☀?.
Loved everything about this restaurant, even though its super busy & sometimes there is a wait to get in but its worth waiting for. They have a big beautiful fireplace inside the waiting area, along with picnic benches to wait outside! Best part was the complementary coffee/hot chocolate for customers while waiting for a table.
Our server was very nice, & energetic & smiling despite how busy it was which was awesome.
Their iced lattes are amazing, the food quanity & quality was great, prices are great $80 for a family of 4!! Theres so many reason to try this restaurant the whole vibe with the unique decor & the fact that it is local, definitely would go back👌

Great place.
We ordered a Full Rack of Ribs 🍖 &
Sweet Potato Fries 🍠
**IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
I indicated we spent 50-60 Bux per person because we drank. A lot.
The food was VERY FAIRLY PRICED.
& the drinks we're perfect.
The Waitress/ BarGirl was professional & kind:
She worked with us- we tried to be respectful & order in French (which we always do) but she was kind enough to see when we were struggling & continued in English.
She made notes to ensure that she ordered what we asked for.
& she was very attentive,
But not overbearing.
We were thrilled with the live music:
A gentleman guitarist & singer who has wonderfully harmonic-
Excellent ! Très copieux pour un bon brunch. Il y en a pour tous les goûts ! C'est sans réservation donc il faut y arriver tôt car beaucoup d'attente. Je suis arrivé vers 10h. On a eu 50min d'attente.
Mon restaurant déjeuner préféré.
Service impeccable. Rapport qualité/prix excellent.
Messge aux employés: Attention, à quelques reprises dans les dernières années, il est arrivé que certains aliments de mon assiette (souvent le déjeuner de l'Ogre) soient un peu tiède.
