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.
Je suis vegan & je viens & reviens toujours pour l'ambiance & le service. Mais très souvent pour accompagner des amis non vegan. Toutefois, en 2025, même si ça s'appelle le petit poucet, je crois que pour qu'il serait bien de faire un petit effort pour introduire un tant soit peu deux ou trois trucs pour les végétaliens. La serveuse, loin d'être jeune par ailleurs, ne savait même pas c'est quoi un végétalien. Je me suis contenté d'un petit bol de gruau avec des toasts. C'est tout ce que la maison offrait (la serveuse ne le savait même pas que ça pouvait le faire). Je mets 4 sur 5 parce qu'ils viennent tout juste de réviser le menu. Ce qui veut dire que ce n'est pas demain la veille qu'ils vont refaire l'exercice :(

This restaurant is one of the best i ever went soo far the food the service & the atmosphere was A1 i definitely enjoyed my time the only caveat is that the waiting times can be very long for example my girlfriend & i waited at least an hour & a half before we had a place inside the restaurant but the food was worth it it's a bit on the expensive side but the rest is very good would definitely recommend.
Nous allons à ce resto depuis 5 générations pour notre famille..
Nous y retrouvons toujours la même qualité & les mêmes saveurs pour leur produits..repas traditionnel pour nous..
Le seul hic ..Le resto ferme à 4h..Donc aucun souper disponible..& nous sommes aprox à 1h45 de route
Superbe experience! Lendroit est bien decoré. La nourriture est succulente. Bonne portion. Creton, sucre a la creme, jambon fumé, était vraiment special! Je recommande!
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.
