Marché de la Villette

Went to this place for breakfast on a Saturday morning after deciding not to wait in a long line waiting for a table at the place opposite to this one. We thought we'd be disappointed but everything about this place was great! I ordered a fresh juice which had grapefruit, strawberries and hint of banana. It was filling and tasty! We also ordered a few omelettes for the table between the 6 of us. Service stands out at this place and the staff and servers are very friendly, attentive and welcoming. Food too, was absolutely excellent.

I'm from Montreal and I had never heard of this little gem. First time and I really enjoyed it! The ambiance and cozyness felt great. (However do note they play French music all night long, so if you don't like it then be aware). For me the presentation of the food was a wow-factor! Big portions and tasty food. Some dishes like sandwiches are cheap and some like cheese fondue are more expensive. Our waiter Quentin was friendly and overall we had a great experience. For dessert, they even have Juliette&Chocolate brownies that are delicious. I recommend to try this little restaurant in old port for an authentic French experience.

I had my hopes up for this place. So many things they could improve to make it a wonderful bistro. For starters the sangria glasses, broken borders in the glasses don't make one feel safe drinking anything. Also, cocktails are not even cold or cool. This bistro has so much potential to become attractive to customers, even the staff seems to be very welcoming and efficient.

What ambiance! Every couple feet, there's a pothos hanging from a basket or a cauldron. Interspersed with ceiling fans and wrought iron chandeliers. Wood beams against a white ceiling. French love songs I think (like I'd expect to hear on a gondola) and toe tapping folk music. My waiter was just as charming, with a kitchen staff working their magic behind the scenes. Between them they found a gluten free option for me and volunteered to clean the kitchen before starting it. It was a laid back afternoon meal accompanied by 3 glasses of sparkling cider. Just what I needed after 2 weeks of travel. Merci.

This place had great decoration floating plants AND floating carbs, great music, seating and service. We were seated right away, and the food arrived promptly. We ordered the smoked salmon sandwich, cheese omelette and hot chocolates. All the food tasted great but salmon was kind of salty and pretty generous. Overall we had a great time and loved the vibe of this place :)

A very nice lunch place. Although they serve breakfast, we were there for lunch. Really good choices the best a French bistro should have. Good French baguettes with strong hot mustard. French and tasty cold cuts. I did not try but the tray of cold cuts looks really good. They even have raclette for 1 person. The service is very friendly. Don’t expect privacy because the atmosphere is of a bistro where people talk, tables very close to each other. There’s a mix of both locals and lots of tourists. A good meal and fun experience.

Great latte and croissants. The latte was layered which was different from what I’m use too, but in a good way. The croissant was very tasty, fluffy on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. The service was very friendly and the staff was very quick. The restaurant is located on a small street. There is not much parking on the street, so it would be best to walk to it if you’re staying at a near by hotel.

Olive et Gourmando was packed on the diagonal opposites corner, so we decided to try something different from the day before. I ordered cassoletoville?!? the one item that was at the top of the page and had its own separate heading and was a stand alone. The most requested item on their menu. I was about to discover why. What a great choice. Yes true the egg was not done right the first time and I had it redone, because I guess I don't like raw eggs in my breakfast. But... it was delicious beyond words. I couldn't add or subtract from it, (maybe a few odd bacon fat pieces). Delicious, made for a great start to the day. The service was friendly, the food amazing. The decor outdated, very outdated. I got over it once I was into the first bite. And if you're with great company it just blurs into the background. The view isn't all that amazing but in the corner vis a vis at the top is a white oversized blowup; like from the animation cartoon Hero. I highly recommend this dish
