Cafe- bistro located in new development behind the Four Points Sheraton and Levis congres centre…read more I've previously had a rather negative opinion of Van Hotte coffee. I rather thought it to be middle of the road and somewhat uninspiring. Here however it was a dandy clever surprise. I was here at 7AM for my morning Java jolt and a light breakfast. The cafe was quiet, well designed and very comfortable with many nooks and crannies and spots you could find yourself getting lost in a book or that office email overflowing red list! My order was a capucinno and a breakfast sandwich. Cap was nice strength, slightly bitter but good portion of froth. It came out as a nice hot temperature. Breakfast sandwich was fresh, light filling enough for a grown man and delicious. Overall a fine breakfast to get the day going. The only design flaw I'd declare is when you walk in it feels you are at the bulk food store with big displays of single serve keurig pods which somewhat gives a negative feng shui to the place. The rest of the cafe lounge is so nice but the massive display of pods on both sides doesn't suit the design of the place. I'm no interior or Industrial designer but it cheapens the feel of what otherwise is a fantastic cozy relaxing environment. Otherwise good stuff!

Looking at the other pics and reviews I'll go along with the fabulousness of it all in one of my fav places in Québec, Lévis! Cuz ya can't have enough accents on letters coming from reading English where we have.... NONE!! - It's just not fair. This place looks like what Starbucks modeled themselves after, and just kinda succeeded but this would be the prototype and like plenty of other things, the original is the best! Look at those actual homemade looking sandwiches, omg so good and the coffee bar is something to behold. Deep dish pizza is one thing to stop for at Lévis, and Café Bonté Divine is another, let's hear a cheer for gorgeous French coffee shops in Québec! Highly recommended!

It's hard to pick as each item looks better than the last. Sticking with the basics though, croissant, almond filled croissant and a hazelnut roll. Oh my gosh. The almond filling was amazing. Like a marzipan but lighter and more almond flavor. Generously filled into a sliced croissant. The hazelnut roll;similiar to a cinnamon roll but an elevated taste with real hazelnut paste. Basically everything in that bakery is top drawer as they are using pure ingredients. Definitely stop in and try anything. No disappointments only regrets that you eat more!

The place is huge when you walk in, lots of places to sit and enjoy you baked good. We got coffees to go and two cheese croissants and a toasted smoked salmon bagel. The cheese croissants were fresh, fluffy, buttery and layered. They just do pastries better in QC than home (Vancouver). The cheese was nicely distributed through the croissant too. My salmon bagel was also a star! So fresh, good toppings and great crunch. The bagel was chewy and delicious too. Service was fast and we enjoyed everything we had!

It has that effortless charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. They offer a great selection of sandwiches, baked goods, and pastries -- everything displayed beautifully and clearly made with care. I ordered a chocolate croissant, ham & brie sandwich, and a matcha latte. - The croissant was flaky with a rich chocolate centre. - The sandwich was fresh, generously filled, and well balanced. - The matcha latte was smooth and not overly sweet. Portions are solid, ingredients taste fresh, and prices are very reasonable for the quality. A lovely spot to pop into when you're in the area.

This is a bright, airy, and inviting cafe with several tables and a long counter facing the street for seating. Friendly and welcoming service. I really liked the vibe inside the cafe. It is located about 1.5 blocks behind the Delta hotel on Rene Lévesque Boulevard and a walkable distance to the entrance of the historic part of old Quebec City. I had the New York Roll Croissant, filled with a raspberry pastry cream and a white chocolate ganache on the outside. I loved it! My matcha latte with oat milk could have been a little warmer. I highly recommend a visit to this cafe!

They have about three to four times the number of toboggans to the number of lanes, so there is a constant stream going the whole time. It is a very iconic and speedy ride, definately enjoy if you are in town. If you are just walking by, just go for it, as they do close the ride based on weather conditions. They post updates on the store doors if there are any changes to regular operations. The walkways are slippery, this is the case for all of old Quebec, have the right boots on and take your time. Dragging the toboggan along the path up the ride is not too difficult, but again, watch your footing! Will do this again whenever we are in town and as soon as we can instead of waiting!

This review is just for a short visit for a hot beverage, and not for the toboggan ride. We were…read morestaying at the Chateau Frontenac Hotel and had walked around for a while in the cold and snow in December. We thought it would be nice to grab a hot cocoa and sit indoors after the sun went down. We ordered at the counter and another server prepared our drink for us. We put extra cinnamon in it. Cocoa was decent if not outstanding. Since it was late, only a few people were doing the ride and we couldn't really see them go down from inside the little shack. Anyway, we got what we wanted -- a hot beverage indoors after being out in the cold.

We came here to get sandwiches to go…read more We got the BLTO breakfast sandwich and the Jambon, Chèvre, and Pesto sandwich. The breakfast sandwiches come with their own round bread. The other sandwiches come with an option of baguette or ciabatta. The BLTO sandwich was pretty dry and underwhelming. The bread was a bit dry. The egg was fully cooked, making it more dry. The most interesting element was the maple Mayo, but the flavor was mostly lost unless you were eating only the bread. Please be more generous with the maple! Also it goes without saying that the bacon is not the typical American thin crispy bacon but the local Canadian bacon. The ham sandwich was much better. Not quite what I was expecting but delicious. The ham wasn't like your typical ham, it was really soft and tasted more like chicken. The dominate flavor was a roasted tomato and the pesto. The chèvre and the ham got a little lost with the strong flavor of the sauce. Quite messy by the end and the fresh tomato was not really necessary. Baguette was good. Service was good and everyone was very kind and seemed happy to be there. It's a very small space and two of the four inside tables were occupied by people trying to do work on their laptops. Casual ambiance with a little corner with art, a record player, and some merchandise (swimsuits and bags - not branded with the shop). There is some outdoor seating as well.

We sampled a bunch of different menu items. The classic beef tartare, one of the listed favourites,…read morecan be divisive and not for everyone. Personally, it was a treat for me trying out something different, but I do not think everyone would appreciate its almost raw meat and liver-like texture. The Tartare comes with fries, a salad, and crouton to round up the order. We upgraded the side of fries that came with the Tartare into their Tout Cochon poutine. I was happy with that option that way I was able to sample their house poutine without needing to dedicate a full meal order for it. I can say this was among the best poutines I have had. The gravy was rich and flavourful. The poutine was also loaded with a variety of different proteins like the Gaspor farm ham and the bacon-wrapped sausage. The perron cheese curds also perfectly topped off the whole dish. Our last order was the Quebec pork chop marinated and grilled with maple and tamari. It was served with apple chutney, sweet potato mash, and seasonal vegetables. It is exactly as you would expect with the ingredient details of the dish's name. You get a lot of different flavour profiles and textures with the meal order. Some saltiness with the pork chop then some sweetness with the apple chutney. Meaty tenderness with the pork chop, mushiness with the potato mash, and then some slightly crunchiness with the seasonal vegetables. We dined on Sunday lunchtime the day before Family Day. There were people waiting to be seated by the time we arrived, but fortunately our group of only 2 people has a table spot available so did not need to wait. We were led down flights of stairs to the lower floor which was level with the street below. The whole place with its classic walls and decor exudes with classic charm.

I ordered the half rack of ribs, which was a mixed bag. The flavor was good, but several ribs were so burnt they were completely inedible--straight to the discard pile. They came with a well-dressed Caesar salad featuring seasoned croutons and delicious shaved bacon, plus sliced fried potatoes that were crispy and not greasy in the least. The thick layer of BBQ sauce wasn't quite my style--I'm a dry rub girl--but I was too hungry to care much. No photos because I devoured everything. My dining companion had a chicken sandwich she raved about. She ordered a Nordic spritz while I indulged in some Quebec cider. Honestly, I expected more pork options given the restaurant's name, but they fed us quickly and efficiently, which was exactly what we needed. No real complaints except for those burnt ribs. The interior has eclectic, cool-looking decor that's worth checking out. Our waitress provided quick and efficient service as well.
