This place is a true gem in the heart of Vieux-Hull. I had heard great things about it and finally decided to give it a trywow. Everything we ordered was a solid 10/10. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding: friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food was exceptionalwe shared four appetizers and every single one was delicious. For main I had their grilled cheese, which was very original and incredibly good. I would definitely come back to this place without a doubt. read more

This place has good reviews and for good reason! I was looking for a simple French meal (we walked across the bridge from Ottawa) and I was not disappointed here! I was immediately drawn to the Donald Duck dish (duck breast) and it was delicious. I wish there was more on the half size plate, because I finished it so fast. The duck was juicy and had a perfect amount of fat on it. And the veggies & garnishes were a great addition to the meal! Our server was very kind and helpful, and we loved the vibe of the place (inside and out). It's also located on a really cute street that's only for pedestrians! Come here if you're looking for solid French meal! read more

A very special place. Lovely food and very friendly service. Had the french toast at brunch and it was fantastic (though I would remove the apples as they were a bit hard). read more

When our cousin was visiting from out of town, and we were looking for a restaurant to take him to, we settled on the Bistro CoqLicorne because of the glowing reviews we saw on Yelp. Based on those reviews, we also called ahead to make a reservation. The reservation was actually a really good idea, because that place was popular. CoqLicorne is situated on Laval Street in Hull. The street is lit up beautifully with string lights, and the restaurant is in a sweet, old brick house. It is a small restaurant. The parking situation is hit-or-miss. You can get street parking, or there is a pay-and-display lot right across the street from the restaurant. We ended up paying $5 for the parking. The menu is unique, and all the items have fun names. Do you think I can remember the name of the thing I ordered? No. But it was salmon on a bed of creamy rice, and it was delicious as heck. You can order large or small dishes of most menu items. My husband ordered two small plates: fried duck dumplings, and spare rib. He loved his food. Our cousin ordered a burger with fries and salad, and he was pleased as well. We were four people. Four meals, two beers, a pop, and a lemonade came out to $145 plus tip. I knocked off a star because the service was pretty slow, but I would for sure visit this restaurant again! read more

The food is amazing and the restaurant is quite popular. You need to make a reservation to be guaranteed a seat because I have seen people turned away at 6. Their food ranges from burgers to tapas. My husband and I chose to do the Tapas route and thought the dishes were unique and tasty. It's one of the better French Onion soups I've had in awhile and their fish beignet is delicious. Prices are cheaper since it's in the Quebec side. If you are in the Ottawa area, I would cross the bridge and head to this Bistro for a good meal. read more

It's too bad that I have to give a mediocre review because the food was truly delicious. But, food isn't everything! The service was painfully slow and when the server did come to our table (we had to wave her over at least two times to order or ask for our bill), the restaurant didn't have half of what we intended to order. They didn't have bar ingredients for standard mixed drinks and they lacked a wine by the glass list. It was a serious hassle to order our drinks. Because of the service, we decided to order everything at the same time, but they took this to mean that we wanted everything delivered at the same time. So we didn't get appetizers....we just had a very full table of sides and entrees. The quality of food was solid. My boyfriend got the Miss Piggy, which he said was "7/10" because flavour and texture were good but it didn't blow his mind. I got the Jiminy Croquete and thought it was 10/10. The salad was so savoury and satisfying with candied nuts, blue cheese, arugula and apples. The croquette with duck in it was such a solid match with the salad. It had a thanksgiving comforting flavour to it. Finally, there was a massive lineup for the bathroom the whole evening. No thanks! Overall, good food but with an unfortunately busy/preoccupied space and poor service. Wouldn't return because of how irritating it was to sit through. read more

Another great lunch and beer selection (not a lot of drafts, but had a great NEIPA and Belgian). Burger of the day is always good and interesting, nice variety. Very French-centric, but they are always happy to help this non-French Speaker. Will always come back here when in Gatineau! read more

Cute little place for brunch with some unique dishes to choose from. It does get pretty popular on the weekend so it's better to make reservations before coming in. The service is quick and helpful and overall this joint has a nice atmosphere. Definitely a cool brunch spot. read more

We biked across the river for brunch and stopped at Bistro CoqLicorne. Great ambience and friendly staff. My wife had the omelette which was great and I had the poached eggs. They were very uniquely done and quite tasty. The menu is all French which may be an issue for some but they are very helpful at explaining things. read more

Love this little place :3 I have been twice and each time the server has only ever been epicly nice :D Food is great! Pretty sure it's artisanal bread- the first time I was there the bread was perfectly crisp, the second time a tad hard (still awesome- but hence why the 4/5) I just love how it's downtown hull- and the food is delicious :3 read more

Truly a unique and wonderful restaurant! The staff are friendly, warm, and inviting. Make a reservation as it does get very busy! I had the special which was a pulled boar nacho plate and it was amazingly delicious! My colleague had the chicken special with a wasabi creme drizzle...food was exquisite, simple menu and good options for vegetarians! The dessert-I has the bourbon banana cheesecake...fantastic. Definitely do not miss this darling bistro when in Ottawa. You will not regret it! read more

L'autre critique a tout dit: le Coqlicorne est une place chaleureuse, sympathique. Les plats de type bistro sont superbement exécutés. Je n'ai pas essayé les grillades, mais les assiettes avaient l'air réussies aussi. On y retrouve aussi des bonnes bières. Beaucoup de réguliers, ce qui est bon signe. Pas très fort côté options végé, par exemple. read more

Went there because of the high ratings. The place is small and very cozy. You need to make a reservation or you can try for the bar. 4 of us got lucky at the bar. The service was good but very slow. The kitchen could not keep up with the volume. All of our dishes came out at different times. I tried a few things and nothing blew me away. The one thing that was great was the french onion soup, but be careful, it has nuts. The tacos were just OK (fell apart) and the duck was a bit chewy, but tasted great. All in all an OK experience. In my opinion, not worth the high ratings. read more

One of the best restaurants in the NCR!!! The staff is amazing, the food is always excellent and the menu changes slightly, every so often, for variety. Highly recommend this place!!! read more

This is a cute little restaurant and bar. It's charming and the staff are very friendly (even if your French language skills are minimal). It does have a hipster vibe, which I think is just lovely. If you're not into young urban creative scenes then it might not be for you. I took my in laws there and they didn't like it quite as much as me. I think anyone who likes to sample the local culture of a place will appreciate it. The food was excellent! read more

Bistro CoqLicorne - a bar with stools - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Gatineau, Quebec

This cozy little bistro is serving up interesting takes on French bistro and diner classics. Their version of poutine featuring quail on potato wedges with a wine sauce was superb. My dining companions also had high praise for the burger of the day and the salmon. read more

The quail with chimichurri over poutine was outstanding. The crème brûle with maple syrup is the best I've ever tasted.

Amazing! Love the atmosphere and the server was fantastic. Now, down to the important stuff. Special of the eve: poutine unlike one I have ever had. Baked pieces of potato rather than fried with duck, apples, loads of cheese and a slice of the most delicious bacon ever. Pulled pork tacos... Divine. Charcuterie board-all meats made in house and to die for. Beef tongue, pancetta and a duck with liver pate.... Highly recommended! read more

The interior looked like a cozy bar with several tables although the heat of the day made it stuffy, but the outdoor patio was nicely laid out and airy. We ordered the veggie burger, and club sandwich with a side of fries. Extremely tasty and well presented! The staff was friendly and the sunny weather brightened our day. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality and quantity of food. We will return. read more

We went to the Canadian Museum of History, and our kids were hungry and tired by 4 pm, so we decided to stop off some place close before heading back to our hotel. It was a great choice. The service was great. My 4 year old wanted scrambled eggs, which they made even though they weren't on the menu. They also brought out coloring books and special kid glasses. Besides all of the great service, the food was excellent. We got a variety of tapas, from seared duck breast to Pork tacos with homemade onion confit to spiced lentils with yogurt and naan - everything was excellent. You can't go wrong with Bistro Coqlicorne. We will definitely go back the next time we hit the museum! read more

Menu selection for lunch is somewhat limited but was good nonetheless. Ordered the Calumet, which was tasty and satisfying. However smoked salmon was more like cooked salmon. Service was excellent, lunch menu prices are a bit high, but portions are quite large. read more

Magic plates come out of this kitchen! Went here for breakfast on Sunday and it was pure magician work from the chefs in the kitchen. Sweet and savory and all the good things. read more

They really couldn't be nicer here. I had great nachos and they had a good variety of Saint Ambroise. Plus the art on the walls if fun. You could have a festive dinner here or read a book, what gem. There was a nice little collection of tapas that I didn't end up trying. read more

Good food and service. We walked from the museum of Canadian history for lunch. Blanche neige was good.

Great service, absolutely loved the specials that were recommended, very nice place for English or French speakers

A gem of a bistro! Service was very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere could not have been more comfortable and relaxing. The music was perfect. The food was beyond wonderful. The chef is a true artist. The presentation was outstanding. The flavours were out of this world. I felt like I was a judge at the food Olympics and this bistro was competing for the gold (and winning). read more

Great little bistro. The food is delicious, the ambiance is cozy and personal. The terrace is very well placed. You forget for a minute that you are beside a busy street in the heart of hull. This restaurant is oppened not so long ago and I hope, is doing very well. The only thing I could say that didn't please me is that the staff was a little miss informed about certain things but its propably their first restaurant and they also seem quite young so all is forgiven. I hope to visit them again very soon and you should too. read more

Great place for brunch, lunch, diner and drinks! The employees are always really nice, the food never disappoints and the prices are great!

Went there for dinner with a friend. Service was great, place was quaint and the food (we had tapas and sandwiches) was amazing! would definitly recommend! read more

We came here after reading other reviews since we were staying at hotel nearby. You can't judge the food from the exterior or interior of this establishment. The duck confit with cardamom puree was so delicious - the puree was a perfect compliment to the duck. My kids had grilled cheese made with an artisanal bread, with a side of Caesar salad and fries. The fries were crispy, very tasty, and not greasy. It was an expensive lunch - a nice and delicious treat though! read more
