Chez Barbe - Gatineau

Quaint little dinner full of old fashion character. But on a hot summer day you will roast along with the old-cooked-in-advance home fries.The potential is there, but the food doesn’t speak to the same home pride of the location. The bacon was bland, the home fries were stale. The french toast was soggy and undercooked in the middle. The pancake was made with “biscuick,” not incorporated, leaving baking powder laced pockets of bitter unpleasantness.May have once been “the place,” to be, but not from what my family experienced.

Good food, reasonable price and great service. No complaints here.

The small diner is charming, but I was disappointed by the inconsistency in the food. Many items from the breakfast order had problems - the creton was frozen, the soft poached eggs were overcooked, and the potatoes were mediocre.

This is one of my go-to spots for breakfast. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff, particularly a very nice lady, enhances the experience. Their breakfast offerings are top-notch, with high-quality ingredients. The fried potatoes with onions and various spices are a standout, and the smoked ham and sausages are also delicious. Starting my day here is always a delight!

I decided to dine at this restaurant based on the positive reviews and was not let down. The food was delicious and the service provided by Diane was exceptional. The diner also had a lot of interesting history, adding to the overall experience.
