Reviews for Cafe Cognac in Gatineau, QC

Went there for breakfast Saturday morning. Staff were extremely busy, our waitress was pleasant however very hard to get her... attention to order. The breakfast potatoes were stale, hard and cold. Two other tables returned their food while we werewaiting. Won?t be returning for the price and quality of the food. Read more

Just finished lunch with my sister, and I have some things to say, we came in with high expectations from there old location... being quite popular and lovey but this location wasnt up to par. first front staff was absolutely lovely, we ordered fish andchips for myself and a duck salad for my sister with calamari as a starter. Calamari was fine though it was around a 20 minutewait for such a quick and simple dish I find, the real problem came with our food, my fish was plan and tasted frozen I didn'ttaste any beer in a beer based batter and the fries felt and tasted old they were hard and barely hot, duck was alright thoughwe did find it odd that the duck served cold instead of hot and it absolutely tasted refrigerated ( happens when food has beenin a fridge for a day or two not cealed properly), then desert i got a cream bruleé and my sis got churros, churros tasted andlooked more like a beaver tail and were slightly raw in the middle, my cream bruleé was extremely hard, I had to full force hitthe caramel with a spoon, should of surved it was a chisel, (it was under the salamander for too long) it felt like I was eatingsponge toffee. And the custard was way to sweet tasted like the filling of a Boston cream donut????. From the consumers point ofview the line cook didn't give a second glance on the food they were pushing out. Spent 104$ for this. Sorry, not coming again Read more

I have been to Café Cognac at least 10 times since the opening and will go again. Always for Breakfast or Brunch. Meals and... service are excellent. Prices are fair. I give 4 stars because the food is good but nothing outstanding. I recommend. Read more

Great breakfast! Friendly staff! ? I wish they had more indoor seating for when the weather is not so good outside.

Nice, affordable place without much pretention. I only wish they had more vegetarian options.

Very disappointed with the quantity and quality of food for the price. We went to brunch and for about 15$, you have a single... medium piece of crepe with 2 slices of pears, 2 small pieces of brie and a drizzle of honey. No sides. Had to ask for a side,which was a very small salad for 7.50$. My chocolate and banana crepe had no flavor and had like a total of 4 bananas in. I atemaybe half of it. No sides as well for around 15$. Potatoes in other plates were bland. Service was slow. But at least, for hissecond day at work, Brendon(?) gave us good service. I do not recommend this place if you want to eat breakfast. Read more

We have been to Cafe Cognac several times for breakfast and the food is always delicious and service is always great! Based on... breakfast i would give them 5 stars. The reason I am giving 3 stars is because we went for dinner. Service was great as usual,the fried Calamari was delicious. We decided to order burgers. Our burgers were served over cooked. The patty was dry and tastedburnt. At that price point, the server should be asking how you want your burger cooked, medium is what we were expecting notvery well done. I don't like giving a poor review, I know restaurants are hurting and hiring has been difficult. Give this placea try, it is well worth it. Next time we go we will make sure to tell them we want our burger medium. Read more

Very disappointed of this place . We tried to make a reservation before going and no one answered the phone . We still went on a... saturday morning (I understand is probably the worst time and day ) and we were told they?ll have a table ready for us (2people) in 15 minutes, to wait outside they?ll called us . Two ladies enter after us and they were given a table 10min after andthey never made them wait outside, we tought they must have had a reservation. 30 minutes later a family of 16 left and a familyof 4 have left in between these 30 minuted, another couple walks in they were giving a table right away . We entered to see whatwas going on and the girl saw us like she completely forgot about us , even tho we were in front of the door the whole time, wewere told she?ll get a table for us in 5minutes . We got a table in the most awful spot but still we gave them the benefit ofthe doubt . Server came to ask for drinks and dissapeared for like 20 minutes, a couple arrived 5 minutes after we got seated,the same server took all of their orders first and still never came to us . We asked someone to take our order (finally) . Foodwas not the best quality or taste . We had the classic breakfast, potatoes were nasty, I don?t understand how can you mess uppotatoes that bad ( they tasted like old re heated potatoes that were never cooked properly). Sausages were good the rest wasaverage . We also had one of the breakfast sandwich, was a weird mix of different ingredients, very dry and basic-ish they usethe same bread as the toast, so it was very small and could barely taste the flavours. The salad on the side was the weirdestmix with a sauce that made everything taste worst . I usually would come back to these type of places if at least the regularbreakfast was good , this place was no it . Save your money and go somewhere else or cook at home, believe me is way better .
