Reviews of Cafe Des Artistes (Painter)

Ben Van Duppen

Nice but small pizzas

Mumetate

Great location very spacious. Menu is alright for afternoon snack or lunch time.

Alex Labonté

The view is awesome, you should try to get a table by the balcony or beside the windows. The pastas were only ok, but this is a café, I should have come for a hot chocolate with a pastry instead. The staff were all very friendly, I'll definitely come back during my next trip to Gaspé.

Maxime Beaumont

Interesting selection of coffees, sandwiches, pizzas and deserts. The terrace offers a view only Gaspé can offer. The staff was very helpful and we did not wait long.

Yannick Benoit

Lay back and relax. Try their local brew! Service is a little slow but overall, great experience!!

Adam Normand

(Translated) Perfect experience. A warm welcome, impeccable service, a gluten-free breakfast with a view of the sea and a very good "frozen estuary" coffee. ???? …

Mohammad Tabesh

Slowest kitchen ever. We waited 35 minutes for a ham sandwich! What a waste of time.

Kathleen Grégoire

(Translated) We go to this place to inspire, the scenery is enchanting, and to drink a good coffee. Certe, the coffee is very good, but the portions on the plates leave something to be desired. The jam was good, the salad dressing was good too, but at the end of my plate, I was still hungry. (One toast with quite ordinary bread, a few pieces of fruit and an egg on a slice of meat modified) It was not necessary to be in a hurry, because poor waiter, right in the holidays of construction with 3 terraces at disposal, a in the front, one in the back (very nice view) and on the side, he was alone in all the bistro. He still offered a very good service, but it is not very good on the part of the bosses. We go there to nibble while looking at the decor, have a coffee and his time. (Original) On va à cet endroit pour s'inspirer , le décor en est enchanteur, et pour boire un bon café. Certe, le café est très bon, mais les portions dans les assiettes laissent à désirer. La confiture était bonne, la sauce à salade l'était aussi, mais à la fin de mon assiette , j'avais encore faim. (Une seule toasts avec du pain assez ordinaire, quelques morceaux de fruits et un oeuf sur une tranche de viandes modifié) Il ne fallait pas être pressé , car pauvre serveur, en plein dans les vacances de la construction avec 3 terasses à disposition, une a l'avant, une a l'arriere( tres belle vue) et sur le côté , il était seul dans tout le bistro. Il a quand même offert un très bon service, mais ce n'est pas très bon de la part des patrons. On y va pour grignoter en regardant la déco, prendre un café et son temps.

Fred Belanger

(Translated) Wow! A delight, we went there for lunch, I recommend to everyone, beautiful place! Thank you for this delicious meal, smoked salmon is too good ???? …

Gorgeous building. Art is everywhere. The staff are great. Food is spectacular. More of place to experience, than just a place to eat.

(Translated) It's beautiful and the menu is awesome, the service is fast and everything is very clean with very high quality of coffee and food! (Original) C'est magnifique et les menu est génial, le service est rapide et tout est très propre avec une qualité de café et de nourriture très haute !

Geneviève Senécal-Léonard

(Translated) An institution in Gaspé: the artists' café. It’s also a coffee roaster. The menu includes bistro-style meals, some breakfast dishes and some desserts. It has been the same menu for many years; a change would be welcome. The service is really not fast. The food is pretty ordinary. (Original) Une institution à Gaspé: le café des artistes . C’est aussi une brûlerie de café. Le menu comprend des repas de type bistro, quelques plats déjeuner et quelques desserts. C’est le même menu depuis de nombreuses années; un changement serait le bienvenue. Le service n’est vraiment pas rapide. La nourriture est assez ordinaire.

Alicia Garcia-Massart

(Translated) We came as a group of friends and we all found it very good! Vegetarian options, lots of hot drink choices and the service was very friendly. …

Mathieu Abran

(Translated) Lovely place. The portions are however too small for a sustaining breakfast. Good luck to the dedicated team! …

Alice Morin

great place for coffee, i had seafood fresh pasta and it was reaaaally good

Matúš Labanc

The taste of the coffee was too bitter. So far one of the worst I had in Canada.

Anto BolMei

Causy and relax

Sabrina Mercier

(Translated) Nice little place, the view from the terrace is magnificent! The service is very friendly and they offer a wide variety of beverages ranging from coffees to beers for very fair prices. The only reason I can't put 5 …

bruno lalonge

(Translated) A stop for lunch, on the terrace with a view of the Bay of Gaspé. The friendly waitress Gabrielle offered us the delicious menu of the day and advised us judiciously in the choice of beer. On our next visit, we'll go inside for the only cachet. (Original) Un arrêt pour l’heure du lunch, sur la terrasse avec vue la Baie de Gaspé. La sympathique serveuse Gabrielle nous a proposé le délicieux menu du jour et conseillé judicieusement dans le choix de bière. À notre prochaine visite, nous irons à l’intérieur pour l’unique cachet.

Danielly Machado

Simply the best muffin I ever tasted and even the regular coffee was good (and I am picky with coffee). The service was super friendly and fast. Totally recommend.

Austin Vezina

if u are human and need food to live it is good

Ifrah Sam

We stumbled upon this restaurant at night on our way to Cap-Chat. The service was good, staff was nice, portions were awesome; not too much. Salad was delicious, decent price. Good overall experience

Amanda Paquin

You go here for fun interior decor and to sit in an old historic building. It is very charming and the staff welcoming. Food is good and coffee is dark roast.

Florin Gheorghe

The menu is pretty good, but the service is completely out of touch. 5 minutes after we received the order, the waitress came to ask if is complete and to bring the bill, even were empty tables, it was really not nice not even to wait us to finish. Why the rush, we wanted to admire the great view there, this left us a bad impression. This was second time we went there. Now we avoid this place.

Michel Carbonneau

(Translated) Very nice restaurant ... warm, very intimate and very good service ... Bravo 10⭐???? (Original) Très beau restaurant..chaleureux très intime et très bon service...Bravo 10⭐????

Dan Silverman

Excellent food with friendly service

Natalie Finn

Great service!

Alejo R

Fantastic food, great service. This little place has an outstanding view and is a real food experience. I liked the coffee and croissant sandwiches. If you are at Gaspe, CA this is the place to have a nice breakfast surrounded by beautiful decor and outstanding view

Martin Leroux

Laid back café with funky decor and hippie staff. Natchos were good. Small beer selection but they have Auval, so worth the stop!

Geoff Williams

Good coffees, good table service and a great location.

Yuriy C

Excellent atmosphere Good quality food and friendly staff Recommend

Danielle Gagnon

Excellent!

Dr Snuggles

Coffee bottomless OK. Cake is sporty priced. Nice Ambiente.

Félix Labelle-Thériault

Beautiful coffee shop!

Constance Fodé

Great spot to have a breakfast, delicious coffee, healthy options available with a giant muffin! Friendly and efficient staff. I recommend the outdoor seatings, to have a view at the Jacques Cartier Promenade while eating.

Claudia

Good coffee, food is alright nothing special. The service is good and fast. They having a unique decoration but what I didn’t like is the seating out side near of a passing street so u can see cars and hearing them but is like that in all the restaurants around this area. Can be a good option for lunch. I was with my kid and I didn’t find any kids friendly option.

Sajid Hussain

Very nice staff and great cafe

Lydie L.

(Translated) Simply to enjoy the magnificent terrace, worth stopping there! Home: rather cold and straddling social distancing guidelines. Atmosphere: Relaxed. Their decor has a very beautiful character and is welcoming. Food: I had an iced coffee with a sprinkle of hazelnuts. Refreshing and good. I give an 8/10. (Original) Simplement pour profiter de la magnifique terrasse, vaut la peine de s'y arrêter! Acceuil: plutôt froid et à cheval sur les directives de distanciation sociale. Ambiance : Décontractée. Leur décor a un très beau cachet et est acceuillant. Nourriture : J'ai pris un café glacé avec jet de noisette. Rafraîchissant et bon. Je donne un 8/10.

(Translated) Very nice place offering a quality of catering up to our expectations. Warm welcome by the owner (I think) of the place. Very attentive service by each of the people who served us. Our choices… - Shrimp Salad: fresh and tasty shrimp in large quantities. Very good salad with multiple ingredients. Really delicious. - Chicken salad: large piece of Chicken breast on salad with assorted ingredients. Definitely to recommend. (Original) Place très sympathique offrant une qualité de restauration à la hauteur de nos attentes. Accueil chaleureux par le propriétaire (je pense) de la place. Service très attentionné par chacune des personnes qui nous ont servies. Nos choix… - Salade de Crevette: crevettes fraîches et goûteuses en quantité importante. Très bonne salade avec multiple ingrédients. Vraiment délicieux. - Salade de poulet: grand morceau de Poitrine de poulet sur salade d’ingrédients variés. Définitivement à recommander.

Shahram (Shelby)

One of the best!

Ben Davies

Like much of Gaspe unfortunately this is another charming, idiosyncratically decorated cafe with less than mediocre food and abysmal coffee. The food is made from preprepared dishes which could work bit for the fact that most are just not very good. No excuse for bad coffee. Ever. Nice staff though.

Niels Peters-Lauzon

Super comfortable coffee shop with excellent staff! A little pricey for food, but not enough to take away a star

jaël labelle

Enjoy it a lot!! Kind staff & beautiful relaxing spot!

Lesley Garcia

Warm and artsy lil cafe. Great food!

Brian Fisher

Great café with loads of choices for coffees and food. Staff is very friendly as well.

Charles McGeoghan

Why would Tim Hortons bother to put up a store across from this place!!? No contest! Amazing meal, decor and most importantly, staff!

Felix Belanger

Great place to enjoy a big selection of specialty coffee! They also serve meals all day and you can drink local beers

Stephen Waller

Excellent cappuccino, fantastic baked goods, great view.

Mo Cons

Very good sandwiches! It is pricey but the food is delish. The ambiance is very cool, staff are friendly and wait time is not long. Loved their hot chocolate too!

Edith P

Abdul Jamil Rasooli

Food is delicious and service is good. But, utensils were not clean !

Liran K

Nice place

Sébastien Gagné

The coffee is pretty bad; what was coming out of the machine was far from an espresso (high flowing spurting grey-brown coffee). Pretty disappointing for a Cafe. The chocolatine and decor was nice though.

Joshua Chmielewski

Great food and great service!

Emil Shevelev

Good coffee, but the baked goods(croissant & chocolatine) were a day old. Definetly not worth the price. ????

Nick Fortin

(Translated) A basic coffee is included with the lunch menu but no way to exchange it for another type of coffee. The food is good but a bit expensive for what you get. I would go back but only to have a special coffee and not to …

Steve Grant

Disappointing.

Robert McSweeney

We stopped in early in the morning and got coffee and breakfast sandwiches to go which were delicious.

Gaëtan Trellu

Very nice place, you should try the Gadix dessert!

Great little cafe, my homemade sausage with sourkrout was delicious

I recommend it to everyone! (Original) Nous sommes allés mangé dans ce petit café il y a quelques jours lors de notre passage à gaspé et WOW!

Cool dad

Excellent place to visite. Stuff is very friendly and food is very tasty. Prices are reasonable.

Chris Sanfino

Friendly bilingual staff. Good sandwiches in a quaint village.

Emmeline In

Our veganism was laughed at, our requests were ignored, the food was bland, no efforts were made for our dietary restrictions, the waitress was insulting, the pizza was 3inches served with a tasteless salad, which was the exact same as the salad we ordered on the side. Care to tell us next time we order the same thing twice "TO SHARE" as mentioned? Never brought our "included" teas, sighed when we asked for soya milk, sent the other waitress in because we were getting on her nerves, witout the soya milk, or the bill that we'd asked for. There are more and more vegans out and about in the world, trying to make this a better, more respectful place, so if you'd care to give a non insulting service next time at the price of $35 for a non existing pizza and a salad, maybe you'll gain clients, not loose them.

Felipe Rojas

A gem that must be a must go place

(Translated) Excellent and wide selection of locally roasted coffees and herbal teas to eat on the spot or take away. The pastries are delicious. The furniture and decoration are splendid. The reception is excellent! The toilets are worth the detour! (Original) Excellent et large choix de cafés torréfiés localement ainsi que de tisanes à consommer sur place ou à emporter.

Michael Tsoller

Great place for a breakfast. The crew is short staffed like many places around the peninsula but I felt a real desire they made sure the customers are satisfied. Food was tasty. The coffees are the gem of this place. And what a view - directly above the water. I definitely reccomend.

Nicole

Staff was super friendly and energetic, food was good, great coffee

Eli Maksoudian (Eli)

A small place in the region that is guaranteed to give you a big taste of the area's best foods and drinks. The interior is very cosy and rustic, with a multitude of decorations, statues, carvings, painting and more. What's amazing about this place is the warm welcome that the manager and staff offer! Very friendly and courteous beyond what we see even in first- class restaurants.The food is very delicious and homemade, with generous portions and very fresh ingredients (their salmon bagel is to die for). Their desserts are out of this world, also home made. Highly recommended if not A MUST if you're in the region!

Louay Jabry

Lovely cafe but did not a have a good experience with either service or food. The supermarket-style oval shaped pizza was close to being burned to a crisp. They do have a great selection of tea and the one I chose was exceptional.

Laurent Tétreault Portugais

Nice atmosphere, staff and food. Good wi-fi but small tables and few plugs

Ileana VC

The coffee was good but nothing special about it. We got 2 ice-coffees and paid 18$, which I think is a bit absurd. We heard people at a nearby table talking about the prices as well. Otherwise, the location was nice.

Nadia Kovaleva

Nice design, friendly staff, good menu for everybody (including vegetariens)

Pirakalathan Ganeshalingam

Good food

Gerald Finn

Best coffee in Gaspé. Food is great too

Daniel Tremblay

Lovely place, excellent food! Extremely lovely staff. Lot of character! I highly recommend this place. A must go

F DR

Croissants at 4.25$, smoked salmon bagel at 21$+ taxes and service. Total rip-off. Overhyped.

Bianca J

Great cappuccino

Félix Duchesne

(Translated) Very nice cafe in Gaspé. Simply by the decor and the atmosphere, you are already satisfied with your visit without even having ordered. Truly a great company which is the pride of Gaspé. However, here are two points that I wanted to mention that I believe could be improved: 1. Very small portion for the price. I ordered a delicious Mac & Cheese, but honestly thought it was the kid's portion. For the price paid, it honestly wasn't enough. 2. There should be a take-out coffee service. I have already been told that it offers this possibility, but sometimes you would have to queue 15-20 minutes in season to simply order your coffee. I can understand that this may not be the priority in the summer given the profitability of the restaurant, but maybe once the labor shortage is over, a line or an expedited service for the "to go" cafes. "would be interesting. Thanks again, we'll come back to see you. (Original) Très beau café à Gaspé. Simplement par le décor et l'ambiance, vous êtes déjà satisfait de votre visite sans même avoir commandé. Vraiment une belle entreprise qui fait la fierté de Gaspé. Cependant, voici deux points que je tenais à mentionner qui je crois pourrais être a améliorer : 1. Portion très petite pour le prix. J'ai commandé un Mac & Cheese délicieux, mais j'ai honnêtement cru que c'était la portion pour enfant. Pour le prix payé, ce n'était honnêtement pas suffisant. 2. Il faudrait offrir un service pour le café à emporter. On m'a déjà mentionné qu'il offrait cette possibilité, mais il faudrait parfois faire la file 15-20 minutes en saison pour simplement commander son café. Je peux comprendre que ce n'est peut être pas la priorité en été vu la rentabilité du restaurant, mais peut-être qu'une fois la pénurie de main d'œuvre terminé, une ligne ou un service accéléré pour les cafés "to go" serait intéressant. Merci encore, on va revenir vous voir.

Emma Meldrum

Prices high for the quality and quantity of food. Staff were lovely.

andre guilbault

At first did not want to go but because the other restaurant was full we came back and happy we did.strongly recommend.

Excelent food, great view, poor customer service.

Zuzana Demovicova

Literally the worst coffee I've ever have in Canada.

Maria-Luisa Quintana

Excellent sandwiches. Great coffee.

Meghan Perry

Never had such a horrible service experience in my life! Food was mediocre but we wanted to support a small local business so not such a big deal. However shortly after we finished eating a full lunch we were asked to pay and then a few mins later asked to leave because there were other clients waiting. We were only there 35 mins! When we asked to stay a bit longer because we hadn't finished our coffees, we were told we could take them to go. When we asked a second time because it was raining, we were rudely told that fine we could stay if we wanted. We left immediately. We will never go back to this establishment.

Yves Lacroix

Excellent coffee

KP

Cozy cafe with beautiful views and decent menu options. Food is not so great except for their hot chocolate. Best hot chocolate I've ever had.

Umberto Sist

Good food and service

L Tan

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and authenticity of the food! The staff are very nice here too.

Yaelle Moses

The wait staff was very polite and professionnal. The food was good, but the grilled cheese is a 12$ half sandwich. We ordered 2 separate meals to enjoy our time here but despite the waitresses's best efforts to make our experience …

Laetitia Séné

Very nice place to chill and eat (dishes and dessert were good) but weardly I didn't very enjoy the coffee.

Good food waiter meh

Constantin Mitulescu

Dirty, cramped place

Fei Shen

We went to this restaurant 3 out of the 4 days we stayed in Gaspe! It has a lovely, cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff there are friendly. The food is delicious - whether it is soup, or pizza or sandwiches. You can tell the ingredients are very fresh and good quality. I love all the side salads that go with the main dishes we ordered. These salads are gourmet salads with a variety of healthy ingredients (quinoa, kale, beans, etc.) and the dressing is always tasty and special. I don't know how some people do not like these salads - I saw the servers had to throw away untouched salads. What a waste! I wanted to tell the chefs they really made the best salads!

Vlad

This is a good place to have a coffee and relax a bit in nice decorations. If you’re hungry, go somewhere else.

Guy Penard
