As for the food, I found the veggie soup was kind of ho hum. The grilled cheese was good but it was awfully small. It was basically a lot of soup and not much else. Husband had the jackfruit tacos that supposedly 'tastes the same as pulled pork'... Nope - but still enjoyable.

TLDR - Kaffe 1870 sells a good time, so it is my opinion that food quality takes a back seat to…read morehappiness. It helps that Kaffe sells the cheapest dinner on the Riverside Street. Kaffe has live music most evenings. The evening we went they ran a game night at the same time. It was loud. It was fun. We joked around with strangers. Everyone was relaxed. And did I say it was a pub? Oh draft beer was so delicious! Good times for everyone. The food at Kaffe is 3.5 stars at best. My beef stew was loaded with beef brisket chunks and vegetable bits. It was bold, delicious, down to earth, country styled. My boyfriend described his pasta as rich and hearty. Portions of both entrees were not generous but they were satisfying nevertheless. They surely weren't fancy. Most dinner offereings were priced at $18. Compared to most other restaurants charging over $20, Kaffe had the cheapest dinner that filled you up. Many patrons were french speaking. Yet the server was accomodating to us English speakers. I got a distinct impression that some people were regulars. If I was correct, this pub was the locals' social hub. How cool is that?

I rarely see Steak Tartare on a menu so I ordered that and enjoyed it, especially whatever sauce they put on the side. Speaking of sauces, the fries came with a side sauce that was also tasty. Vichyssoise was excellent, too! I loved the blackboard drawings and all the owl paraphernalia, too. All in all, a good meal, experience and without booze we had two nice lunches for around $40 pre-tip. Nice!

We had a long day and the usual dinner hour got away from us so we called Hibou to see if they…read morecould slide us in before the kitchen closed. She said to come on down so we did. From the moment we got there, everyone was super accommodating despite the fact that we were like 2 minutes from the kitchen closing. No worries, got our dinner and drinks orders in quickly and service was just awesome. The food came out and we were blown away. You may wonder how a veggie burger and a hamburger could be that awesome but they were. My wife had a side salad with watermelon and mint that she demolished. I had the sirloin burger that was perfectly cooked with a side of garlic aioli that was to die for. The food here is awesome. Nothing to smack talk about and the service from Valerie was extraordinary. If you're in Wakefield, come here for sure.

We heard good things about the Village House so we decided to give it a try. We were both very…read morehungry so we figure that we would run this place through its paces. It was a hot day and while they didn't have AC they had enough fans to cool things down. As soon as we got there, we were greeted warmly, we saw their open kitchen and saw the three cooks busting it out like crazy. Their patio was packed and the line was hopping. Although it was warm, the service was friendly and fast. The drinks were all well made, they also have a great wine and beer selection. We both opted for apples and mains and we were not disappointed. Highlights included my wife's started salad and my beef carpaccio- both blew us away. Our mains were equally awesome. I can see why this place is so popular in Wakefield. If you're in town, make it a point to some here. It's worth it.

Leave the kids home, but very affordable. The food I would say was epic. Small plates and something for most tastes. We shared It all so we could taste more. We started with a Duck Ham. What is a duck ham? Duck prepared like ham! And It was paired with lemon ricotta and was amazing. The second app we got was a ravioli made with mushrooms and in a cream sauce with pine nuts. Delicious all the way. The main entree was a beef short rib. It fell apart. It was delicious and we were given some bread to sop up the jus. It was incredible. Then the desserts. Nothing to miss here. We ordered one of each to try. My favorite was the apple tartlet. Perfect size amazing flavor.

We heard of Wakefield from the "Still Standing" TV show. We were intrigued so when we planned a…read moreroad trip into Quebec, we chose to rest in this town instead of Ottawa. Wakefield Mill Hotel is one of the Town's sightseeing and heritage spots. The main building is next to a fast running river. There is a small waterfall underneath a bridge. The view at the lookout point is breathtaking. I strongly recommend you to stop by Wakefield Mill to enjoy the view. Note that you cannot check out the inside of the hotel, though. We stayed at the Eco Lodge. It is a newer building on hotel ground. The building is LEED certified. There are many artistic paintings in the hallways. The room has contemporary furnishing, big TV, and Nespresso coffee. The bed was comfy. The bathroom had a nice rain forest shower. We were very happy with the room. One note though is that there is no USB outlet for phone charging. Make sure you bring an adapter to charge your phones. We didn't dine at the onsite restaurants, so no comment on them.

The place itself is very small and cozy . It feels very personal and very in the woods . The room we were in was very clean and spacious for 2 people . We got a complimentary honey on our check in and a sweet note for the birthday of my partner. The staff was amazing , since the check in until check out they were so kind and just very enthusiastic to be there . Our 5 course meal at la muse restaurant was unique and with an amazing view if the falls . The food was okay as we are not very big fans of french cuisine but still it was very good we ate everything. The breakfast was simple but filling and very good . Is the perfect staycation if you're from Ottawa or Gatineau. If you're from out of town definitely recommend doing in the summer and stay more than one night so you can really enjoy the small town and some hiking trails in the Gatineau park .

So, already I was won over. It was nearing the end of the day so my friend grabbed a large pizza to go missing one slice only, for a good deal. 40 min it would have taken for a fresh one. This pizza was a by the slice one. I was starving and that first hot, fresh slice was heaven. Magic Mushroom was it's name. Not the best pizza for reheating next day. Best eaten fresh. Secret is said to be, fennel in the crust makes it special. Someone else also told me, by the slice here is the best option as somehow, the pizza comes out thinner/better. ? I recommend!

I have to say you guys need to do something to make that dining room look a little more inviting. Do you really need an empty bookcase in there? Do you really need the outside sign on the floor in the dining room? You need to make an effort. We sat in that empty bleak dining room and the chicken salad I ordered was disappointing. I could've made a better one myself at home. It was a lackluster lunch in a dreary atmosphere. Our waiter was as nice as ever but unless I get to sit on the patio, I'm not hanging out in that dreary andining room again no matter how good the food is.

First thing first, Bluebarn is a roaster. Bluebarn sells awesome coffee. Delicious coffee. Aromatic coffee. Rich coffee. Wake me up coffee. Get the idea? If you love you what you drink, you can buy a bag of its ground coffee blend in store AND in the local grocery store. Secondly, Bluebarn serves decent breakfast and lunch entrees. A paled down diner of sort. I find the spinach cheese pastery okay/decent. For better pasteries, see my review for Pipolinka Bakery. Last and not least, Bluebarn is a beautiful venue. Simple decoration. Airy, pleasant yet functional. An oasis from the hustles of the outside world. Yet also a perfect place to park your laptop for a day's work (Free WiFi).
