There are new owners at this restaurant and it is AMAZING. I believe it is called Faim. My husband and I always went to Chez Louis when we biked the P'tit train de nord, so were relieved to see it hadn't closed but had been bought by lovely young people who are serving delicious food! These new owners have redecorated this beautiful old property and hope to offer eveing meals in the future. for now , their brunch menu is delicious as is their wide choice of coffees and beverages. read more

Still absolutely wonderful...but it is no longer C'est La Vie (although you can order a C'est La Vie omelette! It is now called Chez Louis (https://www.restomontreal.ca/resto/chez-louis-cafe-val-david/19714/en/) ... and opens at 9:30 on the weekend. Still highly recommend this.... A real treasure! read more

My husband and I have been here several times. It's a lovely place in the summer. We have never been in the winter. Great food and awesome breakfast. A little pricey, but I always thought worth it. Typically you order at the counter then sit down at a table. The waitress will find you when your meals are ready because they ask you for your first name when you first order at the front. It is very friendly there. The owners and the cafe reminds me of Paris. They make fancy breakfasts, coffees, specialty coffees, smoothies (I recommend Le Pink), lunch foods like sandwiches / quiche, and deluxe soups. I have yet to try their soup, but every time I go it always intrigues me. We generally go for breakfast in the morning so we don't order soup. They also have muffins and cakes, things like that. There is a big patio-terrasse available to eat outside. Inside there are tables but it is slightly cramped. There is some parking spots across the street from the cafe, but if they are full, the street would be fine too. Val-David is not busy and it's a small village. It is about 50 minutes from Montreal West so it's a bit of a trip.... If you ever decide to visit up North Quebec, stop in Val-David just off the 117 highway and visit C'est La Vie Cafe. At least just once. read more

My friend's and I were driving home to New York City from Mont-Tremblant and needed a quick and easy breakfast that would be healthy and satisfying. I wound up finding this restaurant on Yelp, and despite a short drive off of our path, it met all of our expectations. We really enjoyed our breakfast which consisted of omelets, coffees, smoothies, and cookies. The staff was really pleasant and the atmosphere was really cozy. Totally worth a try! read more

Chez Louis - The Martine Omelet with Brie cheese, maple syrup, spinach and cranberries. - Cafes Near Me - Val-David, Quebec

I stopped here to wait for my boyfriend to arrive after his long ride on Le P'tit Train du Nord. There were three other solo women there just hanging out - perhaps also waiting for their beloveds, or perhaps hoping to find a new one from the slew of bikers rolling by. I loved the balconies, the ambiance overall, and the food selection. I had an omlette with brie, apples, maple syrup, spinach with roasted potatoes on the side - sweetness on eggs - something i couldn't imagine would be as fantastic tasting as it was! But it was the unbelievable homemade jam that was even more over the top. It was the best I had ever tasted! The espresso was great too - and luckily my boyfriend showed up just as the food was served - way too much for me to eat all by myself. Great experience, can't wait for another visit! read more

A few years ago we decided to take a bike ride along the "Petit Train Du Nord" trail. As we arrived to Val-David, we saw a nice restaurant with cute terrace. The great surprise was that the food was delicious. Nice place for a lunch or afternoon te. We have now visited the place at different times of the year and it has always been a great meal. Very nice ambiance. read more

Why, oh, why isn't this place just around the corner from my house? I'd be there every day! We were biking on the P'tit Train Du Nord trail and stopped here on the advice of some friends. It was perfect cycling fuel. I had an omelet with Camembert, sautéed apples, and potatoes. It was terrific, served with a tiny spinach salad and a smoothie shot. Folks with me had other omelettes, scrambled eggs, and grilled cheese. We shared a chocolate banana muffin that was rich and delicious. The espresso was smooth and perfect. We loved the big porch and the friendly server! This place has a wonderful vibe. read more
