Le Pub du bon vivant in Gatineau

Nice place food was good. Great coffee. Loved the deck.

Food is good, but service is hell... 15 minutes seated until we ordered, and waited over 45 minutes for our orders. I really WANT to recommend this place at lunchtime for public service workers but I CAN'T because these kinds of delays are entirely unacceptable considering the client base for most restaurants in this sector is public service workers.

Visited the pub Friday night for dinner and drinks with friends. Place was busy when we arrived but were greeted and seated quickly. We started by ordering Sangria and I must say it was the best Sangria I have ever had. We complimented the server as we noticed he was the one that made it and he told us he was one of the bartenders. The food was great, portions were very generous and the fries were to die for. Service was top notch, Will visit again .

Le Pub burger was super burnt. All the burgers were actually burnt. The drinks and the service was good.

Nice little place. Patio was worth it on a nice evening. Decent beers. I had a chicken wrap and that was good but the 3 other people I was with did not enjoy the food. The fries in particular was something they disliked. I'd go again if I was in the area.

I like this place. Good food but a bit too pricey.

Pretty decent lunch food. I had the fish Tacos, they were good by all standards, but I would definitely add more sauce/spice. The fires looked homemade, but they were rather soggy. A bit on the expensive side, but that is expected from Downtown Gatineau.

Micro brew beers on tap and a nice variety of food on the menu with a nice view from the patio on the traffic below.

It is always a cozy feeling in there. Service is always fast, friendly & professional.

Stunning patio view, friendly service and yummy food and drink. Pulled pork sandwich was delicious.

It was nice being there today for a staff member's last day. Nice ambiance and fast service. The meals were fresh and the drinks tasty. The high end pub is reflected in the slighty over average prices too.Overall, it was a good experience.

Good food and margaritas; nice patio in the back. Only giving 3 stars because our server got upset with my friend for not tipping enough. My friend gave around 14% and everyone else in our group tipped 15-20%. Super unprofessional.

The patio is perfect but the food is not extraordinary. Portions are small for the price, food is blend. We paid an extra 4$ for sweet potatoes instead of french fries and we go no more than 15 fries. It was cold and the waitress picked up our plates while we were still eating our 15 fries.

Great waiter service. The food was good also.

Great pub. Awesome tasting locally brewed beer, reasonably good drink prices, nice environment. Service is pretty slow when there are a lot of customers (usually evening). Overall nice pub, good drinks, decent food

Alex the manager is amazing and the service was to die for. Food was incredible and the drinks reasonably priced. Definetly coming back again and again.

The service is terrible here if you sit outside on the patio. We waited a long time for a server, we actually had to get up grab someone after we'd been waiting for some time. We've come here multiple times in the past and had the same issue on the patio, we actually stopped coming but decided to give it another try because they had Guinness. If you sit inside though the service it pretty decent. It's a shame because its a good size patio.

It was delightfully good and the service was excellent. The vegetarian pizza is sooooo yummy

It's a really nice place, huge patio.

The food is good and there is a lot of beer on tap. You'll need a reservation at lunch because of the government lunch hour.

Fantastic fish and chip and they handled a large group extremely well

Great pub in hull with delicious food, highly recommend the burgers! The fries are awesome and they give you a generous amount of them.

Food was great, good portions. The attention was okay, they ask too much if you want a drink while you still have one. They haven’t updated their specials online, so they honoured it but you have to tell then you’re there for that special. Many beers on tap and a good place to hang!

Welcoming play when you walk in. The ambiance is very confortable too. And the decor is fantantic and very clean.The sexy staff is very nice and polite.The food je great.

Good place to eat. Not a sports bar, but I watched the SuperBowl there.

Great terrace when the weather allows it.

Everything is ok. Very disappointed that some waitresses don't speak French.

Great place to go with friends, food was delicious and the selection of alcohol were good. Had a fun time celebrating my friends birthday and trying vagabond 🍺.

nice staff but the wings were not great. booze midrange not much choice.

Fries were mediocre but club sandwich was awesome. Friendly staff. Very busy place. Small bathroom. Didn't see a change table. Good atmosphere. I'd go back. Typical pub. They have smaller size pints!

Nice vibe, great food and a nice place to chill with friends or colleagues after work! The patio seating is also quite cozy. Perfect place to chill after work in the evenings!

Lovely place! A bit pricey but it's worth it, the food tastes good and the staff is friendly

Really nice place with a nice patio in the back. Good service and good selection of beers

Great patio in the back. Service was alright. Nachos for the 5à7 were are joke. 5$ nachos are the biggest scam :P

It's ok. Not great. Decent food. The bbq nan is actually really good but very big. Beer selection is mesh. Service is very friendly and bilingual.

Well for Starters I am the Chef. But that being Saïd the staff and atmosphere is amazing. Owner is very much part of Bon Vivant and It also Boast obe of the nicest patios I have ever scene

Great food and atmosphere

The front staff are very kind and friendly but the kitchen staff do not take allergies seriously.

Booked for a holiday staff party. On the day of, staff was confused about our reservation that we had done over two months prior. We hoped to have a private space and there was a misunderstanding on how many people were needed in order to do so. We were told that even if the public was allowed to enter the restaurant, that the general population does not consist of mainly CEGEP students. This was a concern since we are all teachers and were looking forward to having a private space to ourselves. The pub was filled with a very young crowd and no one was being carded at the door. Two customers even approached two of our attendees to purchase them drinks at the bar. The service was good and Dominique did do her best to accommodate us but unfortunately many of our guests cancelled last minute knowing that we did not have a private space to ourselves. Would not recommend for a mature crowd unless you have 80 guests reserving and you can have the space to yourself.

Good food and service. Enjoyed the ambiance.

Other people have said they've had a good time here I was packed when I was there with a bunch of work colleagues and the service was awful with the food not being much better.

Amazing service. Quick and friendly. Will definitely be coming back!

Great place for drinks after work.

Average place, with average beer and average food. It's fine.

Great place for party rental, live music nights or great finger food and drink selection. True fun pub to hang around.

I ordered two Gin&Tonics for myself and my friend and it was equivalent to drinking just tonic. I ordered two shots of Gin to make our beverages doubles and noticed the Gin was watered down... significantly. I spent 30$ last night on fizzy water. I mentioned it to the bar tender and HE SYMPATHIZED WITH ME!! leading me to believe he knows the owner is watering down alcohol. I did swing by after a friends show at 2am when the bar was filled with 18year olds, but I never imagined an establishment would try and pull this on a young generation who are new to alcohol. It's dangerous, they assume they can handle more alcohol than they truly can which is obviously very dangerous!

I came in with a large group, after an intense Rugby practice, ordered butter chicken with rice and naan bread, and a ginger ale. I watched everyone else get their drinks and food. I reminded her I'm thirsty and hungry too, she nodded and headed straight for the kitchen. She came back with a ginger ale, but after 3 or 4 more 'wheres my food?' reminders, and 60+ mins, nothing came. I watched everyone get their meal, eat their meal, and start to pay for their meal, before she recognized that my order was never inputted into the computer. I left hungry, and disappointed. I gave it 2 stars because I still like the location and the style of the building.

The food was great but the service was horrible...Very disappointing how the staff is unqualified. Good job to the chief in the kitchen who kept my overall rating average.

The Texan burger was bland. The overall flavour was charbroiled burger and no hint of the tasty sounding bbq sauce. The portion was an excellent size and I couldn't finish it or the fries (which were good). I ordered a pint but my waitress canceled my order without discussing it with me because one of the people at my table ordered a pitcher (that I didn't know about, agree to or had anything to do with) of the same type of beer. I was offended that she would cancel my drink order and reordered that same pint again. If the taste was the burger wasbetter and if I didn't have to order the same pint twice I would've given my review a 3 or 4 stars.Edit: This occurred April 30th at 2pm.

Great food! Nice atmosphere - this is popular for federal government workers, quick lunch. Worth the money in my opinion! :)
