Good food at a reasonable price, the kutchen crew is lively and attentive to details. Eat at the bar if you want to see all the great stuff they make.

We went to La Bête à pain in Laval for breakfast today. You definitely need a reservation if you want a good spot—we didn’t have one, so we ended up sitting at the counter near the kitchen. The food quality is really good, but just be aware that the prices are quite high, which is somewhat justified by the quality. The staff is very polite. The only issue I had was that I ordered a hot chocolate, and the first time it came out cold. They replaced it, but it was only lukewarm the second time. I didn’t bother mentioning it again.

Hot chocolate wasn't all that. But it's a lovely shop. And the people were nice.

While the baked goods are lovely, staff needs to be better informed / documentation needs to be made available regarding potential allergens in their pastries and breads. My son has an egg allergy and we were given conflicting information on two different visits about whether their croissant had egg wash on it. I know Bête à Pain can do better than that.

Busy bakery. Understaffed to say the least. 1 of 4 Breads was moldy and unfit for sale.

Great atmosphere, amazing pastries and phenomenal service from our waitress Tiziana (I apologize if I wrote her name incorrectly). Truly a gem of a woman. Coffee was amazing as well

The food here is excellent — truly flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Unfortunately, the service and overall experience didn’t match the quality of the kitchen. We arrived around 9 a.m. to a mostly empty restaurant, only to be told we had an hour and fifteen minutes to eat because it would “get busy.” By the time we left, it was fuller but far from packed. Despite all the open tables, we were seated right next to the bathroom, which made the setting less enjoyable. My friend asked if she could have scrambled eggs instead of poached, but was told no substitutions were allowed even though that’s a pretty simple change. She switched dishes, only to receive a very small portion for the $25 price tag. When we politely asked for some bread (it is a bakery, after all), we were told it wasn’t complimentary on weekends and would be $7.50 extra, which felt excessive. To top it off, our server reminded us exactly at the 1h10 minute mark that we had to leave, even though there were still open tables when we walked out. It’s a shame, because the food really was outstanding, but the service policies and atmosphere left a bad taste. I don’t think I’ll dine in again until the service experience improves. This was my second time going with a similar experience.
