Do yourselves a favor, avoid booking any events at Le Vieux Four de Laval. Total lack of business sense and professionalism on the part of the owner Martin Baron. I’ll let you be the judge, just by reading his response to Chelsea Spinelli’s review. Martin doesn’t really care about you as a customer, no prior notice that her event was being cancelled by him towards a dollar benefit in hosting a bigger event. Thank God Chelsea called 3 days before to confirm. Special thanks to Joey from Restaurant Bocci in Lasalle that went out of his way to the last minute to accommodate the 52 guests for the event me my wife and kids being some of them.
What guests say about Restaurant Le Vieux Four de Laval
Reviews often highlight very good pizza, well-liked Italian dishes, and a warm atmosphere, with several customers enjoying celebrating special occasions there. Service is sometimes described as excellent and attentive, but other comments mention billing errors, a lack of clarity, and disappointing communication when booking events. The experience therefore seems uneven, with good meals but reliability to keep an eye on, especially for groups or events.
Reviews / Ratings for Restaurant Le Vieux Four de Laval
My sister had organized a 52 person party and booked it with the owner 3 months prior. Three days before the event, she called to confirm and they told her that they have a 150 person-wedding that day, and her event was nowhere to be found in the booking information. This shows a lack of professionalism and we remain extremely frustrated and disappointed as there was 0 compensation. To us, it seems as though they decided to prioritize a larger event as it would bring in more money. Whatever the case may be, I would reconsider booking your event here.
Beyond disappointed with this restaurant. Thank goodness I called 3 days before the event to reconfirm my reservation—otherwise, 52 guests, an event planner, and the birthday guest of honour would have shown up to a restaurant that had no space for us. I booked this party 2–3 months in advance and spoke directly with the owner, Martin, who assured me there was plenty of availability in May and that I had nothing to worry about. He confirmed the reservation and even mentioned he could arrange a DJ that night “free of charge.” When I called to reconfirm, I was shocked to be told by his partner (who I believe is his wife) that it was “impossible” I had spoken to Martin because he had been on vacation at the time. Being dismissed and essentially told I was making this up was incredibly unprofessional. She also claimed there had been a wedding of 150 people booked six months prior—so which is it? To make matters worse, Martin wasn’t available when I called, and I was told to “wait until tomorrow,” despite the urgency of the situation. I was left scrambling to find another venue for a large group at the last minute. When Martin finally called me back, he claimed someone had contacted me to cancel and left a voicemail—which is simply not true. I keep my phone on me at all times for work and received no such message. The explanations I was given by Martin and his partner were inconsistent and dishonest. While Martin tried to sound apologetic, there was no accountability and no real attempt to make things right. No solution, no accommodation—nothing. The lack of organization, communication, and basic professionalism is unacceptable. I would strongly caution anyone planning an event here.
The best Pizza
Very good italian dishes but pizzas are excellent. Very friendly staff just had to ask twice a couple of times. The lady seemed to be a little confused but with great sense of humor. All was perfect. Great place to go.
Absolutely fantastic. We all had a fantastic time . Going back..
Amazing serious I go so often
There is not enough light.
We went for my father’s birthday last Sunday and it was great. My two boys ate for free and loved the pizza. The food was delicious. The service was excellent, our waitress was very sweet and professional. Great atmosphere and nice looking restaurant. I’d definitely recommend it
I had an Alfredo pasta it was delicious. The taste was on point. I will definitely come back again.
