Worst service ever. Walk-in for Brunch, slow service, got our coffee and after 45 mins waiting for food, had to call the bus boy to get the server’s attention and she came with news that they had issue in the kitchen with our order. Is it so hard to make a cheese sandwich and 2 eggs over. Never came to ask for a refill for coffee. They completely forgot about us. Cancelled our order and left without eating. My first and Last time here.

A cozy café in Centropolis. Inventive food, great service and very friendly staff. The warm and elegant decor creating a pleasant atmosphere ideal to either go for lunch with fiends, family gathering or a Sunday "tête-à-tête" brunch. A tiny minus point is, there are too few items on the menu, lunch and brunch are similar, it doesn't take long for me to taste every items from the menu and go through several times before they change the menu.

Fantastic and friendly service. The menu changes every season. The food is delicious and modern (breakfast/brunch style). However, it's 💲💲for the portion. It's a super popular spot so please make sur to make a reservation, especially on the weekend. In the pictures (putting a star next to recommended dishes) ⭐- Burratina and Roasted Figs and Pomegranata to share ⭐- Soup of the Day (Sweet Potato) - Gin & Honey salmon gravlax Bagel - Grilled Cheese - Gaspor Farms sausage and bacon breakfast sandwich ⭐- Egg Benedict skillet with Smoked salmon ⭐⭐⭐- Selection of cupcakes (delicious chocolat and caramel cupcake).

This isn’t my first time going to Ricardo’s for brunch and I’ve never had any complaints. This review is to highlight an incredible employee by the name of Noémie. The service she provided us today was fantastic. She went above and beyond to answer our questions, recommend her favorite desserts which were delicious and just made us feel welcome.

I loved it! You have to try it. The environment, the customer service, the different options you have. I had a savory and a sweet dish which they anticipate we will share and arranged the table for that, so nice. The savory waffles with gravlax was SUPER good and the "pain dore" had an amazing mixture of texture all that I expect from a restaurant. Additionally, you have Ricardo store next to it with 10% of discount if you eat at the restaurant

Updated 2024-08 Food quality has gone down significantly since I last visited the establishment. Had the crab salad for lunch and I'd say it was probably one of the worst salads I've had in a restaurant. The vegetables were drenched in a bland and chalky dressing and the kale stems weren't completely removed which made it very difficult to eat. The crab cakes were burnt and very fishy. Quite disappointing for the price point. Service was fine and quite fast.

Was shopping with my wife in the Ricardo store and after making a substantial purchase, I was advised that a 10% discount was available on this purchase if we had eat a meal at Ricardo Café. Well a very good suggestion became an opportunity for us to enjoy a fine meal for both of us. Something different with prompt service, clean surroundings, different plate settings. Something with a different look altogether. Prices are a bit higher but that goes along with the quality and ambiance. Restaurant was full, so clientele was not a problem. Not rushed in any way, and we will return again for sure. Highly recommended.

Went with high expectation and half of it was fulfilled. Like the style of interior design and the atmosphere. It’s a great place for meeting someone in a sunny afternoon, but the food was a bit below the taste of their deco. The smashed beans on my tartine was a bit old, which made the bread saggy. Taco was nicely presented and the taste was much better. We were greeted in English at the door but there was no English menu offered and the waiters didn’t speak English to us. The store next to the Resto was fun to visit. With purchase in food you can have discount!

I have read several negative comments dating back several months about the salmon tartare and I dont understand why it is still on the menu. It s anything but a tartare! It s a quinoa salad with vegetables and a little salmon. Reduflation? Additionally, I ordered a decaffeinated cappuccino which was not decaffeinated as my heart could attest. The waitress seemed confused about which cappuccinos were regular and decaf. All it would take is color coding for the distinguished ones it s not that complicated!

I placed an order in advance for two gluten-free cakes, specifying that I didnt want any little candies in the recipe. They made a mistake in the order and even forgot to give us the coulis that came with the cakes. It was for a baptism and it was very, very disappointing. Following this bad experience, I still had excellent service (after sales) from Ricardo Media. I will give it a 2nd chance and go back.

They bring us 2 menus in English We went there for the pudding . not on the menu! while registered on the website We were served by 3 different people fortunately a waiter came to see us and he saved everything or almost by his kindness Very disappointed with the service!!!!

My first time visiting the Ricardo restaurant. Honestly I was disappointed, expected more from Mr Ricardo . I had the Salmon tartare and it was tasteless . Maybe too much Quinoa in the mixture and not enough Salmon . My friend had the tacos , they we just ok . The raspberry cheese cake was delicious. Would I rerun ? NO ! Nothing was wow enough to my taste . 2x mojitos , 1 tartare salmon, 1 tacos , 1 cheese cake 106$

LITTLE ADVICE DO NOT BUY RICARDOS PIZZA OVEN, EVEN PROTECTED IN A SHELTER IT WILL RUST AFTER ONLY ONE SEASON. AND THEY DONT WANT TO GUARANTEE THAT, VERY LOW QUALITY

August 22, 2024

Honestly I don t recommend for anyone with a family. I made a reservation 2 weeks prior and when got there they just canceled my reservation and said sorry we need to start closing it was not even their closing time. They were extremely jealous of me and my family how we all looked nice as we were celebrating a birthday. Borderline the woman at the front couldn t handle it. She also didn t like that my family spoke more English pendant que j ai parlé en Français tout le long !!!! They don t know how to speak respectfully at all.

But what a great experience! We celebrated a private event recently with almost fifty people and all the feedback was positive. We were able to personalize the decoration right down to the music played. The glasses and small utensils were collected quickly (dinner cocktail service) the staff was available and smiling, water and clean glasses were always accessible, the food was exquisite and we were no longer hungry at the end of the evening . Having the restaurant to yourself was truly an experience. We really felt that the place and the team were at our disposal to ensure an evening that met our expectations. I will not hesitate to recommend this formula to my loved ones. Thanks again! Vegetarian options: Around half of the appetizers offered were vegetarian and all very good.

Overrated place, I dreamed of a dessert, it arrived on the plate quite poorly presented, even a little crushed... for the rest, a good dish despite the commercial naan breads (certainly..) and good coffee without wow but ok. Waitress who rushed us +++ to order even though the restaurant was 3/4 empty, we really felt under pressure. Not super friendly either. After stressing us out, we didnt see her again and we went to the counter to pay. Brief. $100 for 2 without alcohol for lunch.

A very bright and airy modern French bistro style of restaurant, Ricardo has a very upscale and modern take on breakfast/brunch (they also serve dinner) so this is not your typical diner resto...picky eaters beware and check the online menu first. All the meals we ordered were delicious. Pain Dore (French toast) with vanilla encrusted paste and granola, poached egg with spinach and sausage, grilled cheese with sautéed onions...finished off with a double chocolate with raspberry coulis cake. Definitely a nice place, if youre adventurous and looking to try something different. Enjoy! Parking: Located in the heart of Centrepolis you should be able to easily find free parking...although if at dinner time you may have to walk/drive around a bit until you find something.

I was looking for a café in Laval that was a little quiet where we could have our own bubble. I decided to experience Café Ricardo in Centropolis. Its a café restaurant so you cant come in, help yourself and choose your seat. Although I wanted something more discreet, the spaces are open. and the tables too close together. The waitress seated me in the middle of a long bench even though the restaurant was still empty when it opened. I had lunch: Croque Madame. The egg was not cooked well. I would have liked the yolk to be covered by a thin white layer while still being liquid. It was good though. As already mentioned, the tables are all glued together. When customers started to settle in left and right. I was like sitting with them. I heard all their discussions. Since it was big, it was a bit noisy. Recommended for those going in a group but not solo.

Came today for brunch at 11:45 , and now they are only doing brunch from 9am to 11:30. On their website it says 11 am to 15hpm anyways we took the carbonara and the gnocchi. It was very blennd. I was so disappointed. Service was long as well. Overall experience is a 3/10.. 3 points comes the drink Poir sour which was the only thing good. Based on my experience and price i wouldn t recommend waaaaay over hyped for what it is. Extremely disappointing for a « chef » café . Kraft dinner is better then the carbonara i had.

Since Ricardo cafes have been making cakes, they have become our favorite cakes! They are luscious and decadent, well balanced. However, in recent months, the price of cakes has increased from $35 to $42, without the format having changed. During my last order, I even had the impression that the cake was smaller than before (possibly than my imagination). While these cakes were our go to (we regularly ordered them for all occasions), we now order them much less often. Its expensive, a cake for 10-12 people at $70... For the taste of the cakes and the service: 5 stars and even more! But for value for money, I would say 3 stars. If you have a great opportunity, treat yourself! But in other situations, there are competitors with more advantageous prices.

We went for a private dinner event (a 50th birthday) What a privilege to have been received at Café Ricardo! First of all, the 2 people who were on site for reception and service are gems; very available, outgoing, smiling, friendly, pleasant! Wanted to help us with our decorations, took group photos (offered to do so) Truly outstanding employees! It seems they love what they do!! Then the place; what a privilege to have a space for our group! Everything was on the mark . Plus it s a very pretty and clean place. You can decorate, use microphone, screen and speaker. Awesome The food was excellent! Everything is as beautiful for the eyes as it is good for the palate. For my part I had the beef shoulder and it was divinely good! And what about the cake!!! The drinks (especially La Rosée) were also excellent and your servers were able to create a tailor-made drink for the tastes of a few people! What an opening! Nothing was too much trouble for them. Honestly I give you a rating of 10/10 because its the maximum but it was PERFECT from A to Z I will not hesitate to return when I create a new event or to recommend to my loved ones Vegetarian options: 3 meals offered for the group including a vegetarian version Dietary restrictions: Were able to adapt for a person with allergies

They always have a wonderful and different menu but it s really too bad the kids menu is only available at one location. Why? Makes no sense. I would come more often otherwise, but there s no way my aon will eat any of the adult dishes. Pasta and meat sauce he would love but only the Quebec folks get that.

I have been a fan of Ricardo since his debut. I subscribe to his magazine and have tested many of his recipes. We were off this week and my girlfriend and I went to lunch at her café in Laval. What a disappointment! Few choices on the menu. No fruit. A plate for $21 (ham casserole). It was more like a packet of potatoes in a sauce with a few grams of ham. My partner barely ate half of her sandwich (sausage patty). The last times I felt like I was being robbed like this were in Niagara Falls in a lunch restaurant and at the Cancun airport where a sandwich cost me the eyes of my head. I didnt think I would experience that again in Laval and especially at Ricardos!

This is not the first time we have visited this place. Our visit last Sunday left us very disappointed. The shrimp roll was good but lacked shrimp. And then served with a mini salad, and a bowl of chips. Theres a lack of imagination for the accompaniments. My partner ate the Foccacia salami. The latter was of questionable taste. Also served with a bowl of chips. We definitely expected better from a meal. Disappointing

My review is on price versus quantity, that s why the 3 out of 5 stars, The amount we paid for what we received on our plate, PRICY ! Though what we did order to eat was tasty. Keep your receipts, you get 10% off at his store attached to the restaurant. Not sure if I, we will go back.

I am a regular customer at Ricardos but this time I was disappointed by the service. Neither the hostess nor the waitress ever explained to us that only the brunch menu was available, then we wanted to place the order and at that moment she confirmed the dishes that were no longer available. She then made a request to the kitchen and we had our dishes. The dishes were good and the service afterwards was up to restaurant standard.

Naturellement, puisque c est le café de Ricardo, je m attendais à une cuisine avec des standards (un peu comme l aromate de Jean-François Plante pour ceux qui s en souviennent). J ai pris la cassolette au saumon fumé, les patates n étaient pas cuite, le saumon était archi-sec et la sauce bénédictine était tiède. Je ne recommande pas. Il y a de biens meilleurs cafés aux alentours.

A gem in centropolis! The smoked salmon benedict was amazing. The atmosphere/decorations are modern and very appealing. I highly recommend it compared to Allo mon coco or Chez Cora

Please note this place is not a restaurant. Plate mounted hot/cold table style. Dry and old smoked salmon. The prices absolutely do not reflect the product received. Premade Hollandaise Sauce. The name Ricardo was not reflected there (I have a lot of respect for Ricardo by the way). Without drastic change this place should be avoided.

Aside from the delicious brunch we enjoyed (highly recommend the Croissant doré façon gâteau aux carottes, for a more decadent choice) I felt it equally necessary to highlight the honest staff. After mistakenly adding a 100$ bill to the payment, rather than simply keeping it, a staff member contacted us to alert us. Unfortunately, the name of the lovely waitress that served our table escapes me, however, I still wanted to find a way to say thank you! This is definitely an establishment I recommend and will gladly encourage time and time again!

Great aesthetics, the dining area and presentation are top notch. Not sure where the reputation of great food comes from. Was extremely underwhelmed with the waffle and duck confit. The duck was bland and dry and the waffle was almost indistinguishable from a sponge. Mokaccino and mimosas on the other than were excellent. The wait staff was also extremely helpful and friendly.

Very disappointed with my experience at Ricardo. The food was excellent, but the service left something to be desired. Yet the restaurant wasnt even full. In addition, it s really not made for families: there is no real children s menu and my daughters received their dish after all the adults had been served! We would have liked to have dessert, but as we had to vacate the table by 1 p.m., we couldnt. Really not strong!

December 22, 2022

Many spots available but we had access denied as we didnt booked table for 2. We were refused breakfast because we did not have a reservation and half of the free tables were available. I didnt expect that I would have to make a reservation to have a simple coffee

Really very disappointed with my first visit Very very ordinary food, very long service and I had to ask 3 times for bread and I never received the salt/pepper My shrimp roll was actually a mountain of very dry grated celery root with 5 Nordic shrimps My tartare starter was tiny with no croutons and no taste I wont go back

Rather disappointed with my experience in this beautiful restaurant. I dont recommend the rhubarb Bostock, the single slice of bread was bland and dry. The rhubarb compote was more sweet than fruity. The latte was too sweet. My partners choice, Grilled cheese with beer-braised ham, was better. The bacon was good. In the end, its not worth the $75 paid for two lunches.

I really liked the environment and the service. Everyone was very hardworking, fast and the place was very clean! I loved the cod acras starter, although it didnt really taste like cod, but it was very good and beautiful on the plate. My partner ordered the salmon tartare and didnt like it at all. The dish tasted like water and lacked an accompaniment to satisfy the appetite. The price was very expensive for what it was. I ordered the grilled cheese. It was good but nothing exceptional. The salad that came with it was tiny. The soup of the day was good. I also had a latte and salted caramel. There was a salted caramel drizzle on top but otherwise the coffee had no salted caramel taste.

Very smiling staff, trendy and pleasant place, I really thought I would enjoy it. A little brunch with salmon tartare, the perfect Sunday. My tartare arrived, probably frozen (?) because it was full of water, tasteless, bland. I had to ask for mayonnaise to eat it. Tasteless and indigestible in addition because when I got home, a lot of diarrhea occupied my afternoon. Bravo Ricardo for this great experience!

I went to this restaurant this morning to celebrate one of my friends birthday and I found an insect on my plate. The waitress was very understanding and suggested several options (credit, free dessert, change my plate). I told him that this had ruined my appetite and I asked him if the restaurant could also pay the bill for my two other friends (one of them had chosen the same plate as me). The waitress told me that she could not make such a decision and that she would contact her manager. The manager came to tell me that the restaurant could not pay for the two other people who were with me because they had finished what was on their plate and they had not found an insect. I told him that the friend who had taken the same plate as me had not finished her plate because she too was disgusted by the situation and that our plates had probably been prepared together. The manager was neither courteous in her response and seemed bothered by my request and ended up telling me if you want, don t leave her tip and left. I can understand that my request to pay for all 3 plates was not accepted, but I find that the approach of this manager was not adequate or professional knowing that the lunch of a customer (me) had been ruined by an insect that wasnt a fly or an ant.
