La Vida Resto-Bar in Moncton

Delicious food and friendly hosts! Decent prices and food so fresh! Highly recommend. Stay away from the big chains. Support local!

We tried this on a Tuesday night on a vet visit to Moncton. We were very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. Had the shawarma plates with Greek salad, delicious dressing on salads, hummus was really good, enjoyed the meal and price was fair compared to other restaurants. Will definitely go again! November 2024, we went again, sat in our same spot, ordered the same meal! I tried the Fattoush salad this time! It was very nice! Its a simple menu but what we order is always delicious. The owners are super nice and we love the quiet cozy atmosphere and relaxing music and ambience. We tried the Baklava and it was sooo good! A nice ending to the meal!

Excellent food and service

This place is amazing best service and care for the customers that I have ever seen I had a issue with a donair I had that tasted bad it was my first time hearing of them so I gave a quick call and told them the issue they were so nice and kind to me that they told me they could hand deliver a fresh new donair to me to see if it was the donair or maybe something just wasn t right on the one I ordered and I gotta say he was here in no time super nice guy handed me a fresh new donair told me he was sorry and I was so baffled never in my life has a restaurant gone so out of their way to make sure their customer was happy and truth be told the fresh new donair hand delivered by him tasted so good and warm and everything i had hoped it would taste like I recommend this place to anyone who likes good donairs good pizza and good service !!!!

My favorite restaurant and the owners in Moncton.

I ordered two shawarma, one with chicken and the other with lamb and pfffff it was just NOT WORTH IT!! Very disappointing for these prices. Everything was old food, salad in very poor condition in my wraps, even the chicken and lamb meat which was very old and in the end I had to throw it away. Let s not talk about fries, fries that are several days old . I strongly advise against it!

Delicious. We all loved our meals. Would definitely return.

Shifty place, but even more disturbing is the fact that the owner is as crooked as they come. Please dont bother going to this place. Much better restaurants in downtown Moncton. And ya.. this owner scammed me for about 1000$. I was a manager at a different location which is now burned down and rebuilt. Can you say insurance fraud?

This is a wonderful restaurant!! The service was efficient and friendly. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is delicious!! We will definitely be going back soon.

Great everything!

Friendly environment, fast service

Bilingual service

Awesome food!!!

First time at this restaurant and would definately go back...warm atmosphere..very pleasant server...just an awesome place

First time trying Lebanese cuisine and it did not disappoint ! I had the lamb platter and it was delicious. The service was quick and friendly ! Highly recommed

I ordered the chicken shawarma plate with the fatouche salad. I was in Moncton for a few days in March and let me tell you....this plate was absolutely the most flavourful and fresh meal I had throughout my trip. The salad was an explosion of flavours and the rice and chicken was perfectly cooked and absolutely moist and flavoured perfectly. Staff were wonderful. Too bad I dont live in Moncton otherwise Id be a regular. Great great food!

Ive been here twice, first time i had the donair, it was fantastic. Second time i had the beef schwarma, the pita was incredibly dry, and the beef as well, with almost no tzatziki in the wrap. Staff is very friendly and helpful, dining area very clean and well maintained. I will go back at some point, perhaps my last experience was just an off day. It happens.

Vegetarian options: Half of the menu is vegetarian with a few that are totally plant based Dietary restrictions: Plant based friendly

Everything tasted delicious. Best homemade fries. Great music and atmosphere

Excellent

Amazing service, great food !

Great quiet spot to hang out!!

Very good food and nice owner and prices are good and worth it

Went there multiple times and was always impressed with the food...Best chicken fingers Ive ever had. Nachos and Donairs are also amazing. Food and beer prices are inexpensive. Very recommended to try out!

Love the atmosphere. ...quaint and quiet Love their pizza Parking: Limited

Great staff and awesome atmosphere

Food was delicious and service excellent will be going back again soon

The server was extremely friendly. Would go back again.

Got donairs online from here they tasted bad like the meet was imported frozen and the sauce had gone bad wasn t even able to pick out the topping. I might still try the pizza and see but they should stop selling the donairs.

Ordered a Shawarma Pizza and it wasnt great. Dough was undercooked and the toppings dry. Overall very bland. Maybe pizza isnt their thing, the rest of the menu looks tasty.

Raw pizza? ughh

Omg cocktails and atmosphere amazing, will be back with other queens xxx

This little resto is cute. But they should definately take the word pizza out of the title. I was reading reviews and thought, it cant be that bad... well, it took me by surprise when the pizza and garlic fingers was just so bland. I mean frozen has a hint of flavor, this just doesnt. No joke. After carefully examining the crust, I think its missing sugar. For the sauce, its missing a lot sadly. Cant taste Basil, tomatoes...you know that yummy Pizza sauce everyone is use to no matter the kind. Yeah! This one just...has nothing to give. Advice, get rid of the pizza idea. Stick to the bar theme with nachos, wings etc...

Great lunch experience! Good food friendly service.

Food was absolutely amazing, top quality ingredients and flavor.

The chicken shawarma was close to bland. Its not worth the money spent. I cant recommend it based on my experience.

great place

Excellent food and very clean place

First time visit based on previous reviews. Not disappointed. Received an exceptionally warm welcome by the presumed owner. Great menu. Ordered fried clams and Greek salad. Both very good. Would have liked to see more clams for the price, but this may just reflect these inflationary times. Red wine was very good. Seldom have we received such sincere and excellent service. Highly recommend!

Went in at 12pm was asked why I had an LGTBQ sticker on my work badge then asked if I supported it, thinking it was just chit chat I Then ordered and as time passed others showed up 15,20 mins after us. Our water wasn t topped up. The other peoples food was served and more time passed - at 12:55 I was get annoyed got up to asked about food but owner decided to go in kitchen and not come out. Left at the point as it was absolutely ridiculous. Do not recommend this spot as not everyone seems to be welcomed or treated equally.

Amazing food and great service. Good size portions, the coffee is the best !!

Ate here before an event at Avenir. It was very busy. This crew was not organized for a busy restaurant. Staff were pleasant when they did finally serve us. It seemed to be the first day for a few staff. We got chicken wings which seemed to be No Name brand wings. The IPA beer was from NS and it was fantastic. The place seemed clean and the decor was warm and relaxing.

Decent food and quick completion of my pick up order. Pizza was tasty and served hot. Vegetarian options: Variety, as listed on menu. Parking: May be tight if busy season such as Christmas. Wheelchair accessibility: Grade level entry

Friendly staff. Great Lebanese food. Lovely atmosphere and very clean. We will definitely be back. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options complement the traditional meat menu items.

Arrived at the restaurant at 8:30pm to find it closed, the Web site indicates that it is open until 9pm. Disappointed.

Excellent service in La Vida! Sat on the terrace, had drinks, nachos, wings, Poutine... EVERYTHING was perfect on a sunny day! Enjoy

Great atmosphere, quick friendly service and the coffee here is very rich. Definitely coming back.

Went for lunch. The best house greek salad in greater Moncton. Great atmosphere, renovation tastefully done. Looking forward to going back to experience evening dining, and music.

Lovely atmosphere. The food is so flavourful & the owners are adorable.

Stopped in for a drink. Nice change from when it was a Tim Hortons. It has a nice and clean atmosphere. Will definitely go in again to try the food. Been hearing good things about it.

Excellent service.... even though I dont take much its always service with a smile

Seems like a nice place. Dropped in before closing and had a donair wrap.

Was hankering for a Donair.... $40 later, two donairs/fries/ onion rings and side of coleslaw... Never again... donair??????no way, rather have had a bologna sandwich. One star for the coleslaw, only two bites of donair, all went in the garbage.

A Review for La Vida Cafe & Resto-Bar: Stopped in a busy part of downtown a place to try, was not disappointed in any manner. Worth every minute to stop, tried a greek salad which was very tasty & delicate; good by all means & ratio of herbs and sauce and veggies where very pleasant. On top of this, a few garnished olives on salad which made my day! I then proceeded a few days latter to try the burger platter. The burger a moist tender & well done patty of beef! The Burger with a very well balanced garnish & Cheese, made me come twice in the same day... The fries where well seasoned: with some mild paprika, I suspect spices of some sort? I may suggest the seconds with greek salad;-) I didnt try the Bar cocktails, I suspect they may have more hidden Gems all around this professional restaurant! Clean, Modern Decoration; While Peaceful music and Video on screens remind us of travels to destinations. The atmosphere is relaxing while enjoying a meal! La Vida Cafe & Resto-Bar Thank you! I hope to stop by soon again! REYJAL Remy In Beautiful Moncton, New Brunswick; Canada

Had Fish and Chip today and a cold beer. The fish was a little warm and chips were cold. Only ate very little of my lunch. Sue, a very nice girl, did not ask me why I only ate very little of my lunch. She also charged me full price for my beer, went the front sign said it was happy hour. This was my place to have my beer and fries and gravy. I must said that you just lost a customer.

The food is absolutely fantastic, overall its a great little spot. But false advertising (by the owner who justs sits there and drinks ) and waitresses who bring their bad vibes, its such a shame it takes away from the overall experience

Went for the happy hour which was advertised on sign oUT front mentioned this to the owner who then proceeded to later tell my wonderful girlfriend they dont do happy hour anymore.

My new go-to take out. Pizza is soooo good. Cant wait to try everything else. Planning a family dinner there soon. Friendly and clean most of all! Ambiance is so welcoming. AAA+++

Awesome place. Cold beers, great pizza and wings. The owner was an absolute hoot!

Very good restaurant, a la carte service and very good menu, and above all a welcoming and professional staff . This place made me love my stay in Moncton I will come back there the next time I come

Great spot! Really enjoyed the service and the food was amazing!! Had the donair! Will recommend to people

Best customer service in town !

Awesome place great atmosphere. Superb service and Food

I love the La Vida burger and the size is very good............ It would fill your tummy

Great first experience. It was after breakfast, but the owner was happy to make me a breakfast sandwich anyway. I asked for a cup of tea with milk and sugar, expecting the condiments on the side, but moments later he came by with a perfect cup of tea. My sandwich came out shortly after and was perfectly seasoned, very tasty, and generally I could tell there was attention to detail. I will be back here soon. Thanks La Vida Café!

Delicious food, fast service, friendly staff and great atmosphere - I will be back!

The food quality is beyond excellent! The owner and his wife are beyond friendly yet professional. We ordered pizzas and it was the best we EVER had!!! Would recommend this place to everyone!

Server was amazing forgot to get his name. Food was delicious , chicken shawarma was so good !

Very good service, good food, very nice bilingual place

It is an excellent place with very good food and atmosphere but they need to fix the schedule established on maps

Nice place, offers three levels of the atmosphere.

La Vida has a really good pizza and excellent garlic finger. Good crust, great sauce, not too greasy like other places! Issam and his wife and hardworking and very friendly. Had a good chat with him this evening while waiting for my order. They have lunch, too and good prices. Love supporting a local business. Keep up the good work :)

Nice staff! Friendly owner. Nice food.

this place is average at best.it has very small menu. and the food is overpriced.they have decent service but very small expensive menu

A little bit pricey but not too much considering the location. Great staff, food and drink. Very generous portions. Freshly made and they are serious about safety.

Superior coffee. Love to eat there and recommend to everyone!!!

I stopped in for a small takeout order tonight and cant wait to go back! Coffee shop, lunch menu, and evening dining. It has a it of everything. All the menu options look so good and flavourful. Shawarma, falafel, pizza, nachos...and an interesting drink menu, including fruit smoothies. Cozy atmosphere, and a place youd certainly want to visit with friends. Beautiful family. Lots of parking.

Fabulous service and fantastic food.

Just love the place. The owner is so friendly and the food is amazing

Very good food. Reasonable price and awesome service. highly recommend

Very good service, amazing food quality and at a reasonable price. What else can we ask for? This place needs to gain popularity

Friendly staff

The pizza here is great and the price would keep me coming back. Unfortunately, my experience with the lady who handles the register has been negative the two times Ive come here. The first time I came to look at the menu, she was impatient and seemed to want me gone, but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. My second visit I decided to order a coffee and asked the differences between the mocha latte, cappuccino and cafe latte on the menu. She only wanted to answer me with they have milk. I tried to ask her to be more specific but she said she had to take care of other customers and left while I was trying to order. About 5 minutes later she came back and I decided it was best I just pick a coffee than ask any more questions. After my coffee I decided to order pizza but was told if I were to have it, I wasnt allowed to sit in the dining area of the restaurant, but instead close to the register. I didnt understand this, but I moved over and ordered a Chicken BBQ pizza and garlic fingers. When my pizza arrived I noticed it had onions on it, when the french menu only had chicken and mushrooms as listed ingredients. I didnt mind this as the onions were easy to take off, but I figured I should point it out so they could correct their french menu. I told her there were onions on the pizza and immediately she told me I was responsible for my own allergies. I explained I dont mind, but that the french menu was wrong and showed it to her. She flipped it over to the english side where the onions are listed there, so I had to flip it over to the french menu again and read it out loud to her. She didnt apologize for not believing me, only saying she would tell the owner. At this point I figured she just had something against me, but sitting so close to the register I was able to observe her being very selective about who she was short with. With some customers she was actually very nice. A couple of ladies came in and ordered coffee and she was kind to them, offering if they would like a ceramic coffee cup rather than the takeout paper kind. I dont know why, but she never asked me the same and just gave me the paper. Its a real shame because otherwise this was a good experience. The other staff member there was kind when he served my pizza. I would like to go back, but I dont want to be treated so poorly again.

Best pizza in moncton, the crust is soft and perfectly cooked

The meal was a bit disappointing considering the reviews. The fries were not cooked thoroughly from frozen, but still edible. However the chicken shawarma and beef donair wraps were stale and the meat was OK...but unfortunately didnt make up for the others. May have to pass until some changes are made.

Amazing sevice, run by genuine people, great family atmosphere or place to relax for a drink or a coffee after work and have good conversations. Highly recommend it

Delicious pizza; rich, flavourful coffee; delightful atmosphere. I will definitely return!

Really sorry ! The service is well below expectations. The fries must have spent a night in the refrigerator and the seafood was barely cooked. A little respect and consideration for your customers please. I do not recommend this restaurant. Honestly, an experience to be forgotten. Really sorry! The service is well below expectations.

Good food and service

Great food Great people

The owner is very friendly and helpful. The food is simple and well prepared. Try the smoked meat sandwich!

This is the best place to have usual coffee dates. I mean sometimes if we dont want to do anything big like dinner and want to do a simple coffee thing. Than definitely, this place will make your date simple but still special and rememberable. Me and my roomies were just walking around one day when we stopped there. And now its our favourite. We always buy something whenever we pass by it. The exhibition and other decors are just mind-blowing. I love it overall.

This has easily become my favorite place for pizza! The prices are very reasonable, the ingredients are fresh! It taste like my mom wouldve made it! They are very generous with the toppings as well . The owners are very nice and sweet! Now I make it a weekly thing, good location too! The decor inside is cute. Oh and they dont avertise this but you can park for half price(for going to the event center) if you eat there.

Great food, amazing staff and atmosphere.

Place was good fun.

I got the deli sandwhich. Which was 8.99$ on the board. Add 1$ for cheese. Server asked me if I want to upgrade to the platter meal. I say ok. In the end with taxes it was now almost 19$. I understand the taxes but what in the world could be worth that big a price hike? Im thinking rice, salad, pita, drink and/or other stuff... NOPE. It was french fries, AND NO DRINK. not counting taxes they hiked the the price about 7-8$ for f ING french fries and not even a soda drink. Im not eating here anymore.

Fabulous service, great food, cozy atmosphere and a charming couple that run it. One of my favourite places. And now they have a nice outdoor patio to enjoy

Great tasting coffee, warm atmosphere and excellent service.

I love this place! Its worth a visit and the menu provides quite the selection, the decor and the music always pleasent.

Friendly , and my wrap tasted amazing

Try the donair.

Amazing super nice friendly staff Food was delicious

The waitress is a sweet heart. I had the lobster roll it was good, and perfect fries with it.

Super good service! Our waitress Issam is very nice and speaks French and English For the quality of the meals: pizza and fries are excellent Don t hesitate to go there!

Had a great experience at La Vida when one late night visiting Moncton with my family. The owner was extremely hospitable and brought all of our requests into reality, even if they weren t on the menu! The pizza was AMAZING and the drinks were healthily portioned and super delicious! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a friendly, modern but homey atmosphere with a mom-and-pop type staff who do the most to ensure your experience surpasses your expectations.

Beautiful place, well appointed, friendly service and excellent food. Parking for vehicles. Good value for money

The food and drinks were good and our server, Rayanna was very nice, and pleasant the service was excellent. Definitely will come back .

Awesome food service was great in a beautiful little restaurant

Cozy place, nice ambiance and the food is great.

What a lovely restaurant I am a Quebecer and grew up eating real fries...these fries were just that...extraordinary. Beautiful cocktails and delicious red wine. Mocha coffee to die for. Please dont.miss this spot downtown...

nice service good food

Its expensive but pizza was good

Above and beyond. First time order. Now a favorite. Perfectly prepared food. Tried multiple items ,from the diverse menu. All items are elevated versions of classics and favorites. Cant wait to order more !!! Thank You !

Falafel wrap was delicious and priced fair. The shrimp and scallops stir fry was also great but a little on the pricey side. Overall a great experience, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Will visit again.

great food and service.

The food and atmosphere are terrific. The coffee is delicious and well worth a try.

Lovely place full of character Amazing owner and delicious food also many options for vegan/vegetarian Highly recommend this place

Needed a coffee boost between buses so i decided to drop in for a latte :) truly delicious coffee, beautiful atmosphere and really friendly staff!! Will definitely come again

Fresh from the kitchen to the table . Will be back for another culinary adventure. Thanks !

Very friendly staff and a warm, rustic decor. Their coffee, stirfrys, fresh cut fries, etc, are great! Plus, they are fully licensed and show the Moncton Magic away games on a big screen TV. Drink specials too.

I highly recommend coming here. Its a beautiful café with amazing food and very very friendly owners!

Very nice place

Friendly setting and impeccable service

You made me an awesome breakfast, It really made my day. You made it perfectly and too top it off with PB balls for a little sweet LOL. Thanks for making the bagel the way I like it, it was perfect best Ive had in years at a restaurant.

Everything is good, very kind, welcoming staff with a smile every time you arrive and accommodate you, highly recommend

Great unique salads. Pleasant ambience. Fair prices. Owners involved. Personal service. A definite go back again and again.

It was very correct, the service is good and the atmosphere is warm. The owner is nice, my husband had a great time, I didnt really like the chicken (bland) but I would go back without hesitation to try something else!

Enjoyed a cool smoothie here on a super hot day. Will go back to try a meal.

Great service, very nice staff. Food is just ok

Pizzas are amazing, I had place a takeout order. My pizza was loaded with amazing ingredients, and talking with the owner was great.

Nice and cheap place

Another great new restaurant serving Lebanese and Quebec food. I had the poutine. Delicious.

They did a great remodel of the old Tim Hortons. The food was great and great service.

Very beautiful, warm places. A super friendly welcome.

Beautiful atmosphere!...you can find everything!

Super chick and cozy place
