La Vida Resto-Bar — Restaurant in Moncton

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 I've 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 wasn't allowed to sit in the dining area of the restaurant, but instead close to the register. I didn't 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 didn't 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 don't 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 didn't 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 don't know why, but she never asked me the same and just gave me the paper.

It's 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 don't want to be treated so...

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 didn't try the Bar cocktail's, 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!
