Café l'Abri Côtier — Restaurant in Tadoussac

The vibe and ambiance is great, but the vegan options are just ok. With that said, I was glad they offered vegan options as they seemed to be the only ones in town. We ordered the banana and nut muffin which was vegan and gluten-free (they also had a chocolate and banana one) and it tasted like a cake instead of a muffin; way too sweet. The financier was also vegan and gluten-free and it was better, but not great. The vegan savory options included a tofu wrap and a veggie paté sandwich. Both were good, but my partner preferred the sandwhich. I ordered the dragon bowl because that was the only vegan and gluten-free option. It was good as I was hungry, but nothing out of the ordinary. I would say a good healthy option when you don't have a lunch. They also had a vegan affogato which was good. The coffees were very good. Overall, service was quick even if it was busy, there were plenty of seats, large bathrooms, affordable prices, and food was good, but pastries too sweet...

We went here for lunch. I liked the very well organized staff behind the counter who were very well able to handle a constant line of customers ordering food.

The idea is that you order food first then sit further at the back or take it with you.

The coffees (capucino) are served in a large glass. Very good!! I like the couscous salad and the bagel with pulled pork. In general sandwiches incl. bagels are toasted.

So good food, great service, friendly staff, nice setting.

Hi to the Dutch speaking guy behind the counter, though I suspect he was from the French speaking part of Belgium. Tadoussac is indeed a town...

Entering Café l'Abri Côtier you are met with smiles and sents of an amazing small cafe overlooking the St. Lawrence River from the mouth of the Saguenay. I arrived here as part of the Tallship Crew St. Lawrence II during a pause in a delivery to Kingston Ontario. Their latte is notable and expertly prepared with a selection of amazing pastries. I had the double latte and cranberry scone. Worth the stop if you're visiting the town...
