"Our first visit to the area from Vermont. Rendez Vous Café was recommended to us. Rather than the usual fare, we had Shanghai Noodles and Asian Soup. Wonderful! The staff was friendly and attentive. How they offer a menu with such a variety is a mystery and a miracle. Highly recommend!"

"Nice menu variety, tasty food and plenty of it. We had their Asian style dishes. Had to take dessert to go! Fun decor and colors. Can eat outside and you will be in shade, but will be right on street. Great staff! We were there before dinner rush but could see about half their tables had reserved signs."

"Rendez-vous Café is amazing! The pizza is absolutely delicious — thin, crispy, and full of flavor, just the way it should be. The Asian soup is comforting and tasty, and the salads are always fresh and well prepared. Great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere — highly recommend!"

"I ate outside on the terrace, which is a a fairly nice atmosphere. I ordered the fish & chips and substituted sweet potato fries for an up charge. It was all delicious. The salad dressing is really nice… very light and lemony. I’ve been here before the inside atmosphere and aesthetic is really great."

"My family and I love coming here. First thing I'll say is always get a basket of fries, no matter what you're eating, some of the best fries I've personally ever eaten. The place is quaint and calm if you go on hours that aren't high traffic, it makes the experience that much better. Since its small, you have to keep in mind that it does tend to get full and loud, but it means happy people chatting away! The pizza and paninis are good, had a matcha latte last time and it was delicious, just like I like it. We are always treated well when we go and the customer service is on point. The only thing that makes me sad is that they run out of their cheese fried fritters often hahaha, but I get it they are so good!"

"Fantastic food and great staff! After an overnight journey to arrive in the Townships, we stopped here for lunch. The food is delicious and buoyed us up to finish the day. The staff was wonderful and used English or French depending upon what we were comfortable with."
