Had a really nice BLT and coffee, great service Thanks
Great food and service… will return!
I've been here a few times now. Always exceptional food, pastries and coffees. So impressed with their vegetarian quiche. Staff are great. So friendly and welcoming. Menu has a good variety. Nanaimo bars and Pain Au Chocolat are super!! Highly recommend if you're visiting Nanaimo.

Mon Petit Choux serves exceptional dishes, including the best Eggs Benny with a twist, featuring eggs on a butter-fried croissant. The restaurant also offers delightful treats like Nanaimo bars, which customers find fresh and tasty, making it a must-try. The ambiance is pleasant and eclectic-chic, providing a welcoming and unpretentious atmosphere where guests can enjoy good food and friendly service. While some may find the service slow at times, most appreciate the attentive staff and large portions that ensure no one leaves hungry.
Customers praise the delicious tiramisu, noting its strong coffee flavor that melts on the tongue, and highlight the beautiful setting and lovely presentation of food. The menu features items like the Smoked Salmon Benny served with crispy potatoes, made on in-house croissants that are as good as those in Paris. The breakfast bowl with tofu is also highly recommended, catering to both vegetarian and meat options. For those looking for a snack on the go, the croissants and baguette are available for takeout. While some reviews mention that the coffee, particularly the Americano, could be better, others enjoy the excellent espresso coffees offered.
Overall, Mon Petit Choux stands out for its high-quality bread and thoughtful sandwiches like the roast beef with brie, caramelized onion, and garlic aioli on house-made baguette, along with its excellent tomato soup. With big windows and local art, the casual atmosphere makes mornings feel easy and relaxed. The restaurant is considered a hidden gem and a top standard on Vancouver Island, setting a high bar for others.
