We enjoyed our visit here at the Gourmet Diem, the food was delicious- I enjoyed a turkey bacon chipotle sandwich. The atmosphere was great and it was great service!

Gourmet Diem is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm, cozy atmosphere and the inviting aroma of freshly prepared dishes. Whether you're stopping by for brunch, lunch, or a quick coffee break, this spot delivers quality, consistency, and flavor.
The menu strikes a perfect balance between comfort food and elevated café fare — fresh ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and something for everyone. I tried the [insert dish you had, e.g., “smoked salmon eggs benedict” or “house-made quiche”] and it was absolutely delicious — clearly made with care and attention to detail. Their coffee is also top-notch, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do.

I have been to gourmet diem before. I got an iced coffee this time, it was $3 more than a regular coffee. I wondered what the gourmet part of it was... I asked when the coffee was brewed and they said this morning. They didnt say anything about what type of coffee it is. Its alright, maybe not worth $6. I might of paid for more ice than coffee. Lol

People need to stop supporting this business. As so many others have mentioned the staff is very rude, especially the older woman and who im guessing might be her daughter. The food is ridiculously expensive for what you get. 2 non alcoholic hot apple ciders, a tiny teacup of soup and a small side biscuit = $28??? My partner and I both agreed we're never going back. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. L'auberge de France down the street is a way better experience.

Sat outside for Blues festival. Waited a while as none customers were taking up tables, rude of them. 4 of us had drinks and finished with coffee and baileys on chilly afternoon. Nice clean spot inside. Did not eat but food looked good. Knowing how busy it was down town should have had a server to serve and protect your Intrests

I live down the street and wanted to give Gourment Diem another try. Probably my 5th time being here and still not a great experience. Super expensive grilled cheese off the bat that’s what I noticed and only this time I convinced myself to try it. It was sad. We spent over 50$ but were told they don’t give out the wifi password to customers. The kid working the register was very kind and patient but the old woman seemed very low on patience today maybe she had a bad day I’m not sure but she came off as rude. They should also have cups for people staying in the restaurant rather than tons of single use plastic. Gross. Tropical sunrise smoothie was bland and caesar salad was very small. I think next time I’ll stick to L’auberge and Benjis for a local coffee. I will return in the future only for a block of cheese once or twice a year perhaps.

After having a broken truck close by, I had a visit to grab coffee and breakfast , I wish we had a place like that in Gatineau ! So lovely employees I wanted to hug them ! The menu is amazing , not all sweet but salty and tasty options ! Beautiful place, if we pass from this town we will absolutely be back 🫶
I love visiting this nice little place. The food is very good. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The ice cream is great too. It tastes like real ice cream. I definitely recommend this lovely little cafe.

I just watched the co-manager (or manager) send home a newly arrived trainee who arrived 10 minutes ago.
Girl was devastated mainly because they couldn't give her a proper reason why they were letting her go. I don't care how good their food or coffee is. I refuse to give money to businesses that treat their new hires and junior members like crap.

Stopped at gourmet diem for a quick lunch to take back to work, ordered a chicken caesar salad which rang up to $20 before a tip. I gladly added on a $2.09 tip (which was the lowest tip option by the way) because the young man helping was friendly and nice, expecting a gourmet Caesar salad (fresh Parmesan, nice chunks of chicken, something to justify the price). After waiting 15 or so minutes, I was met with a very small, very normal Caesar salad. There was 2.5 small pieces of very dry and bland chicken most likely made days prior, no Parmesan, for sure normal Renee’s sale dressing. And it was such a small size for the price. Unfortunately I won’t be back and I won’t be recommending them. If you’re going to say you’re gourmet and charge gourmet prices, please deliver gourmet items!
