Mon Dieu

Had the GF eggs on toast - note whilst everything has a GFO it is not coeliac approved as they use the same fryer! Bread was nice though and hash brown was gluten free

I recently visited this gem and I was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with cozy decor and soft background music that made it a perfect spot to relax or get some work done. Food was fantastic—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The coffee was rich and smooth, clearly made with high-quality beans. They also had a good selection of pastries and light meals, including some vegan and gluten-free options. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Service was quick, and the space was clean and well-maintained. Highly recommended.

My partner and I searched across Cowes all morning for a restaurant that was friendly for both Gluten Free and Vegan food. Mon Dieu proved to be one of the only places open, but the standard they held themselves to was impressively low. They had three vegan options available. I went to order the Pumpkin Bonjour only to be told that they were out of that dish. I didn’t feel like ordering the Avo Crushed but there weren’t many other options so I went with it and asked for it vegan friendly. I ended up getting a very small serving of avocado which was impressively unseasoned and amongst the plainest I’ve ever had. I could have gone to the Coles and paid $3 to eat a raw avocado on the spot and it would have tasted about the same and not cost me $24. My partner ordered a Gluten Free eggs Benedict with bacon. They managed to mess the order up by putting Smoked Salmon on it instead and put no effort into toasting the bread, leaving a soggy pile of bacon grease to dissolve the bread beneath it. Next time I’ll go to the Subway down the street. I could get a bigger serving of avocado on toast for a fraction of the price there.
