What our Thunder Bay guests say.
“Stopped by Laviche Cafe with a friend, and we were both really impressed. We each ordered the chicken parm sandwich, and it was delicious — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. The food came out fresh and hot, and the portion size was just right.”
“Great addition to the Thunder Bay food scene. A must try either for lunch, dinner or just a drink and apps for date night. Thank You Marcy and team for making our evenening extra special. Food was delicous and service was excellent!”
“I stumbled upon this cafe and restaurant on Easter Sunday, they graciously found me a spot to eat and provided delicious food. Wonderful staff and owner and chef, I look forward to future visits when in the area.”

Laviché Café
It all began with a grazing board.
We started in 2021 making charcuterie and cheese grazing boards for Thunder Bay.
You kept asking for more, so we grew into catering, private events and a dining room with a tasting menu, Family Night and Weekend Lunch Club.
Plates, wine and our café.
