Chez Vachon: Taste Authentic French Canadian Delights in Manchester

The polish benny was a great surprise, excellent blueberry cobbler coffee as well. Friendly staff great service and serving sizes for the price.

This is seriously the BEST breakfast place in Manchester hands down! Great prices, huge portions and you MUST get the loaded home fries!

There’s something special about finding a place that feels like home — not just in flavor, but in spirit. Chez Vachon in Manchester, NH, brought me right back to the old days when families would gather after church for Sunday breakfast, sharing laughter and stories over steaming cups of coffee and hearty plates of comfort food. The food itself was nothing short of excellent — true French Canadian delicacies made with care and authenticity. The poutine tasted exactly like the kind my French Canadian dad makes, rich and savory with perfectly crisp fries and just the right amount of gravy and cheese curds. The crêpes were light, tender, and authentic, while the pancakes and eggs were as comforting and satisfying as a homemade breakfast should be. But what really made the visit memorable was the nostalgia that seemed to hang in the air. It felt like stepping back in time — to an era when Sunday mornings meant seeing familiar faces, chatting with neighbors, and lingering over breakfast just a little longer. That sense of community, so rare today, was alive and well at Chez Vachon. Our waitress, Amanda, was absolutely wonderful — one of the best we’ve ever had. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm, making us feel like old friends she’d been serving for years, even though it was our first visit. We loved the experience so much that we’ve made it a new tradition — returning every Sunday, just like in the good old days. Chez Vachon isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a reminder of what Sunday mornings used to feel like — and thankfully, still can.

Had a great visit to Chez Vachon! It has been a little while since I last visited and it did not disappoint! Crepes were phenomenal as always and I order them with a crispy side of corned beef hash that was perfect. The onion burger was also terrific served with crispy fries! The coffee was hot, the staff was friendly, and the restaurant is an absolute classic. The updated waiting area is also very welcoming!

Ok great staff, friendly and helpful!! Awesome food happy with everything large portions and great prices. We will be back! Thank you Only thing tight park street side small parilor out back.

Poutine with bacon. Need I say more?! YES! Chez Vachon gives you a Pizzeria Steve (Stanstead Quebec) feel inside, with coffee that is better than the competition! I'm half French-Canadian - my blood became part gravy when I finished after taking two sittings to finish Whether you're French-Canadian or just looking for good food, it is truly a welcoming place for all. Loved the blue dishware & heavy duty mug too. Merci!

We had such a great experience here! Our server was fantastic, super friendly, and had the brightest smile that instantly made us feel welcome. Service was quick and so attentive the whole time. I had the crepes with strawberries (absolutely delicious!) and my husband got the poutine. The portions were huge and everything tasted amazing. We left completely full and happy. Definitely coming back!

Haven't been here in a VERY long time. I used to come here when I was a kid & thought I'd come back with my wife for a little nostalgia & good food. I was NOT disappointed. First off I want to say that I was almost shocked at the quality of service from the waitress. She was super kind & well mannered as well as attentive. Always checking to see if there was anything else we needed. Vivianna (our waitress) was truly a pleasant person. As for the food, I had the Supreme Bacon Burger with cheddar & it was AMAZING. The only thing that I can say that wasn't great were the home fries my wife got. They were a little undercooked. Other t than that, the food & service were exceptional. I recommend this place for a breakfast that feels like home
