From the team behind Ristorante Beatrice, Améa is a Mediterranean-inspired gourmand resto / pizzeria + coffee shop nestled within Montreal’s historic Maison Alcan building.
Derived from the French word "âme" meaning soul, Améa is an ode to the vision, warmth and heart behind our menu.
Améa Café comes across as a bright, spacious, and stylish hub in downtown Montreal with multiple seating areas that invite studying, socializing, or a casual cafe visit. Reviewers praise the coffee and pastries, with standouts like the pistachio latte, croissants including pistachio-filled and raspberry variations, shakshouka, and a wide range of brunch options; the ambiance and decor are frequently highlighted as welcoming and conducive to work or meetings. Some downsides include noise and crowds during peak hours, occasional wait times, and mixed service experiences, along with notes that laptops and seating can be constrained during busy periods and that orders or payments could be smoother.
Came here for brunch & had a wonderful avocado & mushroom crostini. Was not too busy despite coming on a Saturday at 10:30. The decor & vibes were beautiful to enjoy with company or to study. Definitely worth your time to check out if you are in the area.
Absolutely my favourite place in Montreal! You can taste the quality of the food, the beautiful atmosphere & enjoy a great cappuccino! They have a variety of food, you can choose from pizza to a salty croissant (which is delicious), or lot of sweet choices! The round croissant are so good! The stuff is very polite & helpful! A must try & then you won't change it anymore :)
Beautiful café with a lot of places to sit. My kids loved the tables that looked like little houses. They also loved the seating with all the colorful cushions. I had a cappuccino & my kids the hot chocolates. We love the designs on our drinks. I tried the Dubai cookie. If you love chocolate, this is the cookie for you. Beware, sugar rush. My daughter had the raspberry'supreme.' It looks like a rolled up croissant with fushia cream on top. We both loved the pistachio cream & raspberry jam inside. It was divine. My son had a normal croissant. It was really crunchy outside & fluffy & buttery inside. It's a bit expensive but the quality is there.
Lovely place to hang out for a while, I saw a lot of people working there, finding a free table is a little bit tricky, we had a slice of pizza & some pastries, they were all very good, beautiful building & atmosphere. One of the many Cafés in montreal worth the visit
Beautiful & fancy. I had gnocchi, my daughter a salad & my wife a crostini . All good. A lot of students alone doing homework, or whatever is that they do, lol.
This is a beautiful ambiance with different pastries & brunch options. However, there is no services after receiving foods & if you need an extra plate, utensils, bread or any other side requests you have to turn back to customers line & wait long to talk with cashier. We asked an extra piece of bread & they charged 7$! Unreasonable price for a bread & inconvenient customer service in a sense that needs to back to the line just for such a small request! In the matter of food quality, we ordered Shakshuka & supreme croissant. The Shakshuka was delicious but the breads were super stiff & the croissant taste was average. There is still a way to improvement.

The vibe is fantastic, beautiful spacious place to work, meet friends/colleagues, chill or have a nice brunch/food. Different furniture setups for various preferences. I tried cheese & mushroom toast which was great & a dessert with coffee. They were tasty & great.
Beautiful spot, very crowded. The line outside goes by pretty quickly. You have to order your food & the counter & they bring it to your table. A little pricey but quality & quantity of plates explains it. The coffees were great & the pastries delicious.
Bistro with okay sandwiches, nothing more. It looks so great on Google, I couldn't wait to visit. As a result, I got a cold so-so sandwich for the price of a main meal in a fancy restaurant. The decor is beautiful, & the service is friendly. Food is totally not worth it, but I might come back for a cup of coffee.
