The quality & the presentation of the food is absolutely stunning. Many other desserts & plates are instagram worthy of pictures. The day that I went the restaurant or cafe was busy. I just wish they would have provided more of a service environment in the sense of serving clients at their tables. Again, the food was great.Excellent value for the quantity of food as well
I cannot believe it hit the mark on all counts: the desserts, coffee, ambiance, service.
Truly a luxury experience.

Updated review: I retuned & ordered a pesto brie-chicken sandwich with a side of salad.
I cannot believe how bad it is.
The chicken was pre-cooked. I would not expect a $17 sandwich to have pre-cooked chicken. I expected to be grilled upon order. This is cutting corners - & customers catch on.
The chicken was as a bland as can be & was like leather. The combination of pungent Brie & bland chicken does not work & the texture of the melted Brie is gross & slimy. I have never seen melted Brie anywhere else.
Even the pesto was super bland. I don't know how it's possible to get the pesto wrong. Pesto is supposed be full of flavour.
The focaccia is equally like leather. & the sandwich was not even warm.
The salad is so stale & the vinaigrette is super bland.
Overall, way too greasy & utterly flavourless & lukewarm & chewing on leather.
It's insulting that they should serve this to anyone. Do they eat their own food?
mea Café is one of those polished, design-forward café-restaurants that leans more toward a'high-end cafeteria' than a traditional coffee shop. Located inside the historic Maison Alcan, the space is a standout: large, bright, with high ceilings & a refined, almost architectural feel.
The food is Mediterranean-inspired, with a menu that goes beyond pastries-Roman-style pizzas, salads, vegetable dishes, & brunch plates. Execution is generally strong, with good ingredient quality & clean presentation. Pastries & desserts are a highlight, although consistency can vary depending on the item.
Service is casual (order at the counter, food brought to table), & the place is clearly optimized for a mix of use cases: quick lunch, informal meetings, or working sessions.
Bel endroit ! Les ordinateurs sont permis (même le samedi)! Il y a une grande diversité de nourritures (salé/ sucré/ dessert / pizza/ etc) & les boissons étaient très bonnes !
Je recommande ✨
I had a nice experience at this cafe. All the desserts & brunch options felt very fresh & had a nice creative touch to them, which I appreciated. It's a solid spot if you're looking for something a bit different than your usual cafe menu. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.
Bonne nourriture, j'aime la pizza, la soupe & les salades. jamais goûté les dessert mais tout donne envie. cependant LE BRUIT mais le bruit infernal. des enfants qui pleurent des gens qui parlent tous à haute voix c'est insupportable. auparavant cet endroit était bien fréquenté & très correct mais maintenant c'est compliqué
