Excellent service, coffee & patisserie. Jardinaire pizza was a touch salty (bring?) but lovely chewy-crispy dough hit the spot. Great place to WFH with natural light & lovely wood amphitheatre-style seating to perch on & people-watch. Will be back!
Delicious! I got the patate e pancetta pizza - where I'm from, mashed potato pizza is a'thing,' so I was primed to like it. This was more refined than what I'm used to - thicker crust, less salty - but really great. My kids loved it there, too.
Sehr stylisches, großes Café mit Pizza, belegten Bagles, Salat und Frensh Toast zum Nachtisch. Der Kaffee ist sehr gut. Hier machen die Leute Pause, arbeiten aber auch am Laptop, bund gemischt Publkum, eher businesslastig. Selbstbedienung. Das Essen ist lecker, die Preise gehoben. Leider ist es wirklich sehr kalt hier drin. Und laut. Ich könnte mich hier nicht konzentrieren. Insgesamt empfehlenswert. Abzug wegen Kälte, Preis und Lärm.

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 ✨
Horrible. I went at 3 & they close at 4 & they didn't have anything. I totally understand if they are out of baked goods & some food but they had nothing they were sold out of all sandwiches pizza & pastas. It was such a let down if you want food you have to go so early because even thought they say they are open until 4 they literally aren't
Wanted to check out this place for studying & I didn't realize how extravagant it would be! There are soo many seats with a big European vibe. The pizza I got was very tasty along with my matcha latte, but nothing too special, although they do serve the food to your table. I would definitely come back here to study & have a sip of coffee
Large, open area. We went for brunch on the Saturday of Easter weekend so it was busy. Our group of four sat at a long table with other groups. You order at the counter, then pick up your coffee when it's ready & food is brought out to you. Cashier was friendly. We ordered the vegan Caesar salad, chicken pesto sandwich, prosciutto caprese sandwich & the cheese pizza. We all enjoyed our food. The side salad with the sandwiches was very tasty - loved the vinaigrette & the fresh ingredients. The pesto in the chicken sandwich did not have much basil taste but overall the sandwich was delicious. We will return every time we visit Montreal.
Un sitio enorme para pasar a comer algo rápido con gente del trabajo o amigos. Ambiente joven y de mesas con ordenadores.
La comida muy normal. Precios asequibles. Mesas corridas y apartadas.
Pedimos dos trozos de pizza. Muy de microondas. Y una cerveza.
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
