Améa Café is widely celebrated for its stunning architectural design, spacious atmosphere, and vibrant, cozy energy that makes it a popular destination for working, studying, or socializing. While the overall ambiance and visual presentation of the Mediterranean-inspired menu receive high praise, experiences with food and service quality can be inconsistent. Many visitors rave about the delicious pastries, unique desserts, and flavorful brunch items like the shakshouka, though some have noted concerns regarding portion sizes, pricing, and occasional service delays or communication issues during busy periods. Despite being a bustling hotspot that can get quite noisy, most customers consider it a must-visit location in downtown Montreal and appreciate the variety of fresh food and beverage options available throughout the day.
It's great place for desserts in a well-designed huge sitting area. Friendly staff. Eclair raspberry tasted amazing not too sweet. Burrata crostinis is a great visual open-bread with natural seasoning in a small portion. a bit pricy not fulfilled. it's different from the original burrata.
Quel bel endroit où travailler, échanger tout en se régalant. Une cuisine méditerranéenne très bien exécutée à prix doux. Ces restaurateurs ont transformé un lieu sans âme en cantine sympathique pour les entrepreneurs en médias & en tech montréalais. & même si ce n'est pas votre cas, ne manquez pas de vous frayer une place. C'est inspirant & délicieux.
Came here for breakfast & thought my food was just ok & seemed a bit expensive for what it was. Wife got the mushroom danish & a coffee & loved both of them. I got a cinnamon roll (room temp) & a mushroom crostini. Was not impressed with the cinnamon roll as it tasted a bit stale. The crostini was pretty good, but can't say I would ever get it again. Overall, I didn't love this place for a main course, but would be willing to give it another shot for pastry. Also, the building is really cool & the service was good, so more of an issue with the food vs the place in general.

Endroit de restauration sympathique & atypique. Clientèle variée & aménagement de tables original permettant de créer des espaces intimes & chaleureux, selon l'envie du moment. L'offre alimentaire est excellente ; fraîcheur & saveurs sont au rendez-vous. Le service peut tâtonner quand il y a bcp de monde mais l'assiette, le café & les pâtisseries pardonnent largement !
I specifically asked for syrup in my latte & paid extra for it, but it was served without it...on top of that, very messy disorganized service, staff all over the place, no one doing their job, they look visibly lost & confused, no one can tell where the line starts, who was here first, staff having trouble understanding BOTH FRENCH & ENGLISH....how are we supposed to get our wait & money's worth? ever heard 9f training, proper organization & professionalism? CHAOTIC PLACE & teams
The staff very polite, interior is excellent & a point of something new. I fell in love with the'theme' of the cafe. It's like my go-to study spot now! There is so many spots like high chairs & tables, or cozy areas to sit & its really quiet. Music isn't distracting.
