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 is a large, stylish space with a welcoming, varied seating layout that works for studying, meeting friends, or catching up with coworkers. Reviews praise the ambience, the architectural vibe, and the extensive pastry and coffee selection, with notable mentions of croissants, pistachio desserts, and creative bites alongside Mediterranean and lunch options like shakshuka, pizzas, and bowls. The food and drinks are described as fresh and visually appealing, though several notes point to high prices for relatively small portions and some inconsistency in taste or service during busy periods. The staff and atmosphere are frequently highlighted as friendly and efficient, yet lines can be long, seating may be hard to find at peak times, and some guests report noise levels that hinder quiet work. Overall, Améa Café appears as a beautiful, buzzy hub in the city offering an impressive array of pastries, coffees, and casual meals, with strong value when visiting for a relaxed brunch or casual work but variable experience during peak hours.
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.
The food & the place are instagramable. The ambiance is classy & the food is a bit expensive. The mochaccino is rich & has the right amount of sweetness, coffee, & chocolate. We ordered Patate E Pancetta (5⭐️ for me), Croissant Supreme (3.5⭐️, Cannoli (4⭐️), & Formaggiosa (4⭐️).
Meh. They have vegan marked on the menu but nothing Gluten Free. Kind of irritating. Basically just a salad if you need GF. Seems like a popular local spot but, They could def improve on things. I wouldn't come back
Came for the croissant & got a croissant. The location is great & the concept is nice. There was a line but went fast. The coffee was good. We were a bit disappointed by the amount of filing.

i was recommended this place soo many place & was pretty disappointed with what i got. the pastries looked pretty but their taste was average. i also tried one of their seasonal salads which was very average. still loved the open space concept. probably won't be back.
Everything is visually pleasant! Food, desserts, drinks, lights, decorations, space, interior design, etc. However, overall it's a bit overpriced, & the visual effect outweighs the taste.
Agréablement surpris moi & ma blonde, par Améa café, le service, l'ambiance, le vaste choix de table, une belle vue sur la rue Sherbrooke, leur viennoiserie est très bonne, leur pizzas & pleines beaucoup de choses 😋😋🫠
très belle place pour aller avec ses amis. La nourriture était délicieuse & frais. L'atmosphère & la décoration est très''aesthetic ''. Mais malheureusement les croissants pistaches étaient en rupture de stock. J'aurais voulu en manger 😒

L'endroit est grand & beau, le manger top. Par contre, concernant les boissons je pense qu'ils pourraient mettre plus d'options (smothies ou autres) au lieu que ça soit des jus en bouteille. C'est un endroit quand même très brouillant, mais je ne pense pas que sur ce point ils puissent y faire grand chose. Je le conseille sans doute !
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.
