Review Summary

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 food is perfect but the waiter wasn't respectful to us

Ordinary. Too expensive for what it is.

Delicious food! I'll definitely go again to try more things 🤤 despite it was full, we got a table quick. The only down side is the system they have to order food & beverages. Not very efficient or comfortable...

Dimanche j'ai essayé le brunch! Quel deception! Le Café été plain & nous avons choisi une place plus romantique pour une sorti en amoureux. Le serveur nous a demandé de partir car est réservé! La table n'était pas de tout réservé une autre couple a occupé la table tousuite après sans aucun problème. Très mauvais accueil! La nuriture été tres basique & super chère à l'exception de les croisants suprêmes!

1.the host at entrance was such a snob. She kept us waiting on the side & we weren't given a table until a local friend who knows french spoke to her! 2. Our food came cold. Like very cold & very late 3.The noise level is very high in this place

Stumbled upon this hidden café gem in downtown Montreal, & wow, it's a game-changer for business meetings! This place is not your average café - it's spacious, flooded with natural light, & has an unbeatable vibe that just fuels your productivity & creativity. It's perfect for escaping the office or those repetitive video calls. They serve up some delicious lunch options too, but here's a pro tip: schedule your meetings before noon. It's quieter then, & you'll easily snag the best spot before the lunch rush kicks in. Trust me, after a productive morning meeting in this energetic atmosphere, you'll be ready to dive into their lunch menu. Definitely my new go-to for business meet-ups in Montreal. It's like this café was made for brainstorming & deal-making, all while sipping on great coffee & enjoying the bright, welcoming space. Don't just take my word for it, experience it for yourself!

Café art deco moderne, extraordinairement spacieux, aéré, parfait pour trouver l'inspiration & la créativité si vous êtes entrepreneur/digital nomad.Tres bon latte. Délicieuses pizzas pour le déjeuner. Idéalement situé sur la rue Sherbrooke à proximité du Sofitel Golden Mile & du Musée des Beaux Arts. Je recommande vivement cet endroit !😊

Cadre agréable, plats appétissants, prix corrects mais honnêtement le concept est à revoir en particulier les fins de semaine. Trop de monde, temps d'attente excessif & organisation peu efficiente en cuisine. Il y a trois files à faire: une première pour rentrer dans le restaurant & avoir une table, une deuxième debout pour commander son plat & une troisième toujours debout pour commander ses boissons. Les plats sont livrés à la table. Compter 45 minutes au total si vous êtes chanceux & si vous avez compris le concept.

Le gérant du restaurant n'est pas aimable. & donne envie de partir plutôt que de rester. Je suis une habituée du café depuis l'ouverture & je viens 2/3 fois par semaine. & son attitude ne donne plus envie de venir.
