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.
Cute place, I understand everyone that wants to visit.
Food was ok, it wasn't mind blowing, the pizza was the best part of everything we tried.
The coffee was ok, I personally wouldn't do the line for it again. Whoever their cookies are amazing!! The tables are close to each other which makes the experience not as pleasant & not worth the price.
Overall good coffee shop, would only come back for a quick snack & if it isn't crowded
I had the tartare with chips & the cannoli that featured two flavors in one - really tasty. Considering the ambiance & the quality of the dishes, I found the prices quite reasonable. The place is beautiful, & the options are great! Perfect for a foodie adventure with a group of friends, with a nice variety of culinary choices.
They have a nice choice of sandwiches, pizzas, & meals. The decor & space is lovely. We were disappointed to arrive to see they are temporarily closed. I had visited the website & there was no indication. Several people arrived at the entrance & were surprised that the website hadn't indicated the temporary closure. We were sorry not to be able to eat, & will return, but wanted to leave a friendly suggestion to the owner that they could communicate better with customers!
Très surpris par ce café ! Déjà, le lieu est unique & authentique. Le choix est immense, avec tellement de choses qui mettent l'eau à la bouche. Pour en avoir goûté plusieurs, je dois dire que j'ai vraiment adoré ! Les suprêmes, les tartes, ainsi que les biscuits ou cookies, sont tous merveilleusement bons. Puis, le lieu & l'ambiance rendent l'expérience d'autant plus agréable. Tout est top ! C'est un café dans lequel il faut absolument aller !
Lobby itself is it's own experience not the mention the actual seating area. The plants are all fake, but they add such a nice ambience. The food is AMAZING. The pastries are beautiful & the staff are super polite. To note, the seating by the cafe is not for working, but there is seating inside the building, exterior to the cafe where you can bring your food & study.
Loved the place, the food was excellent & very tasty. You can tell that they use very good quality ingredients. The place looks amazing, & I felt relaxed & enjoyed the atmosphere. The service was a bit long when we went there, around 1 pm, but the very friendly & kind staff were amazing. They took the time to explain the menu & even gave recommendations. & the pastries....lord have mercy! Will come back for more that's for sure.
Overall, fresh food & ingredients, amazing pastries, & an awesome atmosphere. Recommend the place & I will come back. Thank you for the nice meal. 😁
