Review Summary

Améa Café is widely praised for its stunning, spacious, and Mediterranean-inspired design, making it a popular destination for working, studying, or socializing in downtown Montreal. Many visitors highlight the high quality and beautiful presentation of the pastries, with several specific items like the shakshuka and unique croissants frequently receiving acclaim. While the ambiance and aesthetic are consistent favorites, reviews are mixed regarding the food consistency, portion sizes, and pricing. Service experiences vary, as the fast-paced, counter-order system can lead to long wait times or logistical challenges during busy periods. Despite some comments about noise levels, inconsistent ingredient quality, and occasional difficulties in securing seating, the cafe remains a highly recommended spot for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse menu.

The dessert & ambiance is the best. But the food during lunch is really not that good.
But then again, the place itself makes up for the food.

Have a coffee & a croissant stuffed with strawberries jam & you'll be hooked :)

The quality & the presentation of the food is absolutely stunning. Many other desserts & plates are instagram worthy of pictures. The day that I went the restaurant or cafe was busy. I just wish they would have provided more of a service environment in the sense of serving clients at their tables. Again, the food was great.Excellent value for the quantity of food as well

Eh, it's OK. Pricey, the pictures hype it to more than it feels once there. Still nice. I'd go back to give it another shot.

This has got to be the best cafe Montreal has to offer. I came here on my first day in the city & have come back every single day since. The food is truly incredible! Also, the staff are very friendly & can speak both English & French. My favourite item on the menu was the shakshuka but the avocado gravlax toast was a close second. I would recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Montreal.

I cannot believe it hit the mark on all counts: the desserts, coffee, ambiance, service.

Truly a luxury experience.

Updated review: I retuned & ordered a pesto brie-chicken sandwich with a side of salad.
I cannot believe how bad it is.
The chicken was pre-cooked. I would not expect a $17 sandwich to have pre-cooked chicken. I expected to be grilled upon order. This is cutting corners - & customers catch on.

The chicken was as a bland as can be & was like leather. The combination of pungent Brie & bland chicken does not work & the texture of the melted Brie is gross & slimy. I have never seen melted Brie anywhere else.

Even the pesto was super bland. I don't know how it's possible to get the pesto wrong. Pesto is supposed be full of flavour.

The focaccia is equally like leather. & the sandwich was not even warm.
The salad is so stale & the vinaigrette is super bland.

Overall, way too greasy & utterly flavourless & lukewarm & chewing on leather.

It's insulting that they should serve this to anyone. Do they eat their own food?
