Améa Café

Amea, located in the former Alcan building on Sherbrooke, is a surprisingly large yet intimate resto-café offering expanded selection of pastries & sandwiches for weekday breakfasts & lunch, as well as an excellent selection of premium coffees. On weekends there is an expanded brunch menu with a variety of hot dishes.

For our meals we chose Mushroom Avocado open face sandwich (very good), the Shakshuka (very good, a little on the runny side but with lots of fresh herbs...a interesting take but still good), & the Avocado Pomodoro open face sandwich (also very good...lots of tomatoes!). The coffee options are extensive & I had an excellent Americano.

Ordering is done at the counter (somewhat like a cafeteria style), after which a table number is provided to you & then you sit at any available table you like. There are a large number of tables as well as several two-person "shelters" (a banquet style table with a roof) to which the meal is brought to you. Overall a nice albeit somewhat busy place to have a brunch or quick meal. Enjoy!

I ordered a Shakshouka dish for $20 + tax, what I received was not Shakshouka at all! It was like a watery tomato paste with soma withered vegetables & soft-boiled eggs in it. Totally dissatisfied. Wanted to talk to manager but have been told that the manager is not available! Was about to give only one star, but the coffee was good though.
Not recommended for brunch.

Stopped to grab a bite & coffee after a walk on Mt-Royal. Super cute, great vibes. The brunch menu looked delicious & reasonably priced with various options. We had an iced latte, an iced blue matcha, & a DELICIOUS pistachio croissant stuffed with strawberries & rhubarb (OMG!!) Coming back to try the other flavours 😋

Been here twice!
The service is a bit slow when it gets crowded.
The coffee is good but I like the ambiance the most!

C est sûrement le plus beau café de Montréal dans l'un des plus espaces existant, localisation, deco , couleurs tout est chic class & de très bon goût. Les prix sont très corrects pour la catégorie de cafe que C est. Tout est bon & beau, cafe viennoiseries pizza ... les assiettes qu on a vu circuler paraissaient copieuses & succulentes on reviendra goûter sûrement salades, sandwiches , plats & desserts....

I had the beef tartare. It was extremely small & the raw egg yolk had a weird hard consistency. You're also expected to leave a 15% tip (prompted automatically on the paying machine), for drinks you have to go get yourself?

Bel ambiance, bon café & dessert le seul bémol est que la serveuse s’adresse à moi en anglais & je dois lui demander de me parler en français ce qui semble être vraiment difficile pour elle, de plus bien qu’elle reste polie vraisemblablement cela ne lui a pas plu.
Dommage qu’il devient difficile d’obtenir un service en français dans une métropole de notre belle province…ce qui mérite deux étoiles en moins!

I found the round croissant pastries overrated but their other croissants were soooo good. I would come back for more. The almond & blueberry one is delicious.
Their coffees are also very good.
It is worth to also pass by to spend some time in their beautiful space.
Overall great experience!
