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 se présente comme un endroit lumineux et spacieux, élégant, au centre-ville de Montréal, avec de multiples espaces pour étudier, discuter ou simplement prendre un café. Les avis louent le café et les pâtisseries, avec des coups de cœur tels que le latte pistache, les croissants pistache et framboise, la shakshouka et diverses options de brunch; l'ambiance et la décoration sont souvent décrites comme accueillantes et propices au travail ou aux rencontres. Certains points négatifs mentionnés comprennent le bruit et la foule aux heures d'affluence, les temps d'attente, le service parfois inégal, et des remarques sur la gestion de l'espace et des places pour ordinateurs portables; d'autres apprécient le cadre et reviennent, tandis que certaines portions peuvent sembler petites par rapport au prix et la qualité des plats peut varier selon les visites.
Love the cozy decor inside, the hanging plants & ceiling lights really add to the experience. Lots of tables & seats to chill, hang out or do work. I ordered an iced matcha latte & it was nice & refreshing, not too sweet. Service was busy but very efficient. I like the restaurant pagers they use to notify you when your order is ready.
Beautiful study spot with amazing food to get me through finals. It's a bit pricey, but so is everything nowadays. The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous & all the pastries looked incredible! I came on a Sunday just after opening & stayed all day until closing at 3. The place was packed the whole time!
I had the shakshouka. The crispy chickpeas & pomegranate seeds on top really put this over the top. So so delicious & very filling.
This place has its own unique atmosphere, delicious cuisine & pastries. It is a good place to work on your laptop or spend time with a friend. Sometimes it's too busy & noisy so not very comfortable to talk.
The place is nice, the server was friendly, the pastry good. My only issue is that it's a very popular space to work & my friend was looking for a place to plug in his laptop. There are three tables like this with plugs on the top, but then we noticed that the tables aren't connected to anything so the plugs don't work, which is weird.
However, I also saw a woman with her tiny dog sitting there & everything that I've seen says that Québec law forbids dogs inside eating establishments unless it's a service dog, & I saw this woman walking her dog before finding a place to sit
mea Café is one of those polished, design-forward café-restaurants that leans more toward a'high-end cafeteria' than a traditional coffee shop. Located inside the historic Maison Alcan, the space is a standout: large, bright, with high ceilings & a refined, almost architectural feel.
The food is Mediterranean-inspired, with a menu that goes beyond pastries-Roman-style pizzas, salads, vegetable dishes, & brunch plates. Execution is generally strong, with good ingredient quality & clean presentation. Pastries & desserts are a highlight, although consistency can vary depending on the item.
Service is casual (order at the counter, food brought to table), & the place is clearly optimized for a mix of use cases: quick lunch, informal meetings, or working sessions.

Bel endroit mais le service est exécrable. Les serveurs sont insultants & malpolis. Très longue attente pour seulement des cafés a emporter. Ne recommande absolument pas.
Bel endroit ! Les ordinateurs sont permis (même le samedi)! Il y a une grande diversité de nourritures (salé/ sucré/ dessert / pizza/ etc) & les boissons étaient très bonnes !
Je recommande ✨
My go-to place for coffee & relaxation time in Montréal. J'adore la variété de l'endroit. You can make it looks like a new place every time by sitting in a different area 🥰🧡
Horrible. I went at 3 & they close at 4 & they didn't have anything. I totally understand if they are out of baked goods & some food but they had nothing they were sold out of all sandwiches pizza & pastas. It was such a let down if you want food you have to go so early because even thought they say they are open until 4 they literally aren't
Wanted to check out this place for studying & I didn't realize how extravagant it would be! There are soo many seats with a big European vibe. The pizza I got was very tasty along with my matcha latte, but nothing too special, although they do serve the food to your table. I would definitely come back here to study & have a sip of coffee
Bel endroit avec une ambiance agréable. Les boissons chaudes sont bien préparées - nous avons pris des mokas. Le croissant rocher, très garni au Nutella, peut être difficile à terminer seul. L'autre viennoiserie, à base de pâte briochée, est plus ordinaire.
Il peut être utile de demander des précisions sur les viennoiseries & les pâtisseries, car l'apparence ne reflète pas toujours la garniture. Par exemple, un croissant présenté comme étant à la pistache contenait finalement de la framboise.
