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!

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!

Amidst the charming embrace of Montreal's historic Maison Alcan building lies a sanctuary for the senses – Améa, a place where romance intertwines with Mediterranean splendor. Like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, this gourmand resto, pizzeria, & coffee shop radiate an ambiance that is nothing short of enchanting.

Derived from the word "âme," meaning soul in French, Améa is a love letter to the heart & passion that infuses every corner of the menu. From the moment I stepped through its doors, I was transported to a world of culinary poetry & sensory delight.

The Mediterranean-inspired flavors dance upon the palate like a whispered promise, evoking images of sun-kissed shores & languid evenings. Each bite is a symphony of tastes that speaks of timeless traditions & the artistry of skilled hands. The delicate balance of flavors, the exquisite presentation, & the attention to detail are a testament to the soulful dedication that Améa pours into every dish.

As I sipped on the rich, velvety coffee, I felt the warmth of the ambiance seep into my very being. The Maison Alcan building, with its historic charm, forms the perfect backdrop to the story Améa tells – a tale of tradition, passion, & a love for life's simple pleasures.

Améa isn't just a dining experience; it's a journey into the heart of culinary romance. With every taste, every aroma, & every touch, the restaurant captures the essence of soulful dining. Whether you're seeking a romantic rendezvous or simply looking to savor life's finest flavors, Améa beckons, inviting you to partake in a love affair with food, ambiance, & the very essence of the Mediterranean spirit.

Cool vibes, GREAT coffee, tasty pastries!!!
Had to grab some fresh croissants right out of the kitchen to take for later. Washrooms were very cool too. Waitstaff were very friendly & engaging.
