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 espace vaste et élégant, avec une ambiance cosy et lumineuse qui invite aussi bien à travailler qu’à se détendre, et une offre variée de boissons, de pâtisseries et de plats méditerranéens où chaque détail visuel semble soigné. Les avis mettent en avant des desserts et des viennoiseries frais et créatifs, des croissants pistache et des croissants supreme, un café de qualité et des options brunch ou lunch appréciables, parfois complétés par des pizzas ou des plats nourrissants. Le cadre attire par ses nombreuses places et ses zones dédiées au travail ou au calme; toutefois la fréquentation peut être bruyante et les files d’attente longues, et certaines portions sont jugées petites ou les prix élevés pour ce qu'elles apportent. Dans l’ensemble, Améa Café est perçu comme une adresse chaleureuse et esthétique avec une offre gourmande et un service sympathique, qui vaut le coup d’y jeter un œil pour son atmosphère et son potentiel de coworking, tout en restant conscient des périodes d’affluence et de la variabilité de certains plats ou pâtisseries.
I haven't tried the food, but if you're looking for a space in downtown to grab a coffee & croissant, & do some work on your laptop, this place is PERFECT. This spot is spacious, & the ambiance is light & airy. The bathrooms were very clean.

Very fancy cafe where they serve pizza, coffee, & baked treats. Some people working, some just meeting for lunch or business. Really nice atmosphere & good for bigger groups... or smaller. I tried the Dubai cookie & it was really rich & sweet. Best to split with another person. I also had a decaf americano & it was good.
You order at the counter, long lines. They deliver food to your table. Coffee must be picked up when the beeper they give you glows red. Our coffee was never prepared. A madhouse as far as service is concerned. Food choices are excellent & tasty. Noisy & not much ambiance.
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

The fungi sandwich is certifiably mid. The Shakshouka, however, is pretty good. Coffee is hit or miss, but usually good. The vibe is 10/10. Too bad thy close at 4.
AMEA Coffee is a hidden gem! Not only is the coffee fantastic, but they also have a bakery inside with delicious croissants, pizza, & a great variety of Mediterranean food. Everything we tried was fresh & full of flavor.
Huge thanks to NADIA for her warm hospitality & helping us choose the best items - her service was truly exceptional. Can't wait to go back!
We went out for a coffee day with our girlies in our traditional attire , it was a great experience , awesome ambience & ofcourse super tasty food , well presented with really great service . Would love to go again 💛
Cozy looking place but didn't feel like it. Very crowded. No place to sit. Espresso was weak & dull, didn't have enough aroma. But the English breakfast tea was good. Service was lacking. Didn't even put the coffee in to go cups when asked for take out at the cash. They don't take Amex either.

Very nice cafe with nice atmosphere & amazing food!
The only thing I did not really like is their coffee. I tried both their iced & hot latte, but I found the taste of the coffee really bitter.
The rest of the food is really good!
Visited this place with my friends. The coffee was excellent, but the food was just okay. I did enjoy the pizza, though. Felt it was a bit on the pricey side.
This is a great'jewel' of a place to visit. Not directly on the street so you need to walk through the lobby. It has a great atrium & an abundance of unique seating zones. A great place to hang out with a great cup of coffee or 2! The pastries were great. A wonderful mix of people from students, to young professionals, to the seasoned wise! This was a great experience!
This place is gorgeous. Quite busy during lunch time but that's a given. My sister & I were kind of annoyed that it was so expensive, but when we started eating we understood why. It was worth every penny! Delicious & fresh flavors & fair portions. We had the kale salad & the shakshuka with coffees. Definitely coming back!
