Améa Café est largement reconnu pour son architecture impressionnante, son espace vaste et son atmosphère vivante et chaleureuse, ce qui en fait une destination prisée pour travailler, étudier ou socialiser. Bien que l'ambiance globale et la présentation visuelle du menu d'inspiration méditerranéenne soient très appréciées, la qualité des plats et du service peut parfois varier. De nombreux visiteurs vantent les délicieuses pâtisseries, les desserts uniques et les plats de brunch savoureux comme la chakchouka, bien que certains aient soulevé des préoccupations concernant la taille des portions, les prix et les retards occasionnels dans le service lors des périodes d'affluence. Malgré le fait qu'il s'agisse d'un lieu animé et parfois bruyant, la plupart des clients le considèrent comme une adresse incontournable au centre-ville de Montréal et apprécient la diversité des options de restauration fraîches proposées tout au long de la journée.
Went here for a quick lunch break with my coworkers. it's so green & warm inside w ample seating. got a flat white (which was incredibly balanced) tho i wish i had specific a small one (their standard is a medium). also got a mushroom cheese pastry which was v flavourful, just how you want your mushrooms to be. Lydia was super sweet taking our order!
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.
Great selection of breakfast & lunch foods & lots of seating. Perfect place to meet for a coffee in downtown for a big group. Some, not all, tables do not allow laptops during lunch hour which makes sense.
Upscale cafe in beautiful architectural setting. I had the panzanella salad with chicken added. The salad was huge, fresh, filled with huge heirloom tomatoes, nectarines, plums, olives, homemade croutons that soaked up a delicious vinaigrette made with excellent olive oil. The chicken was disappointing: thin slices of bland, ungrilled, generic chicken. This is a place for a quick lunch to impress. I just wish they would post or tweet when they are closed to the public for a private event.
I really enjoy coming here. I try & get out of my house to work & love that they have a lot of spots for seating.
The Cafe is open early & serves pastries & drinks. You can order to go or stay & enjoy. If I'm not mistaken I think you can order breakfast food from the kitchen but that's it. The Lunch menu / Kitchen isn't available until lunch time. There you will have an abundance of lunch options from sandwiches, pizzas, salads, etc.
I've had their sandwiches, very large portions & very delicious. It is on the pricier side but good nonetheless. If you plan on eating inside the cafe, they give you a number & bring you your food which is nice especially when you're studying or chatting with friends.
The servers are very friendly & the space is kept very clean!
Only caveat is that I wish there were more spots with outlets - there are booths that don't have outlets & it would be better if they did. They do have other spots with outlets available so it's definitely not the end of the world.
Overall, I come here a lot & enjoy my time. Just know if you stay for a long period of time your pockets will feel it lol
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.
wow! i'm thoroughly impressed: amea café boasts a beautiful spacious environment for writing, reading, socializing, & dining. it's cozy & grand simultaneously & i honestly didn't want to leave. i ordered a flat white & their banana freddo (which i didn't know was famous) & both were soooo yummy i had to physically stop myself from overdosing on caffeine. they also serve lunch! i tried their pizza & it was sooo delicious. highly recommend if you're in the area!
p.s. it allows laptops all the time any where in the cafe! heck yes! this is my new writing spot.
