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.
Très surpris par ce café ! Déjà, le lieu est unique & authentique. Le choix est immense, avec tellement de choses qui mettent l'eau à la bouche. Pour en avoir goûté plusieurs, je dois dire que j'ai vraiment adoré ! Les suprêmes, les tartes, ainsi que les biscuits ou cookies, sont tous merveilleusement bons. Puis, le lieu & l'ambiance rendent l'expérience d'autant plus agréable. Tout est top ! C'est un café dans lequel il faut absolument aller !
Lobby itself is it's own experience not the mention the actual seating area. The plants are all fake, but they add such a nice ambience. The food is AMAZING. The pastries are beautiful & the staff are super polite. To note, the seating by the cafe is not for working, but there is seating inside the building, exterior to the cafe where you can bring your food & study.

Loved the place, the food was excellent & very tasty. You can tell that they use very good quality ingredients. The place looks amazing, & I felt relaxed & enjoyed the atmosphere. The service was a bit long when we went there, around 1 pm, but the very friendly & kind staff were amazing. They took the time to explain the menu & even gave recommendations. & the pastries....lord have mercy! Will come back for more that's for sure.
Overall, fresh food & ingredients, amazing pastries, & an awesome atmosphere. Recommend the place & I will come back. Thank you for the nice meal. 😁
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.
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.

Massive dining area. Order at the counter & then brought to your table. Many fresh options for sweet or savoury. Loud atmosphere & many students there doing school work.
A lovely spot to relax in the heart of the city. The atmosphere is calm & stylish, with a beautiful view of the greenery outside. The cappuccino was excellent & the croissant fresh & delicious. I was just a little disappointed that there was no grilled cheese on the menu. Still, it's a cozy place I'd be happy to return to!
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!
I tried the prosciutto sandwich & a matcha latte with almond milk. The matcha was average, but the sandwich was pretty good. A little pricey (70 something for two) & busy/loud but overall a cute little place in a office building vibe.

Pretty place, but the food was meh. Average, not great. I had ordered the Aubergine plate. Frankly, it was disappointing. The matcha was bad. Tasted the vegetarian gnocchi, it was good. It was crowded & many tables weren't cleaned.
On the other hand, the desserts were very good & rich.
