About

Arabica Lounge delivers an authentic fusion that bridges Middle Eastern traditions with distinct Basque culinary influences. The menu features carefully seasoned grilled meats and aromatic mezze platters that emphasize fresh, high-quality ingredients. Beyond the savory offerings, the kitchen prepares specialized pintxos that highlight the coastal heritage of northern Spain through refined preparation techniques. The interior design incorporates elements that reflect a contemporary aesthetic, creating a focused space for patrons to engage with these diverse regional flavors. Expertly prepared small plates allow for a structured exploration of varied textures and bold seasoning profiles. This establishment prioritizes consistent culinary output through a meticulous approach to ingredient sourcing and traditional recipe implementation. The result is a precise manifestation of cross-cultural gastronomy that maintains structural integrity across both its Levantine and European inspired selections.

Nice place

I don't like the fact that they don't gave us a printed bills before we pay. I feel like sometimes they over charging us. The last 2 time we went there the waiting time to get a service at our table was HORRIBLE. We waited 30+ minutes to have a waiter at our table, she took our order & we wait another long time that we almost left even if we orders our drinks & the Shisha. Outside of that the atmosphere is really nice, we listen good music, the people going there are friendly.

I've been a loyal customer for years, visiting weekly. However, during the F1 weekend, I was shocked to be significantly overcharged without any prior warning. This happened on Sunday night after the F1 event was already over. Such a lack of transparency & respect for regular patrons is unacceptable. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

Service is trash, prices are insanely high & they charge you more than the actual price on the menu. I paid 35$ for a sandwich. Never spending another $ there.

Tipped 15% m & the waitress with the fake lips & curly hair made a comment on the fact that next time, the tip should be minimum 18% lol. Why would I give you 18% when your service wasn't even good? Better be grateful that I even give you a tip.

Arabica Lounge has been a mainstay for our trips to Montreal for over 10 years! Not only is the food & service excellent, it has a very unique atmosphere - modern where it counts, but tucked into an historical building on a quiet side street close to the action on St. Catherine. The crowd is young & fun without being too rowdy, it's filled with positive energy but you can still carry on a conversation. The hookas are always clean & they exclusively use coconut charcoal, so the smell, taste & management of your hookah is simple & very pleasant. We enjoyed several hours together & left happy as always with the experience!
