Food looked great but was disappointing & underwhelming.
Tomato salad was ok.
Tuna crudo had no flavor, lacking salt & citrus. It was dressed with bland tomato juice. Had some spicy chili & green grape over it that didn't pair well in my opinion.
Pizza was undercooked & dough was raw & soggy. We politely let our waiter know.
3rd time there, always poor service. It has potential, good pizza, great terrasse, & interior. But wait for drinks & getting bill is too long. & I don't blame the servers. 2 of them for the entire packed terrasse. Time to hire more staff in order to actually make this an enjoyable dining experience.

Le Mile End possède ce talent rare de transformer un simple souper en soirée. On marche quelques rues, on s'arrête pour un verre, on s'installe sans regarder l'heure. Au Coin épouse parfaitement cet esprit : une salle vivante, une terrasse qui capte toute l'énergie du quartier & une cuisine qui semble faite pour être partagée.
Deux mots : vin de macération.
Vous en avez pris un verre? Prenez-en un.
Avec ses notes d'agrumes confits & sa légère trame tannique, il accompagne le repas avec une aisance remarquable, particulièrement les entrées de poisson cru.
Le crudo de thon & le tartare brillent par leur fraîcheur & leur retenue. Rien n'est là pour masquer le produit; tout est pensé pour le mettre en valeur. Des assiettes franches, élégantes, qu'on vide sans même s'en rendre compte.
Puis vient la dorade.
La cuisson est impeccable, mais le véritable coup de coeur se cache dans cette sauce beurre blanc au homard. Riche sans être lourde, profondément savoureuse, elle enveloppe le poisson avec une délicatesse qui donne envie de ne rien laisser dans l'assiette. Un morceau de pain devient alors indispensable.
& les pizzas? Elles arrivent au centre de la table comme si elles avaient toujours eu leur place. Une pâte légère, une cuisson impeccable & des garnitures qui privilégient l'équilibre plutôt que la démonstration.
Au Coin ne cherche pas à réinventer la restauration montréalaise. Il fait quelque chose de plus difficile : capturer l'esprit du Mile End. Une bonne bouteille, des assiettes qui circulent, une ambiance animée & cette impression que la soirée pourrait durer encore quelques heures. C'est exactement le genre d'endroit où l'on revient autant pour l'atmosphère que pour ce beurre blanc au homard qu'on n'oublie pas.
Beef tartare is so delicious! Also ordered the 4 cheese, hot honey pizza. The pizza was amazing & the crust is perfection. The vibe of the resto is really chill & relaxing! 10/10 would recommend, & will be returning! 😊
I also went for breaky & had a cappuccino & the maple syrup crepes, which were very good👌
We got seated pretty quickly before the dinner rush. The waiters were pleasant. However, during the sudden dinner rush, it took us about an hour to get our 2nd course.
Appetizer highlight: beef tartare - melts in your mouth! Appetizer lowlight: patatas bravas - the potato isn't crunchy & there's not enough sauce to make up for how bland it tastes. My partner who's lived in Barcelona was disappointed by this dish.
The sausage pizza was amazing, the dough is so comforting & this was a good place to have a marguerita for a palette cleanser.
As for drinks, the Caesar tasted like a meal & I recommend getting a house drink!
Such a great addition to the neighbourhood, we got to try this new spot & it was very underrated. The tuna carpaccio was insanely fresh & the whole flavour combo was very well done. The patatas bravas with cured speck was very original & a crazy combination that paired super well together. The spritz was very refreshing, can't go wrong with a classic. The Nduja Romesco Pizza was the star of the show, such a delicious flavour combo & not too spicy either. For the price point this place was very well priced so I'd definitely recommend checking it out.
Also, this place is a cafe during the day so that's a plus!
We went there for a quick bite & ended up waiting for an hour to eat- note that it was not busy. Since we only got 1 pizza so I thought ok it might just take awhile for the mains. Turned out the server (might have been the manager) forgot to put the order in lol
This was only discovered when the another server check in on us. Bless his soul, he seemed nervous after finding out what happened. Finally the food came out, & as soon as we started eating, one of the staffs decided to sweep the sidewalk right beside us... Dust for toppings...
Since we had to leave soon, the new server was about to drop the bill but he wanted to check with the manager if he could adjust it to make up for the wait. & then, he returned with some madeleines... like I know you have to leave right now but this is what we can offer so EAT THIS... how unhinged could it possibly get???
I'm leaving a 5 star review solely for the pizza. These things really affect the business so I hope y'all can improve the service eventually. Have never left a bad review but this was truly bizzare
La Dolce Vita di Mile-End !
Un lieu ambitieux, convivial-chic, romantique, foncièrement chaleureux. Un zest d'Europe avec une terrasse fleurie pour un café farniente en matinée ou pour manger dehors. Le service est top & chaleureux (merci Marc-Antoine).
Le soir on soupe aux chandelles, & des vraies !! En hiver c'est magique. Pas de réservation par contre, & donc un peu d'attente l'hiver.
Super déco & fleurs. Mémorable bouquet de pivoines, mais je me souviens aussi d'un triomphant bouquet de poireaux.
La nourriture est elle aussi à la fois classique & revisitée : la salade César par exemple est savoureuse, & la salade de radicchio est signature, je la recommande. Bonnes portions, & bel équilibre dans l'assaisonnement.
Les pizza sont napolitaines, elles sont bonnes mais la Margherita est peut-être un poil trop chère pour être vraiment de Napoli. J'ai donc été tentée par l'innovante thon/fenouil, sauce piquante. Pas mal du tout.
Très bel endroit, beaucoup de goût, de bonnes vibes, je recommande fortement.
