Located at the corner of Fairmount and Jeanne-Mance in the heart of the Mile End, Au Coin is a versatile neighborhood gem that transitions seamlessly from a relaxed daytime café to a vibrant evening wine bar. The unpretentious, wood-paneled space features an open kitchen serving a menu centered around exceptional sourdough pizzas, fresh market salads, and comforting dishes like lasagna, all paired with a curated selection of low-intervention wines and classic cocktails. With its "no reservations" policy and welcoming atmosphere, it serves as an ideal drop-in spot for locals seeking simple luxury and great flavor seven days a week.
Au Coin is described as a warm, inviting spot with an open kitchen that creates a lively, homey atmosphere and a space that feels both cozy and stylish. Reviews praise the sourdough pizzas, the crust, and the butter trio, along with handmade breads, pastries, and the Madeleine dessert, all complemented by a thoughtful wine list and a design that pairs well with the food and drinks. The vibe is consistently highlighted as welcoming and convivial, with friendly, attentive staff and an atmosphere that suits both day and night. Service can be uneven at times, with occasional waits or seating confusion, but when it runs smoothly it feels generous and professional. Some menu notes point to a margarita pizza that was too acidic for some and smaller portions for the price, while others sing praises for the pesto kale pizza and other offerings, and vegetarian options are sometimes seen as limited. Overall, Au Coin is viewed as a standout new favorite for high quality, flavorful cooking at approachable prices, drawing crowds for pizza, brunch, and a lively yet intimate dining experience.
Our evening at Au Coin Pub Gastronomique was nothing short of exceptional. Despite arriving late & making a reservation for eight, the team welcomed us warmly & graciously offered a full kitchen menu - a level of flexibility & hospitality that truly impressed me.
The duck confit was outstanding - perfectly crisp on the outside, tender & rich within. I paired it with a classic whiskey sour, beautifully balanced & true to tradition. It was the perfect complement to a winter evening in Tremblant.
I also had the beetroot & goat cheese ravioli, which was both elegant & comforting - earthy, creamy, & thoughtfully prepared.
The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a mountain village pub: old-world charm, lively energy, & a room filled with fellow skiers sharing stories & gearing up to conquer the slopes at sunrise. There's something special about that kind of ambiance - warm, spirited, & full of anticipation.
If you're visiting Mont-Tremblant & want a place that blends refined cuisine with authentic pub character, this is it. We'll absolutely be back.
Absolutely insane. Everything we had here was so so good. The pesto Kale pizza was top tier. Please add it to your day-to-day dinner menu, it's genius!!! Could not recommend more, I will be coming back:)

Julien has been one of the most impressionable Barista/Service Industry people I have come across. I visited the old cafe he worked at four times over holiday. He works HARD. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. I have no doubt this restaurant will thrive. This neighborhood is so lucky to have such a unique place like this.
Excellent restaurant, très belle ambiance chaleureuse. Les polpettes 👌🏼 La pizza aux champignons & saucisses 👌🏼 & les madeleines a la minute Wow ! La margharita est celle qui nous a le moins charmé mais elle reste bonne.
C'est la première fois que j'essayais ce restaurant & j'ai commandé, entre autres choses, un'chocolat chaud maison', tel qu'indiqué dans le menu. Ce que j'ai reçu ne devrait pas être qualifié de chocolat chaud. C'était une tasse de lait tiède avec du cacao en poudre sur le dessus, non sucré. J'ai bu une gorgée & j'ai mentionné au serveur que ce n'était vraiment pas bon. On m'a tout de même facturé le chocolat chaud. Je trouve cela vraiment aberrant.
Ambiance décontractée, mais très bruyante. On ne s'entend pas parler.

J'y suis allé quelques fois déjà.
Un des meilleurs cafés de Montréal. Super service, ambiance impeccable. Un nouvel endroit à découvrir très certainement dans le Mile End.
Lovely new place. the coffee was amazing & the food (breakfast sandwiches at least ) was great. Loved the croissant . overall great new spot. coming back forshu
Great place to come with one or more friends, for coffee, brunch, lunch, or casual dinner. Warm atmosphere, great service, friendly staff, & some of the n'est pizzas I've tasted outside of Italy! I was treated by a good friend :-)

Nous avons visité ce nouveau restaurant vendredi soir dernier, malgré un restaurant plein & beaucoup d'attente, l'accueil de l'hôtesse était chaleureux & apprécié, ça nous a encouragé à rester. Après environ 30 minutes d'attente, l'expérience s'est toutefois détériorée une fois installés. Belle carte des vins, mais attente très longue pour la nourriture (2 pizzas & 2 salades), en partie due à un gros groupe occupant une grande portion du restaurant. Menu plutôt ordinaire & impression d'un manque de soutien en cuisine, c'était plutôt chaotique. Pour un restaurant de quartier, l'expérience semble inégale, mieux vaut être chanceux ou s'armer de patience pour passer une belle soirée.
Les employées semblaient plus intéressées à boire un verre & prendre des shots avec leurs amis plutôt que de nous servir. C'est l'une des expériences montréalaises de restauration les plus gênantes que j'ai vécu. À un tel prix c'est inacceptable.. La cuisine était delicieuse par contre, tout comme les vins recommandés, mais tout s'est écroulé à la fin avec le service.
J'avais envie d'aller essayer des bonnes bouteilles de vin avec mes ami.e.s & notre première serveuse était formidable, mais lorsqu'elle est partie nous nous sommes fait ignorer par tout le staff! C'était vraiment gênant de voir comment le service était mauvais. On était hyper déçus parce que la soirée a bien commencé avec notre première serveuse. La nourriture était bonne & l'alcool était bon, mais le service était très lent & vraiment insultant.
Add to my favourites list!! Luckily, we arrived just in time to get a table since this restaurant doesn't take reservations. 10 minutes after arrival there was a line for those waiting to get a table.
Service was friendly, food was FANTASTIC & arrived on time. Very lucky to have this restaurant just a few minutes away from home! Will definitely be coming back!
My friend & I shared the maple syrup crepes & pizza. Delicious!
