The Boquerones & Stracciatella at Au Coin in Montreal's Mile End is an absolute masterpiece of a pizza. Served in a cozy, wood-heavy space that shifts from a daytime café to a bustling natural wine bar at night, this dish perfectly balances bold coastal punches with creamy luxury. It all sits on a 100% sourdough crust featuring an airy interior & a distinct, tangy char from the open kitchen's high-heat Italian oven. A generous layer of cold, velvety bufflonne stracciatella acts as a rich canvas for silver-skinned Spanish boquerones, which deliver a clean, vinegar-kissed brine. Dark Taggiasca olives & crispy, golden fried capers burst with texture, while sweet cherry tomatoes & a bright green sorrel pesto sourced fromParcellesprovide a lemony, sour snap that beautifully cuts through the fat. Finished with aromatic oregano, the play between the hot crust, cold cheese, & tender marinated fish makes this a destination-worthy 8.2/10 pie.
It pairs spectacularly with a glass of orange natural wine from their rotating list, though you will want to arrive early to grab a seat on their communal benches since they operate entirely on a no-reservations policy. We also got the tartare, radicchio salad, steak & batavas bravas, all hits as well!
The caesar salad was insanely good, the pizza as well! Nice cozy little spot with good food & coffee but the service was so bad. We were clearly being rushed because of their long lineup & they looked annoyed when we ordered more.
Our experience at Au Coin was fantastic. Aside for the 30 min wait to be seated ( it was a Saturday night) , everything was excellent. The waiter was very attentive, the cocktails were delicious, they were generous with the alcohol,& the food was superb! I would highly recommend the Ceasar salad. It is dressed perfectly & is very flavourful. The pizzas are delicious, the dough is light. I would definitely return to Au Coin.
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.
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.
Au Coin was a great find! The service was friendly & attentive, the menu had lots of appealing options, & the restaurant itself was beautifully decorated. I also loved that they have outdoor seating, which made for a really enjoyable dining experience.
The food was excellent overall. The pizza was made fresh to order, & my favorite dish was definitely the beef tartare, it was absolutely delicious. The only small suggestion I have is that the Caesar salad could use a bit more dressing, but everything else was spot on.
Overall, I'd definitely come back. There are so many other items on the menu that I'd love to try.
We went on a Friday at noon, & while it was quite busy, we were still seated quickly. Service was friendly & efficient despite the rush. The aesthetic - vintage, rustic, farmhouse-inspired decor & open kitchen - was also really pleasing & created a cozy vibe. We ordered the Coin Caesar Salad, Four Seasons Pepperoni Pizza, & a Madeleine. If you're a fan of Neapolitan-style pizza (airy crust & soupy center), this place is for you. The caramel sauce drizzled over the Madeleine was sublime. A great experience overall.
Was walking around & decided to stop for dinner & it was such an unremarkable experience. The owner clearly prioritized the decor/ambiance & ended up forgetting about the food. Was lucky to be served by a friendly server that alongside the decor were the only positives of my experience. The menu was really uninspiring. I got the radicchio salad that was good, but the fritti courge was awful, they def fried in cold oil because it was soggy & waaaaay too oily, & the portion size was also laughable. The pizza was disappointing as well, the dough was not cooked all the way through & it lacked both salt & flavor, I tried to add the chilli oil to see if it would help but guess what? It literally had zero flavor lol. They also need to figure it out the toilet paper situation, there was a bunch of half used rolls on top of a table next to the toilet & it was nasty. Anyways, I guess it's a cool spot to take pics, but I wouldn't recommend to anyone that is looking to have good food.
