Nice atmosphere, but my girlfriend & her friend both got food poisoning after eating here. Wouldn't risk it unfortunately.

Personnel tres sympa, bons choix de vins, meme si trop peu disponible au verre.
Par contre c'est 1 seule facture possible (contraignant), & ils imposent 18% de tips minimum, après taxes & sans choix manuels possible. Là c'est très grave & triplement illégale.
C'est avant taxes, 15% autorisable, & changement manuels autorisés.
Cette fin de soirée entièrement gâchée par leurs méthodes malhonnêtes.

I loved this place! It's small, but has great atmosphere with an excellent staff that makes you feel right at home. The food was truly delicious & the Aperol Spritz was honestly the best one I have ever had. Make sure you stop by as you won't be disappointed.

They were so nice to accommodate my friend & I even when we did not have a reservation. Food was really good!! Will definitely go back when I'm back in Montreal.

I stopped by Bar Edicola around noon on a Sunday before heading to the museum with a friend, & it was such a nice little start to our relaxing afternoon.

The space has such a cute vibe, with little details that make it fun to look around. Even the bathroom walls are covered in magazine covers. You can sit at the counter & watch the meats being sliced & food being prepared, or grab a spot outside on their terrace if the weather is nice.

Bria was behind the counter & Gabriel served us, & they were both so sweet & welcoming. I kept my order simple with a 1 oz macchiato for $4 & a chocolate croissant, which was delicious.

I'd definitely come back. I loved it as a nice Sunday coffee stop, but now I'm curious to return later in the day to try some of the food & experience the aperitivo side of Bar Edicola.
