Review Summary

Bar Edicola comes across in these reviews as a stylish, warm Italian-inspired spot in downtown Montreal that feels both relaxed and refined. The vibe is lively with uplifting music, a cozy and convivial atmosphere, and attentive service that balances efficiency with space to chat. The drinks program earns praise, from well mixed cocktails to solid coffee service in the morning, and pastries like pistachio croissants. Small plates and dishes such as artichokes, olives, tuna with pistachio, pesto pasta and other simple, fresh offerings are consistently described as tasty and well prepared. The overall experience is described as authentic and welcoming, with guests noting a touch of Italy in the service and ambiance. The space can feel compact and busy at peak times, making it ideal for a casual bite, a coffee, or an aperitivo with friends, rather than large gatherings. While some reviews mention occasional price concerns or room layout, most agree Bar Edicola delivers a memorable, high quality Italian moment in the city, making it a go-to for coffee, cocktails, and bites.

We stopped by for a quick cocktail one evening & learned that they also habe morning coffee bar service, so we went back in the morning for a cafè & cornetto.

Cocktails were very good, perfectly mixed at a good price. We had cappuccinos with 3 corenttos in the morning (apricot, Nutella & butter); coffee was made perfectly & corentto were fresh from the oven.

Seating area is small, but even when it was busy you can have a conversation. I would not recommend going with more than 3 or 4 people though, given the shape of the space (a rather narrow rectangle).

The service is very friendly & just attentive enough; I didn't feel hurried but felt we were given time & space to relax & chat.

This has been commented on before, but it certainly has an Italian bar vibe like you get in Roma or Napoli. Would highly recommend this bar!

Impeccable! Stumbled upon this place while headed to ANOTHER cafe but was drawn in here! Excellent service, barista was a gentleman & offered me a substitute drink (Nutellachino). Had a pistachio croissant & loved it.

Merveilleuse découverte inopinée pour notre fin de semaine de manifestation. Accueil souriant & accueillant. Sandwich merveilleusement délicieux & que dire du café. Un beau câlin & bisou à l'équipe.

Stumbled across this place by accident & was drawn in by the mural on the building. It's not like anything we've experienced before. Upscale cafe? Intimate place with great quality food & drinks. The service is where this place really shines. You can feel that the entire team is there to deliver the best experience & it shows from start to finish. Thanks for a great afternoon!

Situé au coeur du centre-ville de Montréal, Bar Edicola est un établissement qui incarne l'élégance & la convivialité à l'italienne. Issu de l'équipe derrière des lieux renommés tels que Bar Caffettiera, Groupe Provisions & Cloakroom, ce bar-café a su réinventer l'esprit des anciennes échoppes de journaux italiennes, offrant ainsi une expérience unique aux Montréalais & visiteurs. La place est tout simplement adorable & le service excellent. Ma nouvelle place coup de coeur pour un café le matin ou pour le 5@7 !!

Un Campari noyé dans les glaçons & l'eau a peine gazeuse…
Les prix des paninis assez délirants… 30$??? Nous nous sommes évidemment abstenus de manger!
Service correct sans plus, même pas une petite poignée de chips avec l'apéro…
On est bien loin de l'Italie!
Ce qui est curieux, c'est que le café sur la rue Stanley est à l'opposé de tout cela…
Bref, on ne m'y reverra plus sauf s'il y a des changements!
