Review Summary

Bar Edicola is widely celebrated as a vibrant, Italian-inspired destination in downtown Montreal that successfully captures the authentic atmosphere of a European cafe, wine bar, and aperitivo spot. Guests frequently praise the high quality of the coffee, expertly crafted cocktails, and delicious small plates like fried artichokes and fresh pasta, often noting that the welcoming service and upbeat music contribute to a joyful, cozy experience. While the venue is noted for being small and occasionally busy, leading to some variability in wait times and service consistency, most visitors find the unique charm, attention to detail, and professional staff to be well worth a visit. It serves as a popular, versatile hub where patrons can transition seamlessly from a morning cappuccino to an evening glass of wine in a refined yet lively setting.

Good coffee, good bakery, good products...
The sandwich wasn't bad, but it was really small & with a sweet sauce that doesn't match 100%, but the place & people working there makes the experience acceptable!

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!

Bar Edicola is such a gem! My girlfriend & I stopped by for a morning coffee, & it was hands-down one of the best I've had in the city. The vibe is so joyful & welcoming that you immediately feel at home. We came back for a 5@7 & ended up staying way longer than planned, it's the kind of place where you completely lose track of time. The Italian-inspired dishes were delicious, & the hospitality was warm, playful, & genuine. Every second there was a pleasure! can't wait to go back!
