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!

Quelle belle découverte! L'ambiance chez Edicola est à la fois décontractée & raffinée, avec une superbe sélection de cocktails.

Jérôme nous a servis, c'était exceptionnel! Un vrai serveur en or avec beaucoup de flair. Ses conseils & son sens de l'humour ont rendu notre expérience encore plus agréable.

Bref, une adresse où l'on se sent pris en charge du début à la fin. J'y retournerai sans hésiter & je la recommande vivement.

Bar Edicola is a brand new spot where Andrea & his partners, also owners of Bar Caffetiera, have done an outstanding job. It's the perfect Italian experience: the meat was delicious (a cooking style meant to be eaten cold & surprisingly tasty), the pasta was insane, & the cold cut plate was truly A1.

We came here right after getting engaged & would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique Italian experience. The staff is absolutely amazing, the food is excellent, & the ambiance is simply impeccable. Perfect for those 5-7 vibes when you just want great food, a good atmosphere, & a touch of Italy.

Definitely Overpriced! The eggplant was delicious but I think it's cause I like eggplants by default lolol 🤷?♀? the drinks were mid. Thing that bothered me the most - their water glasses smelled like a dirty rag (IYKYK) The atmosphere was sweet. Overall, would not recommend though.

I was transported back to my summer trip in Italy. We tried the Negroni, Aperol & White Spritz & Gin Balon, & they were all perfect. It's a fun a vibrant place. The staff is passionate & friendly. I could spend my whole day here from the Caffe to Aperitivo to Dinner & Wine bar 😁. Highly recommend.
