Review Summary

Bar Edicola has quickly established itself as a vibrant, Italian-inspired destination in downtown Montreal, celebrated for its cozy, refined atmosphere and authentic European feel. Many visitors praise the establishment for its exceptional coffee, well-crafted cocktails, and high-quality small bites, such as the fried artichokes and fresh bruschetta. While most guests highlight the warm, attentive hospitality of the staff, some feedback notes occasional inconsistencies in service speed and pricing concerns regarding portion sizes. Despite the compact size of the space, which can lead to wait times, the majority of patrons find the experience worth the visit and appreciate the unique blend of a morning cafe and evening wine bar.

Le service est d'une lenteur impressionnante. On m'a désservi mon cocktail avant que je ne l'aie terminé.. Belle terrasse & ambiance agréable par contre. Bien dommage.

I stopped by Bar Edicola for lunch & found it to be a mixed experience. The space is small, with limited seating, so eating at the counter felt a bit cramped, & the noise level was higher than I would have liked. The food was perfectly suited to a casual lunch, but overall I found it fairly average rather than memorable. Worth a visit if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

The service is extremely slow & unorganized. I was looking fir ONE place while there were 6 empty seats at the BAR but for some reason they needed THREE waiters to check'if the seats are reserved' for FIFTEEN MINUTES while I waited. Not the first time I experienced something similar here.

Great food & drinks with a refreshing vibe that MTL desperately needed. The service was subpar as the waitress serving us was more interested in socializing with her friends & yelling than taking care of our order & asks that she completely ignored.

The drinks & service were exceptional. The space is a bit small so there is a wait but it's worth it. Hugs thank you to Dario. We can't wait to be back.

Loved the place - very cute atmosphere & overall a great vibe. The only downside was the service. We had one server at the beginning who was super nice & really fun, which made the experience great at first. Later in the evening, we had another server who came across as rude, sarcastic, & a bit dismissive, which unfortunately changed the mood of our night.
We also ordered some pretty common drinks, & although the wait was around 45 minutes to an hour - which can be understandable on a busy night - the response we got when we politely asked about them was disappointing. The server replied,'We're quite busy today,' considering we had already been waiting for quite a while.
Aside from that experience, the place itself was lovely.
