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.

En bref, Edicola est un nouvel incontournable du centre ville !
Absolutely Lovely. A classic Italian coffee, wine & snack bar in the heart of Montreal. Perfect ambiance & vibe. We had an amazing tuna plate & great service from Lucas.

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!
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.

What a treat, had a great aperitivo with a friend enjoying probably one the best lightly battered artichokes with a porcini aioli & chiffonade mint. The Pecorino cheese with a drizzle of honey to accompany, a simple but delicious red pepper marmalade to have with a classic Caciocavallo on sourdough.
Service & staff are professional, friendly & welcoming. Looking forward to coming back.
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.

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!

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.
