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.

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.

I invited a friend here for her birthday & our first visit will not be our last. We were thoroughly impressed by their exceptional attention to detail & warm hospitality. When it came to ensuring even service im a small but packed room, Laura was perfection. Please try this spot when in downtown Montreal. Grazie per tutto, Andreas 🙏
