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.

I loved this place! It's small, but has great atmosphere with an excellent staff that makes you feel right at home. The food was truly delicious & the Aperol Spritz was honestly the best one I have ever had. Make sure you stop by as you won't be disappointed.

I stopped by Bar Edicola around noon on a Sunday before heading to the museum with a friend, & it was such a nice little start to our relaxing afternoon.

The space has such a cute vibe, with little details that make it fun to look around. Even the bathroom walls are covered in magazine covers. You can sit at the counter & watch the meats being sliced & food being prepared, or grab a spot outside on their terrace if the weather is nice.

Bria was behind the counter & Gabriel served us, & they were both so sweet & welcoming. I kept my order simple with a 1 oz macchiato for $4 & a chocolate croissant, which was delicious.

I'd definitely come back. I loved it as a nice Sunday coffee stop, but now I'm curious to return later in the day to try some of the food & experience the aperitivo side of Bar Edicola.

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!

It seems you get much better treatment when you come with a date!
I had a great time during my first visit when accompanied by my date. Dario was great in accommodating us to find a perfect spot at the bar.
However, when visiting with a friend we we offered a less interesting spot by another hostess & the service was really not the same .... we had to wait for the drinks (even reminding the staff of our drinks) for a draft beer & not a cocktail.
If you back , ask for Dario he is a true gentleman.
