Bistro La Cité offers a warm, family-run breakfast and brunch experience with friendly service and a menu that ranges from croissants and pastries to breakfast sandwiches, waffles and French toast at very reasonable prices. Located in an underground mall, the atmosphere leans toward casual and neighborhood vibes, with a steady stream of regulars and a bilingual staff that makes every visit feel welcoming and easy to enjoy in a cozy setting. Across many reviews, the highlights include tasty, filling dishes, great coffee, well-presented takeout, and the sense of a hidden gem that diners would highly recommend.
Went this morning for breakfast with my hubby & kids. Family owned business with excellent, super-friendly service, & delicious food! We had a few different types of breakfast sandwiches as well as a waffle. Everything was really tasty & the prices were extremely reasonable. The atmosphere isn't ideal, simply because it's located in an underground mall, but it really has a neighbourhood feel to it, & all the customers that we saw coming in & out seemed to be regulars. We really loved it & would highly recommend.
The atmosphere is great. The staff are always friendly & cheerful. It's conveniently part of the Galeries du Parc complex. That's why a lot of people know each other through this place. Easy to get to know people!
Plenty of food & coffee options. Just ask if you don't see something. Their pastries are always on full display. Croissants & biscuits are the best.
The best cafe in Mtl!
Love the pastries & breakfast sandwiches, & dirty chai is always perfect. I order on uber often & it's always warm & fresh, well packaged & with cute messages.
Je suis entré par hasard & c'est devenu mon endroit préféré pour un expresso & des chocolatines au Parc. Excellent service, avec un personnel accueillant & chaleureux. Merci !

Just passed by while on my shift & wow this place is such a rare gem. Amazingly beautiful mom & kids working hard, the food was absolutely to die for & so was the ice coffee. 100% recommend this bistro to anyone & everyone
I had a lovely experience at Bistro de la Cité on Avenue du Parc. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, & the service was very good. I had the pleasure of sitting inside, where I could enjoy my meal in a quiet, clean environment. The staff was completely bilingual, which made it even more comfortable. It's a perfect spot for a relaxing breakfast, & I would definitely recommend it.
