Bistro La Cité is described as a family run spot with warm, friendly service and a neighbourhood feel, offering a broad breakfast and pastry lineup at very reasonable prices. Despite being tucked in an underground mall, the atmosphere is repeatedly called cozy and welcoming, with plenty of regulars and a sense of community around Galeries du Parc. Menus feature breakfast sandwiches, waffles, croissants, biscuits, pastries, French toast, paninis, and a variety of coffee drinks including dirty chai, and orders picked up via Uber often arrive warm, well packaged, and with cute notes. The food is generally praised as tasty and filling, with standout treats like raspberry cheesecake and strong pastries, though a few items such as a croissant egg can be thinner than expected. Service is frequently described as attentive and cheerful, with staff described as friendly and bilingual, contributing to a memorable, hidden gem experience rather than a typical cafe stop. Overall, Bistro La Cité is seen as a reliable, welcoming choice for breakfast or brunch that locals seem to love and return to.

5.0

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 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.

So lucky to have stumbled across this family-owned eatery. The owners are so welcoming & know their customers by name, & meals are prepared quickly. The food was wonderful-they make all their pastries in house & the croissants are so so good. The morning bagel sandwich & the omelette are awesome too!

C'était notre première commande, agréablement surprise, un petit cadeau dans notre commande. Très agréable que les gestionnaires pensent à leurs clients. On à pris un sandwich poulet, bacon chipotle, un BLT & deux croissants. Le sandwich chipotle etait excellent, le BLT pourrait avoir une sauce en plus, les croissants étaient super aussi. On va très certainement recommander !

I ordered two eggs & a sandwich. The delivery took so long the lettuce & salad was cooked to mush. They sent the wrong type of eggs, the wrong type of bread, & the bread & pastries were so soaked with condensation they were mush. I had to ask for a refund. I had even tipped the restaurant & given a $7.50 tip to the driver. I am very disappointed with the service. They even sent a free croissant as a thank you for the tip, but that was soggy mush too... :( I'll use the refund to order from somewhere else...
