Fabulous quality! Really friendly service. Great baked goods. From the street you go into the mall & down the stairs. A little hard to find looking at Google Maps, but easy enough once you enter the mall.
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.
I am from out of town & was looking for a place to order breakfast from. Ordering from this place was an amazing choice, the food is filling & great. & the smoothies are amazing. They even included a sweet pastry in our order. 10/10
