Venant assez régulièrement à Montréal, je tiens toujours à découvrir de nouveaux cafés & j'avais entendu beaucoup de bien de celui-ci. Le décor est envoûtant & chaleureux, surtout par un dimanche pluvieux d'avril. La nourriture était délicieuse & le service impeccable. Je le recommande sans hésiter.

Horrible expérience à ce café. Déjà en rentrant, le gérant ou le manager nous fixe bizarrement pour aucune raison. Nous nous sentions pas bienvenus, c'est très grave de se comporter de la sorte avec des clients... à en voir les commentaires nous comprenons mieux pourquoi. Plusieurs clients racisés ont la même expérience...
Le manager ou le propriétaire se comporte mal avec les clients racisés ou portant des signes religieux. Plusieurs personnes ont la même expérience & c'est inadmissible! Leur ancienne page'Café Constance' comporte plusieurs témoignages ... passez votre chemin.
Great & cozy café with a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately makes you feel comfortable. The pistachio tarte is truly outstanding, rich, flavorful, & perfectly balanced in sweetness with a deliciously fresh taste. It's located right in front of the metro, which makes it incredibly convenient, yet it still feels like a hidden gem. A perfect spot to relax & enjoy a high-quality dessert in a welcoming setting.
My friend was at the café & had already ordered food. I went to sit with her, but I am currently fasting for Ramadan, so I am not eating or drinking anything. I was simply keeping her company.
Shortly after I sat down, the manager approached me & asked if I would like to order. I politely explained that I am fasting & therefore would not be ordering anything, but that my friend had already placed an order & I was just sitting with her. He responded rudely, saying that I still needed to order something or I could not remain seated in the café. About 20 minutes later, he approached me again, & I calmly repeated the same explanation. He then returned once more, speaking in a very disrespectful & horrible tone, & told me that if I was not ordering anything, I needed to leave & could sit'outside' instead.
I have never experienced this level of disrespect in a café before. The way I was treated felt humiliating & discriminatory. I am extremely disappointed & disturbed by this behavior & i've heard this manager is known for racial microagressions

I came here with a friend today & unfortunately had one of the worst café experiences I've had in Montreal. I ordered a tea, & my friend was fasting for Ramadan, so we explained that she wouldn't be ordering food or drink until 5pm when her fast broke.
The manager was immediately dismissive & rude. Even though I told him I planned to order more, he insisted on a'20-minute ordering rule' & asked us to leave instead of taking my second order. The café was nearly empty at the time.
The interaction felt unnecessarily hostile &, given the context, personally & culturally disrespectful. It was disappointing & uncomfortable
The food is good but nothing worth the prices & the service is awful they HARRASSED us from the moment we stepped into the cafe to the moment we left asking us to order & sit at specific places that were not ideal for studying & leaving MULTIPLE tables empty & cramming students together for potential clients that literally never came we were placed at the random benches outside of the main coffee space that were backless chairs facing a wall. Could've just stayed at my school library if I wanted to depress & pay for overpriced mid food. At least the chairs there would've been cushier. Finally, waiters are French I think you know how rude those come.
La nourriture de déjeuner brunch est bonne, le service très chaleureux & attentif & c'est parfait pour aller manger, prendre un café ou étudier (laptop friendly)!
Très belle adresse côté assiette. Les plats sont soignés, savoureux & bien exécutés : avocado toast parfaitement maîtrisé, pâtisseries fines, café de qualité & jus frais bien équilibrés. On sent une vraie exigence sur les produits & la présentation.
En revanche, l'expérience est nettement ternie par le service : accueil froid, serveurs peu agréables, & remarque insistante sur ce que nous comptions consommer sous prétexte que les tables sont réservées pour le brunch. Cela crée un malaise inutile & casse l'atmosphère.
Une cuisine de qualité qui mérite un accueil à la hauteur.

A pistachio tartelette that knows exactly what it's doing.
Buttery crust, creamy pistachio filling, crushed nuts for texture, & that glossy green center like a quiet promise. Not loud, not flashy. Just rich, elegant, & dangerously easy to fall in love with. #CafeConstancesigneBAZIN #Montreal
Honnêtement c'est très petit. Les phots font paraître sa légèrement plus grand mais c'est le genre de place ou tu peux goûter directement dans l'assiette de ton voisin & en apprendre plus sur la thèse qu'il rédigé à 5 cm de toi.
Plus un workplace que une place ou boire un verre ou pour une date.
Nous étions de soir, à l'origine pour manger, mais on a vite changer d'avis, la place ne donné pas envie de manger sur place entre deux PC & note de cours des autres usagé. Sûrement bon, mais c'est pas se que j'attend d'un restaurant/café sur l'heure du souper.
Bref place sympa certainement mais vraiment pas un café restaurant, plus un café qui vend de la bouffe.
Unfortunately, today my friend & I had a very unpleasant experience (12/03).
I was waiting for my friend & I had ordered food & a drink, which I had almost finished by the time she came by. When she sat down, a waiter approached us quickly & told us:'if you don't order something, you need to leave, this is how cafés work'. I was surprised by this & tried to explain that I had ordered something but the waiter insisted since I had finished my food, both of us needed to order something or leave (I still had not finished my drink). My friend & I felt very insulted by his actions & demeaning tone, because we saw other people around us with their laptops & no food/drinks. A lot of the people were there since my arrival, but we were the only ones who were asked to leave.
Out of shame, I felt pressured to buy another drink but left quickly after that.
I feel very sad to write this review, because the café is quite nice & I enjoyed the food, but this kind of service is not acceptable. I hope this does not happen to anyone else, & we will not be coming back.
Si vous êtes à la place des Arts, je vous conseille ce café qui est aussi un restaurant pour votre brunch. J'ai goûté au burger aux oeufs & c'était excellent. Je vous conseille d'enlever la mayonnaise épicée par des avocats, cela en fait un repas complet & nourrissant. Ce restaurant offre un menu aux saveurs françaises comme un vol au vent ou du boeuf bourguignon. Je vous conseille de faire une réservation car de nombreux étudiants mobilisent le lieu. Si vous n'aimez pas le poivre, mentionnez-le car le chef poivre bien.

Absolutely make a point of coming here if you're close by. Me & my friend were just looking for cafes nearby & cafe constance came up. Did not at all expect to walk into the cutest & most aesthetically pleasing cafe I've ever seen. Did not expect to be completely charmed by our lovely server Aoife. Did not expect our food, dessert & drinks to be so delicious & so reasonably priced. Truly such a lovely environment with excellent staff. Will absolutely be coming back!
Café resto à l'ambiance raffinée, cuisine délicieuse, produits frais fais maison, café de qualité & proprios tellement sympas! Ça vaut le détour! Merci à toute l'équipe pour votre accueille chaleureux & vos mets délicieux❤?
Nous avons mangé à deux reprises dans ce café - restaurant & nous y retournerons encore. Difficile de trouver par hasard une adresse de qualité à Montréal, mais ici, vous serez servis.
Les gnocchis & le boeuf bourguignon était excellents. Autant dans la réalisation de la recette que dans le choix des ingrédients. Idem pour les pâtisseries. Le dôme chocolat & la tarte pistache étaient un délice.
Le tout pour un prix plus qu'abordable, dans une ambiance calme & cosy, avec un service de qualité & attentionné.
Je recommande !
Un magnifique Café-resto à Place des spectacles. Le décor...la musique...le service...la bouffe plus qu' impeccable ! Ils ont repris un resto existant & le chef français de renom (a aussi un resto à Westmount) y donné ses lettres de noblesse. & très très abordable en terme de prix ! Métro Place des Arts . Un incontournable
