Overall, the space is repeatedly described as charming and photogenic, making it a popular choice for both work and social meetups, though some find it small or occasionally noisy.
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.
Love this place! The gnocchi I had was just perfect 👌. Great coffee, beautiful interior & kind staffs! Definitely coming back & it's a place where I'd love to bring a guest visiting in MTL. 10/10
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.
Heureux de notre choix pour un souper en toute simplicité dans un décor original. J'ai adoré le vol-au-vent avec sauce au poulet & mon conjoint le boeuf bourguignon. Notre service Sarah, très sympa & efficace. Merci!
The food was quite good, but not filling enough for the price we paid… The iced latte was great, but the chai latte lacked some flavour.
The decoration is lovely, I really liked the paper lamps & plants! However, it seems like they share a space with other some kind of studio, making it loud. We heard very loud noise & applause throughout our brunch.
The low point would have to be service, unfortunately. While our initial server was very polite, everyone was VERY slow. It took us forever to get a waiter to come get our order, despite the place not being that full. The food arrived with zero coordination, with a significant amount of time between the arrival of my dish & my friend's.
Cute, cozy, very fancy looking but not ideal for studying in my opinion because the light inside is too dim & the place is smaller than it looks like in pictures online
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❤?
oh wow! the two stars of this show are definitely the staff (incredible people) & the ambience. the mid-century furniture & decor are captivating & romantic! the coffee is fantastic, as well. i had to order the flat white twice because it was addictive! the food, honestly, is just okay! i ordered the grilled cheese sandwich & it didn't quite hit the spot BUT my date ordered the pistachio tartlet & it was delightful!
side note: they allow laptops! which is always a plus in my book! def recommend!
