The stunning architecture makes Cafe Gentile a fun place to go for brunch, lunch or coffee. However, both coffees that I ordered ( Latte & Cappucino) arrived luke-warm. The food was ok, the service attentive but clearly trying to clear the table fast (Sunday morning). I have had better coffee, but the atmosphere would motivate me to come back.

Went there to try a new cafe for takeout coffee.
Warm receiption, Amazing presentation & great ambience but unfortunately the mocha I tried wasn't up to the expectations
Too bitter & lacked chocolate punch

Gentile is exactly what the West Island was missing! The atmosphere & the food is amazing & the staff make you feel at home. I've been a handful of times since the opening & no matter the time of day both the café & restaurant are lively & busy - a great sign that so many others are enjoying this MTL establishment as much as I am. My new go-to spot in the west

Café Gentile in the West Island is a great spot. I had an excellent coffee, rich & well balanced. They also offer breakfast options, which is a nice bonus. A solid place to stop for a good coffee & a quick bite.

Super belle déco, les pizzas sont très bonnes. Point négatif, le bruit c est limite si on entend la personne en face de vous. Le café est super aussi. Légèrement cher quand même

I stopped by this café/restaurant today & had a great experience. I ordered a coffee, & it turned out to be excellent-rich, smooth, & clearly made with care. The whole atmosphere had a warm, positive energy that made it easy to relax & enjoy the moment.
The service was equally impressive. The waiter greeted me with a friendly smile, was polite throughout, & checked in at just the right times. Everything was served in a timely manner without feeling rushed.
Overall, it was a great visit, & I'm already planning to return soon, especially to try their lunch menu. Highly recommended!

I had a great experience at Café Gentile in DDO! The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, & the staff were super friendly & attentive. The food was fresh, flavourful, & beautifully presented. It's definitely a spot I'll be coming back to - highly recommend!

Met my friend at Cafe Gentile West Island for a quick lunch. I came with an open mind due to the restaurant only being open 1 week. Both my friend & I were so impressed with the service & food!! Haven't stopped thinking about the mushroom pizza !!! Cannot wait to go back!!!

Cafe Gentile West Island - Huge Disappointment

I went to Cafe Gentile West Island with a group of seven friends, & the experience was honestly shocking. We were assigned a female waitress, & from the start, the service felt rushed. Once the food arrived, it looked nothing like the descriptions on the menu - plain, not fresh, & overall very disappointing.

Not even 45 minutes into our meal, while we were still eating, the waitress dropped the bill on the table & asked us to pay. A few minutes later she returned & told us we had five minutes to leave because they needed the table. When we asked why - & reminded her that we were still eating - she bluntly responded that they were'here to make money' & needed the table for other customers. She even told us that if we weren't happy, we should go elsewhere.

We asked to speak to a manager, & she flat-out refused.

Awful food, extremely rude staff, & zero sense of respect or customer service. Definitely not going back, & we'll be letting other locals know about this experience. What a shame for a place with so much potential.

Historically cafe is a place to sit comfortably & interact with friends & exchange ideas; many artists & intellectuals made the cafe the best place for that reason, but my experience was very disappointing, the food on the dish was not appealing at all , even before fishing our food we were asked to pay the bill in less than an hour they asked us to leave! I have been in many cafes in Montreal, city famous for cafe tradition ; but never had this experience which I had in Gentile West Island 😞

My friends & I had a very disappointing experience at Café Gentile West Island. From the moment we sat down, the staff made us feel rushed. They brought the bill before we even finished our meal, & after we paid, they asked us to leave even though we had only been there for about an hour & a half. We couldn't relax or enjoy our time.
The sandwiches were also nothing special-very simple & not worth the price.
When we tried to speak with the manager, she was rude. It felt like they cared more about making money than treating customers with respect. Overall, it was an unpleasant visit, & I definitely wouldn't recommend this café. For our next gathering, we are planning to go somewhere more pleasant.

I visited this resturant / coffee shop & had one of the worst dining experiences I can remember in the past 45 years in Montreal.
From the start, we were rushed to order immediately. After barely taking my second bite, we were told to pay. Even while still drinking our coffee, the manager came over & said we had to leave because their lunch service was starting. Wr were there for brunch at 10 am.

The setup is confusing - the sign says coffee shop on the right, restaurant on the left, but they mix everything & clearly don't know how to manage it.
The female manager was extremely rude, telling us to'go.' When I complained to the male manager, his response was dismissive:'Go write bad reviews, we have 200 good ones.'

This attitude was shockingly unprofessional , arrogant & impolite. We were treated with no respect, rushed out, & made to feel unwelcome. I do not recommend this place at all. I recommend pigeon cafe at list they are so polite & nice .
