Dans l’ensemble, les avis décrivent Cafe Gentile comme un lieu à l’ambiance chaleureuse, avec un service attentif et amical, et une cuisine italienne de haute qualité du brunch au dîner.

Les emplacements West Island et DDO sont cités comme des ajouts positifs, offrant le même niveau de soin, un design moderne mais chaleureux, et un service fiable, de nombreux commentaires souhaitant essayer plus de plats et revenir pour le dîner ou le brunch du week-end.
What kind of restaurant runs out of food at 1pm? I wanted to go for lunch & as I arrived, I was told there's no food only coffee & desserts. I left shocked.
Also, there's no dinner service, yet they are booked in evenings...
They told me it's only for family & friends. Very disappointed. They should focus on their customers, especially since they just opened.
We came here for an afternoon coffee, had the pistachio cookie which was delicious. Great atmosphere & service, happy to have a new restaurant/cafe in the West Island.

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!
Amazing spot in the West Island! Good testing food made with care, great coffee & nice staff. What better can you ask for. Will definitely be coming with friends & family.
Stopped by for a quick coffee at the bar. Nice to see a restaurant in the West Island with constant line up. My cappuccino was excellent. I will have to come back for lunch
Just left gentile West Island , it was 12 on 10!! The staff, the decor, the food, the coffee & of course, the incredible chocolate chip cookie for my daughter, all flawless. A true West Island gem, we are lucky to have them in the neighborhood.
Went to Gentile West Island this past weekend to take out coffees for my family. Everything was great! Excited for this new option in the west. Looking forward to going back for dinner on the restaurant side in the future!

This restaurant is what the West Island has been missing! Somewhere that we can go for a coffee/ breakfast/lunch/ or dinner- for the whole family, group of friends or a nice date night. The staff is friendly & amazing, the atmosphere is vibrant & beautiful. The food, as we have come to expect from Gentile's is always delicious! Looking forward to so many more visits.
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 .
