Café Gentile Westmount is honestly in a league of its own, from the incredible food to the authentic Italian flavors, every dish feels like it belongs in one of Italy's best restaurants.

I've been to plenty of fancy restaurants in Montreal, & this place easily beats all of them. great quality, freshness & attention to detail.

It's not just some of the best Italian food in Montreal-it's up to par with the best Italian food I've had in Italy.

must-try

Latté glacé au lait d'avoine avec sirop de vanille, 11$ avec le pourboire qui commence à 18% & qui goute seulement l'aspartame & l'eau, avez-vous oublié de mettre le café dedans? Je ne comprends pas, très déçu.

Cafe Gentile was recommended to me & my fiancé to provide catering for our recent wedding, & we could not have been happier with the result. The food was absolutely incredible, & the service & attention that the catering team provided to us were exceptional. Every single person at our wedding commented on how delicious the food was. The eggplant parm has quickly become one of my personal favourites. We will absolutely be returning to Gentile (most likely the DDO location) whenever we find ourselves back in Montreal.

Yesterday was my first visit to Café Gentile on the West Island &-no surprise-it was superb. The staff was warm, attentive, upbeat, & completely on their game. The food was everything I've come to expect from Gentile: incredibly fresh, full of flavour, & consistently delicious. From their meat dishes to the pastas, salads, breakfasts, & that perfect coffee… every bite feels intentional.
So grateful this Montreal gem now shines in more than one location.

Cafe gentile westmount….oh my goodness. We had our 18 person wedding dinner here. The custom wedding menu was so incredible, the food was 12/10 & the service was nothing short of exceptional.
More & more food just coming out & each course was so tasty, had beautiful presentation & more mouth-watering than the last course. Our guests were raving about this being the best wedding meal they've ever had.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I went to Café Gentile (for the first time) for brunch & had the Grand Slam. Based on pictures of other reviews, I now know that the components of my plate were definitely underdone. Everything was edible, but lukewarm, & very dry. The waitress asked if everything was to our liking, but she was unable to tell me if the plate was as it should be, or if the sausages were meant to be dry... Maybe it was an off day in the kitchen, but at this price point, I expect better quality control. Though I left disappointed, the restaurant decor was nice & I could see it being a cute date spot. I might give it another try for lunch or dinner in the future.

Tucked into Westmount like a cherished heirloom, Cafe Gentile served up a Mother's Day brunch that felt more like a warm hug from someone who smells faintly of espresso & nostalgia.

From the moment we walked in, the ambiance charmed us-banquettes like Nonna's living room sofas, tables dressed in soft green marble, & the comforting chaos of a bustling café filled with families, laughter, & that beautiful din of clinking plates & happy forks. It didn't feel like a restaurant; it felt like home, if your home had professional chefs & an endless supply of pistachios.

My husband's meal was a journey in texture & decadence:

A beet salad that was earthy & fresh,

Followed by indulgent French toast paired with bacon, a rich veal sausage crowned with a sunny-side egg,

& a final act of showy genius-a brioche stuffed with pistachio gelato & finished with pistachio crumb. I briefly considered tackling him for a bite.

I started with delicate smoked salmon avocado crostini, perfectly balanced & bright. Then came the Lobster Benedetto-a lavish, buttery twist on the classic Benedict. I closed with a thick, fluffy pancake, floating in a sweet, lightly creamy sauce that I may or may not have considered licking off the plate. (It was Mother's Day. I get a pass.)

Service was friendly & well-timed-no hovering, no disappearing acts. Just the kind of smooth professionalism that lets you actually enjoy the food & the moment.

Cafe Gentile doesn't just feed you-it envelops you in Italian comfort, sprinkles pistachios on your emotions, & sends you home blissfully full. Five stars, & one extra perfectly drawn espresso in my heart.
