Review Summary

Cafe Gentile offers a cozy cafe with a warm atmosphere, fresh and delicious food, and exceptional service. Great coffee and a wide selection of sandwiches define the experience. The old school Italian neighborhood vibe feels nostalgic, with fresh baked goods and dairy free milk options. Service is fast and friendly, with a welcoming family run energy. The menu features Italian inspired items and crowd favorites, including a Nutella dessert and a spicy Philly steak wrap as well as other satisfying sandwiches. It is regarded as a Montreal staple and a popular lunch spot, often busy but still comfortable. The cafe is praised for quality ingredients, a homey atmosphere, and the energy that makes it a favorite for locals and visitors alike. Seasonal closure from July to August is noted.

I had an amazing 10/10 experience at Café Gentile! The place is incredibly cozy, & the service was top-notch, the waiter gave me some fantastic suggestions that really blew me away. Everything I tried was delicious, from the STK wrap & Linguini to the must-try Zeppoli. I finished it all off with a perfect cappuccino. If you're looking for a delicious meal in a great setting, I highly encourage everyone to try the food here, it's amazing!

Une institution à Montréal pour les meilleurs cafés italiens, les viennoiseries sont aussi délicieuses & la terrasse est ensoleillée, de quoi bien commencer la journée, comme en Italie !

I love coming to this café - the atmosphere is warm, the service is always kind, & there's something special about the energy here.
The staff is respectful & welcoming, & you can tell it's a family-run place with heart.
It's become one of my favorite little stops lately - not just for the coffee. 😊

I stopped in for a sandwich to go. The fried chicken cutlet was moist. The toppings were good especially the spicy sauce. It makes it messy to eat. I got my food quick. The price of the food seems reasonable. They over charge for the water. They probably get busy at lunch, I beat the rush. Old school Italian cafe with sanguich.

We enjoyed the most delicious, fun, & memorable evening at Cafe Gentile while visiting our dear friends in Montreal. The atmosphere is beautiful, warm & welcoming, the service was impeccable, & our multi course dinner was incredible. Would highly recommend & hope to return before long. Thank you so much Anthony & co.!

Simply amazing Italian cafe in the heart of MTL's garment district. They've been around longer than I've been alive. Serving some of the tastiest food, the best coffee & iced tea, all with prompt & curteous service. You get a total NYC deli / cafe vibe here at lunch; whether you're quickly dipping in to grab a sandwich between meetings or lounging around playing pool / chit chatting on the outside terrace. This is the hub of the "schmata" life on Chabanel. If you're in the garment trade, you know Gentile, & you love'em. A veritable institution.
