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.

Everything was perfect steak & chicken sandwich excellent. The only little minor issue is the menu, the prices on the menu & the price that is charged is about $3.00 more per item.

The chef during the weekdays is amazing! My friends & I particularly come during weekdays because we never get tired of the pasta & chicken that he cooks. I personally got the chance to meet him - he is super nice & hardworking. Whether I take the food for dine in or take out, it's always good! Love this place.

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.

Gentile is a 5 star establishment from the service, to the quality of the food. They always get everything right! The salad & sandwich combination (Chicken Cutlet or cheese steak) is unbeatable! The iced tea is the best one in the city.
