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 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.

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.

My first time in Canada & I am so thankful we made a pit stop at this quaint eatery! The staff were extremely kind & hospitable & went the extra mile to make our experience lovely. The food was to die for, the atmosphere is fun, but the staff made this one of our favorite lunches of all time. We will definitely be back if we visit Montreal in the future!

I tried a cannoli... then I bought all they had left (6). They make excellent cannoli. The place was busy at lunchtime, but the service was fast.
