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.

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.

J'ai commandé un sandwich poulet parmesan de ce restaurant & je trouve que le goût était ordinaire...De plus, le sandwich était pas mal petit pour le prix...

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.
