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.

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.

Caffè Gentile, a breeze of Sicily, with the best cannoli & biscotti in Montreal! ?🏽�😋��
It's always such a pleasure, everytime I can go! Their latte is definitely one of the best too!

*♿?Note that the location on duParc is not accessible (about 6 steps of stairs) but they have tables outside, & they'll come serve you. Come on a sunny day, & enjoy your Me time! 🤗�☕?🥐
