Café Milano in St-Leonard is a popular Italian bistro with café. The specialties are sandwiches (Salcicia/ Steak/Chicken), submarines, soups and salads. Open late for the late night diners and offers what many say is "the best Italian espresso".
Cafe Milano draws mixed impressions from patrons, with many praising the coffee, croissants and pastries, cannoli, and a range of Italian fast food options including vegan and Beyond Meat choices. The desserts and Nutella pastries are highlighted as standout treats, and the vibe is described as warm and welcoming. Seating and service can feel crowded and chaotic on busy days, with some visits noting long waits and a counter order system that leaves diners searching for help. A few experiences mention issues like burnt onion rings or less satisfying coffee drinks, including a latte served in an unconventional cup. Despite sporadic drawbacks, the location remains a popular West Island spot for reliable coffee, tasty subs, and a broad selection of desserts that many see as worth returning for.
Simple, rapide, bons sandwichs & salades. Un peu bruyant avec les employés qui crient & l'environnement (planchers, murs, etc) où rien n'a été conçu pour absorber le son.
Really great staff, had my sandwich brought to the table, I was on my laptop because I was out of power & this place was perfect for a sandwich & some wifi. I saw lots of people enjoy the bistro atmosphere.
I was visiting Montreal for a few days & visited Cafe Milano almost twice a day. The cafe is spacious with a nice outdoor seating area. The coffee is so good. I loved the flat whites, espresso's, cortados & macchiatos whether iced or hot. The service was always great & prices are not bad. They offer multiple food options, dessert & pastries. If you have not visited I will say it's highly recommended & next time I am in the city I am coming back.
Weather today for the first time. Heard about this place for a while & decided to go check it out for lunch. I'm very happy that I did. Had the Milano special sandwich was absolutely fantastic very tasty & cooked well. Packed with meat & veggies. Can't wait to go back
Great little cafe. Very friendly guy at the cash. Would choose to go there with friends over the popular commercial chain cafes any day !! The waiter Paolo is very nice & always offers the best service ! Sadly, the place has changed since last year. The A-Rabs have taken over. Loud, dirty & entitled. They come in at 10PM with their 5 kids (young kids) & act like animals.
