I had the opportunity tonight to order a small meal from Cafe Milano & I was not disappointed. I ordered the steak sandwich which was full of flavor. I also had a portion of French fries. Now let me tell you something.. the fries are crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. They were Amazing! Next time I will be going there & trying the Steak Salad. Very pleased with my choices tonight. Great food!
It is always a great experience & will go back any time. Only thing i wish they give a number when ordering instead of calling names becsuse it is loud & can't hear.
Super café italien, les cafés sont d'excellente qualité, les amateurs du café trouveront leur bonheur. Les pâtisseries proposées sont délicieuses & les cannoli sont à NE PAS RATER. L'établissement reste ouvert tard puis assez fréquenté & donc parfois il y a pas mal de bruit.
Excellent food, super nice people! I have been to this location several times everything is super especially the cannolis, & the sandwiches LOL generous portion of freeze can be shared with two people. You got to try this place if you hadn't another little hidden West Island gem
As you enter - go to the cash register to place your order & pay, you'll give your name & that's when you can seat yourself - when all is ready, they will walk around calling your name unless it's an expresso order where you can also pick up at the bar. We had a great time, & our experience was extremely gratifying, having both the Steak & Milano sub (all dressed), fries, soft drinks, & cannoli. The espresso drinks looked awesome, & the barista was informative & took his craftsmanship pleasantly seriously. All in all, it was a very nice experience.
Decent coffee shop, a nice vibe, & pretty popular. There are still enough seats for every customer. There is a separate section for studying, where everyone is on their laptop & more silent, the rest of the seats are for families, friends who are meeting up & eating lunch/brunch together. Pretty chill vibe, & the food was okay (not that special, but not bad). Coffee wasn't to my taste, but I'm not the biggest coffee drinker, so take that into consideration. My friend & I ordered a cannoli & a blueberry cheesecake. They were pretty decent, nothing out of the ordinary. Same for the service: ordinary. The atmosphere is quite nice, a averagely
Coffee is tasty, service is pleasant. They serve you your order at your table. Spacious coffee shop with lots of tables, most of the time busy. Not a calm place to work.
