Review Summary

Café Noya is a popular downtown destination known for its cozy atmosphere and Japanese comfort food, particularly its flavorful udon dishes, variety of onigiri, and high quality matcha beverages. Many visitors appreciate the welcoming vibe and fresh, well presented meals that make it a favorite spot for studying or a casual lunch.

🍙 Onigiris
Tuna spicy mayo - 10/10, a little bit lemony which makes it really good
Unagi - 7/10
Smoked Salmon - 6/10

Beef Udon - 9/10, really good broth
Sésame dango - 6/10, okay but is a bit stale as it's been sitting in the fridge
Sparkling orange yuzu soda - 5/10, you don't really taste the yuzu at all

Next time I come I'll probably give the cream udons a try with beef add-ons!

🍜 The beef udon was SO GOOD - LOVED the broth -well-balanced broth that complemented the noodles. The noodles were also cooked perfectly (not under cooked nor over cooked). The freshly baked matcha cookies were soft, fresh, & not too sweet.

The people who work & serve there are also super nice -adding to the welcoming café vibes.

An absolute gem in downtown Montreal! You won't find another place like it for amazing matcha, udon, onigiri, & Japanese desserts. Not to mention the warm & dedicated service from the whole team, but especially the manager Mai. A must visit for tourists & Montreal locals alike!

Had the curry udon & chicken teriyaki. It was quite bland. The music was loud & it was only trashy female rap songs. Terrace outside is nice though

I LOVE Café Noya. As you can tell by my pictures, I come here quite often & I've eaten a lot of items here & love all of it. The food here is so satisfying: hearty, tasty & yet not too fatty. Perfect balance as Japanese food always achieves.

The chicken katsu onigiri is seriously addicting (I could eat A LOT of those). You also can't go wrong with the creamy miso udon. Honestly, everything they have tastes fantastic. My go-to, though? Spicy chicken rice with extra beef. I could eat that every day (& I almost do lol).

The location is also very convenient if you take public transportation as it's right next to Peel metro.

I'm telling ya'll, Café Noya is a gem. I love the food, I love the staff. It's my favourite place to eat at after work.
