Café Olimpico est souvent décrit comme un incontournable du Vieux-Montréal, avec une ambiance chaleureuse et une énergie italienne qui invite à prendre son temps. Le café est généralement riche et équilibré et accompagne des pâtisseries et desserts remarquables comme tiramisu, cannoli et bomboloni pistache, tandis que des boissons comme espresso, cortado et cappuccino remportent les meilleurs avis. L'endroit, petit et intime, offre un cadre authentique avec des touches européennes, et il est courant de trouver des places près des fenêtres pour profiter du quartier; les visiteurs apprécient aussi la fraîcheur et la qualité des pâtisseries. Le lieu attire une foule importante et les files peuvent être longues, mais l'équipe est décrite comme chaleureuse et efficace, rendant l'attente plus agréable. Situé au cœur du Vieux-Port, il propose une expérience mêlant découverte culinaire et atmosphère historique, ce qui en fait une étape privilégiée pour les amateurs de café à Montréal. Certains retours mentionnent des moments de service plus froid ou un manque de places assises lors des périodes de pointe, mais l'ensemble des avis s'accorde à dire que le café et les desserts restent d'une grande qualité et que l'identité italienne du lieu en fait une halte mémorable à Montréal.
On the positive side the place is really well located & interior decoration gives a great cosy vibe. Also service is great. Otherwise the coffee is far from the best & it is served in an unpleasant tall glass instead of a coffee cup. Most pastries can really be improved. Expect the place to be very busy because of the high reviews & its prime location in Old Port
It's fine. I really enjoyed it last year, but this year it was a bit of a let down. The service this time was worse, & coffee wasnt as good. They forgot to make my drinks, when I reminded them they were grumpy rather than apologetic, & they made them incorrectly (they forgot to sweeten). I could've probably let them know it was wrong, but gave up at that point
Great place to have coffee in Old Montreal area coz the interiors blended well with the overall feel of the area. The cafe is also intertwined with Hotel William Gray & Vetement Le Cartel.
I got the flat white, tiramisu & for take home- their beans & coffee-scented candle. The coffee was really good-full bodied, rich & strong. Tiramisu could be better though since I couldn't really taste the mascarpone.
If at once you enter the cafe from St. Vincent & it seems full, just go round past Le Cartel, you'll see more seating shared by hotel guests of William Gray.
Le café Olimpico reste un incontournable. Cependant, il manque cruellement de places assises, vu la popularité de cet emplacement. Consommer sur place reste la meilleure manière d'aller chez Olimpico.
Visited on a quiet Tuesday afternoon in April -rare breathing room at a spot usually packed in summer, & for good reason. I've never had anything sub-par here; everything is consistently high quality.
This time, the crema di caffè was the standout-best I've ever had. Perfectly balanced, smooth texture, & a generous portion unlike the tiny, overpriced versions elsewhere. The hot chocolate was rich & deep, & the cornetto with apricot jam hit the perfect note of sweetness.
My wife kept praising how fresh everything tasted. The standard here rivals what you'd find in Italy-truly impressive.

A staple… Quite small, so don't assume you will get seating, but its picturesque surroundings of old Montreal make up for it if you have to sit outside!
Awesome spot for a incredible cup of coffee! , seating is limited by the entrance, However if you do grab a seat it's definitely worth sitting there & enjoying the ambiance! Great dessert & coffee 10/10
