Café Olimpico Mile-End, Montreal: Menu, Reviews & Reservations (2026)
CaféDesserts & SweetsCatering
Nestled in the heart of the ever-growing Mile End district, Café Olimpico has undoubtedly been one of Montreal's best-kept secrets. In a city known for its multiculturalism, Café Olimpico's European flavor definitely fits the bill. Founded in 1970 by the late Rocco Furfaro, this vibrant and charming café has not only withstood the test of time but has brought together people from all walks of life. From the businessman who sips his early morning espresso, to the artists and students who leisurely enjoy their afternoon cappuccino, Café Olimpico has proven to be a great place to meet great people.

This coffee shop was so lovely & beautifully decorated with bougainvillea flowers draped on the outside wall. Service was quick & the cafe latte I ordered tasted so good! It was one of the best lattes I have had! I do wish they had some tables to sit at outside.

If you are looking for a little local café where you can sit & read & just enjoy strangers banter, this is a great spot.

Always full of action from the moment they open till the last minute that they close.

Ambiance is phenomenal & the coffee is fantastic.

Un des deux meilleurs café en ville. Ce café est bondé en tout temps. L'été ça va car on peut prendre le café dehors, mais l'hiver il arrive que toutes les places soient prises. On y retourne, très souvent!
