Café Olimpico Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (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.

We drive from Laval four nights a week to enjoy the lattes & sweets prepared by the most pleasant baristas in Montreal! Just love the whole trip! Atmosphere, people, screens to watch your favourite sports. Voila!
