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.

Review Summary

Across reviews, Café Olimpico is celebrated for a buzzing, authentic Italian cafe vibe and a reputation for rich, balanced espresso and a wide pastry case that includes cannoli, tiramisu, pistachio cream bomboloni, and croissants; customers praise the care taken with each drink and the sense of old world charm. The atmosphere is described as cozy, lively, and welcoming, with stone walls and dark wood, indoor tables and an extensive terrace, making it a place to linger whether stopping by for a quick coffee or settling in for conversation or people watching. Service is noted as quick, friendly, and attentive, though crowds and lines are common at peak hours, and some mention that bathrooms or exterior cleanliness could be improved. The offerings extend beyond coffee to desserts and Italian sweets, with many calling the cannoli, cafe creme ice cream, and tiramisu must tries, and the overall experience likened to a trip to Europe. Several locations are praised for consistency and open hours, contributing to Café Olimpico's status as a Montreal institution and a dependable spot for late night espresso, weekend hangouts, or a casual catch up with friends, all while keeping the energy convivial and the prices reasonable.

Une place de café populaire de Montréal. Le decor reflète bien le café. Il y a souvent un line up pour avoir sa commande. Le staff est rapide a executer les commandes. Leur cafe & dessert sont tres bon. A l'exterieur il y des places assises. La chose negative: le propreté à l'exterieur, les poubelles débordent souvent. Sinon l'affogato & le cafe crème sont mes coups de coeu

El café muy rico y los pastelitos también. El ambiente es muy ruidoso, no es un bar para pasar mucho el rato y leer o trabajar.

Good burned Italian coffee.
Need more minerals, vespene gazers empty.
Herd the owner plays Protoss only canon rush.
Good amount of SCVs, they are ready. APM is quite high. Reynor would approve. You can pay cash skipping the line if you have a mustache or second generation Italian.
Cafe freddo are amazing.

The vibe at Cafe Olimpico is always buzzing, always busy, always friendly & fast. Came highly recommended, & would highly recommend! They have oat milk & were very accommodating with a'half-caf' request. The perfect pick me up for two New Yorkers visiting Montreal's Mile End: Cafe Olimpico for an oat milk latte then down the street for St Viateur Bagels ('all dressed' for everything bagel lovers).

Great coffee, amazing snacks. Granita is a must if your there, no matter time or weather.
It was packed when we went & there was a little line up but worth the wait.
