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.

Coffee is dark & rich in flavor & made fresh every time. The cannoli was the best I ever had. The cafe crème ice cream/ soft serve is top notch.

Affogato was delicious but the bathroom...🤢 If you stare enough at the picture I'm sure you'll be able to smell it too.

I love my espresso & cortado's daily so when my brother found out I was visiting Montreal he highly recommended this spot.
This place is awesome at all hours of the day.
We stayed downtown so we visited the location on Boulevard Robert?Bourassa & we also enjoyed the location in Old Montreal.
If you like great coffee & a great vibe make sure you check out any of the locations.
The added old photos on the wall of the Italian national team Azzuri is a very nice touch.
You won't be disappointed.

Very popular & busy, delicious drinks & pastries, great spot. So busy that most don't prefer to sit & enjoy as it's too crowded but lots of spots outside to enjoy. Probably too expensive for the value received but great spot to try!
