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.

Here, as Italian, I am not only happy to find a good espresso or cappuccino, I am proud to find such a'bar' as we would call this in Italy representing real Italian food & coffee tradition. Everything is authentic & the vibe is great on a rainy weekend morning

La café Latte a changé, il est plus léger en goût de café on dirait. On aime toujours la place mais il serait bien que leur latte ai un goût de café plus prononcé. Merciiii

The coffee & cannoli at Cafe Olimpico - Mile End were good.

The Americano coffee was good with some acidity.

The Cortado was mostly smooth & strong coffee with a bit of acidity.

The Cannoli was a good crispy pastry with a not too sweet, creamy vanilla filling :)

Cafe Olimpico never fails to impress, but there's something special about stepping into one of Montreal's iconic spots after a long Monday. The warm welcome from Phil & Julien always makes it feel like home. On top of that, the service is fast & efficient, & the end result is always a delicious treat!

Came from New York to spend a week in Montreal. It was a forty minute walk from where I was staying, & I came here four times. Very relaxed. Lots of locals. Great outdoor area for relaxing in the sun or people watching. Coffee was really good, & the staff has that familiar vibe with just about everyone. It's like they're your cousins, but you're not sure how or from what side of the family. Will always come back when I visit Montreal. Helps that St. Viatuer bagel is right around the corner.

The tiramisu here is fantastic. It wasn't too sweet & had the right amount of coffee flavor. The coffee was really good too.
