Très mauvaise expérience chez Olympico. Alors que toute la terrasse était remplie de supporters venus regarder le match de l'Algérie, les employés ont refusé de mettre le match dès le début. Leur excuse ? « La batterie du téléphone est plate », ce qui ne semblait pas sérieux. Résultat : nous avons raté les 10 premières minutes du match. Le personnel s'est montré irrespectueux, hautain & peu soucieux de satisfaire ses clients. C'est vraiment décevant de traiter une clientèle de cette façon. Je ne recommande pas cet établissement.

A café recommended by several travel reviewers, & I can see why. The coffee was good, & the sandwich was tasty as well.

The place has a lively atmosphere & a lot of character. Service was quick & efficient, though not especially warm or friendly. That said, everything ran smoothly.

Overall, it's a nice spot for coffee & a light meal if you're exploring the area.

I have been coming to Cafe Olimpico for years & it remains a staple in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is always buzzing with energy & the espresso is consistently the best in the city. It is the perfect place to sit outside on a warm afternoon & just people watch while enjoying a high quality drink. The staff members are fast & professional even when the place is packed to the brim with customers. Highly recommended for anyone who values a genuine coffee house experience.

Honestly one of the most reliable cafes in Montreal. I come here specifically for the Italian style espresso which is rich & bold without being overly bitter. It is not really a place to bring your laptop & work for hours because it is usually quite loud & busy but it is incredible for catching up with friends. The service is efficient & the location is great for continuing a walk through the city after you finish your drink. I really appreciate the authentic atmosphere they have maintained.

Stopped by this cafe on a whim while walking around the area & I am so glad I did. The interior has a cool retro vibe & the coffee actually tastes like it was made by someone who knows what they are doing. I ordered a latte & it had the perfect microfoam texture that is so hard to find these days. It is definitely a popular spot so be prepared to wait a few minutes for a table but it is worth the patience. I will be making this my new regular weekend stop for sure.

This is a quintessential Montreal cafe experience that you simply cannot miss. The crowd is diverse & the energy is always upbeat. I appreciate that they focus on doing a few things very well rather than having a massive complicated menu. The espresso is robust & always served at the perfect temperature. I usually grab a seat on the terrace if the weather permits. It feels like a piece of Europe dropped right into the middle of the neighborhood. A must visit for any serious coffee lover in the area.

You don't stay in business for more than 50 years & establish several locations & have lineups of customers if you weren't great, & this basically Café Olimpico in a nutshell.

Excellent coffee, decadent gelato & exquisite desserts, in a welcoming environment that proudly showcases its history, coupled with exceptional customer service that's both attentive & friendly.

This was my first visit to Café Olimpico, & if I lived in Montréal, I would've been a regular. You must try this café, you'll be impressed like I was.

Soyez respectueux envers les clients qui payent pour regarder le match dans votre café. Tout autant que le match n'est pas fini, ce n'est pas la fin.
