Café Tranquille is widely described as a warm, peaceful and photogenic space with plants, a fireplace and large windows overlooking the ice rink, creating an ambiance that invites relaxing, chatting or working; the atmosphere is repeatedly cited as the strongest feature, with a calm, comfortable setting and attractive decor, though seating can be hard to find when the rink is open and on busy weekends, with some tables claimed for hours by students or others not ordering. The coffee and sweet options are considered solid but not expansive, with the Cortado and Golden latte singled out as especially good, hot chocolate and pastries earning praise, while a few drinks such as the chai latte miss the mark. Service is described as friendly overall, though a negative note is raised about a bartender's attitude in one instance. Located upstairs near the Esplanade skating rink, it is seen as a must-visit for atmosphere and a convenient spot for catching up with friends, studying or simply enjoying the view, even if capacity can limit near-window seating and the menu isn't very large.

One of my favourite cafe's in montreal. Very cozy environment with a fireplace & big windows for a nice view. Be aware though that especially with the ice rink being open seating is limited & it gets busy. Otherwise it's a nice place to catch up with friends or to study. The staff is also very friendly!

Superbe endroit, personnel très sympathique.
Mais une étoile car cela fais deux fois que je viens dans cet endroit & les places sont toujours squatté par des étudiants ou travailleurs avec leurs cours & ordinateurs & restent des heures .... Du coup les gens qui viennent profiter de la patinoire ne peuvent pas s assoir boire un verre. De plus, la plupart de ces personnes ne consomment même pas où viennent avec des boissons d autres enseignes....
Ils devraient faire comme d autres cafés de Montréal, cours & ordinateurs interdits ou alors dans la grande salle hors sac a côté.

The room is really spacious & modern. The cafeteria is small though. My hot chocolate came only warm. The staff is friendly.

Une belle découverte, j'ai pris un chocolat chaud & aucun regret pour moi le meilleur de Montréal vraiment!!!! Il avait pas de chantilly quand j'ai demandé mais il était tellement bon que c'était vite oublié.

Excellent/absolutely delicious cortado & madeleine (got caramel pecan - yum!)
Such a cosy surprise right in the middle of Quartier des Spectacles overlooking the patinoire - awesome vibe!
However I would love to come back when it's not late afternoon/evening on a Saturday, very difficult to find a place to sit!

the chai latte was unfortunately awful but maybe the other drinks are better. i think it can be a good place for passing by waiting time in downtown.

cafe vraiemnt tranquille, beaucoup de boiserie & plantes, avec grandes fenetres , tres agreables pour s'y installer. Un peu cher le cafe, mais bon en plein centre-ville c'est normal. J'y retournerai.
