Review Summary

Café Tranquille is widely regarded as a beautiful, cozy, and modern destination in the heart of downtown, praised for its bright atmosphere, pleasant views of the Esplanade, and relaxing decor that includes plants and a fireplace. Many visitors appreciate the space as an ideal spot to study, work, or unwind with friends, highlighting the reliable WiFi, available power outlets, and consistent quality of coffee and pastries. While the ambiance is frequently described as a highlight, some guests note that the café often becomes overcrowded, making it difficult to find seating, especially when students occupy tables for long periods or when the ice rink is open. Service experiences are mixed, with many finding the staff friendly and attentive, while others report inconsistent hours or occasional issues with professionalism. Despite concerns regarding high prices and limited seating availability during peak times, the overall consensus is that Café Tranquille remains a highly recommended location for those seeking a peaceful refuge in the city.

Personnel sympathique, bonne cuisine & l'ambiance est très agréable. Prêt gratuit de jeux & couvertures pour les clients :)) Par contre, c'est dommage qu'il y ait peu de places disponibles lorsque la patinoire est ouverte, certaines personnes monopolisant des places quelques heures avec leur ordi…

J'y suis allé avec ma femme. Lieu très sympa, mais le barman lui, il est désagréable avec la clientèle, c'est bien dommage. . .

I didn't appreciate the aggressive behaviour of the man working the bar raising his voice at a lady who wasn't hostile or difficult or anything to warrant that kind of treatment.
You guys should fire him.

Such a beautiful place! However, people coming with lap tps etc. tend to come & stay...leaving not much room for others. But still worth going ;)

L'endroit est vraiment génial & ce qui y est servi aussi. Le seul problème, c'est que c'est tellement bien qu'en fonction des heures, c'est souvent assez plein & on n'arrive pas à trouver de la place au bord des fenêtres.

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.
