Review Summary

Canard Café offers a cozy, welcoming neighborhood vibe with a work friendly setup and a strong coffee program, complemented by a generous pastry case and reliable lunch options including a ham sandwich and a much loved date square. Reviewers consistently praise the quality of drinks, from rich espressos to excellent cappuccinos and lattes, and many note friendly, attentive staff that create a warm atmosphere. The space is described as charming and bright, ideal for studying or catching up with friends, though it can get a bit noisy when the cafe is busy and seating is limited. The terrace is pleasant on nice days and dogs are welcomed with treats, while some comments mention higher prices for the portion sizes. Overall, the mix of tasty food, dependable coffee, and a relaxed vibe makes Canard Café a neighborhood favorite.

C'est mon café préféré dans le quartier. L'ambiance est chouette, c'est work-friendly, ils ont un bon menu, particulièrement le sandwich déjeuner & le carré aux dattes.

Petit endroit bien sympathique, chaleureux & sobre. J'y suis allé pour manger avec des amis un matin de décembre. Pas de double porte, donc il faisait un peu froid par moment.

Belle variétés dans le menu! L'endroit est vraisemblablement victime de sa popularité puisqu'il manquait de places où s'asseoir pour les trois moussaillons que nous étions. Sandwich déjeuner au jambon vraiment bon!

Used to have an excellent sandwich (jambon emmental) & bread here - am a regular customer! Recently the last 2 visits, the bread for the Jambon Emmental sandwich has definitely changed & is not prepared well 😞 no longer worth the cost so will not orde

Canard Café, for me, is the spiritual successor to Hoché Café &, though that's often the reason that I go inside, it simply does not hit the same way. I don't believe two sandwiches & a drink should be more than 40$ without tip, but I guess that's my neighborhood now.

Okay place, with okay service & okay food. Pastries were too sweet for my taste, not worth it. The dish I ordered (which is one of the most popular) felt like a'build your own' sandwich - tasty. I think it's a different concept, I'd rate it around 7-8, so 4 stars is enough.

J'ai pris sandwich pain baguette confit de canard & c'était excellent. L'ambiance est calme & belle musique (pas trop forte). Bon service.

The taste of sandwiches was really good. I liked the pistachio latte. It was crowded & somewhat hard to find a seat. We sat on the high chairs in front of the window.

Maybe it was the fact Covid doesn't let me out anymore, or maybe it was the fact that Hoche Café is really just that amazing. My morning espresso was literally the best I can remember having coupled with a generous & savory breakfast sandwich, & it was made all the better by the knowledgeable, upbeat & friendly staff! I also purchased ground coffee, & was blown away by the amazing (& local) selection, as well as the wonderful advice of the in-house barista. I'll be back...SOON! Thanks Hoche-Café for starting my day off perfectly!

Canard cafe is a neighborhood cafe, very laptop & business meetings friendly. I go there with my laptop & can easily spend the day. Coffee (double espresso lungo) is on point, food is really good, I love their Montreal grilled cheese sandwich, the Tahiti salad & their daily soups are served with freshly grilled baguette giving the soup an extra punch. Their dessert & pastries are good by their own merit, the dates square are my favorite.

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. The menu options are limited (4 sandwich choices) plus a couple salads & grilled cheeses but it seems whatever you choose will please your palate.
