Last week, I had the pleasure of having lunch with a friend at Café de la Gare, & it was such a delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the place felt like stepping onto a movie set. The décor is absolutely charming - vintage-style chairs & tables, beautiful wall art, & cozy lighting that creates a warm & welcoming atmosphere. Every corner seems thoughtfully designed to make you feel comfortable & inspired.
We ordered sandwiches & coffee, & both were excellent. The sandwiches were fresh & flavorful, with generous portions & great presentation. The coffee was rich & aromatic. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend hours chatting, reading, or simply enjoying the ambiance.
The service was also outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, & genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great time. Overall, Café de la Gare is a wonderful spot for a casual lunch or coffee break - a hidden gem that perfectly combines great food, lovely design, & a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.

The best place to eat in all of Montreal, not only is there food amazing, but cheap. I would recommend the BLT. It was so good I had to go back while on vacation!

If there is a reason I take my coffee/breakfast from this spot when I got bunch of spots next to my work place is that this place deserves the five stars for a lot of reasons, the great service, no line up, love their Bagel, Muffins etc... If you are about to travel or you've just arrived, I would recommend this cute coffee shop in the Central Train Station.

Dieses Café ist eine echte Perle. Das Essen ist wunderbar und dazu noch günstiger. Die Bagels sind weich und knusprig getoastet. Das Ambiente ist ebenso herzlich und witzig wie die Betreiber. Es gibt dir einen Moment Ruhe am Bahnhof. 🥯🚈

Grabbed a chicken poké bowl to go. The service was fast & welcoming. The bowl was great & fresh with a very fair price. Would recommend it to every traveller before you get on a train!

Love this place. Have come here frequently ever since I came for the first time a few months ago. I go for my standard order - black coffee & toasted bagel with jam. The gentleman at the counter in fact remembered the order after only a few times - that's great customer service. Love their coffee - perhaps the best one around. Bagel & jam are great.
They're right next to the gates for Via & Exo trains, so very convenient location if you want to quickly grab something before getting on the train.
Unfortunately they are open only till 1:30PM. I hope they stay open a little more in future.
Love the interiors as well. Very thoughtful.
The lady & the gentleman at the counter are very nice & friendly.
Definitely recommended!!
