Located in UQAM’s School of Management Services pavilion, Ginkgo is a unique concept. We give you an unprecedented resto/bar and a reflective gastronomy. We will satisfy student’s needs of course, but also the needs of academic staff and business customers of the sector. Looking forward to welcoming you there.
Overall, Ginkgo Café Bar comes across as a stylish and cozy brunch spot that many reviews find convenient for after class or work. The vibe and decor are commonly praised, and service is described as friendly and fast on some visits, though slower or less attentive during busy periods. The menu earns praise for flavorful brunch dishes, generous portions, and standout items like halloumi salad, but several meals are called bland, lukewarm, or lacking flavor, and some reviews note changes to the menu and pricing. Beverages are a highlight for many, with solid coffee, a popular bottomless mimosa, and good cocktails at happy hour, though a few guests feel inclusions or pricing could be clearer. Experience can vary by visit, with occasional concerns about value for money, small issues such as hair in food or cleanliness, and noise levels depending on the time of day. Taken together, it remains a go-to spot for brunch and casual drinks with a mix of positive remarks about staff and atmosphere interspersed with criticisms of price or consistency.
Came here for breakfast. There's construction outside so a little hard to get in. Place was not populated, was about 8:30am. Was greeted by a beautiful hostess. Had one of the egg packages with sausage, ham, bread, potatoes & crepes. Pretty good deal to be honest.
Food is decent, breakfast taco was delicious, & the eggs benedicts with potatoes are very good. The coffee & iced coffee tastes very watery, would not recommend
This was our first stop for breakfast after arriving from Toronto. We were greeted by Vincent who was an absolute ray of sunshine. He made sure we have everything we needed & the food & drinks we ordered were also good! We ordered the demi-demi, mochaccino & strawberry-banana smoothie.
Great breakfast/brunch spot! This was my first time trying a crepe & it was AMAZING! I had the Nutella, banana, & strawberry one. This place had probably the best potato's I have ever had, too. The iced chai latte was amazing, too. Renaud was our waiter & he was so friendly & had such a great vibe to him. Definitely recommend this place 100% for brunch & breakfast!!

Some of the best breakfast food I've had, great quality great portions & great service. Can get busy on a weekend but the good service & food remains. A must try in Montreal.
Nice high-ceilinged light-filled room. Accepts reservations even for weekend mornings- rare in Montreal.
Music too loud & too night-club for 10am breakfast.
Food ok but ordinary. Portions good.
Food was good but service is atrocious in the sense that it doesn't exist. Waited half an hour for someone to take our order & the only reason they did is because we managed to catch a different server on their way by our table. Save yourself the time & try another breakfast spot
