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.
Ginkgo Café Bar is described as a cozy, stylish spot with a warm vibe that attracts students for brunch and after classes, where the staff are generally friendly and attentive. Food quality is mixed across visits, ranging from standout dishes like hearty poutine, rich Benedicts and guacamole to meals that feel bland, lukewarm or overpriced, with occasional menu changes and price bumps affecting value. Service quality also varies; many reviews praise fast, courteous service, while others report slow, inattentive staff or missteps. The ambiance is repeatedly cited as appealing and not too loud, though some mention decor wear, occasional cleanliness issues, or doors left open letting flies in. The bar scene gets praise for late day and weekend drinks, including a well regarded mimosa option, and the location near campus is a plus. Overall, it reads as a reliable local favorite for a casual meal or drinks, with strong opinions on value and 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
