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.
Delicious food & great service! Great ambience. The French toast was too sweet for our liking but still good if you like it sweet! Chicken & waffle was our favourite. Cappuccino was good too.
We have visited this restaurant 3 times over the summer for the bottomless mimosas, the food was always great but the service is lacking. It took 25 minutes to place our order & although we paid for the bottomless mimosas the service was so slow we got about 2 refills & let's be honest it was 95% orange juice.
Would love to go back because we really enjoy the food but they really need someone that is just greeting & filling glasses, a great restaurant like that should really step up they're game service wise.
This place is great! Brunch was delicious, served quick from excellent staff, & to top it all off the price was very reasonable. We liked it so much we came back the next day.
What an amazing experience! Great food, large portions, great service all accompanied by a laid back relaxing vibe! My friends & I loved it! Thank you!
