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.
Le service était déficient, nous avons pris le forfait mimosa à volonté mais sans ré-service. Grande déception pour ma part. Nous étions assis dans l'UQAM où nous étions à l'abandon.
Un vrai plaisir à chaque visite, autant pour un déjeuner tranquille en semaine que pour un brunch festif la fin de semaine. Le staff est vraiment nice, attentionné & souriant 💚 À bientôt !
Nourriture très bonne, personnel très accueillant, cadre sympathique mais musique trop forte (surtout pour un brunch) & temps d'attente des plats & boissons assez long.

Magnifique découverte, cherchions un restaurant brunch à proximité du St Denis. Un service irréprochable, une belle variété au menu, un excellent rapport qualité prix.
Came here for a spontaneous brunch & we were seated immediately but at a table outside the restaurant area within the building complex (the ambience was very off & while the inside of the restaurant itself is decorated very nicely, the area where we were sat was lacking). The food was good & while the staff was nice, it was impossible to get ahold of them when we needed them.

Magnifique découverte à deux pas du Théâtre St Denis. Personnel accueillant, service impeccable, assiettes généreuses & un excellent choix. Je recommande sans hésitation
C'est la deuxième fois que j'ai fait un babyshower & serais pas la dernière si vous besoin de une place pour fêter un petit événement Ginkgo Café C'est la meilleure option, la nourriture délicieuse & le service de qualité Merci a toute l'equipe & je le recomend 100%
Choix de musique & son trop fort pour un déjeuner-brunch. Pour avoir déjà travaillé dans un restaurant c'est souvent pour le personnel que cette musique nous permet de travailler avec entrain, mais souvent un irritant pour les clients. Service fait avec beaucoup de courtoisie & de bonne humeur, à notre table.
