Le Ginkgo est un concept unique situé en plein cœur du pavillon de l’école des sciences de la gestion de l’UQAM. Nous vous présentons un établissement resto/bar jamais vu au Québec et une gastronomie réfléchie. Nous saurons combler les attentes des étudiants bien sûr, mais également du personnel universitaire et de la clientèle d’affaires du secteur. Au plaisir de vous y accueillir.
Dans l'ensemble, Ginkgo Café Bar se présente comme un endroit branché et cosy pour le brunch, pratique après les cours ou le travail. L'ambiance et la décoration sont souvent saluées, et le service est décrit comme sympathique et rapide lors de certaines visites, mais il peut être plus lent ou moins attentif pendant les périodes d'affluence. Le menu reçoit des éloges pour des plats de brunch savoureux, des portions généreuses et des propositions phares comme la salade au halloumi, mais plusieurs plats sont qualifiés de fades, tièdes ou manquant de saveur, et certains avis évoquent des changements de menu et des hausses de prix. Les boissons sont un point fort pour beaucoup, avec un café solide, un mimosa à volonté et de bons cocktails à l'heure heureuse, bien que certains clients estiment que les prestations ou les prix pourraient être plus clairs. L'expérience peut varier selon la visite, avec des préoccupations occasionnelles concernant le rapport qualité-prix, des soucis d'hygiène ou de propreté et le niveau de bruit selon l'heure. Dans l'ensemble, c'est une adresse de choix pour le brunch et les boissons casuales, avec des aspects positifs notés à plusieurs reprises et une atmosphère agréable malgré les critiques occasionnelles.
The food was delicious, especially the flavourful potatoes & tasty 3-cheese omelette. The menu was excellent with a lot of choices. & the $30 all you can drink in 90min Tower Mimosa's looked fabulous! 🍹 A suggestion might be that the Server promote this when taking your order! (We didn't order it)
I loved all the windows & the set-up of the establishment. A very quaint cafe. However it was quite expensive considering the ambiance, as the furniture itself was dated & mismatched & staff were unrecognizable in their attire. At first, I had no idea who actually was working there compared to the patrons. My opinion would be a more uniformed look for the servers & logos on their shirts, drawing a more sophisticated look of an upscale cafe that suits their price point. Also it took a while for us to get service to start with a coffee or beverage. Then for my meal, they brought me the wrong order. & I understand accidents happen, but usually a restaurant would then compliment the meal after having to wait 10 more minutes while the other person ate their food. This is just custom courtesy in the restaurant industry. But overall, the food is great & some simple changes would improve the overall dining experience.
Amazing Brunch Spot! This place has it all-delicious food, great drinks, & a cozy atmosphere. The staff is friendly & attentive, & the menu is full of creative, flavorful options. Don't miss the signature mimosas or the Demi Demi! Perfect for a casual brunch or a special outing. I'll definitely be back! Rating: 5/5

I would say my experience wasn't very good. It's a bottomless mimosa place, but I didn't like that my drinks were tasteless & seemed watered down. The food wasn't bad, & I liked the atmosphere & the high ceilings. Maybe one day I'll give it a try again & hopefully they change their way of serving drinks.
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.
Not recommended! They took their time to sit us down (the place was less than half full). They then took 10 minutes to bring us the menu (we code - online only). They then took around 15-20 minutes to take our order. They brought us brunch very fast so that was a relief but our drinks took 30 minutes to be brought to us after we ordered them! While the food was not bad, I was not impressed at all. The potatoes were really good, too bad they ran out of ketchup!! What place sells burgers & runs out of ketchup?!? I'd suggest skipping this place altogether.
Food was very disappointing - got waffles with « English cream » that was in fact vanilla pudding & tasted like it, & an Eggs Florentine with uncooked spinach, untoasted bread & unmelted cheddar cheese. The kitchen was unable to make their meat lovers Benedict with 2 instead of 3 (or 1) meats, which was the only reason I ended up with a half-baked eggs florentine instead. The only redeeming qualities were a solid cappuccino, due to the filter coffee machine being broken, & very pleasant service. Embarrassing for 20$ per meal with no drinks included. A clear downgrade from a very nice experience with similar meals a few years ago.
Le burger vege est très bon quoique la dernière fois il était un peu trop cuit. Les drinks sont pas mal aussi. J'aimerais un peu plus de choix végétariens mais sinon j'aime beaucoup l'endroit!

Service was terrible, waited 10 minutes for someone to seat us (we had a reservation) while multiple people just walked by us. 20 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us , we had to ask 3 times for us to order.
Overall we could of been in & out within an hour but we were there over 2 hours because of the service.
Also forgot some of the drinks we ordered, if the server would of came to check our food she would of noticed or we would of asked for it.
3 stars because the food was alright. Other than that 👎
Food was great but unfortunately the service was lacking. We ordered two drinks & two meals, & both one meal & a drink were incorrect, one of our drinks was also full dairy which we didn't want or know of until we saw the bill
It was ok, service was very very slow. I had shell in my eggs. Bottomless mimosa is hard when it takes awhile to be served. & martini prosecco Way too sweet for the mimosas. Better quality out there for cheaper. My table all hated their drinks, Caesar was bad. I was disappointed cause we went to your restaurant during covid times & it was way better. We'll comeback to try again..maybe it was just a bad day.
Food was great to the taste but as always service was really slow, & we endend up getting lukewarm potatoes & benedict eggs. Also one of the locks in the lady's bathroom seems to be broken as the door was opened on me while I was peeing which is always a good way to start a day. That's something that should be checked. Coffees & drinks were brought to us 20 mins after we asked for them & the coffee was already cold when we got it. I was hoping that my second visit would be better than my first visit where I wasn't even able to get to speak to a waiter to get a refill on my coffee (which was on saint-patrick's day & very busy to be fair to the staff) but it was somehow worse... I'm not sure I'm gonna go back, I love the ambiance but is it really worth paying for cold food & not so great service? I had a reservation & so did many groups that were also there on that day, but it seems the managing team keeps failing to schedule enough waiters & bartenders & that's the biggest flaw for a restaurant since it affects every sphere of the service.
