Mintar est un petit café chaleureux dont l'ambiance conviviale et le service attentionné reviennent souvent comme points forts; la carte variée couvre le petit déjeuner et le déjeuner avec des cottage cheese pancakes, des omelettes, des sandwiches au halloumi et des bols variés; le café et les pancakes sont fréquemment salués et le croissant pistache est particulièrement apprécié; quelques avis signalent toutefois un café parfois brûlé ou un espresso trop extrait et des boissons trop lactées; l'espace restreint et le bruit peuvent rendre l'expérience moins confortable pendant les pics d'affluence; malgré ces bémols, Mintar est souvent décrit comme une véritable pépite montréalaise, avec une atmosphère agréable et un personnel chaleureux qui donne envie de revenir pour tester d'autres plats et boissons.
Genuinely impressed with the food & coffee here. With so many interesting cafes & restaurants in this wonderful City, I rarely want to go to the same place twice. But I will certainly return to Mintar.
Perfect in every way. Beautiful presentation. I loved this cafe & I came here 3 times in 3 days while at a conference nearby. A gem! I had lunch twice & the sandwiches were delightful.

I saw the pistachio croissant & I had to have it. It was better than I could have imagined. Not only is it covered with a delicious pistachio paste on the outside, it is sliced in half & spread with the filling on the inside. Highly recommended for those 10,000+ step days.
The cortado was very nicely prepared too. With a nice dark foam.
It was raining outside & it was nice to escape inside by the window.
There are not a lot of seats & it got BUSY after I sat down. They are well staffed & quick with the service though.
Oh wait! I see more seats upstairs. What a gem this café is. I will stay awhile.
The guy on the till speaks great English & French.
Petit café tout simple un peu à l'extérieur de la zone touristique. Quel accueil fabuleux, on s'assure à quelques reprises que nous sommes satisfait de notre repas & oui nous étions très satisfaits. Les portions sont copieuses à un prix fort raisonnable, & le tout très, très savoureux . Leur café est un délice. Osez explorer & vous serez ravis.
We had a lovely breakfast at this cafe & were genuinely impressed by the warm & attentive service. Despite the place being quite busy, the staff remained kind, composed, & consistently made an effort to check in with customers. It was clear they genuinely care about creating a good experience for everyone - we could hear the staff member regularly asking guests if they needed anything, which really stood out.
As for the food - the coffee was excellent, & both of our meals were delicious. We got the steak & eggs, & the egg & ham. Both were flavorful & well-prepared. The entire atmosphere was cozy & inviting, making it a place we'd be happy to return to.
Next time, we're planning to try their breakfast bowls - they looked great!
Jolie petite place à l'ambiance familiale très agréable, le café est délicieux, le personnel est souriant & adorable...
C'est une très belle découverte !

I had a fantastic experience at this cafe! The coffee was perfect-rich & flavorful. The service was amazing; the staff were friendly & attentive. Additionally, the food was delicious, offering a great variety of options. Highly recommend!
Mintar Café Inc became my go-to spot for breakfast in Montreal. I loved it so much that I went back twice! The service was excellent, & both times I visited, it was busy, which is always a good sign. It's not just tourists; even locals come here for breakfast. I had a steak that was a little spicy, but I really enjoyed it, & the Americano was perfect. It's a great place with wonderful service, & I highly recommend it.

The best place & hospitality we recieved when in M'tl. We were just on couple days of trip & decided to go here on our last day of our trip & i m glad we went here. The barista (probs the owner) i guess took good care of his customers. He was very attentive while taking irders & making everyones order. Very friendly atmosphere & there was never a room if awkwardness or customer owner vibe. He was very friendly with everybody in the cafe. Will definitely come back here wenever i visit next.
Un vrai coup de coeur à Montréal !
De passage en ville, j'ai découvert ce café-snack situé au coeur de la Place des Arts, tout près de l'UQAM.
Le service est au top, chaleureux & attentionné.
Le café est excellent & le bowl… juste incroyable ! Des saveurs fraîches & bien équilibrées.
Une belle découverte que je recommande sans hésiter. Je reviendrai à coup sûr !
Me & a friend decided to go to Mintar today & from the start we were warmly greeted by the barista & the owner of the cafe. The owner is supper nice & came up to us making sure everything was to our liking. Me & my friend each took a latte, we ordered the cottage cheese pancakes & the classic sandwich to share & everything was absolutely amazing. The portions were big, we couldn't finish our plates but we had a hard time stopping because it was so good. Definitely a hidden gem & will definitely be going back.
Prerequisite for a cafe should be to have decent wifi. Something third world country cafes have, whereas this cafe has a non-existent connection. If you're planning on working, seek another location.
I was truly impressed by the staff's attentiveness, politeness, friendliness, & proactive approach. Rare qualities, I seldom found in any other cafe in Montreal.
Ambience is good enought to dive in to a book.
The coffee was decent & served in a cool cup. The Almond croissant felt a bit stale so i left it midway. Will give benefit of doubt here.
Overall a descent experience, The staff definitely outshines as compared to other cafes.
Visited once again: Service top notch, very welcoming. Delicious omelette sandwich & decent coffee.
J'avais un rendez-vous dans le secteur, du temps à tuer & un déjeuner à manger. Si j'ai le choix entre un café d'une franchise ou un petit café du coin, je prends TOUJOURS la deuxième option. Arrivée dans ce minuscule café avec sept table & une vingtaine de chaises, je choisi un sandwich oeuf & jambon & un americano. Les deux étaient extraordinaire. Le café & fort & le plats parfaitement assaisonner. De plus, la musique arabe (pas mal certain) m'a presque fait sentir comme chez moi. Ajoutant ainsi un accent chaleureux au restaurant. 10/10
