Review Summary

Monk Café Buvette comes across as a cozy, plant-filled neighborhood spot with a versatile menu from coffee and brunch to cocktails and dinner, and the atmosphere is repeatedly described as warm, welcoming and vibrant; reviews highlight tasty food, well crafted drinks, especially espresso martinis and mochas, and a reliable, friendly service that many say makes the place a go-to for brunch, a casual dinner, or a night out. While the staff is often praised for attentiveness and hospitality, some experiences note slower service during busy times and occasional delays, and there are comments about the beer selection being limited with calls for guest beers. Live music and karaoke events add to the lively vibe, and many reviewers express a strong intention to return, appreciating the ambience, value, and the way the venue brightens the neighborhood street.

Food is a bit overpriced in my opinion for the amount that you get, but it is good quality & tasty! :)
I was especially blown away by the mocha coffee I got! Definitely, in my top 3 best mochas I've gotten in my life. So if you're looking for a sweet tasting coffee drink, definitely give it a try!

We went there in the evening. The music was a little loud, no vegetarian options, except for light snacks like fries. They messed up our drinks. No English menu. It seemed like more of a romantic bar scene for locals than a cafe for tourists. The place was pretty & the staff was nice, hence the second star, won't be going back

(updated) This is my favorite cafe/pub in the neighborhood. Great food. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, drinks are all great. Friendly staff, chill atmosphere, local products & fresh produce. Highly recommended.

Step into Monk Cafe in Montreal & be enveloped in a tranquil oasis. The moment I walked in, I was struck by the lush greenery that fills every corner of this charming cafe. Full plants & verdant walls create a cozy atmosphere that feels like a warm hug. It's the perfect escape from the hustle & bustle of the city. But the ambiance is just the beginning. The food at Monk Cafe is equally impressive, with each dish expertly presented & bursting with flavor. The menu offers a delightful range of options to suit every taste, & the staff is happy to offer recommendations. As I sipped my coffee & savored my meal, I felt like I was in a serene garden, surrounded by nature's beauty. The plants & greenery add a touch of magic to the space, making it feel like a hidden gem in the heart of the city. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with delicious food & drink, look no further than Monk Cafe.

The interior of Monk Café is beautifully designed, creating a wonderful ambiance. I'm giving this place 5 stars because the customer service is outstanding. The owners genuinely care about their business & quickly resolved any issues we had, which made us feel truly valued as customers. The drinks are fantastic, & the staff's service & attitude are impeccable. Plus, they show football matches, which my bf absolutely loved. The atmosphere is lively & inviting. I highly recommend visiting Monk Café - you won't be disappointed!

Nice terrasse in summer, & warm atmosphere inside. Great for grabbing a bite or for a few drinks. Beers are okay, but they only serve microbrew from what I remember.
