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.

(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.

Plus de papier pour essayer les mains dans la toilette, bouteille d'eau sur la table ultra collante, saumon confit qui ressemblait à un saumon congelé acheté chez Costco avec du fenouil bcp trop huilé. Le service était quand même ok.

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.

Most chill people have met. The food was great. My highlight was the thick juicy bacon that comes with the eggs & potatoes. The potatoes are well seasoned too. Would recommend.

Very nice café with good ambience for brunch & fresh products (specially the mushrooms since they have a partnetship with a local producer that you can even buy to take home) Some plates mexican inspired just in case you want to get out of traditional brunch menus. Very polite service & price was decent. Recommended will definitely come back for dinner ( some days they have live music)

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!

Une oasis au coeur de Ville-Émard sur le boulevard Monk. Tous les plats étaient EXCELLENTS. Je donne la note de 6 sur 5. 😉 Assiette de perchaude, salade césar avec poitrine de poulet, frites maison, chou-fleur grillés.

Our favourite Cafe! Varied brunch menu, great coffee & friendly service. We brought our dog on the terrasse, & there is a park just across the road. Electric car charging right outside with high capacity chargers a short walk away.

Came here for dinner when I was in town w/ a friend for the Montreal f1 weekend. The staff were great & greeted us as soon as we went in. Our waitress was very sweet & charming. The food was exceptional. I got the salmon pasta & it was amazing, & a healthy quantity of food. Beer & food was priced well. Atmosphere was great. Cool, subtle, with good music. Bonus was that my friend & I got to see a firefly (that was glowing) in the restaurant. 1st time ever seeing that & it was awesome. 10/10 place. Would go again next time i'm in town.
