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.

Musique un peu trop forte à mon goût, service un peu lent.

The food is delightful but the loud club music was not conducive to catching-up with friends.

A new restaurant in Ville-Émard, garden style decoration. Home made bacons were delicious, potatoes were seasoned well, the plate is good size with reasonable price. We went there for brunch during the week, not in rush hours(half tables were empty). Services were good but the kitchen was slow so we waited longer than normal, I wonder if they are short of employees in the kitchen. Update: had lunch there I this week, services are much faster than before.

Je recommande vivement ce restaurant! La nourriture était délicieuse & le service était impeccable. L'ambiance était chaleureuse & conviviale, & le personnel était extrêmement sympathique & attentionné. Une adresse incontournable pour une journée ou une soirée entre amis ou en famille.

I had such a good experience at Cafe Monk. The ambiance, decor, & food were amazing. Special thanks to the service workers! William & Matt were just perfect. Also, best espresso martini I've ever had! Will be back for sure.

Enfin !! La triste rue Monk en avait besoin. Le café est excellent. Beaucoup de place pour s'asseoir & un bar 100% Québécois. Bravo!! Un an plus tard encore 5/5

Had the Ranchero for brunch & it was delicious. Can't wait to try some of the other meals. My only complaint is when the café is busy the acoustics are bad. Some sound absorbing acoustics panels would benefit the ambience.

I like my first experience, it is a lovely place with natural plants which give a cozy vibe.

Seems like a cool place but after sitting at the bar for 20 minutes, no one served me or asked to help me. Perhaps they are understaffed.
