Overall, reviews of Pangea describe a stylish, lively setting with attractive decor and a welcoming vibe that suits girls nights, celebrations, and casual dinners alike. Guests frequently praise the food as flavorful and well presented, with standout items such as seafood and octopus, and cocktails that many find excellent, though several feel the prices are high for the portion sizes. Service is a major variable, ranging from exceptionally attentive and engaging staff who elevate the experience to periods of slow attention or understaffing that affect pacing. The atmosphere is often described as festive and upscale with good music and a warm lounge feel, though crowds and loud volumes can detract from the dining experience. Value is a common concern, yet many reviewers say they would return for the overall vibe and the quality of service when it shines.
Flair without substance. Went here for a company meeting & despite advanced notice & warning, they were completely unprepared. It took me 45 minutes for my "cocktail", which was Jamison & Coke.

I went to this place with a couple of friends for my birthday. The atmosphere was amazing, so was the DJ after diner! However, I have never waited that long in a restaurant for a few dishes. We arrived early (8pm) & maybe 40min after receiving the menus we got asked for our cocktails order. After receiving them, it took another moment before ordering food. It took A WHILE before our friends received their carpaccios (cold & quick meals to prepare). 30 minutes after they have received them, my boyfriend & I got our dishes (2 steaks), & I forgot to mention, we all ordered one dish each as we were not that hungry. But for our steaks to arrive, we had to talk to two waitresses & the manager how all gave us weird reasons for the wait. However, he steaks were really good & of quality. The carpaccios apparently were not that special & one of our friends had meat & fish mixed in hers. Finally, we asked for the bill & it never arrived so we had to go & get it. Too bad we maybe booked on the wrong night.
My husband & I visited Pangea twice during our few days in Montreal last week, & we absolutely LOVE the atmosphere & unique decor in every room of this place! Definitely one of our favorite spots we discovered in Montreal! One of the owners, Peter, was incredibly friendly & helpful & he even hooked us up with some complimentary hot out of the oven croissants to go with our coffee:) We came to the coffee shop side one morning (see pic with the cool cat on the wall) & didn't realize until Peter gave us a walk-through that the restaurant is on the other side of the same establishment. So cool! The octopus & tuna tartare I believe it was called, were both incredibly fresh & delicious & my cocktail was amazing as well! We definitely plan to return on a weekend sometime so we can dine in the supper club room if possible where the big tree is, it is seriously so cool you all have to check it out! They also have an amazing outdoor patio setup with great views! We definitely recommend this unique local business! A+++
Olives are a problem. Sheldon went beyond to make my friends birthday spécial, was knowledgable in recommandations. Great outdoor atmosphère, & various outdoor seating.
We came here on 4 pm to re-hydrate & replenish, so we didn't see this place at its peak time. But regardless we were still disappointed. Poor service, mediocre food (a bit of an embarrassment to Greek food honestly). I enjoyed the coffee.
The most exquisite restaurant I have ever been to in my life! The food was just INCREDIBLE (I had the Byblos Chicken Burger & IT WAS TO DIE FOR!!!) I will definitely come back the next time I come back to Montreal! Highly recommend this place!!!
Only giving a five star because of Sheldon. The restaurant is nice. Despite the long wait time, the waiter Sheldon was amazing, he has great people skills.
I booked a table for 10 guests & we waited 30 mins until we got seated. Service is slow overall but, our server Sheldon made it a much better experience!!! He was really sweet & accommodating. He really made sure we had a good time.
