We went to Pigeon Café on Monkland this afternoon for a late day breakfast. Called ahead to make sure they serve breakfast all day & that we weren't ordering breakfast items at a time they dont normally serve it. Numerous breakfast items were 100% on the lunch menu. We were VERY disappointed. I ordered 2 eggs over-easy with grilled salami, breakfast potatoes, & white toast. The eggs were fried hard & crispy, the grilled salami was paper thin, & had obviously been sitting around for quite a while. It was dry & inedible. The deep friend potatoes had been left-over from lunch, dry, dehydrated, & cold, finally the toast was unbuttered. My fiancee ordered the Avocado toast, the Avocado was not ripe & hard to cut & eat.
The restaurant was not busy at all, only 3 other tables & 3 or 4 wait staff. This is when you should be at your best bcuz you don't have an excuse like'we were busy'. If you can't excel when it's slow & you're not busy, then either you're just bad or you don't care. As a (now), retired Master Chef, I would NEVER serve food like this at any time, let alone when the restaurant is almost empty & I have more than enough time to get it right. I hate giving bad reviews as it can really affect a business, but when it's this bad & there is no reason for it, it has to be said.. in saying that, I also believe owners/managers need to know whats going on. They can't fix something if they don't know its broken. Based on todays visit, I do not recommend Pigeon Café on Monkland. ⭐?⭐?View more
The pigs in a blanket & their version of chick-fil-a waffle fries are a 10/10. The rest lacks taste & some dishes do not taste great at all. The breakfast sandwich is decent, but overpriced as it is an easy dish to make phenomenal with very little ingredients. The Shakshouka tastes like dish water & I unfortunately do not want to go try other dishes, as the service was lacking both times.
The first time it was getting busy & so we gave the server the benefit of the doubt, but I came a second time with someone else & could not for the life of me get proper service or the bill for that matter. & no information as to how it worked once we were finished. Lack of communication.
I wanted this to be a cool brunch place since Hopkins closed a while back on monkland, but this is far from a replacement.View more
I was there with a friend yesterday. The bagel was not toasted. We ordered poached eggs, taste mostly like vinager & not cooked properly. That was the last time we went there. Compare to what we had, price was too high. We used to go there all the time when Bagel Monkland was there. But now, unfortunately, it is not the same at all & not worth it.View more
The only reason I go there is the location in Monkland for a coffee, music is loud, food has no flavor whatsoever.View more
I am living in town, near the place bht It was the 1st time visting it. Impressed by the food, the vibe & the quality of service. The waitresse was nice shes was respectful. best place on Monkland. See you next time soon.View more
Food is good, service is awful & indifferent & the noise level is deafening. On the two occasions I have frequented Pigeon Cafe on Monkland, it took more than ten minutes to be seated - even though there were multiple empty seats & tables & between three & six service staff at the bar, plus a line of people waiting to be seated. Once seated, service is super slow. It's like the staff just don't give a damn, they seem to be more interested in talking to each other. The saving grace? The food is good. But at the price & the cost of a less than great dining experience, I won't be going back any time soon, or recommending it to others.View more
Food is great but service depends on the location, the Monkland one has bad service. The waiting was so long to order & to get a simple order. We would at least appreciated if someone came & checked from tome to time.View more
Nice atmosphere & great patio on monkland. Service is slow & portion size is also on the small side. Food is just average. They have some vegetarian options . A little pricey but nice option, especially the patio.View more
