Overall, Pigeon Café & Bar comes across as a warm, inviting spot with a bright plant-filled interior and a strong brunch and lunch lineup, where the service is repeatedly praised for being friendly and attentive and the coffee and food, including pancakes, shakshuka, bowls and salads, and waffle fries, are generally well received; some visits are challenged by slow or inconsistent service, occasional language barriers, and prices that some feel are high for the portions, while the atmosphere and vibe encourage guests to return.
Last Friday I went to this cafe bar to have my dinner. Worst service ever. It is asked to wait to be seated... no waiter at all in the area. A guy from the bar saw us & I didn't give importance since he calmly went to 2 more tables (paid the bill). I was expecting someone else to come but after he finished he came to sit us. We were there standing for about 10 min. We got the menu & 10 min after another couple came & the same guy came immediately to sit them. I noticed there was a lady waiter who was not doing anything in the area other than chit chat with the guy from the bar & kitchen. 10 min passed.& we were ready to order but none came over... after another 10 min the same guy came & instead of check what we want ... he went to helped the couple who came after us & order for them. I had the impression that this guy's simply didn't want to give us the service... I left the place. Beautiful atmosphere, decoration & grat location... but if you go... depending in how they see you they serve you.
For me it was the worst experience ever.... watch out!!!
Le Pigeon Café & Bar, un endroit génial ! L'atmosphère est très chaleureuse & confortable, c'est définitivement un endroit idéal pour passer du temps avec des amis. Le menu est assez varié & il est possible de trouver quelque chose qui plaira à tous les goûts. Les baristas sont très expérimentés. En particulier, leurs cafés & cocktails sont excellents.
Mauvais service. Les serveurs te parle qu'en anglais malgré que tu leur parle français. Plusieurs erreurs dans notre commande & l'attente était interminable. Nourriture correcte mais pas exceptionnelle par rapport au prix $$ & qualité du service.
Love this places, you should try pancakes 🥞 they are delicious & Sahily give me a great service, she help me with my decision & was so friendly 💗 I'll come back for sure
Amazing service received by Sahily. She was super kind, very professional & helped me chose my lunch option, which was super good. I got the pigeon salad & a chai latte with macadamia milk & I'd definitely recommend both options! I also would recommend the waffle fries!! The ambience was nice, & no wait was needed to get our table.
I'd definitely recommend passing by to study or even just to have a good lunch/dinner!

Amazing services, food was delicious but most of all you can't even leaving without being blessed by meeting Sahily she's just a ray of sunshine. We loved her & coming back just to see her again.
Je tiens à souligner que l'expérience a été merveilleuse, de l'accueil chaleureux à l'ambiance magnifique du restaurant. Je dois absolument mentionner le service exceptionnel de Sahily ; elle est extraordinaire, très gentille & attentionnée. Le service mérite amplement la note de 10/10 😍❤?
