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.
J'ai mangé les pancakes & ils étaient franchement super bon! Tellement de beurre, ça j'ai adoré. Ils ont accepté de nous faire le menu brunch alors que l'heure était déjà passé. Le seul b mol selon moi, c'était la musique un peu forte & qui ne se mariait pas très bien avec l'ambiance du restaurant. Overall je recommande

Had the merguez shakshuka with poached eggs, roasted red peppers, tahini, mint, pomegranate seeds, crushed tomatoes & pine nuts. The dish was delicious with authentic, flavourful ingredients.
We were two people & the place was quite busy. They don't take reservations, so we waited about 30 minutes. I'm personally not a big fan of waiting & prefer places where you can make a reservation.
That said, the restaurant is very pretty, the food was yummy , & the coffee was excellent.
Was there for brunch when I flew into town from Miami absolutely a fantastic place servers were amazing & polite & chicken schnitzel sandwich was amazing will be back once I am back in town
The service from Juan Camilo at Pigeon was top tier. Super friendly, attentive to every detail, & had such a good vibe that made the whole brunch experience even better. He walked us through the menu with a smile, gave us amazing recommendations, & checked in at just the right moments.
You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, & it shows. If you're heading to Pigeon, I hope you get seated with him 🙌🏽
First I just want to say that the workers were so nice & they took their time to make one of the best pancakes I've ever had. Juan Camilo was our waiter & his service was amazing. The food was incredible & it was beautiful with nice refreshments on the side. I totally recommend you come here if you are looking for a nice brunch!
This place is so charming & the food is amazing. It's been my go to brunch place for a year now. The portions are good & the food is exquisite. My only complaint is they removed the French toast casserole & now my heart is broken.
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.

Really loved this cafe, everything was yummy & the prices were affordable compared to a lot of other brunch spots in Montreal. My party of 5 & I just happened to get a table when we walked in but a line to be seated formed as we waited for our food.
Such a nice place to brunch with friends. It's really beautiful inside. Staff is always very friendly & kind & the food for brunch especially is really good
Loved the vibes at this place !! The food was good !! Only they take too long to serve you ! The place gets really crowded over the weekend brunch tho !! We waited a good 20 mins to be seated .
