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.

I ordered a salad which is as very good. My mother ordered a grilled cheese with onions & tomato. The waitress came over to clarify that the onion & tomato were to be inside the sandwich & my mother said yes. When the sandwich arrived the onion & tomato were on the side. When we alerted the waitress she removed the sandwich & promptly brought it back in a huff with the tomato & onion stuffed inside. Totally unacceptable & rude. We will not be returning.

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 🙌🏽
Had a great lunch at Pigeon cafe on Monkland! The schnitzel sandwich was delicious. Our waiter Yaakov made our dining experience even better! Great service & very friendly! I will definitely come back.
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!
I loved the layout of the restaurant & the kind & positive atmosphere. I recommend grabbing a seat outside if it's a sunny day, & I recommend the cheap but delicious breakfast sandwich. I also had such a great server, Juan Camilo, he's the best!
