Not a very extensive menu, especially not a lot of choices for kids. But what we ordered tasted good & fresh.
Service was slow even when the restaurant was not at full capacity.
Staff were more interested in chatting at the bar not to mention the foul language used by one them the food was ok but coffee terrible not what i expected
This spot is top-tier. The warm atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The main courses & the sides were all amazing. Service was professional & friendly throughout our visit. A really special place that I'll be telling everyone about for a long time to come.
Me & my husband had a wonderful time last night, the food was delicious! The barista working was amazing, she was such a sweet girl & we could tell that she was doing alot of work in the restaurant.
Mardi soir, j'ai dîné au Pigeon Café & ce fut une très belle expérience. L'ambiance était chaleureuse & détendue, parfaite pour passer une soirée agréable. La nourriture était délicieuse, bien présentée & pleine de saveurs, on sent que les ingrédients sont de qualité & que les plats sont préparés avec soin.
Un grand merci au barista Lucas, qui a préparé un café exceptionnel pour accompagner le repas. Son attention aux détails & sa passion pour le café se ressentent vraiment dans chaque tasse.
Je tiens aussi à souligner le service impeccable de Jacob, notre serveur. Il était attentif, sympathique & très professionnel tout au long de la soirée, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable.
En résumé, une excellente soirée au Pigeon Café que je recommande sans hésitation. J'y retournerai certainement !
Stopped by Pigeon Cafe on Monkland yesterday with a few of my friends & it was a really enjoyable vibe & place to be. The staff is amazing & Lucas & Jacob gave my friends & I really good service.

Nourriture très qualitative. Les plats peuvent paraître simples au premier abord, mais la combinaison des ingrédients est très relevée & savoureuse. Le pain challah des burgers est goûteux & moelleux, les frites gaufrées goûtent bien la patate, le poisson est tendre. Les pâtes peuvent être très salées, mais personnellement j'apprécie bien.
L'ambiance est plus chaleureuse & cosy que dans d'autres resto Pigeon, c'est donc un endroit de prédilection!
A friend & I enjoyed a delicious dinner recently at Pigeon Café & Bar on Monkland Ave. Our server Jacob was attentive, friendly & professional. Our dinner choices (penne pasta & a side salad for my friend) & hamburger with gruyère cheese, pickles & mushrooms with a side of waffle fries for me) were tasty & well prepared. We each enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner. Our shared dessert (carrot cheesecake with caramel sauce) was delicious & beautifully presented (featuring edible flowers on top of whipped cream). I also enjoyed a double decaf espresso at the end of the meal. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a tasty dinner out in Monkland Village.
I love going to pigeon to do work on my laptop or to grab a meal with a friend! The food, drinks, & vibes are always good & the service is always friendly! Shout out to Jacob, 5 star service!💫
