Les avis sur Pigeon Café reflètent une ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale, idéale pour le brunch ou le déjeuner, avec une terrasse et une décoration agréables. Le service est généralement apprécié pour sa rapidité et son professionnalisme, même si certaines expériences mentionnent des délais plus longs et des soucis de communication, notamment lorsqu'il parle anglais au détriment du client francophone. La nourriture et les boissons obtiennent des éloges pour des plats comme le shakshuka, les pancakes et le chicken schnitzel sandwich, même si le rapport qualité-prix est parfois remis en question et certaines portions sont décrites comme consistantes mais parfois un peu petites. L’endroit est unanimement salué pour son atmosphère et son cadre, qui incitent à revenir, tandis que des améliorations possibles concernent la constance du service et la gestion du bruit. Dans l’ensemble, Pigeon Café est perçu comme une adresse sympathique et fiable, offrant une expérience agréable avec un service attentif, mais avec des réserves sur le coût et la régularité.
It is a cool cafe with a nice vibe. The food is slightly overpriced but the atmophere is nice, people are nice & there is lots of space to work on my laptop.
I visited Pigeon Café (Monkland location) earlier this week, & unfortunately this was my second time seeing a rat there.
During my first visit, I informed my server about what I had seen. They responded quickly & said they would notify management immediately, & even offered a discounted meal, which I appreciated at the time.
However, on my second visit, I saw another rat. When I spoke to the same server, they told me that management was already aware of the issue but had not yet taken action.
Seeing a rodent once is already concerning, but seeing one again on a separate visit - especially after it was reported - raises serious concerns about cleanliness & food safety. I hope management addresses this issue promptly.

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.
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.
Première, & malheureusement la dernière fois que j'y vais. Le comportement du serveur manquait du respect ! On était 3 francophones, & à chaque fois qu'il venait à notre table continuait à parler en anglais, bien sûr après 10 min d'attente à chaque fois ! On est arrivé à 8:00 & on a pu passer notre commande à 8:45 alors que le café fêlé à 9h30!
Vraiment déçu !
Assurément, je recommanderais jamais ce café…

Had a great experience at Pigeon Cafe! Our waiter, Lucas, was amazing, super polite & welcoming. We also ordered drinks made by Molly, & they were excellent. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
Walking on Monkland January 1 & the only place open was pigeon. Just wanted a cafe, being very busy, I got service with a smile. NO CHARGE - HAPPY NEW YEAR. I just loved it.
Although I am very familiar with Monkland street scene, I only recently discovered this cafe. It is a little gem: a combination, coffee shop, brasserie, bar & lounge all in one. As a coffee shop where I also work some times it is perfect: nice ambiance not very crowded & reliable internet, & good coffee :) As a brasserie they have a solid selection & the food is quite good. As a bar I don't drink much, but as a lounge I really like to come here in the evening waiting for my son that takes lessons next door & enjoy a nice meal, some tea - the staff is very friendly, food is great - I can unwind & do some light work at the end of the day - I cant really ask for more.

Just love Pigeon cafe. Lucia, our waitress was just awesome. She was extremely pleasant & gave thoughtful & accurate advice in helping us choose our food. Definitely going to come back.
Great food, atmosphere & service at Pigeon Café on Monkland! Thank you, Lucas! Yummy delicious eats, lots of variety, fun ambiance, courteous staff who accommodated a couple in wheelchairs & were very understanding when I brought in a stroller. The grilled veg & haloumi sandwich on sourdough bread was Deelish & the waffle fries made me craving for more. Yum!
A cafe on restaurant row on Monkland Avenue in Montreal. Pleasant atmosphere, friendly but harried staff. We found the food to be just ok. Dog friendly.

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.
Great experience at Pigeon Cafe. Juan Camilo was our waiter & was very kind & attentive. I had the Sabich Benedict & it was very yummy. Highly recommend!
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. ⭐?⭐?
