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
The waitress gave us very bad service. He never brought milk for the coffee. He didn't refill the coffee. He didn't pick up the dishes after we were done. He was not kind not a single smile.
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.
Loved the food & the decor. The service was excellent too. There was a bit of a line when we showed up but we were sat within minutes. Lucas, the waiter, was super nice too & Sophie's coffees were excellent!
I've been here a handful of times & always enjoy my experience. The food is great, the coffee is excellent, & Lucia couldn't have been any sweeter & kinder with us on our most recent visit.
I've been to Pigeon several times, & this is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a review. We finally had a server who genuinely cared about our entire experience. We were at table 30 at 2 pm today. Her name was not on the receipt, but we want her to know that she is a big part of why we will be coming back. To be honest, this visit was going to be our last try.
She made excellent suggestions, & we were very pleased with everything we ate. It was also the first time I did not feel rushed. She checked on us at exactly the right moments without overdoing it. It was perfect.
If I could suggest anything, it would be to find a way to soften the noise level because it becomes quite loud. I would also recommend removing the dried flowers from the tables. They look a little dusty, although they are still better than the wilted ones we saw on previous visits. On a positive note, the coffee station looked much cleaner & far more organized, which was great to see.
Overall, the improvement is impressive. Our server truly elevated the experience & should be the one teaching others. We will be coming back.
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.
Discovered this vibrant place during our recent short trip to Montreal & our craving for some good European breakfast & man this thing blew our expectations!!! Starting from the service & courtesy, really top notch. We were with 3 kids & we felt welcomed.
The ambiance & decor are nice. Really adds a positive vibe to this place. We decided to go with their shakshuka, pancakes, & croissants along side their coffees. Nothing disappointed us; infact tasted very good. Not bad on the pocket as well. 10/10.
Great place to go on a date. Great vibe to the place. I had a cortado & it was really good. Not the best place for croissants but they have plenty of options for coffee & drinks. The interiors of the place are stunning. Would definitely recommend.
