Dans l'ensemble, les avis décrivent Pigeon Café & Bar comme un endroit élégant, cosy et polyvalent, avec une ambiance animée appréciée pour le brunch, le café et les repas décontractés, proposant une carte d'inspiration méditerranéenne et moyen-orientale avec des plats comme shakshuka, pancakes, pita falafel et bols; la nourriture est fréquemment saluée pour son goût et sa constance, et le café ainsi que les boissons sont souvent mis en avant comme excellents, tandis que le personnel est globalement sympathique et attentif; certaines expériences notent une ambiance très animée et bruyante qui peut rendre les conversations difficiles, et quelques visites rapportent des retards, des erreurs de commande ou une constance du service; quelques commentaires évoquent le rapport qualité-prix ou la taille des portions; la propreté a été remise en question dans des cas isolés; dans l'ensemble, l'ambiance, la décoration et le service fiable en font un endroit prisé pour le brunch, le travail ou les sorties entre amis, et beaucoup de clients envisagent d'y revenir.
I mostly go for breakfast. I'm a regular, I go at least ten times a year. However I discovered that the pancakes dish has been reduced to two, from three, while the price has been kept the same. Seriously, removing a pancake? Not happy about this change at all, feels like short changing the customers. Took out two stars as a result.
One of the best spots on Monkland for a night out. The terrace is beautiful & the staff is always nice!! Special thank you to Ava who took care of us yesterday.
Not the best Pigeon branch I have tried. They ran out of grilled chicken & mentioned it would have been a 25-30 mins wait, which was excessive. We've settled for the chicken schnitzel instead.
Service… not much to say about it. When we came in, the waitress did not take the time to acknowledge us & was speaking to her colleague about non-work-related stuff. No utensils were given (no staff realized & we had to ask).
When we first walked in the hostess/'manager' walked by us twice before someone else had to seat us. The food took a little longer than our waiter had told us to expect. The food was prepared nicely & the other waiters were patient when listening to our concerns & kind enough to apologize for the hostess's attitude.
Overall a very middle of the pack restaurant experience.

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. ⭐?⭐?
