Overall, reviews depict Pigeon Café & Bar as a warm plant filled spot that works for coffee breaks, casual brunch, and events, with a vibe built on chic decor greenery and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu earns praise for quality and variety, from well brewed coffee and pastries to shakshouka, hummus and pita, challah sandwiches, and Mediterranean bowls, with several dishes noted as particularly tasty though a few comments mention saltiness freshness or portion size. Service is repeatedly described as friendly attentive and efficient, though some visits report slower pacing, occasional mixups, or language gaps at certain locations. The ambience and seating are frequently cited as strengths, along with the ability to accommodate groups and meetings, while price and occasional noise or ventilation concerns come up in a minority of reviews. Overall this location remains a popular reliable choice with strong energy and memorable hospitality.
I recently visited Pigeon Café & Bar twice - once for a relaxing coffee break & later for an event - & both experiences were absolutely fantastic.
On my first visit, I stopped by for coffee & was genuinely impressed. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, the coffee was perfectly brewed, & it was such a comfortable spot to unwind. You can tell they really care about quality & creating a great experience for their customers.
I later returned for an event, & it truly exceeded expectations. The space was beautifully set up, well organized, & ran smoothly from start to finish. What stood out the most across both visits was the team - the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, & professional. They made everyone feel welcome & ensured everything was handled seamlessly.
Whether you're looking for a great coffee, a relaxed catch-up spot, or a venue for your next event, I highly recommend Pigeon Café & Bar.
We went here a couple of days ago. We were a group of 5. There was no wait time despite the weekend. But after we sat down it took a while for someone to take our order & bring the food. Probably 30 minutes. The food was good but we had to ask for utentils & napkins. Condiments as well. & each took a few minutes. The food was good & tasty. Eggs were well prepared. The juices were the best. fresh & delicious.
Le service est systématiquement lent & les plats sont trop chers pour ce qu'ils sont, mais l'ambiance est agréable, les lieux très bien décorés, & le personnel reste sympathique.
Yesterday, we went to your cafe to have our breakfast (around 12:00pm). We didn't have a reservation. We were asked to wait for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the server told us that there was no table available for 3 people & that they wouldn't be able to seat us. Also, about half of the tables were empty. However, we didn't have a reservation. If you only accept customers who have reservations (if this is your procedure & we were not seated due to that policy), then I have nothing to say. But, if the reason is something else, I believe we were treated disrespectfully.
the atmosphere is super nice at pigeon, i loved all the greenery & lights & the whole vibe was just great.
the richard lewis sandwich is so stacked with so much meat, it is totally a carnivores dream ! some bits of meat were a bit chewier & tough to bite off, so it was kind of hard & messy to eat, but it was yummy! the cheese melted on top also had really nice flavour too, that was super good. i really liked the challah bread, which was soft & toasted & made a bit soggy but the copious amounts of mustard. the mustard was a good balance to all the meat, & i liked how it wasn't too strong or sharp or pungent.
Went with my wife on Valentine's Day & was happy to see no special menu or undesired fixed menu. The place wasn't too crowded so was perfect for us. The service was great nothing exceptional but was nothing bad to say. Friendly & welcoming. The place itself has nice with nude tones & 2 fake trees inside that look great with little lights on it. Plants & mirrors inside. The food was delicious & came quickly enough. Decent price for the food, decor & service.

First time going & i went for breakfast. I ordered the salmon&avo toast: expect it to be bigger but it was very tasty. Tuna melt was very good too! Iced vanilla latte was yummy too
It was quite early so it was pretty quiet (10 am) & calm atmosphere. Not sure how loud it usually gets
We waited about 10 minutes to be seated . The waiter just threw the menu on the table. There was no place for coats. The food wasn't particularly tasty. I wouldn't recommend it
The atmosphere & décor were nice, & the staff were friendly. However, the food was average. The steak sandwich was salty, & the Mediterranean chicken bowl didn't seem very fresh.
Les plats & boissons sont vraiment bons, même si ce n'est pas donné. J'aurais noté 3 étoiles mais j'en enlève une de plus car vous affichez 18% de tips minimum: il faut pas abuser, on est pas dans un étoilé Michelin. Concernant les autres étoiles en moins: les serveurs ne sont pas les plus cordiaux. Impossible de rester travailler avec son laptop non plus: la musique est forte & on sent qu'on n'est pas les bienvenus pour ça: je peux comprendre mais à ce moment interdisez le complètement.
