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.
This place is beautiful! We came in for some cocktails & were not disappointed. Gorgeous decor inside & delicious drinks. It did take a while for our drinks to be made, which is my only negative. We didn't try the food, so we will have to be back as the dishes coming out looked amazing!
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.

Cozy place with a welcoming atmosphere & excellent service. The coffee & pastries are high quality & beautifully presented. We tried the Matzo Ball Soup-great flavor, though it could benefit from a few smaller matzo balls instead of one very large one, allowing more room for the broth.
The only downside was the music being a bit too loud, which made conversation difficult at times. Still, the staff was patient & attentive throughout.
Beautiful spot, decor & vibe was great. Service abit slow. Waiter actually forgot about us & after about 45 minutes realized we didn't have any food & then entered it.
1.5 hours from start to finish.... not great at all unfortunately.
Food was good, toast was cold.
Maybe a off day for them, but I can't see us coming back.

Pigeon Café offers a wonderful dining experience. The creamy garlic & the garlic fingerlings are consistently fresh, well-prepared, & beautifully presented. The staff are courteous & efficient, creating a warm & welcoming atmosphere.
It's a great spot for both casual meals & business lunches. Highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates good food & excellent service.
It was a very beautiful day outdoors in Montreal, Canada, especially my little son sharing the place with me. The coffee was good & the breakfast was good. The shakshouka was not as we like it. The eggs were small with the amount of tomatoes served, but overall it was good.
beautiful spot for a nice brunch with family or friends. i mostly go for the lattes (they are impeccable, seriously) but their food is high quality, if a little pricey for a student budget, which i feel is relavent given the high student population. the ambience is really great & seating has never been a problem. their tomato soup is really great too fyi 👍👍

The café is really aesthetic, with beautiful decor & a cozy vibe. However, the service could be improved: we were asked to pay before we had even finished our drinks, & we felt a bit stared at, almost as if we didn't belong there. A shame, because the place itself is definitely worth a visit.
Such a beautiful place. Loved the trees & the decor. The service was swift & great. Coffee was excellent but the food portion could've been bigger I felt. Regardless, I would recommend coming here.
Fabulous place in the heart of downtown Montreal with great food, especially my favourite Mediterranean Chicken Bowl =)
Very nice staff & reasonable prices. Great decor inside & beautiful patio/terrasse outside during summer. Stop by for food or drinks if you're in downtown.
I wen to the pigeon to organize an event with the Lycee Francais Alumni. The decor of the place is cute, with a beautiful tree in the middle.
The service was great & the place is centrally located. I definitely recommend it!

Had a delicious brunch at Pigeon cafe!! We got the smoked salmon tower for 2 & the shoey's breakfast bagel, all very delicious & filling. It's not the cheapest but I do think it was worth the quality of the food.
The atmosphere of this cafe was also wonderful, especially on a cold day it was nice to be surrounded by plants & the beautiful decor.
The food & service was amazing, beautiful atmosphere & over all an amazing place to eat & talk, the barista kyra was very helpful & all the stuff is very friendly!!! 100/100
Beautiful space, amazing breakfast, best cappuccino I've ever had. The blueberry pancakes were fantastic. Just delicious & beautiful all at the same time.
We went for the name & stayed for the food! I had the bagel with lox & cream cheese, the lox was amazing & the proportions were perfect. I would only say that the bagel was a bit doughy. Other than that everyone enjoyed their food a lot & we finished the meal with some beautiful cheesecake.
Love this location! Everything was beautifully made & tasted to perfection. We ordered a few dishes to try everything. They came out fairly quick. Service was on point I would definitely come back again
Warm welcome, great food, & beautiful decor! This is my first time being here! The manager was super nice & helpful & he was making sure that everyone was happy with their order. Tiramisu is a must! Such a cute cafe!
My first time at Pigeon Café, the setting of the café is beautiful. Very aesthetic I must say! Customer service was not bad, though they took a while to come to our table. Food was 3/5 - The soup was bland. As for the grilled cheese, we were super disappointed how the cheese tasted like plastic. Our grilled cheese was done pretty fast as you can see they didn't put the bread together properly. Overall I wouldn't really go back however you shouldn't let my personal experience get in the way of trying their café locations.
