Review Summary

Pigeon Café & Bar is frequently praised for its beautiful, lush interior design and inviting atmosphere, making it a popular spot for brunch and casual gatherings. While many visitors highlight delicious menu items like the shakshuka, pancakes, and various sandwiches, experiences with food quality remain inconsistent, with some citing issues regarding freshness, seasoning, or portion sizes. Customer service is described as highly polarized; many patrons have enjoyed exceptional, friendly, and professional interactions with specific staff members, while others have reported instances of slow, inattentive, or even rude service. Additionally, some guests have expressed frustration over noise levels, specific policies like the weekend ban on laptops, and perceived lack of value regarding pricing and tipping structures.

We saw this place online when preparing for our Montréal trip & we were looking forward to it for our first day brunch. It did not disappoint! Very busy restaurant but we were still served quickly & everything was amazing. I also have to note that it is a fabulous menu. Something for everyone I had such a hard time choosing!

Very beautiful & vivid design.
The menu is minimal & I couldn't find anything special to say it is special for this place or something eye catching.
I ordered omelet but it was normal even with side dish salad.
My friend ordered shakshouka which had good taste.
Taste of cappuccino was not good & the cup wasn't cappuccino cup but the price was for a large cappuccino.

I looked at inside of the restaurant, there were some empty tables, but I felt the waiters/waiters were in rush to clean our table & give us bill. Brunch time is for meeting & chatting with others specifically on weekends, not to be rush. I checked the time & I found out that time isn't a rush hour for this place & today was rainy. I didn't understand the behavior of service, very strange.

We went for brunch around 12pm on a Saturday. Wait was 10-15 min for a table. We asked for either table or bar seats. Bar seats were available first & table wait increased by another 10 minutes. Service at the bar was a bit slow & it seemed they didn't have all the ingredients for cocktails as they had to send someone upstairs for a bottle needed. Took abt 15-20 minutes for drinks to arrive. Food was subpar. The French toast casserole on a skillet was burning hot & when syrup was poored, the syrup started boiling. However the staff did make us aware of the hot skillet so there was awareness made. Overall, pleasant experience - ambiance was nice.

The Shashuka is amazing & more than enough food for brunch! It can get pretty busy so reservation is recommended especially if more than 2 people.

My family of three went for Brunch on Easter Sunday. It was very busy & were glad that we had reservations. The host ended up being our server as well & sat us without a beverage menu. We had to get up & get our own. He must have forgotten about us because after 15 minutes he finally came over to ask us our orders. I watched our drinks sit at the counter for about 10 minutes before he brought them to us. Our food did come relatively quickly but the poached eggs were hard boiled & the pancakes were lukewarm as well as my daughter's hot chocolate. Overall, I was disappointed & would only recommend this location for the fake, dusty trees your camera phone won't capture & to only go during off times.

Très belle découverte au centre-ville de ce café-brunch à la décoration luxuriante (qui fait du bien en plein hiver)! Le service était vraiment remarquable, avec des personnes attentionnées & franchement souriantes, les plats savoureux, créatifs & très généreux en terme de portion.
