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.

Food was super mediocre for the price. The only good thing was the decor.

We came here for drinks & a mid day snack on a Saturday afternoon. Super cute ambiance & decor. Espresso martini was delicious! The Mediterranean dips were divine - only feedback we had was to include more pita bread since the proportion felt a little off compared to how much dips there was. But we were able to get extra servings afterwards which was appreciated!

I was hoping my experience would be different from what other people were saying, but it wasn't.
Food is good, decor is nice; but the service takes forever. All steps of it, from being greeted & getting seated, to getting your drink, ordering food, & getting it.
It took fifty minutes from finally getting a seat (we had a reservation & could see empty tables) to getting our drinks. The place has that reputation & it's well-deserved. I won't go back.

Have been here for breakfast on a weekday. Beautiful decor, interesting breakfast options however service was slow as apparently they only had one server early in the morning. This can be unfavorable if you are on a tight schedule. However staff was polite & helpful. Music was a bit too loud for a breakfast place. Food was great, portion was good.

Nous sommes venus à deux pour le déjeuner.
Ils mentionnent, à la blague, avoir le pire café au monde, mais c'est vraiment ce qu'on a expérimenté. Le café filtre était en fait un americano trop allongé avec goût de brûlé, très décevant. Nous n'avons tous les deux pas fini notre café ce qui ne nous arrive jamais d'habitude!
Le breakfast bagel était correct sans plus. Le salami de boeuf ressemble à de la baloney. Petite portion.
Le shakshuka labneh & halloumi manquait de goût. Aucune épice, ca goûtait la tomate. Une seule tranche de halloumi dedans. Le pain qui accompagnait n'était clairement pas frais.
Ambience bonne & beau décor, mais service lent. On a du se lever pour aller payer au comptoir, & ils ne sont jamais venus desservir nos assiettes.

Great decor, friendly service. Coffee was just ok. My pancakes weren't great, & one was burnt. She thought her eggs were good, salad was fresh. There were areas that definitely needed dusting. Decent spot but wouldn't go out of my way.

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!

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.
