Reviews describe Pigeon Café & Bar as a stylish, plant-filled spot with a cozy vibe that many use for coffee, pastries, and casual brunch; the decor and atmosphere are frequently praised, and the service is often described as friendly, though experiences can vary with some visits noting slow or inconsistent service, especially at busy times; some guests consider the menu and prices a bit pricey for what is offered, while others find the food and drinks high quality and worth it; a few reports mention noise and ventilation or smells from the kitchen, but overall the place is seen as a good casual hangout with strong coffee and a welcoming ambience that makes people want to return.
I have eaten at Cafe Pigeon on McGill College many times, however, today was the day that I got sick. I usually order their Caesar Salad with grilled chicken & it's fresh. However, after eating the salad today I felt so nauseous & light headed. I'm sure if it was the chicken but please do better!
I had brunch here, & the outdoor seating area in July is incredible. The menu offers great options for those looking to eat healthily. The food tasted clean & fresh. I got a Mediterranean toast which was my favorite, super light, the beet hummus toast was well. Did not have coffee here's just an expresso so I can not judge that.

We asked what their recommendations are & were told their lox dishes are what they are known for, but also their Mediterranean toast is really good. & so we proceeded to order their recommendations, plus a mimosa & an iced espresso drink. & I'm so glad we did! The Mediterranean toast was an explosion of texture & flavours with their avocado spread, goat cheese, greens, chickpeas, radish & more! The smoked salmon toast with a poached egg was also delish, although the egg was a bit overcooked. The mimosa was made with freshly squeezed orange juice (at least I think it is). The interior is cute, very tropical with trees inside. I give Pigeon Cafe a thumbs up & it will be on rotation when in Montreal!
One of the best cafes in downtown has a great atmosphere, amazing food, & cute decor. I've visited this location multiple times, & every time, their food & desserts were fresh & super tasty. I love the coffee & drink selection as well. I've also been to other locations, &, hands down, they always deliver great service.
Mother's dat reservation booked the night before at 8pm. Our 1:15pm reservation was waiting for us when we arrived, greeted with a smile! Hostess was amazing & helped us with our order. Service was top notch & the food was fresh, hot & savory. The complementary fruit dish for mother's day was a nice & thoughtful touch. Coffee ☕️... well, let's just say it lived up to its name.
Went today to celebrate a friend's birthday & our graduation. The decor is adorable & unique, & the food was also very much to our taste. We took cold matcha lattes, caramel lattes, & a vanilla latte, which were all tasty, although the matcha latte could've had a stronger matcha taste. I ate the Spicy Chicken Burger, & shared the caramel & salt cheesecake with a friend, both were extremely good! I also tasted my friend's red velvet & key lemon pie, which tasted very fresh & yummy. Definitely will be going back.
The coffee & pastries are delicious. The waitress Charlotte answered all my questions regarding the menu & recommended the carrot cake & freshly squeezed orange juice which are a must. Will definitely be going back!

Big thanks to the manager Lee Orland for ensuring a seamless business breakfast for my Director General & a guest. My executive is a vegetarian & caffeine free, fortunately the variety on the menu for food & drink alternatives were plentiful, & most importantly delicious! Positive reviews on the avocado toast & freshly squeezed orange juice! Great service as well given an early reservation of 8am. Very modern space too, & great location, walking distance to our office. Would recommend!
