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.

Great place, I had a breakfast- lovely sandwich.

Tried this restaurant on a Sunday & it was pretty busy. The service was good, but our waiter didn't have a full understanding of the menu, especially when it came to vegan options.

We ordered the fattoush salad, the vegan version of the avocado toast, a smoked meat sandwich, fingerling potatoes on the side, & two freshly pressed orange & grapefruit drinks. The drinks were refreshing & the food was good. The fattoush was tasty, but not as good as the ones you'd get in an Arabic restaurant.

The place looks nice almost like a jungle inside. I would go back.

Good service, average food, & overly priced with minimum tipping at 18% instead of the average 15% in Montreal.

very calm cafe & lots of places to sit! i have been to the onein the west island that one has much more seating.

i ordered the lemonade (amazing! & cold) & the spinach dip. this one was a little more bitter than i remember & there was a lot more dip than pita breads. otherwise, good!

very busy, difficult to speak to the workers, somewhat responsive.

Je viens au café souvent & je trouve que ces derniers temps le service est assez lent. Nous sommes venus à 16h30 pour commander des cafés & viennoiseries nous avons attendu quasiment une demi-heure pour être servis pour 3 cafés & 3 viennoiseries/biscuits…
De plus ça fait plusieurs fois en hiver que je remarque que mes vêtements sentent l'odeur de la bouffe en sortant & qui restent plusieurs jours sur mon manteau d'hiver… peut-être revoir le système d'aération de la cuisine ?

Je vais régulièrement dans cette place, notamment l'été pour la terrasse vraiment sympa.
Le café, les pâtisseries sont super bons.
J'ai testé quelques entrées en mode apéro, très bien.

Alors je tiens à souligner que d'un jour à l'autre le service change complètement. L'été passé, les serveurs étaient fins.

Mais là depuis cet hiver, c'est une cata. Nous sommes ignorés pendant des heures, tout est un enfer pour avoir l'attention de la serveuse & même sans rush ! Pour commander, pour avoir la commande & même pour payer & vraiment pas aimable. Ce problème je l'ai constaté sur plusieurs serveurs/serveuses. Je ne retesterai pas avant un moment. Bien dommage.

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.

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.
