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.
Mila offre un service exceptionnel ! Professionnelle, attentive & toujours souriante, elle rend chaque expérience agréable & mémorable, tout comme sa délicieuse limonade maison qui vient parfaitement compléter le tout.
Merci Mila
I've been there with my friend, & everything was amazing-the food, the atmosphere, & especially the service. We were served by Giuliano, who made our experience even better. He was professional & provided us with excellent recommendations. I will definitely be back!
Super nice vibes enjoyed the food but especially the latte I had that
Sofia made. The art was really cute so I went to give her compliments on it. She was super kind!!
Stopped by for a quick brunch before heading back to uni, & I was pleasantly surprised by the food. My friend & I shared the croissant sandwich & the eggs Benedict. The croissant was phenomenal-crispy, buttery, & filled with perfectly balanced ingredients. Special mention to the salami, which was incredibly flavorful. The eggs Benedict were spot-on, cooked to perfection, though I found it a bit disappointing that they were served on such a large plate without a side (a small salad would have made the presentation feel less empty).
The iced lattes also hit the spot-I'm a big fan of their maple latte & usually grab one to go. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this café if you're near McGill & looking for a quick, satisfying bite!

The food was delicious & service was good. I had the merguez shakshuka at the recommendation of the server & it was fantastic, just spicy enough, the pine nuts & pomegranate were fresh & had a nice crunch, the tahini was very flavorful, the egg yolks were moderately runny which is perfect for shakshuka, & the stewed tomatoes were fresh & bright tasting. Overall the ingredients were very good quality & preparation was very good. 8/10 I also had an Americano, which was decent, about 7/10, although it had a slight burnt taste. Contra other reviews, service was very good for my Monday lunch. A hostess noticed me with 10 seconds, walked over, & seated me. She seemed busy, so after I put my menu down to show I was ready, I made eye contact with the bartender/barista & he jumped in to take my food & drink order. Every server was friendly & helpful. The food was just the right portion & the price was what I expect for the very central & busy location & chic, vibey interior. I am a pretty tough reviewer, but I think this place deserves a solid 4.1, 4.2.
A Hidden Gem in Downtown Montreal! Pigeon Café on McGill College is a fantastic spot in the heart of downtown. With its stylish decor, friendly staff, & diverse menu, it's a place worth checking out. I've visited twice-once when it had just opened, enjoying its lovely summer terrace, & again on January 26th 2025, when I tried a delicious slice of Antoine's apple pie. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend stopping by & discovering it for yourself!
Came here for a coffee & something light, Ted & JJ were amazing staff since it was pretty quiet they kept me company with great convos & amazing service
