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.

Les plats & boissons sont vraiment bons, même si ce n'est pas donné. J'aurais noté 3 étoiles mais j'en enlève une de plus car vous affichez 18% de tips minimum: il faut pas abuser, on est pas dans un étoilé Michelin. Concernant les autres étoiles en moins: les serveurs ne sont pas les plus cordiaux. Impossible de rester travailler avec son laptop non plus: la musique est forte & on sent qu'on n'est pas les bienvenus pour ça: je peux comprendre mais à ce moment interdisez le complètement.

I'm revising this initially great review, because I just had some of that'cucumber salad' that shows up a lot on the menu. What I was served was essentially a raw onion salad. I can't believe their recipe would call for anything close to that. Also, one single toast with breakfast, really? There are lot of good things about this place but these those two things alone offset them unfortunately.

EDIT: & no way to put 15% tip (only 18% & up…). We need to do the actual math, lol. So yeah, that's another star.

I thought this place was going to be more of a coffee shop, but it ended up being a restaurant. However I don't think thats a bad thing. A coffee shop with restaurant service, that's how I would describe it. Océane, My waitress was impeccable, she was fast, super nice & she was always there when I needed her to be there, she has to have some sort of superpower to know when she's needed somewhere. Anyways 10/10 would definitely recommend. :)

My friends & I have done birthday parties here. Atmosphere is great, cozy, & not too loud & Pigeon (McGill) always accommodate for our big group parties (through email). The service is good, staff is nice. The food is a bit pricey I find & if I were you, I'd go here more for a coffee/chill hangout spot than for dinner. Overall, nice spot for hangouts!

We are a family of 4 visiting the city. We had here dinner & the food was amazing, atmosphere was gorgeous - the decor, the music & the dinnerware ! Great yummy dishes - we had the shakahuka - wow! So well made & is served with Challah bread. We also had the Steak sandwich, Mediterranean chicken & my family enjoyed it very much. The best dish was the Hummus & pita bread. They didn't stop eating. Prices are super reasonable. Will definitely come back when in the city & highly recommend for families & also for date nights.
