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.
Always loved pigeon coffee but now that I've tried their food I can say I love everything about pigeon. The halloumi cheese shakshouka is very good very filling, & so is their tomato soup. It's not pictured but I also recommend their steak sandwich (cooked rare is just perfect !) for a light lunch.
Service was horrid. Over 2 hours to go in & get a coffee & a dessert. We sat for 1-1/2 hrs & apparently our server finished his shift & didn't tell anyone. Two desserts came finally & the 3rd took another 1/2 hr to show up. Then the bill came for $110!!! They made a boo-boo. The desserts were just ok. Not impressed at all.
Ethereal cafe in downtown montreal! Came from Ottawa & easily found parking underground. The latte & cappuccino were delicious. I got the spicy chicken burger - not really spicy but that's okay, the flavours were fresh & balanced. I loved the brioche bun & the salad portion was great. I didn't try the baked goods but they looked yummy!
They have an amazing DJ on Thursdays - highly recommended to go check it out. Manager Lee runs the restaurant very well while the service staff Lyndsey & Shaqued offer a professional & friendly service. Food is great too. I recommend the gigi pasta or the med bowl.

The food is pretty good, I had the French toast casserole with ice cream & it was like a 7/10 only cause the melted ice cream ruins the whole dish afterwards... I loved the coffee, pastries & the ambience there. The staff tho is amazing always 10/10 service 🤩🤩
I was impressed with the quality of service I found myself immersed in while having a coffee break. The staff especially Fox guided me through the restaurant checking in to make sure I was pleased with my food. It is usually hard to receive service in English while dining in Montreal however I did not run into this issue here. I would go again when I have availability :)

There was a delay in the kitchen today so we had to wait 20-30 minutes after ordering (i didn't mind), the server was nice & efficient when we had to order, what i did notice was that the food was not hot, it was almost a bit cold. my friends ordered the chicken sandwich & the chicken was kinda cold sadly. i ordered breakfast sandwich & it was mostly just avocado & spicy mayo, almost no egg so i wished they would've put more eggs. Coffee was ok. best part of the restaurant is the decoration.
i got a spicy chicken burger & the chicken was cold, maybe cuz the kitchen had a delay of 20 minutes, the portions were small & we waited 30-40 minutes just to eat our food in 10 minutes
I really liked the food here, the Shakshuka Halloumi was amazing, the lobster Benedict was fantastic, Salmon poached eggs was delicious. Service was good & the interior of the restaurant was good. They played a lot of Frank Ocean, which is dope because I love me some Frank Ocean. Photo of the Shakshuka Halloumi.
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!
