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.
This is a cute little coffee shop in the nook of downtown. Coffee is pretty decent but the to go lids suck! I had the smoke salmon lox box. Very tasty, my wife had the med toast. Also tasty. Great service, fun vibe. Would come again.

Amazing service, super cosy atmosphere & exciting dishes 🔥 I love this place, perfect for a brunch especially with the terrasse in the summer. The shakshuka is outstanding, but my personal favorite menu item is the salmon tower (bagels with cream cheese, salmon & lots of toppings) Love their lattes & ice coffee. Always a good time! Go enjoy "the worst coffee in the world" as it says on the window 😂 You won't be mad for the false advertising!
Had brunch. Eggs were perfectly done. Ordered gluten free bread & it was great. Bf had a bagel sandwich that was delicious we shared oatmeal for a sweet "dessert" & it was yummy! Servers were all lovely. Filtered coffee was very good. Patio atmosphere was relaxing. Will definitely eat here again!
This place is great for breakfast/brunch or an afternoon cocktail. The atmosphere is soo cute & bright. The food is delicious & the drinks feel very fancy. I had a great meal here
Shakshuka & french toast casserole, that's it. Amazing, & will go back for those & others! Great food with good portion, great service, cute decor, loved everything.
Recently made a reservation for 50 people at Pigeon for my run club!! The manager was super nice & accommodating, & the overall vibe was great! They prepped a space for us to sit & mingle. They also had water ready for us after the run! Overall great experience, will definitely be back!

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!
This is my go-to place wether it's after work, for brunch or to have some drinks, it's so good! The service is amazing, Tennessy in particular, & the bartenders make the best drinks & are super nice, especially Lindsey & Alix :) I usually order the pigeon salad/ Penne Alla Gigi & nutella cookie for a snack, but honestly everything is amazing. I would most definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to have a good time, this place is a must!!

I recently visited Pigeon Cafe & had an exceptional experience. The food was bursting with flavor & cooked to perfection. Our waitress was kind & attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The manager also checked in to make sure we were satisfied, adding a personal touch to our meal. Delicious food, great service - highly recommended!
The coffee was good, & the food was pretty tasty. Sadly I think they are under-staffed - it took a while for them to get around to us, & even longer to bring the check; we never got any water refills either. I think the place gets a little too busy round midday.
Repas, desserts & boissons très bonnes, on trouve même du cidre ! Plutôt anglophones mais comprennent le français. Bel endroit, j'y reviendrai pour les pâtisseries & les breuvages !

Quelle déception! Les déjeuners était ceux d'un mauvais fast-food, les oeufs pochés étaient durs, 3 morceaux de pain, avec de la confiture en boîte & une cuillère de salade 16$ pour ça c'est vraiment exagéré. Même combat pour l'assiette de pancakes deux petite crêpes pas assez de sirop (du vol à ce stade-ci). L'extra fruit frais (8.95$) avec des fraises qui était en train de s'abîmer. La serveuse était rapide & gentille. La musique était un peu trop forte à mon goût. La décoration est jolie, l'emplacement est pratique, la terrasse est jolie.
We went for the name & stayed for the food! I had the bagel with lox & cream cheese, the lox was amazing & the proportions were perfect. I would only say that the bagel was a bit doughy. Other than that everyone enjoyed their food a lot & we finished the meal with some beautiful cheesecake.
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.
I've been to the Pointe Claire Pigeon Café twice & absolutely loved it both times, so I was surprised & quite disappointed by the lack of consistency with this location! The meals were OK but definitely not nearly the same quality as the other one & were made quite differently. The menu organization & even some of the items were vastly different. Very strange that a franchise has such a difference between locations! If you're looking for a quick brunch/coffee then it's fine, but definitely not a great quality brunch spot.
