Overall, reviews depict Pigeon Café & Bar as a warm plant filled spot that works for coffee breaks, casual brunch, and events, with a vibe built on chic decor greenery and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu earns praise for quality and variety, from well brewed coffee and pastries to shakshouka, hummus and pita, challah sandwiches, and Mediterranean bowls, with several dishes noted as particularly tasty though a few comments mention saltiness freshness or portion size. Service is repeatedly described as friendly attentive and efficient, though some visits report slower pacing, occasional mixups, or language gaps at certain locations.

Overall this location remains a popular reliable choice with strong energy and memorable hospitality.
J'ai passé un magnifique moment dans ce café. L'équipe est souriante Yaakov & la fille avec les cheveux courts, attentionnée & le service est rapide. L'ambiance cosy donne envie de s'attarder, & les boissons comme les pâtisseries sont délicieuses. Je suis très contente de mon expérience & je reviendrai avec plaisir !
My friends & I had an amazing time being served by Yaakov. He was so vibrant & funny which definitely kept us happy & laughing during our lil boozy brunch gossip time. So thank you to him for keeping the vibes good!!
J'ai eu la chance d'être servi par Ryan, il a su installer une excellente ambiance, présent sans jamais être intrusif. Le service était impeccable du début à la fin.
Quite overpriced when compared to quality.'Cafe' is misleading in their name. It's more of a breakfast & lunch restaurant.
We went for an Omelette (Tomato, Onion, Feta) & a Pigeon Salad with Falafel. Omelette was good but Feta wasn't evenly distributed. Salad accompanying the omelette was good. Pigeon salad was good but falafel was a huge let down. A bit hard & didn't taste fresh. For $6 that they charge for falafel alone, I would expect much much better.
Staff was nice but the service was way too slow. It's in downtown, so parking can always be a challenge.
Not trying it again.
Came here with a few girlfriends, & I'm honestly just so impressed. the dirty martini was so good & im so finicky about them. also the happy hour prices are incredibly cheap. the bartender was so kind, we loved her. im adding it to my rotation of bars!

I have been here many time & most times I come for take-out coffee. It is always excellent on my way to work & I highly recommend the Mocha. All I say is that it can get quite busy & a bit unorganized at the door so it's hard to work around finding a space to wait for my drink being made. Other than the small hiccup I really enjoy the togo treats & come as often as I can.
amazing cafe to visit, the matches are so well balanced & delicious & the manager I believe his name is Lee created such a welcoming experience for us!
I love Pigeon & the food is always great, however note that they have a new policy forbidding laptops during the weekend, so it's definitely not a great study spot for students during that time :
First time in Montreal & had an great experience at Pigeon! Staff was friendly, food was delicious & ambience was a vibe with the mural surroundings & awesome music playlist. Shout out to manager Lee for making us feel so welcome ☺? highly recommend!!!
