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. The ambience and seating are frequently cited as strengths, along with the ability to accommodate groups and meetings, while price and occasional noise or ventilation concerns come up in a minority of reviews. Overall this location remains a popular reliable choice with strong energy and memorable hospitality.
The food was average, but the service was truly disappointing. The main reason I won't be coming back is the behavior of the one lady working there her attitude was unprofessional & dismissive, which completely ruined the experience.

This place is so nice honestly! The vibes are immaculate & the staff super sweet. The food is amazingg 10/10! I definitely recommend you guys to come & enjoy Pigeon!
Correct mais un peu cher. Le décor est réussi. Une serveuse n'a pas été capable de nous servir en français, malgré sembler me comprendre à chaque fois que je lui répondais en français. Les autres qui nous ont aidés n'ont pas eu ce problème au moins.
Great Mediterranean breakfast. We had the Shakshuka & the Sabich. The Humus was great & the juice are freshly squeezed. there is an indoor & outdoor space & it's great for sunny days
Je travaille dans le même bâtiment que le Café Pigeon & j'aime bien m'y arrêter à l'occasion pour une soupe ou un petit dessert. La soupe aux tomates est délicieuse.
Cependant, c'est la deuxième fois qu'une jeune employée me répond uniquement en anglais, malgré le fait que je m'adresse à elle en français. Elle me force à changer de langue, prétendant ne pas comprendre le français.
Je trouve cela inacceptable, surtout à Montréal, où le service en français devrait être la norme. Je suis moi-même bilingue, donc ce n'est pas un problème personnel de compréhension, mais bien un principe de respect linguistique.
C'est dommage, car j'aimais l'endroit, mais ce genre d'expérience me donne envie d'aller ailleurs.
I truly, honestly & extremely angry about the service they provided. I just had a 19CAD sandwich, I don't know where does the attitude come from? Like did I do anything that extremely wrong & unacceptable if I came to this restaurant? That was the first time ever I gave no tips for a service. If you know yourself have provided a bad service, how could you have the confidence to ask for the tips? The unprofessional service really left me a strong impression of this eating place.
Such a lovely café with great ambiance! Absolutely loved the food, the vibe, & the warm, friendly service. Perfect spot to relax & enjoy a chill meal or coffee. Will definitely be back!
We were looking forward to visit this place but unfortunately our experience was deceiving. Service wasn't too good & the meals were not as seen on the pictures
