Les avis décrivent Pigeon Café & Bar comme un endroit élégant, végétal et cosy, idéal pour le café, les pâtisseries et un brunch décontracté; l'ambiance est souvent louée pour sa chaleur et son accueil, et le personnel est perçu comme sympathique, mais les expériences varient selon les visites avec des services parfois lents ou inégaux en période d'affluence; certains estiment que la carte et les prix sont un peu élevés pour ce qui est proposé, tandis que d'autres trouvent que les boissons et la nourriture sont de bonne qualité et valent le coup; quelques commentaires évoquent le bruit, la ventilation ou des odeurs de friture, mais globalement l'endroit est considéré comme un bon lieu pour se détendre et se retrouver entre amis ou en famille, avec une belle décoration et une ambiance qui donnent envie de revenir.
We came here for drinks & a mid day snack on a Saturday afternoon. Super cute ambiance & decor. Espresso martini was delicious! The Mediterranean dips were divine - only feedback we had was to include more pita bread since the proportion felt a little off compared to how much dips there was. But we were able to get extra servings afterwards which was appreciated!
I was hoping my experience would be different from what other people were saying, but it wasn't.
Food is good, decor is nice; but the service takes forever. All steps of it, from being greeted & getting seated, to getting your drink, ordering food, & getting it.
It took fifty minutes from finally getting a seat (we had a reservation & could see empty tables) to getting our drinks. The place has that reputation & it's well-deserved. I won't go back.

Have been here for breakfast on a weekday. Beautiful decor, interesting breakfast options however service was slow as apparently they only had one server early in the morning. This can be unfavorable if you are on a tight schedule. However staff was polite & helpful. Music was a bit too loud for a breakfast place. Food was great, portion was good.
Nous sommes venus à deux pour le déjeuner.
Ils mentionnent, à la blague, avoir le pire café au monde, mais c'est vraiment ce qu'on a expérimenté. Le café filtre était en fait un americano trop allongé avec goût de brûlé, très décevant. Nous n'avons tous les deux pas fini notre café ce qui ne nous arrive jamais d'habitude!
Le breakfast bagel était correct sans plus. Le salami de boeuf ressemble à de la baloney. Petite portion.
Le shakshuka labneh & halloumi manquait de goût. Aucune épice, ca goûtait la tomate. Une seule tranche de halloumi dedans. Le pain qui accompagnait n'était clairement pas frais.
Ambience bonne & beau décor, mais service lent. On a du se lever pour aller payer au comptoir, & ils ne sont jamais venus desservir nos assiettes.
Great decor, friendly service. Coffee was just ok. My pancakes weren't great, & one was burnt. She thought her eggs were good, salad was fresh. There were areas that definitely needed dusting. Decent spot but wouldn't go out of my way.
This place is beautiful! We came in for some cocktails & were not disappointed. Gorgeous decor inside & delicious drinks. It did take a while for our drinks to be made, which is my only negative. We didn't try the food, so we will have to be back as the dishes coming out looked amazing!

Très belle découverte au centre-ville de ce café-brunch à la décoration luxuriante (qui fait du bien en plein hiver)! Le service était vraiment remarquable, avec des personnes attentionnées & franchement souriantes, les plats savoureux, créatifs & très généreux en terme de portion.
Le service est systématiquement lent & les plats sont trop chers pour ce qu'ils sont, mais l'ambiance est agréable, les lieux très bien décorés, & le personnel reste sympathique.
Went with my wife on Valentine's Day & was happy to see no special menu or undesired fixed menu. The place wasn't too crowded so was perfect for us. The service was great nothing exceptional but was nothing bad to say. Friendly & welcoming. The place itself has nice with nude tones & 2 fake trees inside that look great with little lights on it. Plants & mirrors inside. The food was delicious & came quickly enough. Decent price for the food, decor & service.

The atmosphere & décor were nice, & the staff were friendly. However, the food was average. The steak sandwich was salty, & the Mediterranean chicken bowl didn't seem very fresh.
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.
Beautiful spot, decor & vibe was great. Service abit slow. Waiter actually forgot about us & after about 45 minutes realized we didn't have any food & then entered it.
1.5 hours from start to finish.... not great at all unfortunately.
Food was good, toast was cold.
Maybe a off day for them, but I can't see us coming back.
Firstly, if I could give half points this would be my rating : 3.5 overall.
The environment was nice, props to the nice decor! I was there on a weekday, not too busy but a few tables were taken. The waiter was overall nice. I purposely spoke French during my whole meal but he took the effort to speak French to me. I have to give him A for effort! The food was average, but presentation was nice! For those who are big eaters, you might not be full. I wasn't that big eater so it was fine portion wise. The meat was a bit salty but I could cope with it. The latte was well executed, strong enough for my taste. For the price, portions could be more generous, but I guess people go for the vibe.

Le pigeon café nous captive par sa décoration soignée. C'est un lieu lumineux & joliment pensé, qui crée une atmosphère tout autant cosy que vivante. Le choix de boissons y est varié & bien maîtrisé, & l'endroit invite naturellement à s'attarder pour y boire un verre ou y manger. La nourriture a l'air excellente, bien que je n'ai pas testé grand chose. Seul bémol: les prix restent élevés, ce qui peut freiner l'envie d'y revenir souvent. Cela dit, l'expérience y demeure agréable !
The café is really aesthetic, with beautiful decor & a cozy vibe. However, the service could be improved: we were asked to pay before we had even finished our drinks, & we felt a bit stared at, almost as if we didn't belong there. A shame, because the place itself is definitely worth a visit.
Such a beautiful place. Loved the trees & the decor. The service was swift & great. Coffee was excellent but the food portion could've been bigger I felt. Regardless, I would recommend coming here.
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.
Fabulous place in the heart of downtown Montreal with great food, especially my favourite Mediterranean Chicken Bowl =)
Very nice staff & reasonable prices. Great decor inside & beautiful patio/terrasse outside during summer. Stop by for food or drinks if you're in downtown.
