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.
I had a great experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners & special occasions. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, & everything felt well organized.
The food was definitely the highlight. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, & nicely presented. The portions were generous, & you can tell they care about quality ingredients. I especially enjoyed the breakfast Sandwich & Shakshuka, which was cooked perfectly.
Service was fast, & our server was friendly & knowledgeable about the menu. Prices were reasonable for the quality you get.
Overall, I would definitely come back & recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable & enjoyable dining experience.

Hummus was very running not best I've had but I am use to fresh homemade. Service was excellent young lady from Ottawa went above & beyond. Would go back again.
The coffee was great, the pastries were fresh & really tasty, & the whole place had such a cozy vibe. Just wish there were more pastry options to choose from.
I got a caramel latte & chocolate croissant! They were both amaaazing & I'm really picky with my coffee💕 the croissant was really fresh it tasted great
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.
Tried this restaurant on a Sunday & it was pretty busy. The service was good, but our waiter didn't have a full understanding of the menu, especially when it came to vegan options.
We ordered the fattoush salad, the vegan version of the avocado toast, a smoked meat sandwich, fingerling potatoes on the side, & two freshly pressed orange & grapefruit drinks. The drinks were refreshing & the food was good. The fattoush was tasty, but not as good as the ones you'd get in an Arabic restaurant.
The place looks nice almost like a jungle inside. I would go back.
We went here a couple of days ago. We were a group of 5. There was no wait time despite the weekend. But after we sat down it took a while for someone to take our order & bring the food. Probably 30 minutes. The food was good but we had to ask for utentils & napkins. Condiments as well. & each took a few minutes. The food was good & tasty. Eggs were well prepared. The juices were the best. fresh & delicious.
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.
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.

Pigeon Café offers a wonderful dining experience. The creamy garlic & the garlic fingerlings are consistently fresh, well-prepared, & beautifully presented. The staff are courteous & efficient, creating a warm & welcoming atmosphere.
It's a great spot for both casual meals & business lunches. Highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates good food & excellent service.
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
Very underwhelming experience. I love the coffee at Pigeon Café on De Maisonneuve, so I came here for brunch.
I ordered an Americano but was served filter coffee with grounds floating in the mug. It was messy, with drips all around the outside like it hadn't been wiped. My partner's mug was cracked along the side.
Our order was taken by one person & brought by another, who spilled coffee on the table, no one came to clean it, & we weren't even offered napkins.
I ordered the classic Shakshuka, which came with a hair in it. They brought another one, but it tasted off & I'm not convinced it was a fresh plate.
Staff were refilling coffee at other tables, but I never got the cream I had requested twice for the refill of my second coffee.
My partner still left a good tip despite everything.
When she mentioned thr hair to the staff, the apology felt more like a brush-off than genuine concern. They clearly saw I didn't eat the meal.
Poor service, disappointing food. There are definitely better places to spend your money.
We had breakfast at Pigeon Café & really enjoyed the experience overall. The only downside was the bagels; they weren't fresh, which was a bit disappointing. Still, a lovely spot with quality ingredients & great potential!

I went with two work colleagues based on one of their recommendations the day before yesterday & although the food was edible (although pretty expensive for what I could essentially make at home & portions were small), I did make the mistake of ordering carrot cheesecake - which was not fresh, a bit dry & perhaps should have known better that something seemed off. That evening I ended up spending an all nighter of food poisoning. The wait staff were pretty nice; friendly, except for one girl who told me the dessert menu is to go in the front & look at what they have - that everything is there. Unfortunately, with this experience, I will never go back, nor will my colleagues after what happened.

Not worth the price or the hype. The food is okay at best, & so is the service. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes with fruits (which cost another 5$) & received this… for almost 30$ worth of pancakes, I expected fresh fruits at least. Plus there were flies around my plate.
The food was delicious & service was good. I had the merguez shakshuka at the recommendation of the server & it was fantastic, just spicy enough, the pine nuts & pomegranate were fresh & had a nice crunch, the tahini was very flavorful, the egg yolks were moderately runny which is perfect for shakshuka, & the stewed tomatoes were fresh & bright tasting. Overall the ingredients were very good quality & preparation was very good. 8/10 I also had an Americano, which was decent, about 7/10, although it had a slight burnt taste. Contra other reviews, service was very good for my Monday lunch. A hostess noticed me with 10 seconds, walked over, & seated me. She seemed busy, so after I put my menu down to show I was ready, I made eye contact with the bartender/barista & he jumped in to take my food & drink order. Every server was friendly & helpful. The food was just the right portion & the price was what I expect for the very central & busy location & chic, vibey interior. I am a pretty tough reviewer, but I think this place deserves a solid 4.1, 4.2.
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!
