Overall, reviews portray Pigeon Café & Bar as a stylish, cozy spot with a bright vibe and a strong brunch and coffee focus, offering Mediterranean inspired dishes like shakshuka, avocado toast and falafel, along with tasty pastries. The atmosphere and decor are frequently praised, though it can be loud and crowded at peak times. Food is generally well received when prepared well, but service is noted as inconsistent and at times slow or understaffed, with some orders arriving late or meals not matching expectations for the price. Prices are often described as high or overpriced for the value, yet many guests still enjoy the experience for casual meals, brunch, or social gatherings. The venue is described as suitable for events, with reviews highlighting friendly staff and good presentation, while others warn that service quality can vary across visits and locations.
Samedi matin, 9h30, sortie du gym : le moment sacré du brunch. On s'attend à des patates tristes comme dans 95 % des restos, mais non - le PIGEON Café m'a pris par surprise. Des patates croustillantes, dorées, dignes d'un rêve post-entraînement. Les ustensiles brillaient comme si le staff faisait des compés de polissage entre deux commandes.
Si t'aimes pas leurs patates, c'est pas eux le problème, c'est toi. 🥔🔥

The place is large & ceilings are high so it creates a lot of noise. The service was slow but very polite & pleasant. The food was okay. Decent. The tea was served cold so a big let down.
High ceiling so it makes the restaurant noisy. Service was decent but a bit slow. Tea was cold when delivered. Why restaurants can't use boiling water to make tea & instead use lukewarm water for making tea.
Let me be clear, the food is great, usually is, when they miss, its always the staff.
& that also carries over to the dining room.
We went there, 3 tables use, we sat down quickly, but 19 minutes in, not even a coffee. Just the waitress dancing away at the kitchen counter.
Service sucks in & out, food Is great.
It's a gamble because the staff doesn't seem to care.
Lovely atmosphère & delicious food, but pricey. Great service as well. I recommend the Benedict eggs.
Small detail - coffees are not included with the dish. Breakfast for two cost $47...
Pigeons Café in Montreal is an absolute gem. The food is outstanding - fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. You can taste the quality in every bite, & the menu has a unique charm that sets it apart from other cafés in the city.
I came in today around 4:08PM. I was welcomed by Olivia. Even though they were preparing to close at 5PM, Olivia made me feel welcomed & the food came in quick & good as usual. In no way I felt rushed, which I appreciated. Her service was excellent! Good job Olivia
Pigeon Cafe hosted our wedding ceremony & reception in June. The restaurant's decor made it a magical night, & there was a wonderful atmosphere throughout the whole event. The food was delicious & the drinks were amazing. The staff was very friendly the whole night & provided the best service possible to all our guests. There was nothing more we could have asked for. Thank you Pigeon Cafe!
