Pigeon Café & Bar offers a stylish, welcoming space with many praising the brunch and coffee, including flavorful, well presented dishes and appealing pastries, and the venue is noted as a good spot for casual meetups or celebrations. On the downside, service and value are inconsistent, with reports of slow and understaffed service during busy times, meals arriving cold or tasting average, and prices that some feel are high; the acoustic quality and noise level can be very high, sometimes dampening the experience, though several visits highlight friendly staff and great personal touches that enhance the visit.
The service at the Saint-Laurent location is horrible. I used to go often until I realized the horrible detached service is their standard. They need closer management of the service standards.
5/5 experience all around. Service was fast & friendly. Food was plentiful, fairly priced & delivered quickly. Atmosphere is always great in pigeons. Would certainly come back to this location again & recommend it over some other pigeon restaurants. Also we saw my wife's friend Josephine at the restaurant which was pretty cool.
The atmosphere & the service are usually on point. The servers are always very sweet & helpful . The food is ok, but it's also mostly a lounge/coffee place so do expect over the top food. I ordered a fillet & it was kind of dry & very small , spent 40$ on it. Not worth it. It's best to go for something lighter like their sandwiches, burgers, salads & pasta. Overall the food is 3.5/5.
too expensive for what you're getting. I got the smoked salmon toast & there are no sides for $20+. Although it did taste great! The iced chai latte was absolutely delicious
J'ai opté pour un steak & eggs, & je dois dire que la présentation du plat était soignée & originale. Cependant, une fois en bouche, l'expérience a été beaucoup moins agréable. Le steak & la sauce étaient beaucoup trop salés, ce qui a vraiment gâché le goût global du plat. Un autre détail assez dérangeant : le plat m'a été servi sur un plateau en bois qui, bien que joli, semblait assez abîmé, avec des fissures visibles. Je ne peux m'empêcher de penser aux risques sanitaires que cela pourrait engendrer, notamment avec la viande saignante, ce qui est, à mon avis, inacceptable en termes de sécurité alimentaire. La contamination croisée & les risques de bactéries comme la salmonelle sont des points à vraiment prendre en compte.

Belle endroit, première expérience en matinée, très beau décor, prix raisonnable, mais par contre le service est trop sous le rush & de pression sur la clientèle. Oui je recommande, mais le service en week end matinee est une sorte de pression sur la clientèle afin de finir plus vite.
Had breakfast with a couple of buddies. Service was friendly & efficient. Prices were a bit higher than the competition. Granola with fruit, yoghurt & fruit was a generous portion & recommended. Coffee wasn't to my liking & could use an upgrade on the blend. Place was quiet at 9 am but got busy at 10:30 am. Would go back.
Nice decor, walls have cool art designs, there's a terrasse for outdoor eating, the food is good, the service is great & the coffee is better than any other breakfast place in the area. Highly recommend!
