Reviews paint Pigeon Club Cafe as a bright, roomy brunch spot with a wide, often well executed menu and pleasant coffee; dishes like shakshuka, avocado toast, and waffle fries are frequently praised, and dessert items such as chocolate babka and apple turnover attract attention. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as welcoming and stylish, with standout decor that makes the space feel open and comfortable for groups or events. Service quality varies by visit, ranging from friendly, attentive and efficient to slow or inconsistent during busy periods, with noise and crowds often cited as a challenge on weekends. Overall, it is regarded as a dependable destination for brunch, casual meals, and gatherings, offering good food and a memorable setting, though expectations for pace and value can differ.
First time for breakfast. Food was great. Portions for breakfast were great. Service was great. The only miss I could see is virtually zero vegan options.
Today was a busy day at Pigeon Club Cafe. They were accommodating multiple group gatherings, but they still managed to make it a pleasant experience for my family & I. I recommend the shakshouka with halloumi & labneh (although ordering an extra side of breakfast potatoes is recommended since thw bread served with it will go fast!)

Ok so I did take any photos. Server & host were fine. Food, Sandwich & another salad was really long to arrive ( plus 20 min ) anyway it was all fine & good, ( not great, which i never expected from any place ). Atmosphere is no the same from the old place place. Also they have breakfast ( I I have no experience ) so overall nice atmosphere , good service so why not.
The experience was somewhat disappointing. We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning & service left a lot to be desired. Coffee & water were not refilled very frequently. If it would've been busy, it would've been somewhat understandable, but staff were standing around in groups congregating instead of serving customers. We were sitting on the main floor & they use the space between two tables as a corridor, we were at one of those tables despite reserving in advance & the place not being busy. It was annoying.We were also near what looks like a bar area & had our conversations interrupted by blenders that sounded like they were breaking ice. I found the pricing was similar to breakfast restaurants, however, portions were much smaller. Roughly $18 for two smallish pancakes. One Mediterranean toast with one egg roughly the same price. My 76-year-old tiny mother-in-law with a small appetite wanted to go eat after eating her breakfast, as did my wife.
Overall, not the kind of experience I was looking for, nor will I return for.
Amazing restaurant for brunch!! I came here on a saturday, & thank goodness i made a reservation because the restaurant was packed!!! They have so many options on the menu & everything sounds so good, it took me about 20 minutes to decide what i wanted.
I took the Shoey's Breakfast Bagel with a side salad & it absolutely did not disappoint!! The bagel was delicious, & so were the eggs, the bacon, etc. The salad was also veryyyy good; the dressing in the garden salad is amazing.
The service is great, waitress was very attentive & even though the resto was busy, she came to check up on us countless times. Water was refilled often which is also amazing!
In terms of the decor, the resto itself is absolutely stunning! The place is so well decorated, i love love love it.
It was my first time eating at a pigeon cafe & i loved my experience. I will 100% be back!!
We had a wonderful breakfast! Everything was delicious. The avocado was perfect! Our waiter Jesse was professional, attentive & friendly. Highly recommend!
$105 + tip breakfast for 3. Not a great value for your dollar. The food came cold. The toast was not pre-buttered so spreading butter on cold toast is not favorable. Ordered fruit cup which came after we were almost finished eating., & no coffee refill. Mysterious since the place was practically empty & the service was terrible. I guess our waitress was to busy talking with her colleagues.
The decor is just beautiful. Something to see but not a place to eat. Will never go back there again.
Concusively way over priced, bad service but amazing decor.

This was my first time at this restaurant. I highly recommend the breakfast show as picture; I ordered it based on previous photos, & it was delicious.
Pigeon is a cute spot to grab a bite to eat with friends, I got the breakfast sandwich on a croissant & was pleasantly surprised by the flavour & amount of bacon, definitely a messy but tasty eat. My friend got the Blt & we got some of the mixed juice which was very good. Friendly service, nice ambiance, it's a comfortable space. I am grateful we got a booth because some of the tables are quite close together but besides that it was super nice.

I was there on Saturday, we had to wait a little, was very busy & very noisy. The food was good, the service was ok, the only thing that I didn't like is that coffee was not included with any plates, not even breakfast.
It's a big place & they put tables very close , you can literally hear everything everyone is talking besides you.
Not sure if I will go back, my personal opinion.
Beautiful café with polite staff & a nice atmosphere. But!!!!the food was very disappointing!!! We had already eaten breakfast at the airport & just wanted to share two shakshukas between four people. The shakshuka came in a large pan filled mostly with tomato sauce & barely any eggs - really not good. Also, the staff kept coming every couple of minutes to check if we were done, which made the experience feel rushed & uncomfortable!
As noted by others, this Pigeon Cafe went to town on its decor. It's beautiful, a palatial indoor garden decked out in whites & beiges. Its also huge, having been converted from a Cage Aux Sports, so you can enjoy the great atmosphere without being cramped.
The menu is limited, but offers a good range of salads, sandwiches, mains, etc. Meals lean towards the healthier side & are in the upper-mid range of quality, although they also have cheeseburgers, steak, even hearty breakfasts. Prices are good, considering what you get.
Servers are mostly young, friendly, & helpful. Overall, I've been there in a large group & at a table for two, & have always had a great experience.
I just wanna start off by saying the vibes are amazing, I came with my family today & was blown away by the decor & atmosphere. I thought that would be the highlight until the food came out, the pancakes & breakfast sandwich were phenomenal. The staff were pleasant & courteous, & had great recommendations 10/10 would definitely recommend for brunch!
My go to place in westisland, My favorite are the chicken schnitzel , the shakshuka & of course their waffle fries.
the vibes are amazing for breakfast, brunch or even group events.
Nice, spacious, & well-decorated place with great customer service. Their breakfast menu is a bit different from typical breakfast spots, offering a unique touch. However, the plate I was served was a bit lacking, to be honest, & the cucumber & tomato salad was quite unusual!
