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.

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.
I can't say enough about this restaurant! We had a baby shower at the Pigeon Club Cafe last Sunday. The hall downstairs was the perfect venue for our brunch! Our server Gabriel was amazing & extremely attentive. The food was excellent! Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, waffle fries, smoked salmon, pancakes, yogourt parfaits & a fruit platter! Coffee, cappuccinos, lattes & of course no shortage of Mimosas! Thank you Lindsay & the Pigeon Cafe for making this a huge success 💕
I am normally a huge fan of Pigeon, but my experience at this location left a very bad taste in my mouth that made me want to avoid all locations going forward.
I was invited to a birthday brunch for a group of around 20 people so there was a group menu, which would have been fine…. if we weren't charged $50 per person for a meal that is $16.95 on the menu…. with mandatory 18% gratuity. It did not come with anything else except a plate of mini pancakes for everyone to share(1 mini, 3 inch wide) pancake per person. No drink was included except drip coffee, which is free anyway. The staff was kind & friendly but so slow & moved with no sense of urgency.
I feel ripped off, especially considering the great service & value for the meal I got at other Pigeon locations. I would highly recommend avoiding this location, as they are very comfortable ripping off their customers & do not provide service on par with Pigeon Monkland.

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!!
Belle expérience à ce resto qui, dans le quartier, propose un bel ajout à l'offre des brunchs. C'est un endroit lumineux & confortable, accompagné d'un menu bien fait & bien balancé (plus haute gamme que le restaurant de brunchs classiques).
Le service n'est vraiment pas des plus personnalisés, mais le lieu est très agréable ; il y a de nombreuses banquettes, ça respire, le dosage de l'éclairage est bien & c'est parfait pour les brunchs qui s'étirent. Le café est délicieux & les plats que nous avons pris (oeufs bénédictines) étaient vraiment très gourmands & bien assaisonnés.
We go to Pigeon Café regularly, & it never disappoints. Whether it's brunch or something new off the menu, no matter what you order it's always really good. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is great, & it's one of those places you can rely on every single time. One of our go-to spots & highly recommended.

Discovered this place by accident because it's pretty central for all the ladies who brunch. Super pretty decor,. We have now adopted it as our fave. The food is always good,. We have lattes & no complaints here. We ALWAYS get an order of pancakes to share.
This last time we had excellent service by John - & hope we can enjoy service like that every time. Patient, courteous & a good sense of humour! Almost all of us have been in the service industry, so we're pretty critical. We always go Saturday or Sunday. It's loud which is okay because we probably are as well 😉
I came looking to buy a pigeon. Ended up buying brunch instead.
Pigeon Cafe is a hidden gem in the West Island with its unassuming exterior but stunningly beautiful interior decor.
Everything that we purchased was excellent with the exception of the Brown Butter Eggs Benedict. Firstly, as seen in the photo, the meal didn't come with bread & the waiter had to bring us bread on the side. Secondly, the eggs were very watery & upon popping both eggs, the plate was flooded with the water that the eggs were boiled in which made for a very watery & bland dish. This happened with both eggs & unfortunately this ruined the Eggs Benedict dish for us.
The other three dishes that we had were delicious & I would order them again for sure.
Though it's advertised as the world's worst coffee, the coffee is actually fantastic. The milk was well textured & the perfect temperature. Really good job from the barista.

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.
I recently hosted my brunch event at pigeon club cafe & it was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The communication with the event coordinator was smooth & professional - she made planning everything so much easier & stress-free.
The food was delicious & beautifully presented, & all of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the meal. The owner was also absolutely lovely to deal with - kind, accommodating, & genuinely made us feel welcome.
Thank you to the whole team for helping make such a special day even more memorable. Highly recommend for any event or celebration!

Had a wonderful brunch today for 12 people.
Great spot, beautiful ambience & exceptional food. Service was attentive. Planning the event with Lindsay in the catering dept was a pleasure.
I had a brunch today, but it was okay okay , i ordered salmon but there was no seasoning & my husband ordered stake medium rare but it was over cooked , too much chewy . I like the vibe , atmosphere was really fulfilled but please i spend my money . Please please work on your food TASTE
Have been there a few times for brunch & lunch. Cozy atmosphere with nice & spacious area. Food service is not quick & the cafe almost lives up to it's promise of'worst coffee'. Cocktails & fresh pressed juice are way better options. Intetesting menu & a variety of items to choose from.
Great food & beautiful decor inside! That tree with the lights really makes the ambiance elegant. Hosted my cousin's bridal shower here with a group of 30 women & the pigeon team was a pleasure to work with- from menu selection, decor setup & overall quality. Recommend for hosting your party & overall just a nice brunch spot:) shout out to John, Cody, Alyssa & owner Sean for all the help!
We had an excellent brunch at Pigeon cafe I guess we found a new spot to go in the West Island, great food nice atmosphere & the staff are friendly. They also have a nice bar area for mixed drinks I will try it next time. Go early to avoid waiting for a table, highly recommended.
