We had a great event with our team. Everyone was amazed how gorgeous the restaurant is & the food was delicious. Thank you to Sean, Dimitri & the Pigeon team for the impeccable service during our team meeting.
We were lucky enough to have our children's baptism dinner at this beautiful restaurant. Sean took amazing care of us from planning to hosting. The food, staff & atmosphere were perfect & I would highly recommend them for any event! Thank you very much to the entire team :)
Rented the private room for a bridal shower. They made the planning an easy & nice experience. The food was excellent & the service was exceptional. The staff including the event coordinator /owner were very attentive, polite & hospitable. I highly recommend them to host an event or if you're looking for a restaurant with good food & great service. Jo-Anne Robson
I'm not sure if the menu at all Pigeon cafes has changed or if it's just this location, but it was a smaller menu than the one in St-Laurent had a few weeks ago, so I didn't find the waffle covered in fruit I was craving. Also the tables were so close together you have to move the tables to get to the seat & your junk was still rubbing on both tables. Which made people visibly uncomfortable & self aware(& that was the skinny folk of which we are not). I wonder what the firemarshall would think. I can't imagine what would happen in a fire wouldn't end up being safe. The food was ok. The breakfast sandwich was good, but came with cheese we didn't notice on the menu(not great when you have food restrictions), & overcooked breakfast potatoes.
I have been here multiple times for lunch. The sandwiches are ok. Recently, I went here for Friday dinner & drinks with my girls. We ordered shrimp cocktail, salmon tartare, & some dish which served grilled chicken with veggies. Shrimp cocktail was the most lame dish I ever had - they served 6 cold shrimps - without any marination or flavor - with ketchup in the glass!!! Ketchup!!! Basically, the chef did zero effort for that one. Salmon tartare was the worst Salmon tartare I consumed in my life. Only thing worth having was the grilled chicken. The drinks were ok. Ambience was fantastic - the place has good vibes, awesome servers but food wise they have to put more work.

I had mixed experiences. I went on Mother's Day & it was fantastic! What an ambiance & all of our food was so fresh & delicious. I had the shakshouka & yellow smoothie. I raved to everyone I knew. We went back for Fathers Day & it was not at all as I expected. Our latte's were room temperature & in my opinion nothing special. Our pancakes were only 2( I thought we would be getting 3) & they were soaked in syrup when we got them, I mean soaked! I was u see the impression we could pour the amount we wanted. The merguez sausage was dry & tasted like cheap quality meat, I was embarrassed because I praised my halloumi shakshouka we previously ordered & this was 😕.. not so good. The poached eggs in them were way over cooked. Also the challah bread got dry & cold before we even got to the dish & I ordered double bread. My shooey bagel was like overcooked dry egg( no yolk whatsoever) when I ordered poached . ( 😒 annoyed) & the bacon was chewy & fatty, almost microwave tasting. The first time we tried bacon is was great ( I think my mother told them extra crispy). The bagel & sour dough was very hard & dry. I hate to be so negative when I was so proud of it on Mother's Day, but I was actually embarrassed when I brought my family there this time. But.. breakfast potatoes were consistent & delicious! Oh & my yellow smoothie this time ( again I originally bragged about it) was almost a juice that ONLY tasted like orange. I didn't taste any ginger or turmeric. ( I feel like they screwed up & gave me fresh squeezed orange juice) but it almost had a commercial OASIS O.J taste 😐 This was at the West Island Location
We hosted my baby shower this past weekend in the private room & couldn't be happier with the experience & service. It was a pleasure working with Sean the past couple of months. He was very attentive & make sure all our needs were met. The day of the event, everything was perfect from the delicious breakfast food, to our waitress Olivia who was very accommodating, pleasant & a sweetheart. I highly recommend organizing your event there, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Sean!
Was nice, we had some suggestions about the menu & the service. We appreciated that Sean the manager came to see us, he was proffetional with a weet smile, he took the menu suggestions in consideration & gave us some explanations about the service. We wish that his warm smile will be contagious to his personnel cause our waitress was a bit cold & lacking some customer service training. Bravo Sean, u succeded to let us leave with a good impression & satisfaction 👌

Très déçu du service. Nous avons attendu plus de 50 mins avant de recevoir notre nourriture. De plus, la nourriture n'est pas à la hauteur des attentes. Très déçue, car l'endroit est très beau!
Super nice restaurant just a liiiiittttle on the too loud side. The trees & lights are gorgeous. But it's extremely loud inside. There is a wait on weekends but it's not horrible. The food was very very good! We had the pigeon special sandwich & the grilled veggie halloumi sandwich ( I changed the bread to a challah roll & added the Caesar salad for $3. Super tasty!!! To sum up. Super pretty inside. Almost like you're outdoors! Good very tasty. We will go back but on a weekday when it's less busy & loud.
Just had my daughter bridal shower today...amazing service, fantastic food & all the staff members were welcoming & extremely attentive to our every need..great place great job..thank you for an amazing experience. I Highly recommend this place for events..very professional
