Super cute place, fun vibe. Pleasant enough staff. My dining companion ordered the matzoh ball soup, which she had never had. After her first bite of matzoh said she didn't like the strong bitter taste. i said, it's not supposed to taste bitter. I tried a bite of matzoh & it was awful, nothing like any i've ever had. Tasted rancid. We told the waiter & it was removed from our bill. Other dishes we ordered were waffle fries (they tasted just like the frozen ones we buy at home)& the Shakshouka, which was good but not outstanding. Later, when my companion was still burping up that nasty matzoh, we followed up to make sure the waiter had told the kitchen about it (he had said something about not everything is to everyone's liking). He said they were taking it off the menu because this was the *second* complaint. i wish they'd tasted it after the first complaint. Honestly it ruined our dinner. Companion still burping up rancid matzoh. Too bad because it's a nice place. Not sure i'd go back.

After one moderately good lunch & one terrible dinner, I'm giving them 2 stars on food & 3 on service. I was served rancid matzo ball soup. It was as I was swallowing the first bite of the matzo ball that it hit me. Not a little off, totally rancid & spoiled. I'm now working through some impressive indigestion. The server was vague about it, then admitted at the very end that another customer had also complained. (!) "But it's beyond our control; we don't try the food every day." He obviously didn't charge me for the soup but left everything else on the bill & said something like "sorry the soup wasn't to your satisfaction." Um, wrong response to serving spoiled food. The decor is fun & well done. Everything else could use real improvement.
I've now hosted & attended various events at Pigeon Club Cafe, & am always happy with the outcome. Their food is amazing, & their staff is both welcoming & present to help in any way possible. Looking forward to going back for many more meals!
This year I have had a birthday brunch, a baby shower & a work event hosted at Pigeon Club Cafe & all of my experiences were exceptional! Sean & the staff are so accommodating & really dedicated to creating a great experience for the guests. The food is always amazing no matter what! I recommend hosting in the restaurant as well as in the private party room!
We had a private event at Pigeon Club Cafe last night, & it was simply magical! From the gorgeous venue to the amazing staff, all our gusts had the best time. The owner is such a pleasure to deal with & cannot wait to do our next event there! Thanks again!!

I finally had a chance to try this place after hearing good things about the restaurant. First off , the place is gorgeous. The decor is beautiful. We found the staff very friendly & the place was busy on a nice Saturday afternoon. I ordered the Pigeon Special & my wife ordered the Richard Lewis. We enjoyed our foot (especially the waffle fries ). I was slightly disappointed that the menu didn't have brisket though. Overall we're satisfied with our visit & we will be returning in the near future.
We recently hosted my daughter's birthday at Pigeon Club Cafe. The food was excellent & abundant, the service was top notch, & the atmosphere was amazing. My guests enjoyed the morning & the birthday girl had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this venue for any parties you are considering to host.
Very very nice place that the corps is spectacular of the food was okay the service was terrible I have never seen a restaurant where I'm receiving my coffee & my dessert & my plate for my food is still on my table.
Friendly staff, great ambiance, very clean & modern. Food was fantastic!!! Not disappointed! Highly recommend giving them a try if you haven't already!
Pointe Claire location on Mother's day. Was absolutely perfect. A bit of wait but all worth it for the quality of food. Sat at the bar perfect view of beautiful decoration. Can't wait to go back for a supper experience.

The atmosphere of the cafe is simply charming. Soft, ambient lighting combined with the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee creates an inviting space that feels like a home away from home. The decor, with nature touches & cozy seating arrangements, adds to the welcoming vibe.
Wonderful experience!! I planned an event at this location & it was an ideal setting. The food was excellent & the service was top-knotch. They were very accommodating to our group & ensured that we enjoyed ourselves & had a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend planning an event here or even just grabbing a bite!! 🙌
First time coming here & had a table for 11:00 . Great atmosphere & decor, service was great despite how busy it was. I heard good things about this place & was looking forward to my meal. Ordered the Pigeon Special sandwich. Very disappointing. There was barely any meat in it. I'm not exaggerating when I say there was 1 slice of each type of meat. We ended up calling it the sad sandwich. So don't recommend getting it. Otherwise the other dishes that was ordered were good.
The food was really good but unfortunately me & my friend we got an attitude & a side eye for the waitress that was serving us because we didn't choose the 18% 20% 25% tip instead we put 15% & she singed & didn't even say "thank you have a nice day" she just left & didn't look at us. It was really awkward & doesn't make me want to come back:
