Ordered the matcha latte with oat milk & lavender, & a cortado for drinks. For food we got the Richard Lewis & Larry David sandwiches. The Larry David was mediocre, had to get mayo on the side to improve the dryness of the sandwich. The Lewis was delicious but heartburn inducing--just a giant burger styled sandwich with thick slabs of meat. If you get it, the salad is a necessary side to balance the meal. The dressing was heavy on vinegar & smelled like feet--not enjoyable. The other available side was waffle fries, which were delicious but not great paired with a meat only sandwich with no greens of any kind. My Lewis could've also used more sauce.
The matcha is low grade & grittier, dark in color. Without the flavoring, I imagine it might be bitter. Coffee isn't my thing, but my partner raved about the cortado.
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.
One of the most beautiful Pigeon Cafe locations! Aside from the mesmerizing interior, you are always delighted with a delicious & diverse menu.
The service is also very good!
