Sometimes you hesitate to review a place because you want to keep it all for yourself. I waited a long time before posting this but the consistency of quality & service here has remained impeccable. Even through a change of ownership, because all the same people still work there. Menu items aren't too simple but aren't over complicated either. Great coffee, espresso, & cappuccino. Kitchen is open 8am to 1am most days & the bar has a decent variety of libations. Did I mention the staff is amazing? One of the things that gives Solaris its personality is that the walls are lined with Video Lottery Terminals, so many of its regulars are super regular. Getting up early on a Saturday morning to go enjoy one of their famous breakfast sandwiches, a coffee, a gangster rap takeover of the juke box, & chit chat with the staff is the best.

Third visit.

Went to check out the breakfast early this morning, good breakfast menu but the regular menu is even better. Had an all dressed pizza & an americano coffee, both were excellent! Roberto took our orders & provided great service all the way through.

The prices are pretty amazing for quantity of food & drink. Everything is priced like it's 2016. (Take advantage now before Roberto wises up. 🤣)

Highly recommend giving this place a chance, try the menu for take out or sit down, poutines are authentic & delicious.

Personal note; I am surprised at the (few) bad reviews because despite the gambling machines everything from food quality & cleanliness to service speed & accuracy are well above par for not just the neighborhood but for the city of Montréal itself. On all three visits it was consistently good, clean & delicious.

To the students who were angered at having to tip; if you don't have the ability to tip at least 15% for good service then please don't go to a table service restaurant. Servers & bartenders of all types have different pay structures & depend heavily upon tips to supplement their lower hourly wage.

If you find the service so bad that you don't want to tip, fine, speak to the owner/manager &/or post a review. Otherwise expect to tip well for good service.

It is cliche to say "Never judge a book by its cover", but this holds true for one of Montreal's hidden gems. Cafe Solaris attributes its pride in the quality of ingredients it uses rather than its flash on its front entrance. Yes! A typical looking walk-in cafe with down to Earth "Joes" making a true living & patrons smile. You are family the minute you walk through the door. But the real reason you come is because you know you will revel in an authentic meal, whether it be a ravishing thin crust pizza tailored to your liking, ciabatta hoagies that explode with freshness & just the right amount of crunch, or one of their gargantuan salads that leave you craving your veggies. That being said, I'd still go with the Goose Basket (a specialty gem, featuring grilled chicken & Italian sausage in a fresh salad mixture..... Yes... You read correctly - sausage in a salad). The decor is not overly fancy &... But the service, hospitality, & fully fresh lunch & dinner menu far outweigh & out match any fine eatery in the city... On top of that, you won't be burning any holes in your wallet. The two partners (Giovanni & Roberto) will ensure you come back for more again & again. It's a winner.
