Tabac Villeray - friendly and family address in the Villeray district. In café-refreshment mode, we focus on local and organic products, varied coffees, light meals, natural wines.
Tabac Villeray comes across as a stylish, versatile neighborhood spot with a warm ambience, where thoughtful decor, a seasonal menu, and options from coffee to brunch to dinner create an inviting vibe. The venue earns praise for inventive mocktails, high quality ingredients, and a range of experiences, from casual drinks to meals on the terrace or inside; standout notes include a foie gras with rum and refined plates, a beautiful terrace, and friendly, attentive service. Brunch is consistently well executed, though some feel the brunch and coffee could be improved, while the overall dining experience remains solid and enjoyable. It is described as a neighborhood gem in Villeray, a place to stop by for a drink, a bite, or a longer visit, with a mix of casual cafe and destination-like offerings. Price points are sometimes cited as high for certain dishes and there is occasional confusion about menu presentation or pricing compared with similar venues, but the general sentiment highlights the atmosphere, quality, and the likelihood of returning.
I want to give this place a 5 star review because I had high expectations before going, but the food just wasn't that good! The service was OK & the seating on the sidewalk was pretty cool!
Que dire, l'équipe complète est super serviable & amicale. Connaissez-vous beaucoup d'endroit qui vous reconnaissent & vous appelle par votre nom après deux visites?

spent an evening there with friends. First time there. Very pleasantly happy. The atmosphere was so wonderful. Not too loud. The food is great (healthy, but not too much - a bit of everything). Staff is quick & attentive, but not overbearing. So lovely - will hopefully go again.
Je ne suis passé que pour prendre une bierre avec une amie. Quelques bierres interessantes en plus des bierres habituelles. Un service prompt & courtois. Tres sympathique.
Impeccable brunch du samedi, un service incroyable du proprio. Je vous le recommande chaudement... il y a que Montréal qui offre ce genre de trésor caché!!
Coup de malchance en ce matin du 3 Mars 2024, la poutine déjeuner n'était pas à mon goût & pas vraiment chaude. L'oeuf mal cuit tremblotte quand j'attaque ce qui est mangeable autour de l'assiette. Elle repart pleine, le serveur n'est pas passé nous demander comment ça allait & n'a pas non plus pris la peine de savoir pourquoi il débarassait un plat à peine entamé. Un ensemble bien léger donc. Un smoothie fait monter l'addition à 38$, aucune cohérence avec l'expérience proposée.
Très belle découverte. Petit bistro avec une ambiance très sympa, un service agréable & bonne nourriture. Nous reviendrons tester d'autres plats sans hésiter.

J'adore cet endroit. C'est chaleureux & on y mange toujours bien. Merci à Laurence pour son excellent service, c'est agréable de te voir aussi pétillante. Merci également pour toutes les recommandations, tu es bonne dans ce que tu fais & toujours souriante.
Ouf, I cannot believe they have the nerve to sell a $15 saq bottle of Italian frizante, the Ca Di rajo Lemoss, for $11 a glass & $45 a bottle 😯. At least sell me private import bottles for that price, not something I can pick up myself. Service was great though so I hope the markup is going to good salaries! We were seated next to very loud speakers so I don't recommend it for a first date or if you are looking for something cozy.
Cute little spot, went on a Friday afternoon, very chill not too busy. Service was great & attentive. Food was ok but would def try something else another time.
We went for a birthday party, & I couldn't stop bragging about how incredible the team was. They had pre prepped incredibly delicious cocktails & mocktails & catered to everyone wims. Dominic, you rock! Thank you again & to your team. Diane
Quel bonheur d'avoir un commerce aussi charmant dans notre quartier ! Le café est délicieux, on peut même accompagner celui-ci d'un croissant de chez la boulangerie Automne ! Il me tarde de les visiter en soirée pour prendre un verre de vin ❤️. Longue vie à Tabac
This is a gorgeous spot, the music, the decor, the patio, everything is tremendous. The food is exceptional - had the ceviche, matchstick fries, crudités, & a few excellent glasses rose. Patrick, the owner, goes above & beyond, ensuring excellent service. Will be back!!
