Tommy Café receives broad praise for a warm, stylish ambience, a cafe vibe with plenty of natural light, and generous portions that make it a reliable brunch and breakfast spot in Montreal's Old Port. The food and coffee are frequently described as excellent or very good, with crowd-pleasers like avocado toast, eggs benedict variants, shakshuka, French toast, and comforting plates that feel comforting and well executed, while some dishes have disappointed regulars with dryness or sweetness. Service is commonly highlighted as friendly and attentive, though experiences note occasional slowness or busy crowds that lead to longer waits and, in a few cases, communication hiccups around water or dietary restrictions. The atmosphere and energy are repeatedly described as lively and welcoming, making it a popular spot for families, friends, and weekend gatherings, and the design and view from large windows add to the appeal. Pricing is sometimes described as a bit steep, but many feel the quality and portions justify the cost. Diners also stress the importance of clearly communicating allergies or dietary needs, as labeling can be uneven.
We ate here with our kids, ages 10. 7, & 4. Great atmosphere, cozy feel, super friendly & accommodating staff, delicious food. We all shared & loved: grilled cheese, tomato soup, smoked salmon bagel, eggs on toast with hollandaise & avocado, potatoes, side salads, smoothie of the day, & mimosas. It was all super yummy & we devoured everything so fast. We had to order a second batch of potatoes because our kids loved them so much. Thanks!
C'est de loin un des meilleurs petit déjeuner que j'ai eu un plaisir délectable à dévorer, le café est juste parfait, tellement de choix que je ne savais plus quoi choisir... Je vais revenir & revenir dès que l'occasion se présentera ❤?

The restaurant itself is very beautiful & the servers were also great. Unfortunately breakfast was a bit disappointing. I ordered a truffle omelette & the omelette was quite flat & dry, not at all fluffy how you expect an omelette to be. The coffee was also not the best. It is a convenient location if you are already in the Old Port area but I would say don't expect 5 star food.
Went to go eat here a couple of days ago & what an experience I had!!
I went there for my birthday with a couple of friends. The atmosphere was amazing. The music was great, but most importantly the food was delicious . I'm guessing my server had told the chef that it was my birthday. I had ordered the Stelina Avotoast with extra prosciutto, & he made me a beautiful presentation. Who would've thought such a small gesture could make you feel so good. I will definitely come back to this little gem in the old port! :)
Bravo Petros
Such a lovely place for brunch, delicious food & great ambiance & our waitress Kaylee (sp?) was amazing, so friendly & attentive & very genuine. Would highly recommend!
WOW!! Wished we found this place 3 mornings ago!! Fantastic coffee & had the most delicious breakfast croissant. Flaky fresh pastry w smashed avocado prosciutto & melted cheese w green salad on the side.
Had a weekend breakfast here - the food was fantastic, the vibe was on point - casual, great music.. this is like your favourite neighbourhood place to meet. A sense where people come in & meet old friends, lots of regulars, & really good food. Most importantly, the coffee was good (how I decide if I will come back to a breakfast place). Recommend.

Endroit correct, le cappucino était très bon, pour ce qui est de la nourriture ça semblait bien, mais tout était froid! Ce qui gâche tout selon moi. Service courtois, mais long.
Je suis allée avec mon fils, Ma soeur & sa fille & le reste de notre famille & c'était merveilleux! Le service impeccable, super sympathiques & les assiettes étaient généreuse & absolument délicieuses! Nous ne somme pas de la région mais nous reviendrons quand nous serons à nouveau de passage!
Super restaurant qui propose une grande diversité de plats. Option pour les végétarien. Service très agréable ! Petit point négatif pour la musique un peu trop forte.
