50 Best Cafes in Montreal

“This is a must stop when I visit Montreal. Great atmosphere, and best pasta!“

“Ambiance parfaite, décor rétro moderne et nourriture excellente. Nous avons essayé la majorité des plats et nous sommes d’accord pour dire que tout est succulent. La fraîcheur et la qualité des produits subliment chacun des plats. Nos papilles gustatives ont voyagé à travers le temps, chaque plat nous a évoqué un souvenir retrouvé qui au final s’accorde parfaitement au décor. Bravo à toute l’équipe et merci de votre accueil si chaleureux !“

“Lovely, inviting place. The best grilled smoked meat and cheese sandwich on the planet! We went everyday on our visit to Montreal and I recommend this place to locals and visitors alike. Ask Romain for a lavender London Fog and you will not be disappointed!“

“Started last Friday’s day off with a stop at the amazing Cafe dei Campi. Fully veganized Italian pastries and small pizzas. Soups and salads too but I stuck to the Italian specialties. Hazelnut filled tortellini melt in your mouth pastries. Amarettis and Biscotti. The essential Italian cafe’s big espresso machine which makes the perfect double espresso with the layer of crema and their cappuccino with perfect foam. Accompanied with a flaky delicious cornetto, it felt like heaven. Much chatting with my friend and a necessary second cornetto and espresso completed our visit by closing time. We had lucked out with a table. Had a great rest of the day that right from the start, arriving at the cafe there was a couple with their little boy wearing a Metallica t-shirt. Of course I had to comment, he was so cute and responsive to my speaking to him. And found out he’s a true fan of heavy metal music, this beautiful 4 year old boy named Sandro. So the day was pretty perfect.🖤“

“Charming coffee shop with an assortment of biscotti“

“Toujours un plaisir de s’arrêter à ce charmant café hiver comme l’été. Un endroit sympathique et chaleureux qui nous transporte, le temps d’un café. Au pays des Gina Lolobrigida, Fabio Cannavaro. Jarmo Trulli. Federico Fellini et Luciano Pavarotti pour ne nommer que ceux-ci. Que de mieux qu’un cappuccino accompagné d’un panettone Merci la vie.“

“This establishment is a pleasure to visit; lovely ambience & friendly service The coffee is delicious, made with fresh, quality beans & prep by trained staff which makes all the difference. I received great advice on selecting coffee beans to gift to a friend (which they put in a cute little bag so I didn’t have to wrap it 😁). When you want to treat yourself to great coffee (& pastry), this is the place to go.“

THANK YOU to the whole team.“

“I had a moment... You know when you have one of these moment you have to pinch yourself to be sure you're not sleeping or dreaming! I'm a 6'7" 300 pound's viking that got emotional there lol I was sitting in that beautiful and surreal environment, sipping on a amazing oat milk cappuccino brew by that LaMarzocco machine with a competent barista, eating the best smoked salmon bagel I ever had, with some Portishead (I'm a huge fan) playing quietly in the background.... time stopped, I thought I was dead or dreaming, tear came out of my eye, then I pinch myself to realize it was real! I got emotional, I've seen paradise for a second or 2! Can't add nothing more, go there once in your lifetime!“

“Nice outdoor vibe, hidden gem ruelle. Their Dany pizza was truly amazing, but their sandwich of the week (philly cheese steak) was subpar. No cheese was disappointing and for the price (64$ for those two items), I expected more. Really cute patio tho.“

“Excellent latte dans une belle ambiance!“

“J'adore ce café de quartier. Excellents cafés mais surtout excellent service. Je tiens à mentionner Maude qui depuis que je viens au café (3 ans maintenant) nous fait sentir comme si l'on était chez nous. 😍Toujours sympathique, toujours positive et remplie de dynamisme pour bien commencer nos journées. En plus, je trouve qu'elle gère le café avec brio. 👊 Bravo à Maude et à toute l'équipe de Maesmi. 💪 Continuez votre bon travail. 😎“
