    Brussel Sprouts
    Kerry L.

    This was our first visit. Came for lunch and the restaurant was half busy on a Wednesday afternoon. The service is ok. I think the workers are trying to be happy & appear friendly but they don't seem to be tbh. The food was ok. There was no vibe and it lacked ambiance. The lighting of the restaurant didn't suit the decor and made it appear "cheap". Overall the experience was underwhelming.

    Nice coffee shop next to the Hockey Hall of Fame. The prices are reasonable despite looking fancy. The food and drinks were good as was the service but they made us one drink different than what we ordered. We didn't complain since we had to head out and meet our friend. Likely a better option than Tim Horton's though.

    Espresso with a Brazilian twist.

    In Toronto and looking for a bite, when I got the message that the pigeon had the answer. Really nice little place with great service, really tasty food and some excellent espresso. Who knew I would find a favorite coffee spot so far away from home. If you looking for a place to sit, relax and have a real good coffee for not a lot of bucks. The Pigeon is the spot. Enjoy!!

    Capaccino

    Visited this place for brunch Food: We ordered an omlette and two eggs any style, both were delicious. The latte and capaccino were definitely worth a try. We also ordered some chocolate chip pancakes which were sumptuous! Vibe: Right in the heart of Toronto DT, this place has a cozy yet lively vibe. The asthetics is pretty neat as well. Overall a perfect vibe for a hangout with friends and family. Hospitality: The crew absolutely warm and friendly. They make you feel comfortable and the service is impeccable too! Final word: I'd definitely recommend this place

    Great place for an ice latte. The location on King is good for brunch but they also have one on the Path near Union, which has a lot of seating and good for a morning coffee chat.

    Great spot to grab some breakfast and honestly one of the best lattes I've had in a while! Ambiance is great giving trendy, elevated, casual vibes! Don't let some of the other reviews fool you, it's wonderful, so glad we stopped in before getting our day started! Service was also timely and super kind!

    We stopped by during Piegons Happy Hour. We wanted to sit outside but the waiter told us we had to pay first, which I felt was odd. We selected the items we wanted and sat down. I noticed the table next to us had menus on their table and water served. So I was a bit taken aback when she told us we had to pay. Felt a bit targeted. I thought everything was very pricey for the quantity received, for the waffle fries in the picture it was 6.50 for a few fries - felt pretty criminal to be charging so much for the quantity. I didn't like the services and the food was mediocre. There's tons of better places in the area that have much more respectful service. I wouldn't recommend.

    Mushroom and eggs toast
    Jessica M.

    While I was in Montreal, I wasn't able to visit this place despite it's many locations, so I was very excited to learn they have a location in Toronto! I made a last minute reservation and was pleasantly surprised that they still had spots to accommodate. Upon entering they have beautiful decor, especially the tree and foliage. Although I would've preferred a booth spot, sitting in the middle of the restaurant was also fine. We ordered brunch and drinks: - Mushroom and eggs toast: I added lox (smoked salmon) for $5 for an extra bit of umami flavour. Tasted great. I really appreciated that the toast was quite thin, unlike other brunch places where you have to cut the toast with a chainsaw (haha). The blistered tomatoes were so fresh and like tiny explosions! 9/10 - Creme fraiche scrambled eggs: We had this with pastrami. I think for the price, this is a great option because you get a little bit of everything. Eggs were well seasoned, not just basic scrambled eggs. 9/10 - Latte: Standard. 8/10 - Pigeon cold brew: This was okay, not as strong as I'd like. 7/10 I would definitely come again, but maybe I'll try dinner next!!

    Salmon tartar
    Rachel M.

    My friend and I saw all the articles and social media posts about this place and decided to check it out. We walked in and immediately noticed the venue was smaller than it looks in the posts, less chic, and the tree screams fake immediately (we knew it was but the pics make it look passable). We sat down and the waitress was very friendly and sweet. We ordered appetizers since we were super hungry. The spinach dip was fine but nothing special. Same goes for the French onion soup. The salmon tartar was overly fishy for my friend and I. Basically everything was good, not great, but came with a relatively hefty price tag. If you want to take an instagrammable picture in front of the fake tree with some sort of French-ish fare, go here. Otherwise, it's a pass.

    Creme fraiche scrambled eggs. It says it's with chorizo but either that's the blandest chorizo I ever got or it's a hot dog.
    Justin M.

    A nice venue. We had a reservation for X people, we had x+2, they took care of us. We got to sit under a tree. The dish I ordered (crème fraiche scrambled eggs with sourdough & chorizo) was 66% what I ordered. That last third, though... When it arrived, the "sausage" looked a little off. Not very chorizo. More like a toronto street dog with delusions of grandeur. Which, yep, that's what it was. Overall the food was fine but that tube steak was a major letdown.

    Originally from Montreal, Pigeon Cafe and Bar newly opened on King St. W. near Blue Jays Way. The restaurant features a day and dinner menu where the day menu consists mainly of brunch classics (toasts, omelettes, shakshuka, etc.). They also have salads, sharables and other more lunch items as well. There is an extensive dinner menu as well. Hailing from Montreal, you already know that this place will have good brunch! The restaurant has around 50 seats indoors and around 10-15 seats outdoors on their sidewalk patio. I stopped by for brunch on a Thurs morning around 9:30am. The place was half full where there were a few customers working on their laptops, some families, and some tables where friends were catching up. I was promptly greeted at the door and shown to a table. The interior of the restaurant is rustic modern where the concrete walls, wooden/marble tables, and tan banquettes make the space warm and inviting. There is also a large tree in the middle of the space to tie all the elements together with plants throughout the restaurant. The vibes are definitely chill and casual. I noticed they do have a take out counter as well if you would like to grab a coffee or pastries to go. I opted to order a stracciatella toast (sourdough, stracciatella, anchovies, microgreens, balsamic, grapes, and honey) with a side of bacon as well as a cappuccino. My drink and food was made at a reasonable time where the staff even brought me a better knife to cut my toast. I've had the combination of stracciatella and anchovies before elsewhere and I liked how Pigeon's version had the grapes which added a fresh component to the dish. My only wish is that I wished the bread was a bit more toasty. Otherwise, coffee was great and you can't go wrong with bacon (wasn't crispy which is my preferred way of eating bacon anyways). Service wise, staff are friendly and they don't rush you. You are welcome to chill in the space. There were a steady flow of customers coming in when I was dining there and I definitely already know that this place will be really busy on the weekends! Definitely will be returning to try more brunch items as well as their dinner menu (I believe they have reservations!).

    Drink menu (as at June 2023)

    Pigeon is a new cafe/bar on King St W I believe that originally built a strong rapport in Montreal. We dropped by on a Tuesday for brunch and it started as quite empty but quickly evolved to busy as we approached lunch hour. At the entrance, it splits to the left that leads directly to the bar, or right that goes into the dining area. FOOD (4/5) We ordered the Croissant French Toast, Crème Fraiche Scrambled Eggs, a Cortado, and an Iced Latte. The Croissant French Toast was recommended by our server, and I would absolutely agree. If you love rich sweet dishes for brunch, this dish ticks all the boxes. Creamy, sweet, rich, crispy croissant, and balanced with tart fruits. I devoured it. Highly recommend! The Crème Fraiche Scrambled Eggs comes with choice of bread and protein which we opted for bacon. Super classic breakfast arrangement, nothing special. Bacon and homefries were crispy and flavourful. Although the eggs were fluffy, they could've been a bit more seasoned. The cortado and iced latte were very standard with a nice dark roasted bean used for the espresso that holds up with milk. Nothing amazing but nothing wrong. SERVICE (4.5/5) Due the way the entrance is layed out, no staff saw us come in so we had to meander by the bar to get some attention. They promptly seated us and took our orders. Drinks and food came out at a nice pace, but I noticed it was significantly slower once it got busier. Staff was nice and helpful and did not rush out even when it got busier. AMBIENCE (5/5) Pigeon has a nice rustic and modern balance with their interior design with a faux tree in the middle. Very pretty and eye pleasing to eat around. ACCESSIBILITY (4.5/5) Located right on King St W, it is easily commutable and a short walk from St Andrews station. Driving would be a bigger headache due to traffic, limited street parking, and construction everywhere. Otherwise great location! PRICE (4/5) I think the drinks are very fairly priced, and the scrambled egg dish had good amount of food for the price. The croissant french toast was delicious but for the price I would hope for a bit more to make it more filling. OVERALL (4.5/5) Super nice spot and I'm glad I visited. Solid brunch food, coffee, service, and ambience. I'd imagine it will get increasingly busier as people learn about it, so try soon! It's great for groups or solo studying. Will be back to try more brunch and explore their other lunch/dinner items!

    The tree at the centre

    The cafe's decor, especially the tree in the centre is certainly attention grabbing. I have previously had a takeout coffee here (nothing special), but we decided to book a dinner here before a show on Valentine's Day. At the time of booking, there was no mention of a special menu. On arrival, we learnt that actually they had decided to put on a 4 course, $75 menu with no other options. Price aside, we weren't looking for a big dinner- especially as we still had other plans for the evening; and the Pigeon's standard menu was the attraction in the first place. We did negotiate with the manager to share a 4 course meal - but it was clear we weren't the only ones taken aback by the change. At least 5 other couples came in (most seemed to have reservations), sat down and then left after the menu shock. Many more came in and left after the menu shock. For a Valentine's Day - the restaurant was effectively empty. The main problem with having a high priced multi course menu, is that you are going to be judged against the other high priced multi course restaurants. And in that regard, Pigeon falls woefully short. The opening course of a beet and arugula salad, was ordinary. The risotto second course was probably the best of the four courses, with good flavour balance and good portion of mushrooms. The steak and mash third course was a sharing plate - nothing special, cooked to order, but a bit drier than it should be. The mash felt like it came out of a packet. The last course, of a berry pana cotta, was poor - poor consistency, and too sweet. It was a poor experience, but thankfully the show was a lot better and made the evening great. There are a lot of restaurants in this area, there is no reason to return to Pigeon.

Pierina guided us via phone and even came outside of the restaurant and waved as we approached. That was awesome Customer service as well as kindness. Ambiance was chill inside. Especially liked the artwork and table with their name on it. I had the Nutella latte, Nutella and strawberry waffle, and a side of sausage. Didn't like the sausage at all (tasted a bit gamey) but that's probably because ein the states there are nitrates, etc that make it taste better. No biggie! She switched it out for bacon, and that was fine and appreciated. My sister had the breakfast tacos that looked delicious and she really enjoyed. All in all this was a great pick and I would return when im Canada ever again and I'm in the area. Keep up the great work, Pierina. Her welcoming attitude attentiveness and knowledge of the menu was stellar and warrants recognition. Thank you!!!

I ordered a latte and grabbed two goodies for the road, a raspberry croissant and a ginger molasses cookie. The staff working were welcoming and friendly and my items were ready rather quickly. Once I got back to my hotel, I settled in to enjoy and get some work done. My latte was smooth and creamy and just what I needed to get my day started. My raspberry croissant was beautiful and packed full of flavor. The filling wasn't too sweet and there was just the right amount inside. I saved my cookie for a snack while I traveled home later that day. I love how it had chunks of sugared ginger on top. The cookie had the perfect amount ​of chew to it and the ginger on top added an extra burst of ginger. It was lovely. I'm so glad I found this cafe on Yelp and I highly suggest you pay them a visit. I'm still dreaming of all the pastries I didn't get to try.

Neither did the eggs. It's like they figured out how to get the look and texture but gave up there. I couldn't eat them. And the bacon was also awful. It smelled like a bag of dog treats.
