Merguez Shakshouka

Wonderful service! The Shakshouka was delicious! Beautiful nature decor with soft lighting.

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.

Espresso with a Brazilian twist.
Cesar M.

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!!

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.

Capaccino
Shruti N.

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

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!!

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.

Carmel Latte with Almond Milk
Jacob P.

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.

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.

a plate of food and a cup of coffee

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 food is solid here, the service is slow and inefficient. Seems like there's not great organization.

From the hostess to the waitstaff. All very polite and welcoming. We observed them with other guests and they seemed very patient with the loud kids...and adults to be fair. LOL We had the big skillet both days as well as the breakfast sandwich. While there were some variances, we enjoyed both experiences. The first visit was better in my opinion - the potatoes were tender and not overcooked and my fruit cup didn't have a lot of cantaloupe. I have shared pictures of the menu as well. We had sparkling water and diet cola both times. Our beverages never ran dry. There is an upstairs that overlooks the first floor dining area. We wondered if anyone had ever spilled a beverage that landed on guests below. We could definitely see the possibility of that happening. They also had a nice patio, however, on the hotter days, not sure how enjoyable the city smell would be while trying to eat. Interesting - they only had one bathroom. So we observed a line. And there are tables right next to the door. I would avoid those seats if possible. A little too close to the restroom in my opinion. If we are in the area again, we would definitely eat here again, although they may be at the new location if we visit in the future. I look forward to seeing the upgraded features at the new location.

French Made has cultivated something of a local legend around its croissants, and after two…read moreconsecutive mornings arriving to an empty case, I understand the mythology. The almond croissant, when you're lucky enough to claim one before nine, delivers a genuinely impressive balance of shattering, buttery layers and a filling laced generously with almond cream, more Parisian in spirit than most bakeries attempting the same feat across this city. Even the raspberry version, when available, carries the same confident hand in the kitchen. The coffee program deserves equal praise. A well pulled latte and a properly balanced cappuccino suggest a team that treats espresso with the same seriousness as their pastry case, and it shows in the cup. Where the experience finds room to grow is in the choreography of the space itself. The room is petite, charming in its cobalt blue framed way, but the flow between ordering and pickup can feel cramped during a rush, and seating fills quickly. The patio, however, is a genuine reward, a shaded perch worth claiming on a slow afternoon. This is a cafe operating with real ambition and skill, let down only occasionally by its own popularity. Arrive early, claim a croissant while you still can, and settle onto the patio; you'll leave understanding exactly why regulars keep coming back.

We ate two butter croissants and a small bag of chocolate chip cookies. Very friendly and cheerful…read moreservice. Casual atmosphere. Recommended if you are in downtown Toronto.

Food (3.5/5) - the menu is a combination of small and large plates ideal for sharing. A cosmopolitan menu of diverse items from many different cuisines. - Baja Caesar Salad - baby romaine, corn, caesar dressing, agave bacon, croutons, grana padano, chili spice. This was pretty good, romaine was fresh and sauce not too overpowering with a slight kick to it. - Coconut Shrimp with mango salsa, lime, chipotle aioli. Also pretty good... shrimp was cooked fine and the garnishes worked with it. - Tuna Ceviche with avocado, cilantro, corn, red onions, leche de tigre, cancha, plantain. This one was average. The sashimi chunks were pretty average and the overall mix seemed to lack flavour and moistness. - Hamachi Crudo with avocado, elderflower, pickled strawberry, jalapeño, pistachio, basil, olive oil. This was one pretty bad... some of the worst hamachi I have ever had! Overly fishy and off-colour. Service (4/5) - server and assistants were friendly and generally attentive. Some lapses in check ins from time to time. Rooftop is first come, first serve so a reservation does not mean you will be seated quickly and may have to hang out in the interior bar or tables until ready. Atmosphere (4.75/5) - you really cannot top the view from Kost. It has multiple look out areas besides the patio dining area by the infinity pool. They have a raised photo pedestal which is ideal to take pictures with the Tower, Rogers Centre and lake in the background. They also have some trendy couches and sitting areas as well. The interior dining area is also pretty good with window views outside and a California vibe to it. Overall (4/5) - Yes, the food is on the average side for the price. However, it really is a great atmosphere for dining, even if sitting inside. It is a bucket list destination at a minimum and worth a repeat imo.

We also happened to be in Toronto when the weather was sunny and beautiful, so that also helped make this a nice experience. The food was well priced and light. We were able to finish most of what we ordered. The potatoes were my favorite part of the eggs Benedict, which we could sub with avocado instead of meat to make it vegetarian. They definitely could've used some more seasoning. The pancakes were good with maple syrup- I think the fruit topping was delicious. The pancakes themselves were a little on the drier side but the fruit made them tastier. The ambiance and vibe of the restaurant definitely made the experience worth it.

My first impression of the menu was really positive - there were lots of tasty-sounding options! We ordered a coffee and latte, along with some water. The coffees arrived fairly quickly, but unfortunately the water never came despite asking twice. For food, I went with the Express Breakfast while my partner ordered the Homestyle Omelette. When everything arrived, my eggs were cooked to a perfect medium, which I really enjoyed, and the omelette was a very impressive portion size. The service was a bit hit-or-miss, though. It took a while for us to get cutlery and when we asked for ketchup, our server said she'd be right back but never returned with it. We eventually had to ask the diners at the table beside us if we could borrow theirs. One nice touch was the in-house strawberry jam, which I thought was fun! It was a little too sweet for my personal taste, but I appreciated the extra touch. Overall, we had a nice, simple breakfast at a good price. The restaurant is surprisingly large, with lots of seating, and it had a really lively atmosphere. I wasn't particularly wowed by the experience, but we got a good deal and had a decent meal, so I'd say Stacked is a solid option if you're looking for an affordable and casual breakfast.
