Fun, vintage decor!
Amy E.

Love this place! Literally our first hour in Montreal, and we were looking for a coffee cafe with personality, and we found it at Tommy Cafe! We had great cappuccinos, Avococo sandwich and the Gobble (turkey) sandwich. We ended our meal with a great lemon/blueberry cake and a carrot cake. What a great place to hang out in a rainy day on Montreal! The decor is hip, vintage and super fun--plus it's in a beautiful, historic building. I really felt like I'd been transported to a Parisian cafe! I highly recommend Tommy's...a great place for locals and tourists alike!

I'll have to return!

We had a delightful breakfast at Tommy's. Omelette with prosciutto and mushrooms. And a BIG cappuccino. My husband had a bagel with lox & cream cheese. All were fresh and tasty. The cafe is decorated in a funky eclectic way with lots of plants and assorted knickknacks.

Ice latte

Such a cute little place, the area is under construction which was a little annoying but the place is worth it. We came in on a Sunday to have a quick breakfast before heading to the science museum. Their coffee is really good and the food was great, we came in right on time before it became packed, we were a group of 5. Our server Elle Gallacher was super nice & really funny which made the experience even better. Highly recommended

Window seat, another option!
Jake C.

Semi-eclectic naturally-lit and very open cafe with tall windows, many plants, and a plethora of small tables and "bar seats" perfect for anything from first dates to laptop work. They serve ready-made pastries, hot sandwiches, coffee/espresso/tea drinks, and loose leaf tea (ask to see the loose leaf menu, the green I tried was good and from Camellia Sinensis), with some alcoholic options as well. They have Wi-Fi posted, although outlets seem difficult to come by so take a peak around your table before committing if you'll need to plug in.

Solstice Avocado Toast
Alok B.

Stopped in for brunch. Food was excellent. We had the Solstice avocado toast with burrata and tomatoes and added a sunny side up egg. The presentation was beautiful although it needed a little salt and pepper. The croissant breakfast sandwich was excellent. We got it without the prosciutto so it had smashed avocado, sunny side up egg and Gruyère (I believe). This was hands down the best breakfast sandwich I have had. It came with a side salad which had a delicious vinaigrette dressing. My only knock on this place was the service set up. Four of us spent about $150 for brunch. I don't mind paying that for a great meal, which it was. For that price point, it would have been nice to have someone seat you and take your order instead of having to find a table and then go back down 2 floors to the counter to order. Apparently other locations have table service. Bottom line, food was delicious and I would definitely go again.

A charming corner cafe in Montreal. It is located in an old building filled with charm, and lots of beautiful plants. There were several levels with seating options. We stopped in for coffee and pastries and there were so many choices it was hard to decide. We had lattes, scones and cookies. The were all so fresh and sweet. Service was excellent. The staff were nice, friendly and patient while we were deciding which pastries we wanted to purchase. Highly Recommend!

Avocado toast and s'mores French toast, along with hot chocolate
Maria B.

My husband and I had breakfast here today and we thought the smores French toast and avocado toast were great. We also enjoyed their hot chocolate. It gets crowded, but we found a table upstairs. Good food and fast service. Walkable from the Notre Dame basilica.

Perle Sandwich
Vivienne C.

I know that this place is just a chain coffee shop but the vibes are actually impeccable. I didn't know Montreal's coffee scene is so strong, and I really loved all the cafes I've been to and this one was a great representation of the culture. We were able to easily find a table for 3 at around 10am on a weekend, but coming in 30 minutes later you might have to wait. I ordered a Perle Sandwich and it was genuinely quite good. I was a bit worried that there wouldn't be that much food and I wouldn't feel full when they first brought the plate over, but it was actually delicious and filling. I loved all the bits of vegetables in the tuna salad which went very well with the bread. The salad on the side was great too. I think though what was more impressive was the interior and how all these different types of furniture items came together into one cohesive unit. It was both botanical but also vintage vibes. Definitely a great place to spend in the morning.

Small corner shop with a second floor seating and mid tier seating area. It feels quite cozy inside. Large autumn latte (three shots of espresso) with oat milk sounds good for my hubby, less the whipped cream and cinnamon toast, cereal. Grabbed a large autumn latte, chocolate drizzle and pistachio croissant and the last Nutella cronut. C$20.70 We ordered to go, but the latte was put into a mug, while the cronut had the chocolate croissant were put into wax paper. The Nutella all comes off of the Cronut in the wax bag. Annoying. :( would be better to have the Nutella inside the Cronut. The Cronut is not so good, the dough seems like it's old and stale and rather hard too. The Nutella is the better part of this stale Cronut. The chocolate drizzle is so-so, the croissant isn't that buttery, flaky pastry you expect at all. It's quite dense and the inside is soft and mushy from the rather sparse dusting of pistachio nuts. Their pastries are quite overrated. The autumn latte was just average. Nothing special. They don't even try to fancy up the top of your latte at all, may as well not even bother. Service is quick, hardly any real interface.

Smoked Salmon Toast
Katie A.

I went here twice during my recent trip to Montreal. Once to pick up a chocolate croissant and matcha latte to go (both amazing) and then again for brunch with a group of 10. It's a cute space and the menu has a nice range of salads, sandwiches, and other brunch items. The service was overall pretty quick considering that it was fairly busy and we had a large group. The only downside was that the tables are tiny, so it was tough making room for everyone's plates and drinks. I ordered the lox toast which was super filling, with a generous portion of lox, capers, and red onions. Overall, it's a cute brunch spot and the food is solid!

I'm obsessed with this coffee shop! Note: this review is only on drinks. ***LOCATION*** This charming coffee shop and cafe is located right next to the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal aka the top tourist attraction in the city. However, this spot somehow still manages to have a local feel to it. ***EXPERIENCE*** My partner and I had a fantastic time at this coffee shop. We wanted to find a spot to have the money date and couldn't have found a better one. We were able to find seating upstairs and for it to be pretty intimate and somewhat private. There were a lot of people (as it was a Saturday), but something about the seating makes it feel still spacious. When you first walk in, it feels like there is a stage with seating. It's a beautifully designed coffee shop with a lot of yummy natural lighting. I ordered a mocha and it was probably the best mocha I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about the rich cocoa they used in it and the fresh coffee. It was divine. My partner really enjoyed his coffee too. They have food options, but we didn't get food on this visit. The avocado toast looks pretty yummy. ***PRICE*** My mocha was about $8. ***BATHROOM*** There were two gender neutral restrooms upstairs. I liked that the sink was outside and the stalls were just the toilets. ***CONCLUSION*** If you are looking for a delicious mocha, I highly recommend checking this spot out.

Latte glacé & chocolate pistachio croissant
Kate S.

Solid 3. + really good pistachio chocolate croissant + latte glacé + cute ambiance +/- super busy - they don't take names or give you a number and soooo many people are waiting for drinks. Some guy (who ordered after me) grabbed my drink before I could get it, DRANK OUT OF IT, realized it wasn't what he ordered, then set it back on the bar! The barista was so busy we could never get her attention to make me a new drink, which ended up taking 20 minutes. Ugh. - on top of ^^^, they forgot to make the Cortado we ordered Maybe our visit was a fluke, but there has to be a better streamlined system.

Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup
Vonny W.

While visiting Montreal, I made a point of stopping by this café after bookmarking it on Google. The cute decor and positive reviews had already caught my attention. Parking was difficult to find, so we ended up walking quite a bit after leaving the car. I loved the café's corner location, which gave it a charming vibe, especially with the staircase leading up to it. The layout was unique, with multiple levels and scattered seating, although it was tricky to find space for our group of four and we eventually split into pairs. We tried several items. The iced matcha latte with vanilla wasn't the strongest I've had, but the flavor was still enjoyable. The lavender latte was a pleasant surprise, carrying the lavender notes beautifully without being overpoweringly floral. The matcha cookie quickly became a favorite. It was so good that we went back to grab the last one. While I wished for a slightly stronger matcha flavor, the texture was perfect and the sweetness level just right. It just really hit the spot. The Avococo was another delicious pick, with well-balanced flavors. The grilled cheese was tasty but small and a bit plain (they could use more cheese and maybe even a variety of types), while the tomato soup served alongside was creamy, herb-forward, and flavorful, though also quite small for the price. Overall, everything we tried tasted great, the service was friendly, and the café itself is beautifully decorated and unique. That said, the price point is a bit higher than I'm used to, especially considering the portion sizes.

While the restaurant is highly celebrated and located within a Michelin-recognized hotel building, it does not hold a Michelin star of its own. But it is extremely classy. We decided to do lunch instead of dinner and it was a little more our speed, but if very, very attentive waitstaff is not your thing and $200 for lunch I'd skip this spot. We went because it had reviews for amazing beef Wellington and my husband hadn't had any in decades. And we were on vacation so let's go! The food was beautifully plated and service was impeccable inside of an amazingly decorated dining room that looked like a library in a mansion. The meals themselves weren't obscenely expensive but add a glass a wine, bread (it was not included) and coffee and it put us close to $200. But it was a great experience and I had never had beef Wellington - it was melt in your mouth good. Might go again next time we come up from CT.

But before even checking in, we had to walk through Bar George ~ and instantly knew we wanted to eat there. We were lucky enough to grab a last-minute reservation, and Julien took a good care of us throughout the evening. His recommendation of the Beef Wellington was spot on (it's already one of our favorite dishes), but this was hands down the best we've ever had. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was excellent with just the right amount of spice. My son had the 10 oz striploin steak with homemade fries (chips), and it was absolutely delicious. I also loved the Canadian touch of coarse salt on the steak, plus the option to choose between Béarnaise or peppercorn sauce. Julien also mentioned their pastry chef placed second in a NY competition, and the desserts absolutely lived up to that reputation. We tried the pineapple and coconut pavlova and the "lick me hazelnut" ~ both beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. We also ordered iced coffee and a latte, and noticed something interesting: this was the second place where we found Canadian coffee to be smooth and mild ~ such a nice change from the often bitter, over-roasted American coffee. Yes, dinner was a bit steep ($300+), but it was worth every penny. Between the rich history, stunning design, outstanding service, and unique cuisine, I would highly recommend Bar George. I would absolutely love to come back!!

We learned from the Two Gay Expats on YouTube that this was the place to try based on the charismatic chef Michael Tozzi and his renowned ricotta pancakes. Jamie W and I got here late on a weekday morning. Sure enough there was a queue. Dame fortune must've smiled upon us because we moved to the head of the line as a party of two. Even though the threat of rain hung over us, we were seated in the front parklet and quite happily since the dining room inside looked packed. We started with a couple of C$6.25 Iced Maple Lattes because it felt like the Canadian thing to do. They provided a welcome caramel-like sweetness to our refreshment (Photo 9). Jamie was more conscientious about his entree and ordered the C$26.99 Crunchy Sesame Chicken Salad, quite a mound of delights: romaine, cabbage, carrot, celery, shredded chicken breast, cashews, cilantro, fried wontons, and sesame chicken (Photo 8). Both the textures and flavors meshed really well together. Of course you can guess what I ordered, the C$27 Ricotta Pancakes with brown butter maple sauce, lemon cream, and Quebec strawberries (Photo 10).

I went a long time ago, back in 2021, and I was so happy to have gone again since they relocated to Old Montreal. The exterior is this new building, but inside, it feels like you're in an old building with rustic textures and colours. The ambiance is so lovely and it truly is the best place for delicious brunch items and taking cute pictures too! My friends and I visited on a Saturday morning without reservations, but we went relatively earlier. We were seated right away for a table of 4 and were served teas and coffee. I ordered the Bone Marrow & Duck Confit which consisted of a country-style bread, duck poached egg, bone marrow, confict duck leg, manchego shavings, herb salted crumble and green peas. It's a massive dish and honestly everything tasted amazing all together. The bone marrow was perfectly cooked and the duck poached egg meld everything together. They also give you another bowl so you can put the marrow once you're done eating it. The bread was needed to soak up every part of this delicious dish. Other items ordered was the Foie Gras (Chef's specialty) which had brioche bread, duck poached egg, caramelized onion compote and crispy proscuitto chips. The chips were a wonderful item to pair with the seared foie gras. The foie gras was perfectly cooked. The Rustic is another fan favourite which had brioche bread, duck poached egg, sautéed mushrooms. pulled pork, potatoes and argula sprouts. it is such a beautiful dish - nice colours, many ingredients and placed well on the plate; not to mention it was so good too! The last item was the Croque Monsieur which has country-style bread, maple-glaed Gaspor acon, confit tomatoes, cheddar, duck sunny side-up egg on an endive salad. You can't pick it up and munch on it, so you know how big this must have been! Even cut into pieces, it requires some maneuvering to munch on it. Great place for brunch. Awesome service too.

The bar is first come, first served, so if you forget to book ahead, it's definitely worth trying your luck. You can still order anything from the full menu. The modern, upscale interior sets the tone for a fancy brunch experience that feels both elegant and welcoming. Foie gras for breakfast? Absolutely yes. They also have a full bar for anyone who wants something pretty to sip on while enjoying their meal. The servers were bilingual in French and English, and they were kind, attentive, and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. My goal was to eat as much foe grais as I can on this trip so I ordered the Foie Gras Poached Eggs. OMG starting off with the bread that was on the bottom, it was so soft and fluffy. Literally melted in my mouth. The foie gras had a beautiful sear and was rich and silky, with a texture that honestly reminded me of ice cream. There was also a touch of sweetness in the sauce that cut through the richness in the best way. Every bite was perfectly balanced. I was super impressed and will absolutely try to visit again the next time I'm in Montreal.
