Love the atmosphere at this cafe and it genuinely is the best coffee near McGill campus. Delphine was my waitress and was super kind and helpful. She was very accommodating and the service was quick. Food was great, I had one of the pasta dishes. All in all, highly recommend!

Adrian is the best server I have ever had the privilege of interacting with at Pigeon. He was so welcoming, gave me and my friend good recommendations, and was very obedient. I think that Adrian is the sole reason why I keep coming back to this Pigeon! He creates such a great dining atmosphere. I go to Pigeon just to see the smile on his cute face. 10/10 service!

I came last week and was greeted quickly by Adrian. He knew his job well and was able to help me choose something from the menu. He was able to balance/multitask while still being courteous and helpful. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was also very nice. Adrian is great!!

I was welcomed by the manager Adrian. Where do I start? He made me and my family feel so welcome and suggested delicious meals and drinks, while being aware of our allergies and restrictions to certain foods. He kept his smile and friendliness all throughout our time at pigeon. I was looking at him from afar, and I can say that he is deemed to be manager. Very skilled at his job and you can tell he loves it. Will come again thanks to the experience he gave me!

Love this place!!! I come here regularly and every time the service is good even during peak hours. The other day, I wanted to try something new and I was helped by Adrian. He was knowledgeable, patient and kind. He made sure to leave me, with all of my questions answered. I would definitely recommend this place for efficient service and yummy food!

This place is so bad I want to give them a 0, but I can’t so I give it a 1…where should I start. I went in a few days ago and was greeted by a man I’m assuming he was the manager, he was balding and clearly did not want to be there, not only was he rude to me but he was rude to his own staff members. The food was disgusting I could tell they really do not care or respect their customers as I found mold on one of the blueberries. Honestly I wouldn’t waste your time coming here, I have been a few times and everytime I notice major health violations. Food falling on the floor and the cooks just washing it and serving it to someone, ridiculous prices for food that has no flavour, workers being rude which is funny considering the only reason their in business is because of the customers. They clearly only care about making money not about providing a good service. If you wanted to eat food the same quality as dog food I’d just suggest going to a pet store.

We came here for drinks and a mid day snack on a Saturday afternoon. Super cute ambiance and decor. Espresso martini was delicious! The Mediterranean dips were divine - only feedback we had was to include more pita bread since the proportion felt a little off compared to how much dips there was. But we were able to get extra servings afterwards which was appreciated!

They have a sign that says the world’s worst Coffee and it actually was. On top of it it was so weak we asked for a second shot and was charged $4.50 for one more shot for our latte.

I would give it a 3.5/5 to be honest. The service is fine (it can take a little bit too long sometimes to make an order). I did not try the food but I tried the coffee and to be honest it was average even though I had higher expectations. BUT either way the atmosphere is really incredible (I loved the wall paintings, lamps and the overall interior design; it is very well put together). Lastly, the staff are nice so it made it an enjoyable experience!

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and everything felt well organized. The food was definitely the highlight. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. The portions were generous, and you can tell they care about quality ingredients. I especially enjoyed the breakfast Sandwich and Shakshuka, which was cooked perfectly. Service was fast, and our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Prices were reasonable for the quality you get. Overall, I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable dining experience.

I was hoping my experience would be different from what other people were saying, but it wasn't. Food is good, decor is nice; but the service takes forever. All steps of it, from being greeted and getting seated, to getting your drink, ordering food, and getting it. It took fifty minutes from finally getting a seat (we had a reservation and could see empty tables) to getting our drinks. The place has that reputation and it's well-deserved. I won't go back.
