Arts Café - Montreal, Quebec

Really enjoy my time there, great ambience, very good service, good food. The only downside is the wait time, it was long for us and it's a small but cozy resto so there's no place to wait inside (it was raining outside). I have a timer for my tea which ... was inside my tea cup and I was worried because of Covid. The waitress reassure me that the timer has been disinfected 😊 Read more

First: their falafel sandwich is heaven! We only ordered because the person next to us had it and we weren't disappointed. Rarely had any better! The space is absolutely unique and beautiful, definitely one of if not the best resto-cafés to check out in the neighborhood. Books and magazines and ... plants and friendly quick service. They have a nice selection of wines. Coffee is not extraordinary, but solid. Carrot cake was delicious. Read more

In response to above review, Sunday noon brunch is probably a terrible time to go anywhere and write about it... For those of us with a little more foresight, opted to go here on my last day in town, as I was headed for the airport. As a matter of fact, I ... headed over from the other side of town. And let me tell you, I'm so glad I did. I may have found my favorite spot in Montreal. Definitely worth a revisit the next time I'm back. AC may have singlehandedly revived my obsession with benedict-anything. After a long layoff altogether, I'm back on the train. I also had two cortados. And while I don't typically advocate for having coffee and brunch at the same place (why not try two places instead of one), I'd gladly order another. Thanks for your hospitality guys! Read more

Super place for brunch. Even for a Saturday noon and a smallish place we didn't have to wait long. Fun place - bit tight, but not as bad as some places. Lots of decorations to add a fair bit of character. Started off the weekend with a mimosa - made with ... fresh squeezed orange juice. We had the breakfast sandwich, classic breakfast, and sakshuka and all we're nicely presented and tasty. Really liked the potato bread toast, and the polenta went perfectly with the shakshuka. Not overly pricy - $60 for 3. Would definitely come back. Read more

I went on a Saturday around 12 by myself to have brunch and work. I set myself down on the table by the windows right at the entrance. Staff was really nice, multiple staff members came to check up on me or get my order, they would watch my laptop when I ... went to the bathroom, the tables at the front and by the bar have Outlets but the table at the front is lower and more comfortable to work on. It was busy, people were coming in and out, to eat there or do coffee take out, I had the poutine brunch which was excellent I couldn't even finish it so don't be fooled by its small size, and a matcha green tea latte. Both were yum. The decor is beyond cute, you're surrounded by books and hanging exposed light bulbs, and hanging plants and it's small but not too small. I would 100% go back and recommend it.
