Cafe Aunja - Montreal, Quebec

I love this restaurant! The vibe was great, the waitresses were all lovely, and I enjoyed the music, design, and decoration. Even the dishes on the table were nice. The food was good too, but the rose water was a bit too strong for us.

Cafe was cute and cozy. However it’s really packed and tables aren’t always available. Great cafe for brunch. Love the aesthetics and the food was great! Close to the Art Gallery as well.

Hubby and I visiting Montreal and this cafe is the best one we had here. The ginger tea and London fog are unreal that we came back twice for the drinks and had to have the food! A hidden gem with amazing drinks, food, atmosphere and service. Such friendly, amazing ... staff too! Highly recommend it! Wish we had a place like this back home ❤️ Read more
