Cafe le 9e

good spot to escape the chaotic atmosphere in the mall. the seating area is in the back, connecting to the office area lobby. the cookies are pretty good! the barista makes great latte art and espresso is nice

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! Staff is amazing and honestly I appreciate them being more down to earth people and not forcing a fake smile just because they sell me coffee or something else to eat. Absolutely loved them and great conversations! (give these people a raise !!) Even with how busy it gets they do an amazing job! A bonus is they remembers my order even though I had only been there twice prior which makes my week 🥹 The staff and coffee warm my heart ❤️

I come here almost every week because I work closely buy. Both the coffee and matcha are excellent, the staff is very nice and the cafe overall is beautiful. Their pumpkin spice in the fall is excellent. They once gave me the wrong milk in my coffee but I took it anyway and the next time I came in they remembered and didn't make me pay for my coffee. Love this place!

Cozy spot inside the Eaton Centre. The latte was smooth and nicely presented, and the vibe was clean and relaxed. The staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Good variety of pastries too looking forward to trying one next time. A solid place for a quiet coffee break.

Genuinely one of the best latte I had in a while in the city, perfectly balanced and very good! I'm not giving a 5 star simply because I took a scone and it was undercooked. The middle was still very gummy and raw. Staff was very efficient and polite as well, the place is clean. EDIT: Went back regarding the scone, the staff was incredibly helpful and nice. Exchange it for something else and added extra cookies to apologize.

Craving a delicious coffee, I went to Cafe le 9e, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's made by the people of Melk. Once again, I highly recommend this cafe.

The coffee, treats, service and atmosphere at Cafe le 9e in the downtown Eaton Centre were amazing. Special shout out to our barista, Kai, for his efficient service, attention to detail, and friendly service.

Great La Marzocco simply stunning coffee. What a great place great design.

I found myself at Le 9E for an impromptu breakfast. I was staying in Downtown Montreal, and since I had made plans to visit the Museum of Fine Arts later that day, I wanted to grab something to eat within walking distance. After comparing a few places, I ultimately landed on this spot - I was able to make a last-minute reservation so we headed over to check it out. Le 9E is somewhat hard to find if you don't know it exists. It sits on the 9th floor of a building in the Downtown area, with little to no signage indicating where it is. Once we got off the elevator, though, we were greeted with aesthetics. The space is large and open, with high ceilings, large windows, and a bar in the center of the room that serves as a focal point. I was a fan of the art deco decor, and the soft music playing in the background tied it all together. The breakfast menu had a good variety of items without being overwhelming. It definitely leaned more towards classic dishes with nothing too out of the ordinary. They started us with some complimentary canary melon which was sweet and juicy mmm. For my actual breakfast, I went with the pancake and a side of sausage (because protein). The pancake was much grander than I expected; it was a single cake that was topped with butter, fruit compote, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. This really exceeded my expectations - the cake was huge and super thick with the perfect amount of components; it was definitely a more cakey pancake if that makes sense. The sausage was good as well, it was stuffed with cheese which complemented the sausage meat well. Service was great, our waiter was attentive but not all over us which I appreciated. Overall, I thought Le 9E was a good find; I'm not running back though, as I would like to try other breakfast spots in the city first, but regardless you'll get a solid meal here with great aesthetics.

This is rather hard to find restaurant for tourists, but well worth the effort. The solitous staff, elegant decor, and tall light-filled windows make diners immediately at ease. We visited at lunch. Three of us shared an amazing butter lettuce salad with finely shredded mimolette cheese that was divine. I ordered the French omelette, which was divine. It was tender and soft and perfectly cooked. The house made seedy challah bread (brushed with melted butter) was carbs at its best. Highly recommended.

This restaurant made a buzz when it opened, as it was presented as this mysterious, long-lost art deco haven inside the Eaton center. It is also named ''Restaurant Île de France'', which hints at its strong classic French influence. You can access the elevators to the restaurant from the mall, but also from the entrance at 1500 Blvd Robert-Bourassa. The lobby is stern, with dark colours, wood and bronze. A stark contrast with the electronic selection pad, which only has one option: the 9th floor. Upstairs, the corridor displays designs from the era, and new renovations are clearly distinguishable from the old fixtures (herringbone floor). The restaurant is beautiful and spacious, with a very noticeable lack of air circulation. An abundance of haphazardly stashed flowers decorate the counters. The waitress led us past the beautiful bar, and pointed out a little baked goods cart pushed around like at dim sum. The menu was very conservative, very classic. We went for the mushroom toast, the French omelette, and a side of potatoes (only because the waitress asked if the omelette alone would be sufficient). The food came fairly quickly, and was very nicely plated (with a tendency to top dishes with a rough tuff of parsley). The most outstanding features were the faultless balance of flavours, and a technical perfectionism. The chives were chopped with exactitude, the omelette's external and internal textures were ideal, and the sauces were rich and velvety. A very satisfying meal from the technical standpoint, perfect for classics. The kitchen is irreproachable; the dining room staff could be a bit more polished. Note: I really loved the surface of the wooden table, it was sooooo smooth, I kept touching it like a weirdo! ,

I went there once for their brunch and I was not disappointed. The decoration are a beautiful art deco style. There's not many places left like this! We were a group of 6 people, most people ordered the pancake, I ordered the hanger steak and egg. As much as this restaurant looks expensive, there are meal options starting at $20 for the brunch. The service was efficient and quick, we had multiple waiters. All the food was enjoyed by everyone in the group, but what's most memorable to me is the beautiful decor.

Total disappointment. Ordered 2 dry martinis and 2 cinzannos. NEVER seen such small portions of both Dry martinis and cinzannos. 15$ each. NO olives. No bread: 3.85$ and need to order. I hour later still not paté de campagne or paté (they were out of shrimps...) the waiter was heavily tatood and sounded French and did not give a fuck. The female maitre D was obnoxious, telling that prices and service was not the same as 50 years ago. As if we never went out. $60$ and 1 hour later I chose to leave. AVOID AT ALL COST

Had a wonderful lunch with a friend here the other day. Was initially drawn here by the historical aspect of this restaurant, and indeed, we were able to make a visit into the restored dining room at one point in order to take a closer look at the art and architectural details. Very interesting to walk into a piece of Montreal's Art Deco history! For the meal, all customers were seated outside of the original dining room, in the corridor/bar area. I actually prefer this arrangement, as there's more natural light here, and it's nicely decorated. Anyhow, onto the food: we both ordered off the midi express menu, which includes a soup or salad along with the main dish. We both went with the tomato soup, which was very good. We also both ordered the sea bream, which had a nice crispy skin, and delicious pureed mash, vegetables and garnishes to go with it. Service was attentive, friendly, and professional. It's a bit on the pricier side, but worth it just to try something different and with a historical perspective. Will try the brunch here someday; recommend.

We ordered 2 burgers, 1 set of fries and a drink. Burgers were above average, but overall it was nice visiting the place. Prices are on a high end, but worth visiting for brunch.

Food is good, bread on the side is somehow angelically delicious... Great staff, great venue, it's located right above the Eaton Centre but you really can't tell you're in the same building cuz of how different it looks up there... anyways, loved it!

Wow! This place was amazing! The restaurant is located in an art deco building and the restaurant stays true to the era with this retro ambiance. The staff was friendly and attentive. And the food... absolutely delicious! We had a full spread of lamb chops, steak, halibut, oysters, bread, roasted vegetables, the chickpea crepe, squash on bed of goat cheese, chocolate mousse cake, cheese cake, panna cotta, and the lemon basil tart. Literally everything we had was fantastic!

Everything was perfect. As a Parisian I 100% Recommend. A bit pricey, but the food and service sure is worth the price. Everything is set in a beautiful art-deco ambiance that makes you feel 100 years back in time

We took my 91 year old mother and adult kids for lunch. The atmosphere was great for all ages- nice background music but not too loud that we all couldn't converse. The service was very professional and attentive. We all found something on the menu that appealed and WOW the food was amazing- flavorful and well cooked. My husband is a chef and we are often disappointed when we eat out but not here. It was so good the two of us went back for dinner. My new favorite Montreal restaurant.
