1 year agoEasily the best boardgame cafe in Montreal.. and the best cheesecake. We had a citrus cheesecake that was super light and each bite was just perfect. The bottom was so crisp, and there must've been a clementine syrup mixed in because each bite was so flavourful. Cannot recommend this place enough.

10 months agoI went there with my girlfriend to have a board game night and we had an amazing time. The cozy environment, the music, and the food was incredible. We tried their sandwiches and celery soup and it was absolutely amazing! Totally recommended.

Highly recommend. It's a way chill vibe (and really truly feels like stepping into someone's living room as they make you a latte and help you learn the game). The games were so well cared for. Go support this place (it's not a chain like some other options!). Show less

Went here on a Friday night and the owner was super helpful in breaking down the Dune board game we chose to play. He took a full half hour to go through a super complex game with even more complicated mechanics. He made the game easy to understand and a lot of fun to chat with too! Also, make sure to try the food, I had a cheesecake and it was so light ❤️ This place deserves so much love, it’s nice to see something like this in Montreal, it’s very much needed in a sea of generic “pub ludiques”.

What a wonderful independently owned gem this is! The owner of the cafe is patient, passionate, and has a GREAT collection of games. He gave us great recommendations and also gave us a run down on how to play each game and their special nuances. Not to mention, the cheesecake and chocolate raspberry praline cookie was one of the best cookies I’ve had and I am a cookie expert. The other owner is a pastry chef and makes these high level desserts, together they really make a wonderful pair and a setting for a cozy date night! Highly recommend for everyone to come play games and try their amazing food. Show less
