    Bottomless Pete Reviews: Amea CaféPhotograph: Scott Usheroff / @cravingcurator

    Say hello to Bottomless Pete Reviews, The Main's anonymous critic who's slowly but surely aiming to eat up everything the city has to offer, going beyond half-baked Google Reviews and people saying "guys, I just discovered" over and over on Tiktok.


    Amea Café

    7.5 out of 10

    $$½ out of $$$$

    • Address: 1188 Sherbrooke Street West
    • Phone: 514-906-0050
    • Website: ameacafe.com
    • Wheelchair access: Yes.
    • Reservations: Nope. Take a number.
    • Vegetarian-friendly? Yup.
    • Vegan friendly? Some, not many.
    • Parking: On the street, if you can find it.

    The mega projects of downtown Montreal just keep coming: First it was the food halls that survived the pandemic, and now it's spots like Amea Café.

    I've seen the demand's there, because if you're spending time skulking around the Underground City, the restaurants and the mall food courts there are seeing line-ups, and believe me: More are coming, so I wanted to take stock of what we got before the city core stacks up even further.
