Sora 45 offers breathtaking views of Montreal from the top floor, often described as the highlight, especially at sunset, with a chic, relaxed vibe and a menu that shifts from coffee and pastries by day to inventive cocktails and small plates by night. Reviewers consistently praise the cocktails for their craft and originality, the atmosphere for being inviting and lively, and the staff for friendliness and attentiveness, though a few note occasional service hiccups and pricing that makes the food portions seem small for the cost.
