I'd seen Terraza Luz all over Instagram & was really excited to try it, but to me, it didn't live up to the hype. Yes, the tacos were tasty & the corn tortillas are hand-pressed. But $13 per (tiny) taco? We ordered six tacos total between me & my partner, plus one small lemonade, & walked out still hungry…

The setting is a back alley behind their parent restaurant Alma, which is fine. However, in the summer heat, there was barely anything for clients comfort (shade, fans). I wouldn't have minded the discomfort in any taqueria in Mexico but again, if you charge a premium price, you have to deliver a minimum on the customers experience.

& before I get the dismissive response that Ive seen in other reviews, telling customers to go eat somewhere cheaper with less quality, please know that I have absolutely no issue spending hundreds of dollars on great food & service in high end places to treat myself. But this definitely didn't feel like a treat & I will not be coming back.

Also please know that in Québec you are required to calculate the tip before taxes, not after!

Very cozy little restaurant in Outremont. It's small & intimate. Reservations are recommended because there are only about 20 seats. They offer a tasting menu of high-end Mexican cuisine. We took the 5-course tasting menu because my parents don't eat much. Service here is impeccable. The waitress was very friendly & knowledgeable. The dishes were nicely presented & very tasty. My favourite dishes are the clam & the fish crudo. Very happy that I got to taste these amazing dishes made by Juan.
