Benedetta offers a warm, elegant setting in the Old Port with a charming courtyard and a welcoming atmosphere, pairing friendly, attentive service with consistently high quality Italian inspired cuisine. The food receives frequent praise for freshness, balanced flavors, and careful presentation across pizzas, pastas, paninis and brunch dishes, and cocktails and espresso are often highlighted as excellent. The vibe is cozy yet refined, making it popular for dates, casual dinners, or gatherings, with the courtyard and a downstairs speakeasy adding to the appeal. Occasional notes mention long waits during peak times, and a few dishes are described as lacking depth or being overpriced, along with practical hints like parking considerations. Overall Benedetta comes across as a standout Old Port spot with reliable food, a memorable atmosphere, and hospitality that encourages a return visit.
Best Cannolis I've ever had! Wife & I were just walking around old Montreal & came upon this beautiful set place. Something about the vibe was just perfect. Jo our waitress was absolutely amazing, & definitely gave us a perfect reason to come back. & seriously, you have to try the Cannolis! We're already craving it.
This place has a beautiful indoor terrace as well as a small coffee ☕ shop downstairs. The upstairs dining room is perfect for private & corporate events. The speakeasy is great for a small party to celebrate in an intimate setting. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

Worst experience at a restaurant. It took around 20 minutes to get water AFTER being seated, another 10-15 for our drinks & when we ordered food, we waited an hour for two cold soups & none of the sandwiches ordered. We didn't get checked on by our waiter once. It's a beautiful ambience inside & we were really excited to have lunch there but the service did not meet the expectations. I don't recommend it until they figure out their stuff. Disappointed.
What a beautiful experience we've had ! This place is absolutely amazing ! The food is delicious, we had such a great service & the ambiance is so unique! I definitely recommend to everyone ! This is the new place to go for your date nights or dinner with some friends in the old port of Montreal!
Such a beautiful restaurant! We had an incredible evening! The service was amazing & the food was spectacular! We really enjoyed the night! Parking was not so bad & walking distance to everything! We will definitely be back.

I booked this Old Port restaurant for my birthday, & it was honestly the most perfect experience from start to finish. We were a large group, & everything was handled so seamlessly, the staff went above & beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. The atmosphere was exactly what I was hoping for: warm, vibrant, & elevated without feeling pretentious. It created the perfect setting for such a special night. The food was absolutely incredible, every dish was beautifully presented & full of flavor, & all of my guests kept talking about how good everything was.
Had an amazing time with my girlfriends here! It's a great spot for Aperol spritzs' & their pizza is amazing! Their speakeasy is also beautiful! Definitely a spot to checkout with ya girlfriends!
Visited Benedetta Courtyard Café in Old Montréal recently & had a fantastic experience. The courtyard is absolutely stunning it provides a polished & relaxing backdrop, perfect for a summer lunch, brunch, or evening aperitivo. The décor & atmosphere are both trendy & welcoming, with just the right level of background music .

Benedetta is one of the most impressive spots in the city. Whether you're coming for brunch, drinks, or just a good time, everything about the experience is top tier. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between trendy & welcoming, with great music, beautiful decor, & an energy that makes you want to stay awhile.
The food is incredible, flavorful, fresh, & plated with real care. The cocktails are just as thoughtful, with a creative menu & perfectly balanced mixes. & the service? Flawless. Friendly, professional, & genuinely attentive.
Whether you're kicking off your day or heading into a night out, Benedetta delivers. Can't recommend it enough.
What can I say, Benedetta blew my expectations away! The food, to die for! The drinks, chilled & delicious! The vibe, chefs kiss! The team at Benedetta really goes above & beyond to make sure you have an unforgettable experience, & the garden terrace is beautiful… will be back for many more delicious cocktails & food
Food was delicious, terrace area was beautiful, service was EXCESSIVELY slow & disorganized.. We were 6, we all got our food at 20-25 minute intervals & my kids (under 10) were served last & literally 45minutes after the first plate was served on our table. Sure they apologized, it happens, but we even had to wait 20 minutes to get our bill which seems reasonable except when theres only 3 tables in the restaurant! Service MUST be better because the food & place is excellent 👌
Don't go for the food! The location with the garden is beautiful but the food is overpriced. The caprese panini is only with mozarella, no basil & no tomato. So tasteless & that for 19 CAD
The pizza is no pizza, it's a ciabatta with salami or mortadella. Disappointing.
So for drinks I would return becasuse of the great ambiance but not for the food.

Stopped in for a quick bite with two friends this past Saturday. The place itself is beautiful, the service was excellent, & the food was beyond tasty. We split an order of kettle chips & dip, an arancini (the spinach one), & the Caprese fold over pizza. Everything was delicious. Tomato sauce was so tasty, the mozzarella was fresh & the dip that came with the kettle chips was amazingly fresh as well.
Sat outside in the little courtyard area which gives full old Montreal vibes with the beautiful stone. The owner (I think it was the owner) was so friendly & made sure that we had everything we needed the entire time.
I definitely will add this to my'must visit' list for the next time I'm in Montreal.
We had a lovely brunch in the courtyard of this spot in Old Port, beautiful vibes with great music. The service was warm & attentive, & the food definitely impressed. We ordered the croissant & the mortadella pizza (which is more like a really good focaccia, no complaints there). The mimosas were absolutely to die for.
My only feedback is that the coffee wasn't quite up to the same standard as the rest of the meal. But overall, a fantastic experience with very reasonable prices. Would definitely come back!
