Review Summary

Benedetta is widely described as a standout in the Old Port, blending a warm, stylish atmosphere with a charming outdoor courtyard and a menu that highlights Italian inspired dishes. The food is frequently praised for freshness, quality ingredients, and careful preparation, with favorites including pizza, pasta, arancini, panini, and brunch items. Cocktails and drinks are a highlight, with creative mixes and well balanced flavors, and espresso and sangria also receive praise. Staff and service are repeatedly noted as friendly, professional, and attentive, making for a welcoming experience. In some visits service is fast and efficient, while in others it can be slower. The venue is described as having a warm vibe that blends old world charm with modern touches, and the courtyard and speakeasy downstairs add to the overall appeal. While most comments are glowing, a few mention price points for some dishes and occasional variability in timing, but the overall sentiment is that Benedetta is a must visit and a reliable go to for drinks, brunch, or a night out.

Great experience - served by Mike - the Old Port is known for parking issues therefore we Uber'd knowing very well the parking situation.
Food was great. Super busy but very much expected knowing that it's Valentine's Day weekend.

Overall amazing experience - the vibe is cozy & then you can enjoy their speakeasy downstairs called Capella.

Food was amazing- we had the pasta & bavette. I also ordered an espresso martini & it was perfect. I usually wait more than 30-40 minutes at restaurants in Old Montreal. Wait times don't bother me as much.

The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance, with good lighting & appropriate music. The setting has potential, especially given its location in Old Port Montreal.

Unfortunately, the overall experience was very disappointing. The service was disorganized & unprofessional. Staff appeared inexperienced & overwhelmed. We experienced long wait times, & several dishes were brought to our table that were not ours. The team seemed rushed & confused throughout the evening.

The food quality was unacceptable. My plate arrived cold. The bavette was extremely chewy & lacked flavor, & the potatoes were undercooked. I ate very little of my meal. When the server cleared my plate, which was nearly untouched…no one asked whether there was an issue or offered to address it. The lack of attention & basic service standards was concerning.

Considering the restaurant's prime location & pricing, the quality of both food & service does not meet expectations. You will pay premium prices for a substandard experience.

To make matters worse, parking in the area was poorly indicated, & we ended up receiving a $100 parking ticket.

Overall, this was a disappointing experience. I would not recommend this restaurant. There are far better options in the area that provide better value & service.

Amazing new restaurant in the heart of old port. Food was exquisite, you can tell they source high quality products & the chef is super skilled. The service was also super good compared to other places in Montreal. The place is charming, minimally decorated that lets the bones of the building speak for themselves. Good place to hang out with friends or even for a date. There's a speakeasy club downstairs with as much charm!

Benedetta is such a gem in the Vieux-Port! The atmosphere is warm & inviting, the service is friendly, & you can really taste the freshness in every dish. Their cocktails are creative & delicious, & the food has that perfect mix of comfort & elegance. A must-visit whether you're out for brunch, dinner, or just a drink in the Old Port.

This restaurant is a hidden old port gem. From the ambience & music, to the exceptional Italian inspired brunch I was wow'ed away. They make a killer Hugo spritz which I enjoyed on their shaded terrace. Service is fast. If you are passing the old port, definitely the place to pop into for an aperitif or delicious brunch!

An open-air cafe in the atrium, offering light meals & desserts.Opened until 11pm, you can chat with friends without breaking your bank account.

The breeze from the old port feels great!

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!
