Benedetta est décrite comme une adresse chaleureuse et élégante dans le Vieux-Port, avec une cour intérieure magnifique et un speakeasy au sous-sol appelé Capella, où l'ambiance cosy accompagne des plats savoureux et soignés. Le menu, des pizzas et paninis rustiques aux pâtes et plats braisés, est apprécié pour la fraîcheur des produits et des saveurs bien équilibrées; les cocktails, l'espresso martini et le brunch sont souvent salués, tout comme les portions généreuses. Le service est généralement reconnu pour sa rapidité, son professionnalisme et son accueil chaleureux, même si quelques expériences soulèvent une lenteur ponctuelle lorsque le lieu est très animé. L'endroit est souvent décrit comme une véritable gemme du Vieux-Port, idéal pour un déjeuner, un apéritif ou une soirée, avec une atmosphère qui mêle modernité et charme d'autrefois et une ambiance musicale adaptée. Visiblement, Benedetta donne envie d'y revenir et se présente comme une étape incontournable selon les visiteurs.
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.
This is a very nice, somewhat secluded courtyard that is fully enclosed (except for the open sky) & protected from the randomness of the city.
The food is very good. I wouldn't say outstanding but it's definitely worth a return visit (IMO). The menu is small which help make choosing easier & the sangria was very nice. The price of everything seemed very reasonable as well.
The server the that we had was busy but very polite & helpful. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience.
The DJ music playing was loud but focused out the main entrance so not echoing within the courtyard.
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.
Such a great spot!
Had a lovely time at this restaurant. The terrace has a perfect vibe for a night out with friends. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, with great music playing in the background that added to the experience without being too loud. The food was delicious, & the staff were friendly & attentive. Definitely a place I'd come back to, especially for a summer night out!
As a local Montrealer we are so spoiled to have this new spot open in the city ! Everything is great from the service to the food to the music ! A true Old port experience !

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!
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!
