Cappello receives high marks for its breathtaking city views, sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere, and a menu that frequently pleases with well executed Italian dishes and a standout tiramisu, while the wine list and cocktails get consistent praise. The experience is often described as memorable and well suited for special occasions, with service commonly noted as attentive and professional, though some visits mention slower pacing during busy periods and occasional missteps in timing or presentation. A common thread notes that prices can be high for the portions or certain dishes, and a few criticisms point to underseasoned or overly fatty items, yet many dishes are described as delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Overall, Cappello's dramatic views and engaging ambiance are the defining draw, making it a spot many would return to for a special night, provided expectations align with the moment.
We were out celebrating a colleagues birthday. There was a little screw-up with the online reservation but thankfully it was mid week & they were gracious to accommodate us.
The atmosphere was great, we had a wonderful table & the view was spectacular. I have just one comment about tables facing a wall, & it goes for most restaurant designs, they should always have a mirror on the back wall so everyone feels part of the atmosphere. Nobody wants to ever face a wall, change that & everyone is happy & feels part of the vibe.
The food was great, but our experience with the staff was the highlight of the evening.
Thank you to Luca for taking great care of us & especially singing a wonderful Happy Bday song at the table... he was great, don't listen to other guests who said the opposite.
I definitely would return, if not just for Luca ;)
Went for drinks & tiramisu! Truly enjoyed the whole experience. We felt welcome from the first moment (lovely long brown haired lady at the door) untill leaving the restaurant. Carl from the bar was amazing & made me one of the best margaritas in my life! Great views & vibe. Would come again to try the food!:)) thanks!
Shotout to bar manager Carl for great cocktails & service. My companion said that her margarita was the best one she has ever had. Carl surprised her with fruity margharita with a touch of spice & smokey flavour. Beautiful scenery & great vibes. I highly recommend!
A Montréal restaurant with unbeatable views & amazing service! If you are looking for the perfect Saturday night spot in Montréal, then Cappello is a must-visit. My friends & I had an incredible experience that balanced a high-end atmosphere with truly warm hospitality.
The Atmosphere & View:
The first thing you'll notice is the stunning panoramic view of the city. Whether you're seated by the window or grabbing a drink at the bar, the vibe is sophisticated yet lively. It's easily one of the best atmospheres in the city for a night out!
The Food & Drinks:
We explored a variety of the menu, & nothing disappointed:
• The Pasta: We tried both the Gnocchi (so pillow-soft!) & the Spaghetti. Both were cooked to perfection.
• Chicken Parm: Crispy, flavorful, & a total crowd-pleaser.
• The Standout: They served what I can confidently say is the best Tiramisu I've had in this city (so far). You cannot leave without ordering it!
• Cocktails/Mocktails: The drink menu is creative & beautifully presented.
Amazing Service!
A massive shoutout to our waiter, Alessandro. He was the highlight of our evening! He was extremely professional & kind. One of my friends doesn't eat pork or anything cooked with alcohol, & Alessandro went above & beyond to accommodate her, offering thoughtful options & ensuring she had a great meal.
While the service was a bit slow due to the Saturday rush, the staff more than made up for it with their incredible hospitality. It's rare to find a place that cares this much about the guest experience.
Final Verdict: a solid 9/10. We'll absolutely be coming back. If you're a local Montrealer or just visiting, please put this restaurant on your list!
What an experience! This is not your ordinary'going out to dinner night' ... This was an evening of enjoyment for the eyes (the breath taking views of Montreal from the 46th floor), the designer rich but not pretentious decor, the glass wall kitchen, the bar.... the good vibe ambience, the comfy leather chairs & then...we tasted creative or innovative, I don't know what word to use but this was not ordinary Italian food. Every dish & every bite was amazingly delicious!
Oh & the service was impeccable as well as the drinks & the wines. The endives & poched pears salade, the octopus with the little red sweet peppers, the Dorade Carpaccio, the veal crustini, the meat balls made with short ribs, the pastas & the amazing veal côtelette... The desserts, simply divine. We were a few people so we could taste everyone's plates. This evening was really a celebration for all our senses. & to top it all, Chef Gary came to ask us if everything met our expectations. The only word that came to mind was PERFECTION! BRAVO CAPPELLO & all the team. We will be back.

Cappello - where to begin… WHAT. A. NIGHT!
From the refined yet approachable dishes to the lively, electric atmosphere & the warm, attentive service … Everything was close to perfection. The Branzino was simply divine, a must-try. The entire evening was filled with laughter, smiles, & good vibes. I completely lost track of time, looked up, & remembered I was dining on the 44th floor, sur-real. Kudos to the entire team for creating such a memorable experience. Truly, a night to remember.
