Le restaurant Cappello, au 44e étage de la Place Ville Marie, propose une cuisine italienne raffinée avec une vue panoramique spectaculaire sur Montréal.
Cappello offre une vue panoramique sur Montréal et une ambiance raffinée et dynamique, avec un service souvent chaleureux et une carte de cocktails et de vins appréciée. Les plats sont fréquemment décrits comme savoureux et bien exécutés, allant des gnocchi et spaghetti au tiramisu, au chicken parm et aux plats de mer; le cadre et la musique renforcent l’expérience et le personnel fait souvent un effort particulier pour les occasions spéciales. Des avis soulignent toutefois des inconvénients récurrents, tels que des portions parfois petites pour le prix élevé, une certaine irrégularité dans la qualité et des services plus lents lors des soirées chargées, ainsi que des soucis logistiques comme des attentes prolongées ou des erreurs de commande et de réservation. Dans l’ensemble, Cappello est perçu comme un lieu idéal pour une soirée spéciale ou pour profiter d’une vue spectaculaire, avec une expérience qui donne envie de revenir malgré quelques points à améliorer sur le service et le rapport qualité-prix.
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!
This place is so incredible! My spouse took me here for my birthday & I'm so glad this is what they chose. Food was incredible, the space is so pretty with great views of the city, & the service was amazing. Everyone was so friendly & quick. We'll definitely be coming here again!
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 ;)
We went to Cappello for lunch & amazing!The Caesar salad is a classic that never disappoints, & the pasta with vodka sauce was so good. The table d'hôte comes with focaccia, & you can even add a dessert - yes, please! Everything was absolutely delicious, & the view… wow!! I'm definitely coming back, like ASAP!
There's a fine line between creativity & confusion in the kitchen, & unfortunately, @capellomontreal leaned a little too enthusiastically toward the latter.
Italian cuisine has always had a quiet confidence about it - simple ingredients, balanced flavors, & dishes that don't need a long explanation to shine. Here, however, it felt as though every plate was determined to overdo it…
Take the burrata, for example. A lovely ingredient on its own, creamy & delicate. It arrived accompanied by gnocco fritto (deep-fried dough) & a balsamic that somehow tasted like it contained soy. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. It was one of several moments where the food felt'creative for the sake of being creative,' rather than harmonious.
The pinsa wasn't much better. The crust had a burnt bread taste, topped with pepperoni that tasted suspiciously like it had taken a detour through Costco, & any promised garlic flavor also seemed to have gotten lost somewhere along the way.
For our main, we had Radiatori Vodka Piccante. The vodka sauce, which contained sweet breadcrumbs - an unexpected plot twist - & tasted oddly like something that might have come from a jar rather than a simmering pot, also lacked the'Piccante' part.
Dessert brought us a tiny $18 tiramisu that appeared to have been extended with extra cream, arrived slightly hard as if freshly thawed, & for reasons unknown, contained chocolate chunks. Not offensive, just… puzzling.
Service also had a slightly frantic energy. Within the first ten minutes of sitting down, we were visited three times - including once within the first thirty seconds asking if we were ready to order. At 5:30 p.m., with the restaurant nearly empty, it felt less like attentiveness & more like we might be gently encouraged to eat quickly & move along.
Add to that a few small but noticeable details - shaky tables & water glasses that weren't quite clean when we sat - & the overall experience didn't quite match the price point. The plating was also surprisingly simple for dishes positioned at this level.
In the end, one can't help but wonder if the prices are influenced more by the view & the high-rent location than by what arrives on the plate.
Our rating is higher than it should be due to the fact that the cocktails were pretty solid. Same bar as the other two restaurants above it. We would reccomend skipping all three for food, & just drink at the bar instead.

Was pleasantly surprised, was expecting an overhyped restaurant because of beautiful view. Food was quiet tasty, playlist was really vibing (r&b 00s), nice atmosphere. Best dishes: steak, veal tonnato, radiatori spicy pasta & tiramisu (different but very tasty)
I came here for my birthday a few days ago & here are my comments. This resto is where Enfants Terrible used to be & on the positive, it has a great views of the city & a nice ambiance at night. I made a reservation.
The menu is ok, it could be more interesting for the prices but I took the most expensive thing, the ribs in the sauce with the fries. I liked the taste but it could have been better presented, it was really hard to cut with all the fat on it & on the bone like that, I didn't like that. Cesar salad was good but not enough toppings were on it. The salmon plate was good.
The service was good, the guy came semi-regularly.
Overall, worth a one-time visit but not something I'd come back to regularly.
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!
Fantastic evening at Cappello! We were two couples & had an amazing time. The food was outstanding, the cocktails were delicious & perfectly balanced, & the wine list offered is packed with excellent selections. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the city & great music, creating a wonderful atmosphere. We really enjoyed our night & will definitely be back!

Cappello made for a lovely evening, with beautiful views that immediately set the mood. We started with a white fish carpaccio that was delicately seasoned, followed by parmesan chicken & salads that were flavorful, & nicely balanced. The food was excellent, & the wine list offered plenty of good options to pair with the meal. Service was welcoming, & while it's definitely on the pricier side, the combination of great dishes, nice wine, & scenic setting made it feel like a special experience worth splurging on.
Everything was perfect. Ambiance, quality of the food, our waiter Selina was amazing. The views are incredible. Don't usually write reviews but good places like this & their chefs deserve the credit 🤌🏼
Firstly, wonderful view of the city & Mont royal. Secondly, the food was incredibly delicious, especially the chicken parm & the grilled carrots. Great selection of wine, & a very friendly atmosphere & staff
Sometimes places like this with an impressive view are lacking in other areas. Not here! The view of Montreal was great & just as awesome were the service, food, & drinks. Several servers handled different states of our ordering/experience. They always arrived at just at the right time with excellent attention to detail.
Meh … that's the word to describe it.
The decor & view is very nice ! 4/5 stars. The food was really not impressive . Chicken Parm was terrible. Inedible. Vodka pasta was very mediocre .
Entres also nothing stood out .
Drinks… we ordered a few martinis . Asked for a vodka one .. they said they use belvedere which I like . But I found it weird that they charged us 4$ extra per drink because of this. Same for a gin martini they say they use Hendrix only but charge 4$ extra per drink . I also found it very weird that they charged us for extra olives .. how ridiculous! Especially when the wait for each drink was incredibly long !!
So basically I won't be going back …
Super nice location & view of the city, attentive staff, delicious dishes & variety, only downside is the labyrinth it is to get there! Overall recommended spot.
I came here because I saw it on the Montreal trending list, expecting a trendy restaurant with a beautiful view & mediocre food. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the food was delicious! I liked everything I ate & don't have anything negative to say. The pasta dishes varied considerably in size, assuming that stuffed pasta is considered more filling, so just keep that in mind if you have a big appetite. Overall, would recommend this place & I'd definitely be back!
