Very good food, but we got kicked out of the bar with no warning while waiting for a birthday cake because the seats were reserved for another party at 9pm - disappointing client management on a special night :-(
Absolutely amazing experience! Sabrine & Jessica provided the best service from beginning to end. They were incredibly welcoming, attentive, & made us feel so well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious, & the hospitality was truly exceptional. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend - we'll definitely be back!
Celeste is a good restaurant to experience at least once.
We were a group of 4, & everyone gave their own rating at the end of the night, bringing our average to 3.5/5.
The main reason the rating is relatively high is because of three exceptional dishes: the chicken, tuna carpaccio, & salad. Those were genuinely outstanding & definitely the highlights of the meal. The service was also very good, with friendly & attentive staff.
Overall, worth experiencing once, but not somewhere I'd be rushing back to anytime soon.
Nice ambience, good service, very nice restaurant too. But unfortunately food not good for the price, they need to change chef maybe. We had a steak the ribeye for its high price it not worth it at all, sea bass Tatar fresh but not tasty, ravioli was good. Maybe a bad night. Hope they wake up & up the level of the food!!!
Nous étions un groupe d'une dizaine de personnes, & la majorité a commandé une salade. Peu de temps après le repas, presque tout le groupe est tombé malade, avec des symptômes sévères de vomissements & de fortes diarrhées. Le fait que plusieurs personnes ayant consommé le même plat soient tombées malades de façon aussi rapide & simultanée, dès la nuit même après être rentrés, soulève de très sérieuses inquiétudes quant à l'hygiène & à la sécurité alimentaire de l'établissement.
Le rapport qualité-prix est tout simplement indéfendable. Les pâtes étaient facturées 42 $ (avant taxes & pourboire) pour une portion ridiculement petite d'environ 9 morceaux de pâtes (vous pouvez les comptez dans l'image). Une quantité franchement dérisoire pour un plat principal, surtout à ce prix. En plus de cela, le plat était excessivement huileux, au point d'en devenir désagréable à manger.
Sans compter le fait que le service était d'une lenteur inacceptable. Nous avons passé plus de 6 heures dans le restaurant, avec plus d'une heure d'attente entre chaque étape du repas : une heure pour les boissons, deux heures pour les entrées, une heure pour les plats, une heure pour les desserts, puis encore une heure pour recevoir l'addition. Une organisation complètement inefficace & interminable.
Autre point totalement absurde : les mocktails sans alcool ont été facturés exactement au même prix que les cocktails alcoolisés, sans aucune justification ni ajustement. Dans la grande majorité des restaurants, l'absence d'alcool entraîne normalement un prix inférieur ici, aucune différence, ce qui donne une impression de facturation opportuniste & injustifiée.
This was a wonderful restaurant. The space was modern sleek & had a large open kitchen. Seating was comfortable & you could choose indoor or outdoor seating. The wait staff was extremely attentive. My wife & I ordered calamari as an appetizer & it was one of the best I have had. The cannellini bean dip & the pizzaiola sauce were perfect. My wife had the gnudi which were perfect little dumplings in an excellent tomato sauce. I had the linguini vongoli. The linguini was perfectly cooked served with a dozen little neck clams perfectly cooked. Overall a great experience
Celeste is the newest restaurant from the team behind Beatrice & Estelle, & they have created another standout destination in Montreal. The atmosphere is vibrant & energetic. It's the kind of place to see & be seen, with spectacular interior design & beautifully curated furnishings that make the space feel as memorable as the meal.
We were a group of five, including two vegetarians, & everyone had plenty of excellent options to choose from, whether pasta, fish, steak or vegetarian dishes. The menu offers enough variety to satisfy different tastes without losing its identity.
Celeste is more than just dinner. It's an experience & the kind of restaurant that turns an evening out into a memorable occasion.
Everything from the food, to the service & the atmosphere were absolutely spectacular. The dishes was incredibly flavourful & of top-notch quality. Absolutely 0 complaints. Definitely a top restaurant in Montreal.
