Review Summary

Celeste is widely regarded as a premier dining destination in Montreal, celebrated for its stunning, elegant decor and vibrant, upscale atmosphere that creates a memorable experience for guests. While the majority of diners praise the high-quality, flavorful Italian-inspired cuisine and attentive, professional service, a minority of reviewers have noted inconsistencies regarding pacing and service speed during busier periods. Despite these occasional remarks on wait times or portion sizes, the restaurant remains a highly recommended spot for special occasions and social gatherings due to its sophisticated design, impressive wine list, and consistently delicious, thoughtfully prepared dishes.

The food & atmosphere at Celeste were outstanding! My husband & I had the carpaccio appetizer, & we shared the branzino as it was a large dish. Everything was flavorful, & the branzino was especially nice as it was a delicious dish. We celebrated a special occasion & were brought a very nice dessert! Thank you so much for making the evening such a memorable occasion. We will definitely return & would certainly recommend!

Celeste is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. The space is absolutely beautiful, elegant, & full of the best energy. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated.
The food is always incredible, my favourite has to be the branzino tartare & the fungi pasta!! The cocktails are delicious I go for a negroni, & the service made the whole experience feel effortless. It's one of those places that feels special the moment you walk in. If you're looking for amazing food, elevated vibes, & a memorable night out, Celeste is a must. Already looking forward to my next visit. ✨

Celeste is one of those places that makes a night out with friends memorable. You'll remember where you sat & what you ate because the experience leaves a mark. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice the beautiful decor, the perfect lighting, the open, clean kitchen & smiling staff. Our waiter was funny & attentive & made wonderful suggestions. We ordered a good portion of the menu between 5 of us so we could taste everything & not a single dish was less than delectable. We were fighting over the branzino tartare & we ordered 2! Even the wine was perfect. The owners were very present & ensured that every patron was satisfied & taken care of. The head chef, Michael, who we discovered from his adjoining restaurant, Amea, ensured that our dishes were everything we hoped for. Everything he makes is a guaranteed delight. We will absolutely be back many times over. I highly recommend this beautiful restaurant. Come hungry!

Phenomenal service from Victor!! Exquisite flavour from Frank & his chef! If there is one dish that you need to get it's the branzino. Ambience off the charts. 100/10 recommend!! This place accommodates it all, date nights, girls night, or family night, it's the perfect place ❤?
