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.

5.0

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!

We had dinner here today (June 30, 2026). We had made a reservation to celebrate a birthday, but unfortunately our experience was disappointing.

The service was poor. There were long delays before both our appetizers & main courses arrived, & we repeatedly had to remind the staff to refill our water & serve our wine.

The most disappointing part came after our main course. When it was time for dessert, the server brought a dessert only for the birthday guest without asking for her preference or whether anyone else at the table would like dessert. No coffee or after-dinner drinks were offered either, which made the celebration feel like an afterthought.

The food was just okay, nothing exceptional.

Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially for a special occasion.

Delicious food & great atmosphere! We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share (meatballs, tartare, fried eggplant, lobster salad) & I also shared a lobster & scallop risotto with my sister. The dessert was great too. Loved the panna cotta. Would go back for another special occasion!
