Wonderful, new (last Nov) restaurant. My wife & I visited last week & had a great time. The restaurant is just beautful & has a real Modern feel to it. Lots of light from the windows, cool ceilings & a nice bar area. Service was impeccable & the food was very good.
A manager came over after dinner to see if there was anything that we needed. 'Well, do you have tiramisu?' She replied no, but immediately told me they would make one for me in their bakery. 10 min later, an extremely classic, tasty tiramisu made it to our table. Merci! Just over the top.
Highly recommend reservations & by the time we left at 8pm, the place was absolutely packed.
Would not return. I tried several dishes from Celeste. The steak was disappointing, they serve you 6 small slices of meat & nothing else for $75. Not even a cup of fries.. the meat was bland & flavourless. The prices are steeeep. Cocktails are $26 a person. You are looking at $150 a person easily if you select an appetizer & main dish. The decor is cute, but the prices do not match the quality of the food. Do not see this place lasting
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. ✨

Sadly we had a really bad experience here. We came for a bachelorette that had been booked for weeks, we had to wait 20 minutes to be sat. We were not offered a drink or anything while waiting. Upon seating the restaurant was so loud we couldn't even talk to each other across the table only those beside us. Our server didn't even greet us when she came to the table just asked for our drink order & food order. Food tasted good but truly it was overpriced, $70 before tip for a pasta & small veggie side, no drinks, no appetizer. The price is unjustified with the poor standard of service. Nice ambience but that's all this place has, good looks.
Worst customer service ever. Tried to call for a reservation because the website was not working. I got put on hold, then they hung up on me. Called back 2 other times & no one answered.
Céleste est un restaurant haut de gamme situé au centre-ville de Montréal, qui se démarque par son ambiance élégante & son approche moderne de la cuisine. Dès l'arrivée, on remarque que l'endroit mise beaucoup sur le design : éclairage soigné, décor raffiné & atmosphère chic qui donne directement une impression de restaurant d'expérience plutôt qu'un simple souper classique.

🍽? L'expérience culinaire
La cuisine de Céleste est souvent décrite comme créative & soignée, avec des plats qui mélangent des influences européennes & contemporaines. Les assiettes sont très bien présentées, presque comme des oeuvres d'art, & chaque plat semble pensé dans les détails.
On retrouve généralement :
* des plats raffinés avec des ingrédients de qualité
* des portions plus petites mais très travaillées
* une présentation très esthétique
* des desserts élégants & bien équilibrés
C'est clairement un restaurant où la présentation est aussi importante que le goût.

Lots of big groups at the restaurant! Not too noisy.
Since everything looks very appealing with clearly Italian sourced ingredients, it was very helpful to ask the waiters recommendations between the choices I was interested in.
The food was amazing, the pub had a great atmosphere, & our server, Anthony, was the best. He was friendly, attentive, & made our experience even better. Highly recommended!
Première visite avec des amies, je n'avais pas trop d'attentes n'ayant pas entendu parler de ce restaurant avant. Le menu, tout ce qu'on a partagé était exquis. La présentation, la portion, & surtout les saveurs. Tout y était. Le service était attentionné, discret & sympathique. Sans pression, les reccos de notre serveur sur la carte étaient à point! Le restaurant est spacieux, lumineux & agréable. J'y retournerai & je recommande vivement, belle adresse au centre-ville.
