Phenomenal experience at Dorsia!. While it was a pre-set menu for valentine's day, it did not disappoint. The highlight however, is the attentive staff, be it the servers, hostesses or mixologist, they all distinguished themesleves with their care & attention to detail. Special shout-out to Sebastien at the bar, who was incredibly attentive & knowledgeable- made our experience memorable.
I will leave my original review up so you can understand why we returned. My first experience was so positive that I gathered some friends to return & what a disappointment. From the moment we arrived it was a terrible, terrible experience.From the way we were poorly greeted, to all dishes being barely warm, & pretty bland, it was like a totally different restaurant. Yet the price was super steep so for that reason I would no longer recommend Dorsia. We did share with management our genuine disappointment so hopefully they can level back up .. in the meantime, there are too many other amazing places to eat in Montreal!
An incredible evening & meal! This restaurant delivers on all fronts, chic ambiance, attentive staff, superb cocktails (especially the limencello martini), & incredible food! Not a surprise that they are en route to a Michelin Star. Well deserved!

Que ce soit à l'accueil avec Rihanna & son sourire, ou avec Sébastien & sa précision au bar, vous ne manquerez pas ce service chaleureux & à l'écoute de vos envies. Une cuisine délicate & raffinée qui étonne vos papilles gustatives. La carte des vins offre une sélection remarquable. Laurent fait une recommandation très intéressante concernant les digestifs, ce qui vous permettra de découvrir de nouveaux produits.
Le Dorsia vous offre une soirée parfaite sans faute.
Dorsia offers a warm & welcoming atmosphere, with the entire staff contributing to an excellent experience. The host was friendly & pleasant, & our waiter, Guillaume, was attentive & demonstrated impressive knowledge of the menu.
We began with beef tartare & tuna carpaccio as entrées, both fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. For mains, we ordered the lobster ravioli & lamb, each cooked to perfection, rich in flavor, & artfully plated. The strawberry tart for dessert was a standout, though the entire meal was consistently excellent.
The wine list is well curated, & while we did not try any cocktails, the options looked appealing.
The décor is elegant, with great attention to detail, & the music selection was spot on, even featuring two of my personal favorites. I look forward to returning annd to explore their basement bar in the future.
Very pleasant & welcoming service from the whole staff.
Lobster ravioli, eel & four gras appetizer, & crudo, Maple Forest dessert, & chocolate dessert were all delicious & well presented. The rhubarb send-off dessert was also great.
I think a little more effort could have been put into the presentation of the cavatelli but it was a good portion at least & my friend seemed to enjoy it.
My aviation was a little more sour that it should be but when I mixed the bottom a bit, it wasn't bad. The wine recommendation was perfect.
Decor is gorgeous. Loved that the waiter confirmed that the name is an American Psycho reference. Great retro music. Played two of my favourite Madonna songs. Look forward to checking out their basement bar at some point.
Everything was great sat at the bar, nice vibe & service. Left at midnight asked to go to speakeasy downstairs & they just say no... who the hell do you think you are to say no to 2 girls come down this is monteal no class this place

Best bar in town! The food is absolutely delicious & the drinks are perfectly made. The service was outstanding. Ryannah & Lucas were amazing with my friend & me, & honestly, every server was incredibly kind. It's the first time I've had such a great experience at a restaurant in Montreal. It's officially my favorite spot in the city. It might be a bit pricey, but I swear it's totally worth it.
Dorsia was recommended to us by a bartender at our hotel & we will definitely return.
From the service to the food, Dorsia really surprised us. Everything we ordered was fresh, tasty & exciting. Service was top notch. From the knowledge of the dishes to the recommendations of wines. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend trying this place before it becomes impossible to get a reservation.
Wow. Dorsia produced one of the best overall dining experiences I have had in years. A colleague & I were in Montreal for the first time on a work trip & stumbled on visually stunning Dorsia. Despite having no reservations, the host found us two places at the bar, where the bartenders were exceptional. The food was equally as good. We met a couple of regulars at the bar, who invited us downstairs to Dorsia's new speakeasy, Bowie. Like the restaurant Dorsia upstairs, it totally nailed downstairs what a speakeasy should be. Layout. Decor. DJ. Live Music. Drinks. Clientele. Sadly, we had to work the next day & left at 11 pm, but I am sure the party went well into the night. The next evening, my colleague & I briefly discussed our options for dinner that night & agreed we would do no better than simply returning to Dorsia. When we arrived, all the staff remembered us as if we were longtime regulars. Despite it being a fully-booked Saturday night, they immediately tried to accommodate us, even though even the bar was full. Their solution was to open the speak easy early, where they guided us & comp'd us our drinks until two seats at the bar were available. The second night was just as good as the first. Between us, my colleague & I have easily been to over 100 countries, so we have experienced a pretty remarkable range of places, & in that long list, Dorsia stands out. Well done Dorsia. Keep doing what you are doing.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dorsia, & it was an unforgettable experience. We initially had a reservation at a table, but after meeting Lucas at the bar, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided to stay there instead. The black bass & filet mignon were exceptional, & the drinks were crafted to perfection, making our conversation even better. A special thank you to Lucas for making the evening truly memorable. I'm already looking forward to returning the next time I'm in town.
