Une expérience tout simplement exceptionnelle du début à la fin.

Nous sommes venus célébrer l'anniversaire de ma conjointe en famille, & tout a été parfaitement orchestré. L'accueil chaleureux dès notre arrivée donne le ton, & le service est irréprochable tout au long de la soirée. Notre serveuse a été attentionnée, professionnelle & d'une grande gentillesse - un service fluide, précis & humain, exactement ce qu'on attend d'un restaurant haut de gamme.

Que dire du filet mignon… absolument incroyable. Une cuisson parfaite, une tendreté remarquable, une viande savoureuse & fondante en bouche. Chaque bouchée était un vrai moment de plaisir. Les desserts, quant à eux, sont tout simplement à se damner : raffinés, équilibrés & magnifiquement exécutés.

Les portions ne sont pas excessives, mais la qualité est exceptionnelle, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus mémorable. Chaque assiette est pensée, maîtrisée & servie avec élégance.

Un énorme merci pour la petite attention délicate offerte à ma conjointe pour son anniversaire - un geste très apprécié qui démontre un réel souci du détail & de la clientèle.

Bref, une expérience culinaire remarquable, tant pour la cuisine que pour le service. Nous repartons comblés & avec une seule envie : revenir très bientôt.

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.

Verdict: A definite must-try.

I had an incredible evening at Dorsia, hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, & inviting. But what truly elevated the night was the outstanding service we received from Ben, our waiter.

Even though he was juggling a few large groups, Ben made us feel like we were his top priority. He was attentive without being intrusive, & his energy & kindness truly set the tone for a special evening. From start to finish, he took care of every detail with a genuine smile & made us feel so welcome.

The food? Absolutely amazing. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared & bursting with flavor. You can tell the kitchen team takes real pride in what they do. What also stood out was how knowledgeable the entire staff was about the menu. They answered every question with confidence & gave recommendations that hit the mark perfectly.

Another highlight of the night was the sommelier, who knows his craft. He helped us choose the perfect wine to pair with our meal, not only matching the flavors beautifully but also enhancing the entire dining experience with his passion & insight.

Dorsia is a place that not only serves exceptional food but also creates a memorable experience through top-tier service, ambiance, & expertise. Can't wait to go back!

A real hidden gem in Old Montreal! The attention to details is phenomenal. The interior designer & the art is absolutely incredible which sets the tone on a beautiful experience. Service was excellent, from the moment we walked in to leaving they were very attentive & made us feel at home. Food portion was small but the quality was at a high level. Prices are great for the quality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great fine dining experience to visit Dorsia! Their music selection is also a nice bonus adding on to the overall dinner.

Let's start with the food: exquisite, a word so frequently misused it often feels hollow. But not here. The amuse-bouche-a delicate arrangement of sea urchin, caviar, & a whisper of Meyer lemon-was so ethereal, it felt like I was eating stardust. The main course? An herb-crusted lamb rack paired with an aged Bordeaux reduction that could have brought Nietzsche himself to tears. It was the kind of meal that makes you ponder the futility of existence, then promptly forget it as you revel in your next perfectly executed bite. The dessert, a deconstructed lavender panna cotta, was so sublime I considered framing the plate rather than letting the busboy take it away. The ambiance? Immaculate. Warm, muted lighting cast over sleek, minimalistic decor that suggested wealth without screaming it-a detail I respect. The clientele was... acceptable. A mix of high-powered executives & impeccably dressed women sipping martinis with such precision you'd think it was choreographed. The music? A discreet mix of Miles Davis & Vivaldi, a soothing backdrop that never once overpowered the muted hum of power & privilege. What truly sets Dorsia apart, though, is the service. The waiter, who had a jawline sharp enough to rival mine, attended to my every whim with the sort of reverence I deserve. My water glass never dipped below half-full. My wine pairings were so on point they bordered on clairvoyance. I tipped generously, of course-anything less would be gauche. Would I recommend Dorsia? Not to Paul Allen. He wouldn't understand the nuanced brilliance of the chef's approach, nor would he grasp the importance of a reservation. But to those who can, & do, aspire to greatness-yes. Absolutely.

Beautiful restaurant & delicious food, but sadly we were disappointed by the service. We came to celebrate a birthday & notified the staff, as we had seen people receiving dessert with a lit candle. We ended up receiving our dessert without a candle, because they had supposedly "ran out" of them. About 10 minutes later, the big table right next to us received their dessert with a candle. Kind of weird that they would "find" candles for some clients but not for others. Although this might seem like an insignificant detail, it really affected our experience as we had booked specifically to celebrate a birthday. Also had to ask to be served bread, which appeared to be served automatically to other tables. Not really the kind of experience you expect from a high-end restaurant.

The place has an old school decor. Chairs weren't really comfortable there isn't a back support. I know too much details! When we arrived we took our coat. I used valet cause it's always a nightmare to park in this area & it cost the same as a parking! We were a group for my friends' birthday it took a moment for them to figure out our tables for us to be together. Once we ordered our drinks it took a moment for the waiter to take our order. The waiter that we had was a bit socially awkward & not very attentive. But the rest of the staff were amazing. I ordered the beet salad it was good & I had to ask for bread. My friend ordered a burrata & I found it weird it wasn't served with bread. They offered the bread with a homemade butter with seaweed. It tasted weird but they also offered olive oil. I took a plate of pasta Agnolotti it was good! I took a mocktail margarita it was ok & overall it was well priced. We felt the plate was a bit small for our appetite.

Un restaurant d'exception ! What a fabulous restaurant. The attention to details is remarkable. From the design which has a very Contemporary European feel to it, with high quality fabrics, material & design, to the Art Collection which has been curated as for an elegant home or an Art Gallery, to the choice of cutlery, china & glassware. All with a common trait of elegance, high quality & great design. Everything has been well thought out, including the music selection which was broadcasted throughout a great sound system. The food is creative, tasty & elegant without being fussy, is served with a team of professionals. I left the restaurant thinking, what a great time we had... a real treat & for those who appreciate high quality & attention to details, a feast for the soul.

The manager & his staff (receptionist, maitre d'hotel, waiters & chef) thanks to their warm welcome, professionalism & passion offered us a top-notch experience. The staff was always smiling & attentive to details. The chef & his brigade master their techniques & seasonings. The interior is elegant, sober & efficient where several tables are available with diffrent capacities (2,4,6... pax) spaced out reasonably. I recommend the Lamb Duo!

This isn't my first time here, & it certainly won't be my last. The service is great, & each dish is beautifully presented, made with exquisite ingredients, & explained in detail by our waiter. The tables are spacious, allowing us to share meals & creating an intimate atmosphere at our table, which adds an extra touch of luxury to the place. You can feel the chemistry among the team, which makes the ambiance even more enjoyable. General Manager Amine welcomed us warmly, as always. I can't wait to go back!

This is a really beautiful new restaurant in Montreal. It's very pretty inside & the service is amazing. We went there to celebrate my friends graduation & they really took great care of us. Attention to detail is definitely their priority. I wasn't impressed with the food but the cocktails were delicious. If you're in the city, you should definitely give it s try!
