Une expérience gastronomique incroyable! Un incontournable!
Je recommande ce restaurant pour son ambiance, sa déco, sa gastronomie & sa carte des vins à couper le souffle. Ils ont réussi à créer une atmosphère magique, chaleureuse avec un pouls rythmé bien équilibré. Merci à Laurent, Lucas & Donald de votre accueil, de votre gentillesse & de votre professionnalisme.
Dorsia is such a great spot in Old Montreal! The ambiance is beautiful, the service is amazing, & the food is next level. Everything is so well prepared, with fresh, high quality ingredients. Definitely a place worth visiting for a special night out! Highly recommended!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Mes amis & moi sommes venus durant le temps des fêtes. Bien que la salle était remplie, nous n'avons jamais senti que les serveurs n'avaient pas le temps d'être avec nous, de remplir nos verres & de répondre à toutes nos questions. La nourriture est excellente, les desserts sont magnifiques qui plus est & les conseils pour le vin étaient parfaits. Nous avions des palettes de goûts différents & tout le monde à la table à été très satisfaits des recommandations!
Food, drinks & service are top notch as always, I would definitely recommend anyone to try the Duck a l'orange it was delicious. Cannot wait to come here again!
Incredible! Had the best experience since a long time. Been 3 times we order the duck meat & we're still not over it. Soooo good! Highly recommend. Perfect for date, celebration dinner, casual lunch or little good time downstairs. + they have blue cheese stuffed olives martinis… divine
Very elegant vibe. The service was stunning. Atmosphere was very elevated. Appetizers were great. But pasta was not al dente it was just undercooked. Fish was great. Great cocktail menu with fast service. Atmosphere was sexy would totally recommend a first date here ;)
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.

I'm a tourist in Montreal, was searching for the perfect spot to eat & I got lots of recommendations about Dorsia. But to be honest, Filet Mignon was the only thing I really enjoyed, It was just beyond everything . Dorsia positioned itself as a fine dining restaurant, but I didn't feel it. Usually you expect someone to explain you the dishes & exclusive ingredients that make the dish to taste in a unique way. Unfortunately I didn't get any explanations at all:( As for tartare it was just average & Agnolotti were way too oily for me. Unfortunately neither service nor food left a special impression. Just an expensive place without the soul. Wouldn't come back or recommend Dorsia to someone who is looking to taste & feel real Montreal
Super restaurant sur le vieux port, l'équipe est vraiment à l'écoute & la nourriture y est exquise ! Merci à l'hôtesse Marie pour son écoute concernant la table. Je recommande
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.
Amazing cocktails, friendly service with amazing decoration & most importantly I cannot get over how decadent the mussels were, the tomato base is seasoned perfectly with fresh soft slightly chewy mussels. It is hard to achieve that result but I can definitely say that those were the best mussels I have had in a while. I totally recommend!
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!
One of, if not, the best dining experiences in Montreal. Amazing food, attentive service, & wonderful atmosphere. Perfect for business meals or romantic dinner. It's rarely new, about two months since they opened. Recently started lunch. Highly recommended.
