Review Summary

Dorsia is widely regarded as a premier dining destination in Old Montreal, celebrated for its elegant atmosphere, refined decor, and exceptional service. Many patrons praise the creative, high-quality menu, particularly highlighting the steak, seafood dishes like the octopus and oysters, and the impressive cocktail program. While the restaurant is frequently lauded for its professionalism and attention to detail, which often makes it a top choice for special occasions, some diners have noted inconsistencies regarding pacing and occasional service delays. Despite a few mixed reviews concerning value or wait times, the majority of visitors describe their time at the restaurant as a memorable, top-tier experience that justifies its inclusion in the Michelin Guide.

We ordered the duck, foie gras & the sea bream risotto. The sea bream risotto was really tasty, however the duck & the foie gras were not as tasty as I expected. The service was excellent & the ambiance of the restaurant is amazing, very quiet & spacious.

5 stars all the way!

Service is the soul of any business & the heart beat. Each team member harmonized professionalism & playfulness. They were all genuinely warm. Thank you Bun, Jules, Nicole, Rhianna, Lucas, Laurent & a cast of others who we didn't meet & are equally important.

Once the stage was set by the cast of stars, the food became the main attraction. We enjoyed 3 show stoppers. 1) The duck was divine ~ the skin is crisp & succulent. With such a rich dish, the hint of orange zest adds the perfect balance. 2) The sea bass was equally perfect. The meat was moist & flavour-filled & contrasted beautifully with the savoury crispy skin. 3) The tuna carpaccio is a must- enjoy. It was light & especially refreshing with citrus infused gelatine beads which melt in your mouth & taste like heaven.

Bravo to the entire team at the front & back of house. It was an exceptional evening!

Une note de 10/10 plus que méritée pour le restaurant Dorsia! C'est simple, il s'agit de mon restaurant préférer suite à ma première visite avec mon conjoint début octobre. Guillaume, notre serveur de coeur nous donne à tout coup un service hors pair digne des plus grandes tables du monde! Bref, une expérience gastronomique que je recommande grandement si vous chercher une adresse ou découverte rime avec excellence!

One of the more elegant restaurants in Montreal serving mostly traditional French cuisine with a few delicious twists. The staff was very efficient, attentive, & genuinely warm.

The ambiance is exceptional & the noise level is moderate to subdued which makes for a pleasant dining experience.

They also have an extensive wine list & Laurent, the sommelier, was very helpful in pairing wine to food.
