Dorsia offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with attentive service and consistently high quality food. Across many visits the vibe ranges from elegant and refined to lively and modern, with a focus on presentation, inventive courses, and a strong wine program. Diners praise precise cooking, thoughtful pairings, and a menu that balances French and Italian influences with local ingredients. While most experiences are top tier, a few mentions of long waits, busy crowds, or mixed pacing during peak periods remind that the kitchen and floor can be stretched on busy nights. Overall the dining experience is described as special and memorable, making it a standout choice in Montreal and a likely destination for celebrations.
I recently visited this restaurant & found the food enjoyable & the ambience quite charming. However, the service was unfortunately below par. Even something as straightforward as ordering a bottle of wine took far longer than expected, & both our main course & desserts were similarly delayed. Despite the appealing atmosphere & well-prepared dishes, the drawn-out wait times significantly impacted the overall dining experience. I hope the restaurant addresses these service issues soon, as it has the potential to be an exceptional place if the service is improved.
Had an amazing experience at this Restaurant. Went to Montreal for a couple of days with my boyfriend from NYC & stumbled upon this gem by walking around. We made a last minute reservation for our anniversary since we were lost in the area. From the moment we stepped in the service was on point. Food was delicious & cocktails/ wine as well. Manager was super attentive & made us a lil note congratulating us on our anniversary. Server pretty much gave us a rundown of what to choose & was top. At the end of our meal we asked for recommendations to go for a last drink & they offered their speak easy downstairs which was just gorgeous to finish the night!! Beautiful evening over all & will always remember this fantastic night. Thank you again to the entire team! Best of luck!!!
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!
We came with my girlfriend for our anniversary on a Tuesday night, it was a memorable experience from A to Z. Very professional & friendly service. The food was outstanding. We appreciated the attention from the manager for our special occasion. We will definitely come back. Ps : at the end of the dinner we got offered to go to their speakeasy downstairs the restaurant, it made our night even more special !
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.

The Cesar salad tasted like water & the cocktails were also flavorless. The duck was cooked beautifully but was under seasoned. The highlight was the mushroom sunchoke medley that came with it however paired together made for a very one note Asian 5 spice flavor. The service was good & the restaurant is beautiful just not really worth the price.
Honestly the place was really nice in terms of design & layout. The vibe was relax & classy. The service was good. We had to wait for a few drinks but that's ok. The food was all at a good temperature but so bland. The drinks were also pretty lackluster. The Cesar salad needs a redesign. Over sauced with a bland sauce, no crunch or anything to add texture. The duck was fine but again needed seasoning. At the price tag for that duck, I've had better in China town for $40. The price to food flavor experience just inst there. I hope this is helpful criticism to help this place improve & be successful.
Wasn't impressed with the quality. The scallops were ok, the filet was the same quality you could find at casa grecque. Lacked seasoning, & felt like it was prepared by an amateur cook
