Dorsia is a new restaurant & yet it is already doing really well: superb food, superb service, prime ingredients, elite technique (perfected textures, judicious seasoning). Elegant restaurant & yet comfortable, which is what you are looking for. This was my first visit at this restaurant, & I think that if they keep their standards as high as what I have experienced on that dinner, then you have right there one of the best restaurants of Montreal. Great addition to the Montreal dining scene.

The food, the atmosphere, the service....Everything was top notch. Beef Tartare was great, the Buratta was creamy & super tasty. Pasta was amazing (all of them!) & the desserts were to die for.

Loved my evening at Dorsia, staff is very patient & gives good recommendations. Pricing is fair & food is great, drinks were also very pretty it was perfect for my friend's birthday. Ambiance is good with dimmed lighting & music at a nice volume.

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.

Très bel endroit, élégant & la décoration exceptionnelle & très confortable. On peut s'entendre parler même s'il y a de la musique. Le service tout à fait hors pair & accueillant. Bravo! Nos entrées étaient très bien, par contre les pâtes Pomodoro très moyen & l'assiette d'agneau correct. Le dessert excellent.

THANK YOU AMINE!! Dorsia🤍 is a true culinary gem that offers an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. Every dish is a masterpiece, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality, creativity, & flavor. The duck was a standout-perfectly cooked with a crispy skin & tender, juicy meat that melted in my mouth. The richness of the duck was balanced beautifully with a subtle sweetness that made every bite a delight. Next came the salmon sashimi-a dish that surprised & delighted with its fresh & melting texture, creating a harmonious blend that was both sophisticated & comforting. The scallop ceviche was a revelation. The scallops were incredibly fresh, with a perfect balance of acidity & sweetness. Each bite was light, refreshing, & bursting with flavor, making it a perfect appetizer to whet the appetite. The steak filet mignon tartare was another highlight. The beef was of exceptional quality, finely chopped & seasoned to perfection. The tartare had a rich, robust flavor with just the right amount of spice, making it a dish I would return for again & again. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the service is top-notch. I can't recommend this place enough-every dish is a culinary journey worth taking.

Nice place inside & the service was good but the food is so overrated for the price especially the steak !

From tepid food to weird ambiance - this place is mediocre all around. I really wanted to like it, & the whole "Dorsia" premise is awesome - but just like the literary Dorsia in American Psycho, this one is vapid & devoid of value. It's downright weird with waitstaff bringing a plate to the table asking if we wanted to take a photo... No, I won't be taking a photo of a duck breast tonight, thanks. At this price point, lukewarm food won't do. On the positive side, the bathrooms are great, & so is the location.

Le Dorsia à Montréal est une véritable révélation gastronomique! Dès que vous entrez, vous êtes enveloppé par une ambiance sophistiquée & moderne qui allie luxe & confort de manière exquise. Le design intérieur est un chef-d'oeuvre en soi, créant un cadre parfait pour une soirée inoubliable. La cuisine est simplement sublime. Le chef & son équipe offrent une expérience culinaire innovante, mettant en avant des ingrédients de saison avec une créativité remarquable. Chaque plat est une oeuvre d'art, non seulement pour les yeux mais aussi pour les papilles. Les combinaisons de saveurs sont audacieuses & parfaitement équilibrées, faisant de chaque bouchée une expérience délicieuse. Le service est exceptionnel, & je tiens à souligner le travail remarquable du directeur Amine. Son attention aux détails, son accueil chaleureux, & son engagement envers un service impeccable élèvent l'expérience à un niveau supérieur. Il assure une atmosphère accueillante & raffinée, ce qui fait toute la différence. De plus, les tenues de service des équipes-serveurs, runners & barmen-sont absolument incroyables. Elles reflètent parfaitement le style élégant du restaurant & ajoutent une touche de sophistication à l'ensemble de l'expérience. Que vous soyez en quête d'une soirée romantique, d'une célébration spéciale ou simplement d'un repas exceptionnel, le Dorsia est le choix idéal. C'est plus qu'un restaurant; c'est une destination culinaire incontournable à Montréal. Je recommande vivement cette adresse & j'ai hâte de revenir pour découvrir de nouvelles créations!
