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.

The restaurant is trying, & the menu sounds inventive, but it didn't deliver on what it advertised. Not only was the serving of burrata meager, the tomatoes were mealy in texture & the dish should have been accompanied by some salt. The pasta special for the night was advertised as having maitake mushrooms, but I couldn't taste it. Moreover, the raviolis were garnished with thin slices of button mushrooms. This looked cheap, didn't add any flavor, & had no color charisma. The duck leg Cavalli didn't taste like duck at all! & the texture of the meat was like ground veal or pork In fact, I think it was one of those two meats. & there was insufficient micro basil on this dish. Very disappointing experience

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!

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.
