Une expérience tout simplement exceptionnelle du début à la fin.
Nous sommes venus célébrer l'anniversaire de ma conjointe en famille, & tout a été parfaitement orchestré. L'accueil chaleureux dès notre arrivée donne le ton, & le service est irréprochable tout au long de la soirée. Notre serveuse a été attentionnée, professionnelle & d'une grande gentillesse - un service fluide, précis & humain, exactement ce qu'on attend d'un restaurant haut de gamme.
Que dire du filet mignon… absolument incroyable. Une cuisson parfaite, une tendreté remarquable, une viande savoureuse & fondante en bouche. Chaque bouchée était un vrai moment de plaisir. Les desserts, quant à eux, sont tout simplement à se damner : raffinés, équilibrés & magnifiquement exécutés.
Les portions ne sont pas excessives, mais la qualité est exceptionnelle, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus mémorable. Chaque assiette est pensée, maîtrisée & servie avec élégance.
Un énorme merci pour la petite attention délicate offerte à ma conjointe pour son anniversaire - un geste très apprécié qui démontre un réel souci du détail & de la clientèle.
Bref, une expérience culinaire remarquable, tant pour la cuisine que pour le service. Nous repartons comblés & avec une seule envie : revenir très bientôt.
Phenomenal dining experience. Refined yet relaxed atmosphere & decor.
Server Guillaume was the best waiter I have had in a restaurant, very attentive & knowledgeable.
Food was exceptional. Delicious variety of appetizers (I recommend the Mille fueille with chicken liver mousse) & pasta. Both seafood & steaks were cooked & seasoned excellently.
Cocktails were very good as well, with a broad selection of wine, my personal favorite was the Negroni with olives.
Dessert left much to be desired was our only gripe with this other excellent restaurant.
Bathrooms & facilities were also in notably great condition.
This was one of the best dining experiences all around I've ever had. This restaurant alone can make a trip to Montreal worth it.

Had a good experience at Dorsia. Heard a lot about it & was happy to try it out.
First of all - the place is truly beautiful, well designed & tasteful layout.
The service was good. We tried a few different dishes. The highlight was the red beet agnolotti & tuna carpaccio were standout dishes: unique presentation, texture & flavours.
Yummy yummy food, wine & cocktails, too bad they made us feel rushed during the meal because we had to free the table for the next group. Server tried pulling my plate away before I even finished. Long wait between services.
Que ce soit à l'accueil avec Rihanna & son sourire, ou avec Sébastien & sa précision au bar, vous ne manquerez pas ce service chaleureux & à l'écoute de vos envies. Une cuisine délicate & raffinée qui étonne vos papilles gustatives. La carte des vins offre une sélection remarquable. Laurent fait une recommandation très intéressante concernant les digestifs, ce qui vous permettra de découvrir de nouveaux produits.
Le Dorsia vous offre une soirée parfaite sans faute.
The place is was nice & ambiance was good BUT The food took way too long to come out...& especially during courses... (our 2nd course were 3 pasta dishes - it shouldn't take close to an hour for this to come out) almost to the point where I was dosing to sleep at the table. It was clear that they were having issues in the kitchen because the staff also seemed stressed.
The food was okay, not outstanding & missing some flavors that tie the dishes together.
Our server, I think his name was Guillaume was amazing though, 5 stars for him. He joked with us, was very conversational & was attentive after realizing we were looking quite bored/tired from waiting for our food that he went to the back to double check the status of some of our courses.
If it wasn't for the delay of food... which it seems is a common theme based on the other reviews, maybe the food would've tasted better to us but having to wait nearly 45 min to an hour for each course left a sour taste & unfortunately we didn't really enjoy.
The reality is after waiting for so long for our first course we just sadly waited for the whole dinner to finish so we can go home to sleep...

Un excellent service, je suis à Montréal depuis cinq ans, je voyage beaucoup à travers le Canada & franchement c'est le meilleur resto rapport qualité, nourriture & service. Je tiens à souligner le service du directeur Laurent & du serveur Guillaume qui ont été plus que remarquable, & je tiens aussi à souligner le service de Matthias qui a été super avec tout le pain ramené lors de la soirée
Great experience from A to Z.
Very good food, warm & professional service, very complete & qualitative wine list. Last but not least, a very good price/quality ratio!
A very credible alternative to Lemeac when in Montreal!
My girlfriend & I just came to Dorsia for her birthday & WOW is all we have to say. It is very rare that we find a restoraunt that is worth the price that you pay. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth every penny? ABSOLUTELY!!!! we cannot wait to come back, absolutely amazing food in every course, the wine was phenomenal, the decor of the restoraunt was outstanding & the service was second to none. Coralie was amazing & I praise her service. This place is a must if youre a foodie looking for something new & exciting in the city.

Tout était très bon, les plats sont généreux, le service était très agréable & attentionné. Mon seul bémol est le volume sonore.
Globalement ce fût une belle expérience.
We had an excellent time at this restaurant. Fine dining & flavoured food, every dish was a real pleasure. The welcome was warm, & the service was impeccable from start to finish. A wonderful dining experience, we will definitely be back!
Le personnel est très chaleureux ! De la succulente Rihanna à Lucas, Laurent & j'en oubli ! Très beau & bon travail en cuisine ; la volaille est un must ! J'ai eu la chance d'être avec Guillaume; ce serveur hors pair qui m'a acceuilli en grand comme si je faisais parti de la famille. Choix de vin judicieux par Laurent. C'était impeccable. Longue vie à Dorsia ! Cheers from Trois-Rivières ; qui n'est pas si loin de MtL soit dit en passant
We had a lovely time at Dorsia! Every item on the menu is prepared with such care, & the front-of-house team was professional & friendly. Worth a Michelin star in my book!

The only positive was the food. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by numerous service mistakes. We constantly had to look for our waiter: for water, for proper service of the fish, & even to get the bills right. Overall, the lack of attention & repeated errors made the visit very disappointing.
Quelle belle soirée au Dorsia, l'ambiance était bonne & la nourriture succulente!
Notre serveuse Ophélie était attentionnée, très gentille & professionnelle, elle a rendu notre expérience au Dorsia encore plus mémorable!
Nous allons définitivement retourner à votre restaurant!
Franchement, Dorsia, c'est beaucoup de fla-fla pour absolument rien. Un resto qui se prend pour un autre, mais qui n'arrive même pas à livrer le minimum. Le décor essaie d'être chic, mais ça sonne faux, presque prétentieux, comme si on voulait impressionner sans avoir le talent pour suivre.
Le service? Lent, froid & arrogant. On a l'impression que le personnel nous fait une faveur juste en prenant la commande. Aucun sourire, aucune attention, zéro chaleur humaine. À Montréal, on est habitués à mieux que ça.
La bouffe est overpriced & fade. Des assiettes jolies pour Instagram, mais sans âme ni saveur. Portions ridicules, goûts plats, rien qui justifie les prix complètement exagérés. On sort de là en se demandant sérieusement où est passé l'argent.
En résumé, Dorsia, c'est une grosse déception : trop cher, trop prétentieux, pas assez bon. Montréal regorge de vrais bons restos - celui-là n'en fait clairement pas partie. Je ne recommande pas, & je n'y retournerai certainement pas.
Quelle belle soirée au Dorsia. La nourriture était excellente, nous avons pris le canard & le pavé en plat principal, délicieux! Ophélie, notre serveuse, nous a conseillé des fromages & des digestifs pour terminer le repas, excellente recommandation! Elle était si attentionnée & gentille, elle a fait preuve d'un grand professionnalisme & savait répondre à toute nos questions sur le menu. Un restaurant à essayer dès que possible!
The ambiance was great, & the service was amazing. From the hostess to our waitress Florence, everyone took very good care of us. Would recommend this place for sure.
