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.
Following a viewing of the film'American Psycho,' I was fortunate enough to secure a reservation at Dorsia last night. The evening was made truly exceptional by the impeccable service provided by Lucas, Florence, & Mathias, who ensured a remarkable dining experience. The culinary offerings were outstanding. We commenced our meal with the grilled octopus, an excellent appetizer. For the main course, I selected the Paccheri pasta, while my friend enjoyed the duck crown à l'orange. Both dishes were prepared to perfection & entirely delicious.
The restaurant's ambiance was equally impressive; the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food, & a beautiful setting makes Dorsia a standout establishment. I am already looking forward to my next visit.
Nous avons passé une soirée exceptionnelle dans ce restaurant ! La nourriture était absolument délicieuse du début à la fin - tout ce que nous avons mangé était vraiment excellent.
Le service était impeccable. Nous avons eu la chance d'être servis par Guillaume, & honnêtement, si vous réservez, demandez-le sans hésiter. C'est un serveur extraordinaire : professionnel, attentif, super sympathique & il connaît le menu par coeur. Il nous a parfaitement guidés dans nos choix de repas & de boissons. Wow, vraiment un service hors pair !
Nous étions là pour un souper d'équipe de travail & tout le monde a adoré : le menu, le service, l'ambiance & même la beauté du restaurant. C'est splendide, chaleureux & parfaitement exécuté.
Je vous le conseille à 100 %. Une expérience impeccable du début à la fin !

I recently had dinner at Dorsia in Montreal & was genuinely impressed. We ordered the octopus & the steak, & both dishes were absolutely delicious with surprisingly generous portions. Yes, it's expensive, but you definitely get your money's worth. The atmosphere & décor were stylish & inviting, but what truly made the evening exceptional was the service. Our waitress, Florence, went above & beyond. She was attentive, friendly, & incredibly knowledgeable, elevating the entire experience. I will definitely be back.
I went to Dorsia with the expectation of an elegant experience... & honestly, I left completely disappointed.
For starters, the place is beautiful, yes, but the service was slow & pretentious. It seemed that the waiters were more focused on showing off than on attending. They took a long time to bring even the water, & anything you asked for seemed to be annoying.
Food does not justify exaggerated prices at all. I ordered homemade pasta & arrived warm, tasteless, as if she had been left resting for too long. The duck dish - which is supposed to be one of its forts - was dry & unfunny. Honestly, I have eaten much better in many simpler restaurants.
The expensive cocktails for what they are, & the atmosphere is too noisy for a place that is supposed to'fine dining.'.
In summary:
❌ The bad thing I experienced
Slow service & not attentive.
Unflavored dishes & warm served.
Prices totally disproportionate to quality.
Noisy & uncomfortable environment.
Lots of appearance, little substance.
Because of the price & fame, I was expecting something memorable... & the only memorable thing was disappointment.
Llegas y te dan'tiempo para comer' la comida llega tarde, despues que no que te puedes quedar mas tiempo por que no llegaron sus otros clientes.
Al final no puedes pagar tu factura separada no gracias jamas regreso
Guillaume delivered outstanding service during our visit. He's professional, attentive, & genuinely committed to giving guests a great experience. Everything was smooth, well-timed, & thoughtful. You can tell he takes pride in his work, & it truly reflects the high standards of the restaurant.
Dorsia is lucky to have someone like him on the team.
Dorsia was absolutely incredible. Guillaume's service in particular made the visit all the more worth it. Food was delicious, service was fantastic. Can't recommend enough.

This French restaurant that I happened to choose when arriving in Montreal. I would like to say that their service was truly excellent. Thank you very much. It had a great atmosphere. The Agnolotti pasta tasted great. I would recommend the apricot cake instead. It has a very nice texture.
J'ai mangé dans ce restaurant lors d'une soirée entre copines. La serveuse Rihanna nous a tellement bien accueilli, elle était adorable & chaleureuse. Elle nous a procuré beaucoup de bonheur & de joie lors de cette soirée & je tenais à souligner son excellent travail.

Je suis venu manger hier soir avec mes copines & je voudrais remercier la serveuse Rihanna avec son excellent service & sa joies elle a fait ma soirée , vraiment elle mérite une promotion! & La nourriture étais excellent.
This was the best restaurant experience I ever had. Everybody is making you feel so important & the food was extraordinary. Maude is the nicest & gives the most exquisite service. She made our name memorable, honestly everybody did.
If you're someone who can feel not welcome enough in those luxurious environment, they will change that for you as soon as you open the door.
So grateful to everyone!
Une expérience absolument fantastique chez Dorsia hier soir! Service impeccable, merci à Guillaume notre serveur, magnifique restaurant, nourriture délicieuse & atmosphère très trendy! Définitivement un restaurant à essayer & à retourner encore & encore!
This restaurant was really great, it was fancy & high end, but the food was excellent & not in tiny portions like most other high end restaurants. It was the perfect amount of experimental but flavourful, they didn't have any crazy odd food pairings, so its safe for people who don't have an adventurous palette, but also has some interesting dishes to try if you're daring.
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.
