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.

Great meal at Dorsia. Love the environment & the service is really good my only suggestion is to be faster coming around to ask if guests want their bill, we waited a loong time for ours.

What a disappointment, we tried Dorsia yesterday & all I can think about is how did they end up with a Michelin recommendation. Just to be clear, the food was not awful but not worth the price either. The beef tartare was blend clearly missed seasoning, the cavatelli pasta were way too simple & the star of the night: the filet mignon I wish I took a picture, but basically all they cared about was the presentation so it seemed like the steak was not even left to temper which made it super dry. I'd rather have blood in my plate than a dry steak. Also there was a tiny bit of sauce that just dried on the plate you could nit even scrape it off.

As for the service it was fine, however it seemed like the staff were not communicating to each other, 3 times in the night someone came to take a drink order & 2 minutes later somebody else would come to ask again if we wanted something to drink. Is it a big deal? Of course not but not to the level of a Michelin recommendation.

The restaurant is really beautiful & the ambiance is nice, but honestly for this price point there are much better restaurants in the city.

Toute une expérience ! Le service est impeccable du début à la fin. La cuisine, que l'on peut qualifier de gastronomique, est savoureuse & les portions sont étonnamment généreuses. J'en ai été agréablement surprise. Je recommande sans hésiter ! Je suggère vivement de réserver avant de vous déplace
