Une expérience absolument incroyable ! Le Dorsia offre une ambiance élégante & raffinée, parfaite autant pour un souper romantique que pour une soirée entre amis. Chaque plat était un vrai chef-d'oeuvre : des saveurs équilibrées, une présentation impeccable & des produits d'une qualité exceptionnelle. Le service était attentif, chaleureux & professionnel, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus mémorable. Définitivement un des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal - je recommande sans hésiter !

Isabelle a suggéré la morue à la sauce XO. Délicieux. La salade 100Km concoctée avec des produits locaux dans les environs de 100 Km de Montréal était tout aussi succulente. Une adresse à noter, & à revisiter.

Nous avons appris que ce restaurant est ouvert depuis environ 1 an & déjà dans les recommandations Michelin! Excellente nourriture, nous n'avions absolument rien à redire. Les saveurs étaient simplement extraordinaires. L'ambiance était super, la musique des années 80-90-2000, j'ai adore. De plus, le service a été impeccable, merci à tous & plus particulièrement Guillaume Laflamme! Encore une fois, une expérience culinaire sans faute!

Dorsia offers a warm & welcoming atmosphere, with the entire staff contributing to an excellent experience. The host was friendly & pleasant, & our waiter, Guillaume, was attentive & demonstrated impressive knowledge of the menu.

We began with beef tartare & tuna carpaccio as entrées, both fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. For mains, we ordered the lobster ravioli & lamb, each cooked to perfection, rich in flavor, & artfully plated. The strawberry tart for dessert was a standout, though the entire meal was consistently excellent.

The wine list is well curated, & while we did not try any cocktails, the options looked appealing.

The décor is elegant, with great attention to detail, & the music selection was spot on, even featuring two of my personal favorites. I look forward to returning annd to explore their basement bar in the future.

Verdict: A definite must-try.

Dorsia is a highlight around Old Montreal. Despite not having been open that long, it is already on the Michelin Guide, & it isn't without reason. The food is arguably better than other restaurants with stars. The decoration & atmosphere is stunning. The service was amazing from what I observed at our table, & others. The food was very tasty & healthy, & the plating speaks for itself. We went for lunch, their set menu was well priced. Compared to Michelin star restaurants, the only real difference was the ceramics & silverware, but I would choose Dorsia any day over other restaurants with stars within the city. I almost never write reviews, but Dorsia deserves one without reservation.

An amazing experience, from the hostess to the waiters to the sommelier who was brought over even though we asked for a wine by the glass, we were completely taken care of & blown away by the service, not to mention the food which was spectacular. They even gave us some small cakes (mignardises) to bring back to my wife at home, on the house. Kudos to everyone!

Don't understand how this made it into their Michelin Guide. Came in for lunch & every item disappointed.

Nous sommes venus sur les recommandations d'un ami afin de découvrir les desserts, & ce fut une véritable révélation : ils sont tout simplement succulents & nous ont véritablement transportés. Le cadre est magnifique, le service en salle d'une grande attention, & l'équipe en cuisine excelle par la qualité de son travail. Une adresse que je recommande vivement pour un repas raffiné & élégant.

I've heard great things, but it's impossible to get a reservation here, unless, of course, you're friends with Paul Allen.

I had an incredible evening at Dorsia, hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, & inviting. But what truly elevated the night was the outstanding service we received from Ben, our waiter.

Even though he was juggling a few large groups, Ben made us feel like we were his top priority. He was attentive without being intrusive, & his energy & kindness truly set the tone for a special evening. From start to finish, he took care of every detail with a genuine smile & made us feel so welcome.

The food? Absolutely amazing. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared & bursting with flavor. You can tell the kitchen team takes real pride in what they do. What also stood out was how knowledgeable the entire staff was about the menu. They answered every question with confidence & gave recommendations that hit the mark perfectly.

Another highlight of the night was the sommelier, who knows his craft. He helped us choose the perfect wine to pair with our meal, not only matching the flavors beautifully but also enhancing the entire dining experience with his passion & insight.

Dorsia is a place that not only serves exceptional food but also creates a memorable experience through top-tier service, ambiance, & expertise. Can't wait to go back!
