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.

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.
