Les avis sur Dorsia convergent vers une expérience culinaire raffinée et mémorable, caractérisée par un cadre élégant, une ambiance chic et un service attentif et professionnel, et par une cuisine gastronomique où chaque plat est pensé et joliment présenté. La carte et les vins, souvent salués pour leur qualité et leur originalité, accompagnent des saveurs variées allant du tartare de boeuf au paccheri en passant par des plats de canard, fruits de mer et viandes parfaitement maîtrisés, avec des desserts et des cocktails souvent cités comme des points forts. L impression générale est que l établissement mérite une étoile Michelin et représente une valeur sûre pour les occasions spéciales, avec des portions généreuses et une expérience qui peut friser la perfection lorsque tout s aligne. Cependant, certaines réserves notent des moments de service inégal, des attentes longues lors de périodes d affluence, et des variations d expérience entre visites, notamment lors de soirées chargées ou pour les grands groupes. Malgré cela, ambiance, qualité des plats et professionnalisme du personnel font de Dorsia une destination prisée et recommandée par de nombreux convives.
That was a 5 stars experience to me & my friend. We had two drinks, both very good.
We both had steak tartare for starter (hands down the best tartare I've ever had) which was a pretty decent portion. Then we had two plates of pasta: I purposely picked the simplest one: paccheri with tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, pepper & basil, so you can really tell the quality of the ingredients. It was heavenly, the paccheri were cooked to perfection. My friend had a more elaborate pasta (can't remember now) & it was ridiculously good. We had dessert & the bill was 230$, plus I left 22% tip because the staff was amazing: very attentive & professional without being too stiff as you see in some places that confuse'high-end experience' with bloated stiffness & too much form. We felt pampered & looked after, just great. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also beautifully balanced: we got greeted by a really lovely girl who made us feel immediately at home, & took our coats. The interior design is classy & elegant (& I mean elegant, not douchy-bro-gold-chain'elegant'), soft lights & a pleasant crowd on the younger side. I'm taking my girlfriend next week, absolutely loved it. Definitely came for the name (I love the movie) but stayed for the quality of the food & staff. Thank you guys!
Would give a 0 if I could. We went for the celebration of our friends birthday & we were told prior that we couldn't consume our own birthday cake, which is fine. However, we baked a cake & brought it for photos. Upon arrival we asked the person who greeted us if it was ok to not eat the cake but just have the birthday girl take photos with it, to which they said it was more than ok. We thought everything was fine, so we set it on the corner of our table & took it out to take a couple of pictures & selfies with.
At the end of the night, we paid the bill & realized an extra 25$ charge, when we asked about it they said that we took pictures with our own dessert meaning that we weren't going to spend money on their dessert, so to compensate they would add the 25$ charge. The manager or whoever we spoke to was incredibly rude when we inquired about this, saying he didn't want to talk for a mere 25$. This condescending attitude from the staff cannot even be made up with the borderline horrendous food.
I hope whoever runs the restaurant knows how their employee are treating customers especially on their birthdays.

The atmosphere was nice. The food was really good , however the service was a bit slow. We had to wait almost an hour for our main. I would recommend to try the tiramisu dessert for sure!
Cadre beau certe mais l'attente est extrêmement longue environ 50 minutes d'attente après chaque plat pour une taille vraiment ridicule. Les plats ne valent clairement pas le prix. Le goût du dessert chocolat chocolat horrible. Pour autant d'argent dépensé c'est très décevant.En plus de cela des erreurs inadmissibles dans les additions. Je ne vous recommande guère ce restaurant pour votre bien. Maintenant si vous voulez un bon visuel du bâtiment mais attendre 1h par plat & manger très peu & très mal c'est le restaurant qu'il vous faut.
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.
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.

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.
Very pleasant & welcoming service from the whole staff.
Lobster ravioli, eel & four gras appetizer, & crudo, Maple Forest dessert, & chocolate dessert were all delicious & well presented. The rhubarb send-off dessert was also great.
I think a little more effort could have been put into the presentation of the cavatelli but it was a good portion at least & my friend seemed to enjoy it.
My aviation was a little more sour that it should be but when I mixed the bottom a bit, it wasn't bad. The wine recommendation was perfect.
Decor is gorgeous. Loved that the waiter confirmed that the name is an American Psycho reference. Great retro music. Played two of my favourite Madonna songs. Look forward to checking out their basement bar at some point.
Un sans faute: magnifique accueil, des plats délicieux, trés fins (les pâtes paccheri ), le tartare excellent, rapport qualité prix très attrayant; le dessert érablière est très original. De passage venant de Paris, une adresse à chérir quand je reviens. BRAVO
I loved it here! Food was so tasteful. The decor was fancy but I didn't feel out of place. They make you feel really comfortable there. Love the lemon dessert. Was perfect positions to be full but not stuffed. The chef miles delivered our food & you can tell how passionate he is about his art. Will def go again

Mes amis & moi sommes venus durant le temps des fêtes. Bien que la salle était remplie, nous n'avons jamais senti que les serveurs n'avaient pas le temps d'être avec nous, de remplir nos verres & de répondre à toutes nos questions. La nourriture est excellente, les desserts sont magnifiques qui plus est & les conseils pour le vin étaient parfaits. Nous avions des palettes de goûts différents & tout le monde à la table à été très satisfaits des recommandations!
Let's start with the food: exquisite, a word so frequently misused it often feels hollow. But not here. The amuse-bouche-a delicate arrangement of sea urchin, caviar, & a whisper of Meyer lemon-was so ethereal, it felt like I was eating stardust. The main course? An herb-crusted lamb rack paired with an aged Bordeaux reduction that could have brought Nietzsche himself to tears. It was the kind of meal that makes you ponder the futility of existence, then promptly forget it as you revel in your next perfectly executed bite. The dessert, a deconstructed lavender panna cotta, was so sublime I considered framing the plate rather than letting the busboy take it away. The ambiance? Immaculate. Warm, muted lighting cast over sleek, minimalistic decor that suggested wealth without screaming it-a detail I respect. The clientele was... acceptable. A mix of high-powered executives & impeccably dressed women sipping martinis with such precision you'd think it was choreographed. The music? A discreet mix of Miles Davis & Vivaldi, a soothing backdrop that never once overpowered the muted hum of power & privilege. What truly sets Dorsia apart, though, is the service. The waiter, who had a jawline sharp enough to rival mine, attended to my every whim with the sort of reverence I deserve. My water glass never dipped below half-full. My wine pairings were so on point they bordered on clairvoyance. I tipped generously, of course-anything less would be gauche. Would I recommend Dorsia? Not to Paul Allen. He wouldn't understand the nuanced brilliance of the chef's approach, nor would he grasp the importance of a reservation. But to those who can, & do, aspire to greatness-yes. Absolutely.
I recently visited this restaurant & found the food enjoyable & the ambience quite charming. However, the service was unfortunately below par. Even something as straightforward as ordering a bottle of wine took far longer than expected, & both our main course & desserts were similarly delayed. Despite the appealing atmosphere & well-prepared dishes, the drawn-out wait times significantly impacted the overall dining experience. I hope the restaurant addresses these service issues soon, as it has the potential to be an exceptional place if the service is improved.
Beautiful restaurant & delicious food, but sadly we were disappointed by the service. We came to celebrate a birthday & notified the staff, as we had seen people receiving dessert with a lit candle. We ended up receiving our dessert without a candle, because they had supposedly "ran out" of them. About 10 minutes later, the big table right next to us received their dessert with a candle. Kind of weird that they would "find" candles for some clients but not for others. Although this might seem like an insignificant detail, it really affected our experience as we had booked specifically to celebrate a birthday. Also had to ask to be served bread, which appeared to be served automatically to other tables. Not really the kind of experience you expect from a high-end restaurant.

Très bel endroit, élégant & la décoration exceptionnelle & très confortable. On peut s'entendre parler même s'il y a de la musique. Le service tout à fait hors pair & accueillant. Bravo! Nos entrées étaient très bien, par contre les pâtes Pomodoro très moyen & l'assiette d'agneau correct. Le dessert excellent.
A recently opened Montreal restaurant that delivers an elevated dining experience. Dorsia aims to be the best & pulls all the stops with impeccable & attentive service, an upscale setting, beautiful & balanced cocktails, & food that has no real competition in Montreal. The Ora King salmon delivers a fresh & clean palate cleanser, the olive oil they serve with their bread is the finest DOCG cold pressed product around, the Halibut (pictured) is from a dream with its intentional shaping & garden-like accoutrements, & the desserts deliver a flavour journey that is very memorable. I am excited for the many years of fun nights out that await at this very special restaurant. As our waiter said while pouring a refill of our water & checking in on us early in the evening: "Welcome to Dorsia"
Mais quelle belle découverte ! Un véritable coup de coeur pour ce magnifique restaurant. Le décor moderne & épuré crée une ambiance raffinée, & le service est tout simplement impeccable. Chaque plat, de l'entrée au dessert, en passant par les cocktails, est un véritable délice. Je vous recommande particulièrement le flétan & le filet mignon, qui fondent littéralement en bouche.
