Dorsia

Wow. Dorsia produced one of the best overall dining experiences I have had in years. A colleague & I were in Montreal for the first time on a work trip & stumbled on visually stunning Dorsia. Despite having no reservations, the host found us two places at the bar, where the bartenders were exceptional. The food was equally as good. We met a couple of regulars at the bar, who invited us downstairs to Dorsia's new speakeasy, Bowie. Like the restaurant Dorsia upstairs, it totally nailed downstairs what a speakeasy should be. Layout. Decor. DJ. Live Music. Drinks. Clientele. Sadly, we had to work the next day & left at 11 pm, but I am sure the party went well into the night. The next evening, my colleague & I briefly discussed our options for dinner that night & agreed we would do no better than simply returning to Dorsia. When we arrived, all the staff remembered us as if we were longtime regulars. Despite it being a fully-booked Saturday night, they immediately tried to accommodate us, even though even the bar was full. Their solution was to open the speak easy early, where they guided us & comp'd us our drinks until two seats at the bar were available. The second night was just as good as the first. Between us, my colleague & I have easily been to over 100 countries, so we have experienced a pretty remarkable range of places, & in that long list, Dorsia stands out. Well done Dorsia. Keep doing what you are doing.

A real hidden gem in Old Montreal! The attention to details is phenomenal. The interior designer & the art is absolutely incredible which sets the tone on a beautiful experience. Service was excellent, from the moment we walked in to leaving they were very attentive & made us feel at home. Food portion was small but the quality was at a high level. Prices are great for the quality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great fine dining experience to visit Dorsia! Their music selection is also a nice bonus adding on to the overall dinner.

I'm a tourist in Montreal, was searching for the perfect spot to eat & I got lots of recommendations about Dorsia. But to be honest, Filet Mignon was the only thing I really enjoyed, It was just beyond everything . Dorsia positioned itself as a fine dining restaurant, but I didn't feel it. Usually you expect someone to explain you the dishes & exclusive ingredients that make the dish to taste in a unique way. Unfortunately I didn't get any explanations at all:( As for tartare it was just average & Agnolotti were way too oily for me. Unfortunately neither service nor food left a special impression. Just an expensive place without the soul. Wouldn't come back or recommend Dorsia to someone who is looking to taste & feel real Montreal

It was enjoyable. Very pleasant waitress lady, I think her name was Léa. She was that one pearl that made my 1st couple anniversary feel special. The entries were delicious, main plates well combined. The interior & location were amazing. We ended up on a 300+ bill for a dinner of two, but it was worth it.

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.

Food is so so! Definitely not the best in Montreal. The fish was super salty... the dessert was very good.

Le restaurant n'aurait pas dû permettre une réservation à 18h s'il n'ouvre qu'à cette heure-là. Nous sommes arrivés environ 15 minutes à l'avance pour éviter tout retard, mais la porte était fermée, & nous avons été contraints d'attendre dehors dans le froid. La porte n'a été ouverte que quelques minutes après l'heure de notre réservation. Si vous acceptez des réservations à 18h, veuillez ouvrir la porte au moins 15 à 30 minutes avant.

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.

Had an amazing experience at this Restaurant. Went to Montreal for a couple of days with my boyfriend from NYC & stumbled upon this gem by walking around. We made a last minute reservation for our anniversary since we were lost in the area. From the moment we stepped in the service was on point. Food was delicious & cocktails/ wine as well. Manager was super attentive & made us a lil note congratulating us on our anniversary. Server pretty much gave us a rundown of what to choose & was top. At the end of our meal we asked for recommendations to go for a last drink & they offered their speak easy downstairs which was just gorgeous to finish the night!! Beautiful evening over all & will always remember this fantastic night. Thank you again to the entire team! Best of luck!!!

Amazing cocktails, friendly service with amazing decoration & most importantly I cannot get over how decadent the mussels were, the tomato base is seasoned perfectly with fresh soft slightly chewy mussels. It is hard to achieve that result but I can definitely say that those were the best mussels I have had in a while. I totally recommend!

We came with my girlfriend for our anniversary on a Tuesday night, it was a memorable experience from A to Z. Very professional & friendly service. The food was outstanding. We appreciated the attention from the manager for our special occasion. We will definitely come back. Ps : at the end of the dinner we got offered to go to their speakeasy downstairs the restaurant, it made our night even more special !

Un cher ami nommé Paul Allen m'a suggéré d'aller dîner. J'espère trouver une table pour deux.
