Pizzeria elForne is such an amazing hidden gem, that my friends & I stumbled upon after searching for a nearby restaurant open late within walking distance to our hotel. We were happy to find this place, & were surprised to see it empty, but we walked in & were greeted by the owner who eneded up being the only employee working. It was stunning to see him be so diligent in every task, from working as our server, & chef.
The food was so fresh & tasting amazing. This restaurant has such a stunning authentic atmosphere to it, & I highly recommend & I will be stopping by on my next trip to Montreal.

Expensive for what you get but the feed quality was good

I went to Elforne for lunch with a group of 10. We called in advance to let them know we were coming. When we arrived, the restaurant was empty - & unfortunately, we quickly understood why.

We waited about an hour for our pizzas. When they finally arrived, the crust was burnt while the middle was still raw. The ingredients did not taste fresh, & the cheese felt industrial & low quality. For $30 per pizza in downtown Montreal, this is completely unacceptable - especially in such a competitive market.

What made it worse was the service. Only one person was working in the restaurant. He never once came to check on us or ask if the food was okay. There was no follow-up, no acknowledgment of the long wait, nothing.

I genuinely wanted this place to be good. The concept has potential. But based on this experience, I cannot recommend it. With this level of execution & attention to detail, it's hard to see how it can compete long term.

Very disappointing.
