Estelle is described as a standout modern Italian dining spot with superb food, a beautiful atmosphere, and friendly, attentive service, ideal for celebrations or date nights. Reviews highlight dishes like tartare, burrata, lobster cappellacci, lamb chops, and fresh pasta, plus tasty cocktails and a well rounded wine list. The vibe is vibrant and upscale, with high ceilings and stylish decor, and the staff are frequently praised for knowledge and care, though a few experiences note variability in service. The atmosphere can be lively to the point of being loud, especially at night, which can make conversation difficult and some guests find the music overwhelming. Pricing is generally seen as upscale and sometimes expensive, with opinions divided on value depending on taste and expectations. A heated terrace and valet parking are appreciated features, and several visits are described as memorable and highly recommend Estelle, while a minority mention inconsistent experiences or concerns about price relative to the menu. Overall, Estelle is viewed as one of Montreal's top Italian options for food, vibe, and hospitality, with the caveat that the energy and cost may not fit every moment or budget.
Great meal, honestly I love the environment. Really high end look while still feeling inviting towards everyone. Food was good, wish I got a little more bang for the buck but the quality was great. The staff were really knowledgeable & friendly about there menu & advised us really well! I'd go back for sure for a date night 😉
From A to Z, everything was simply exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish prepared to perfection. The service was impeccably tailored - attentive, professional, & genuinely welcoming. Even the music was perfectly on point, creating the ideal atmosphere for a memorable experience. Truly outstanding in every way!

Just got home & have to rant! Food great, but annoying waiter & busboys hovered over our party of 4 constantly, frequently trying to take away our plates before we were all finished. (Only a little over an hour into the meal, & res was at 6:30, so resto was only 2/3's full). They finally acknowledged they were'over doing it', & gave us free dessert. Turned a nice planned evening into a very uncomfortable situation. Too many other fabulous restaurants out there, with wonderful, warm appreciative service - won't spend our hard-earned money there again.
Food & ambience were excellent. Server was familiar enough with the menu to inform us appropriately due to dietary restrictions. No non dairy option for dessert. At a minimum sorbet should be available. Server could have checked in a bit more. & when we arrived we mentioned to the hostess we were celebrating our anniversary. A nice touch would have been for the hostess to inform our server so they could congratulate us or even offer a glass of bubbly. Parking was the main annoyance to the evening. Parking lot was empty on arrival. I parked my own car & retrieved my own car. But still paid $10 for'valet' parking. If the lot has parking available it should be free. Charge valet fee when the valet is required to park your car because the lot is full. Overall a good experience with the exception of the dessert options & parking.
Good food, good wine & ok service. Parking is exclusively valet…. Ridiculous. Extremely expensive for the quality. Many great restaurants in the area with a better price/quality.
Had a perfect experience here. The vibe is warm & elegant, the food is absolutely delicious, & the service is impeccable. While it's on the pricier side, you truly get what you pay for excellence in every detail. Highly recommend for a special night out. Will definitely be back!

I booked bar seats in my reservation through google. We came on time & were told there was no space at the bar & they sat us way at the back by the bathrooms. We were promised to be brought to the bar when our seats were ready... never happened.
We had to flag down someone to order because no one was coming to us for quite a while. Once we did have a waiter, he was really lovely. Overall though we felt super dismissed by the experience at this restaurant.
The food was ok. Salmon was good. Lamb chops were overcooked. However, we came to Estelle for a good vibe, not really for the food. When you get seated way out back & don't get to enjoy the vibe that you booked... it's disappointing.
Ate at Estelle on a Thursday night (very busy night) with a large group of about 10.
Service was very professional - fast & did not make mistakes despite lots of noise & a large group. Accommodated requests with ease.
Cocktails were tasty.
Food was great & came out hot.
The bread was really special - I would go back just for that.
Music was loud & the atmosphere was very fun.
Wait for a table was long despite having a reservation, & this is why I cannot give 5 stars. Overall though we are happy we stayed. It's a great place to have a fun birthday dinner for a friend!
I would normally give this place a 5 star but we sat in an outdoor area they have added with plastic covers & it was really cold even with the heating lamps. To add to that it was also raining & dripping on us the whole night not horrible but trickles every 2 or 3 minutes. When we told the sever he didn't offer to move us. With that being said the food was delicious. I would go back but not sit in that area. DJ was good & restaurant is beautiful.
One of the best restaurants, services, food & atmosphere in Montreal, everyone is super nice & kind, great staff & management - food is delicious-try it for yourself- good luck getting a spot as it is booked but they will help you. Thanks Abdullah & team

Absolutely outstanding experience! The service was impeccable & the staff incredibly friendly, special thanks to Anthony for taking such great care of us. The owner is present, welcoming, & genuinely friendly with every customer, which makes a huge difference. The food was simply marvellous, every dish was delicious!
It was my first time at Estelle today, i was so satisfied with my visit. Beautiful venue, amazing service & exceptional food. I had the burrata as an entree it was dresh & the ingredients were very good together a little sweet & salty moment. As for the lobster cappellacci & it was to die for!!!! Would definitely recommend & Id go back in a heart beat.
