Estelle is described as a standout Montreal dining spot with a stylish, high end yet inviting ambience and a lively vibe that still feels welcoming. The food is repeatedly praised for quality and execution, with favorites like fresh house made pasta, tartare, and lamb chops, and many noting a memorable lobster pasta and other Italian Mediterranean dishes. Service is highlighted as knowledgeable and attentive by many, with guest experiences ranging from warm hospitality to occasional variability in timeliness or warmth. The atmosphere and music are often cited as excellent and fun, though the volume can be loud and conversations harder later in the evening. Pricing is considered upscale, with some feeling value for the quality while others find it hard to justify. Parking is typically valet, sometimes costly or inconvenient, which some reviews flag as a drawback. Dessert options may lack non dairy choices, and at least one review reported concerns about a foodborne illness with no response from management. Overall Estelle is seen as a top choice for special occasions and nights out, celebrated for its food and atmosphere, with many ready to return.
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!
From start to finish, Estelle completely exceeded my expectations.
The space is beautiful - high ceilings, stylish design, & a lively vibe that feels both modern & warm. The food was the highlight: fresh pasta made in-house, perfectly cooked lamb chops, & the kind of Italian flavors that stay with you long after you leave.
Service was top notch - friendly, attentive, & they really know how to make you feel welcome without ever rushing you. By the time the music picks up later in the evening, the whole place turns into a festive atmosphere, perfect for a night out.
If you're looking for one of the best spots in Montreal for modern Italian food with an amazing vibe, Estelle is a must. Can't wait to come back!

Food is soo delicious, superb ambiance but the highlight was the service from Jessica, best waitress in Mtl, knows her menu so well, best recommendation & such an attentive service from her. Will come back to Estelle just for her. Thank you for such a great night
I recently dined at Estelle, & it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch - attentive, friendly, & incredibly knowledgeable. The food was absolutely fantastic, & the atmosphere was just perfect, creating a truly special dining experience.
I particularly loved the Tagliatelle Tartufo, which was rich & flavorful, & the lamb chops were cooked to perfection - tender & bursting with taste. Every moment was enjoyable, & I'll definitely be returning. Highly recommend Estelle for an exceptional night out!
Absolutely incredible! This was recommended to us, we were celebrating our anniversary. The staff were so attentive especially the manager! The food was exceptional & having valet parking was perfect!

I must say the Owner is quite the man. He pulled together an incredible team to launch this restaurant. First of all it's accessible which is +++, the hostess & waiters are incredibly attentive & considerate. The pasta dishes we have were made in house & were incredibly delicious & aren't acidic. Daniel was my waiter & was knowledgeable so request for him & you'll be in good hands. The restaurant reminds me of Miami Beach design district & Venetian island very breezy, sexy, calm & collected. This is a great place for an impressive date, business or even celebration. I don't like to overhype places but it was by far a great experience & would go there again. We had the Burrata, Focaccia, Agnolotti & Spaghetti with classic Côtes du Rhône white & the bill with everything & tip included was about 255$ all together. Bang for my buck & great experience.

Incredibly tasty food & cocktails, attentive staff & a very cozy ambiance. First time visiting & it became one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. For reference, we ordered the arugula salad, burrata, ragu cavatelli, cream macaroni, white chocolate cheesecake & several cocktails & everything was delicious. Thank you Maxime for such a lovely service!
We had made a super last minute impromptu dinner reso for my birthday last night & I'm so glad we did. I was pretty surprised at how busy it was on a random rainy cold Monday evening. It's weird but that alone impressed me. My husband & I had the opportunity to visit the place in October 2023 when they were a month ish away from officially opening & We were excited to see the turnout & whoa, the place looks even better than we could have visualized. The restaurant is so gorgeous. As for the staff, they are all so extremely attentive. Our waiter was great & gave honest recommendations. We really do appreciate that. As for the food. Well, long story short. Goddam YUM. I cannot wait to come back & try other things on the menu. We had ordered salmon tartare, zucchini flowers, tagliatelle, branzino & fries. Two cocktails & a bottle of white. Price point: My only thing that took me by surprise was the price of a gin-soda & the zucchini flowers. Other than that, no regrets , everything else was worth every penny. I legit can't wait to come back to try out other things on the menu 🤤 Thanks for a superb night ❤️
Everything we had was delicious & our waiter Daniel was welcoming & very attentive. Highly recommend anyone who wants to enjoy an amazing meal! The focaccia was so addicting!
