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!
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!

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!
First off it's too loud in there . Second I ordered the cod .. it was well cooked but the flavors were not working, the dish description is not what I received . Way over priced for what it is, we had ordered Aperol spritz to start the Prosecco's flat . Our waiter didn't know that a Cabernet was a red wine .
If you want mediocre food & service/loud but good music this is the place to go

Food was great- Had the lamb chops & salmon tartare. Nice lively place with great music(a touch loud for conversation though)
Nice looking venue as well.
had a group work event. Food was great. Good service. But boy was it ever noisy. People had to talk/scream to hear each other over the blaring loud music. It's a restaurant! not a night club. Simply because of this I won't return nor recommend.
This is a nice relatively new spot. Has a valet service for only 10$ which is great. We went for a bday & they sat us down with the garage door open & people were literally freezing . So I would strongly suggest reserving a spot as far away from the garage doors as possible. Food was ok & very over priced, we had a very average 3 course meal with no drinks & it cost over 100$ per person. Like all wana be supper clubs the music was too loud & the DJ was pretty terrible in my opinion. If you want to check it out I suggest going on a weekday & avoiding Saturday nights.
At first I was worry cause that spot used to be a garage & I used to go there for my cars for many years so now it's a restaurant Estelle , anyway, the place is not to have a conversation no one can hear nothing between the music & the people talking all together in a small place I didn't like the food at all the appetizer came together with the dish they keep adding bottle of water even if you didn't ask for it at the end I can say it's a place for the young rich generation who's discovering the new life with drinking , to go eat there , never again .thanks god the chef is not my old mécanicien lol
This was a very disappointing experience. First of all, the music was so loud, you could not have a conversation. When asked to reduce the sound, the management refused to do so. The food was disappointing, & very expensive for the quality that was served. After being there for 90 minutes, we were told that we would have to leave within 30 minutes.
Nice modern place with a good ambiance. Food is decent & not cheap, price wise. It could improve though. Good wine list for both, white & red. Sommelier lost case. They have a pretty big parking lot, yet there is a valet which is a nice touch. Although, should always be to the discretion of the customer if he/she wants to park their own car & not be obliged to hand keys to the valet. Music is at the right level. Good cocktails as well. Verdict : give it a try.
