Review Summary

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.

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.

Un restaurant absolument charmant qui mérite amplement le détour.
La nourriture est savoureuse, parfaitement exécutée & met en valeur la qualité des ingrédients. Chaque bouchée était un vrai régal.

L'ambiance est tout simplement idéale : chaleureuse, vivante & portée par une musique qui contribue à créer une atmosphère 5/5. J'ai eu la chance de profiter de la terrasse chauffée, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable & conviviale.

Petit plus non négligeable : le service de valet parking à seulement 10 $, une rareté & un atout précieux à Montréal.

Amazing Italian eatery located in the heart of St-Henri. Estelle always offers a fine dining experience & is hands down Montreals best Italian restaurant serving up great food & good vibes! Delicious & stunning dishes (& cocktails) at reasonable prices (you pay for quality)! Ambiance is on point & the service was exceptional (thanks to Joey).
Valet Parking only 10$ which is great considering street parking is around 5$ an hour.
A must try if you haven't already.

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.

The food was excellent, a top-notch dining experience. However, the valet service damaged my car, & their handling of the issue has been disappointing. Be cautious if you plan to use the valet.

I have been to Estelle a number of times already & every single time is a truly stellar experience. Worried about parking? They have valet service. The restaurant is stunning with a posh chic vibe. Food & service is always top notch. Special thanks to Dimitri who is truly outstanding & accommodating.

This place is amazing. Their outdoor terrace makes you feel like You are on vacation. I love that they also have round tables so all guests can see each other. They have valet - 10$ It's a bit on the pricier side - ex: pasta plates are 32$ & up. Cocktails are about 20$- check the menu online. The food is phenomenal! The tuna tataki is delish, the mushroom pasta is to die for, the tuna tartare is amazing. The buratta is just MMMMM & enough to share. There is not 1 dish that was not excellent & everything was shareable - good portions. The desserts were also very good. It spacious & there is a dj on Friday & Saturday I believe. I was there on a Saturday. This is a great place for a date night or even for groups. Highly recommend.

if the food were spectacular the $$$ could be justified, unfortunately its not. overabundance of staff felt intrusive from the weird paid valet parking to the guy in the bathroom offering towels, gum. felt like they were trying too hard to justify th exorbitant cost of the meal

All the dishes were extremely salty, especially the pasta dishes. A little pricey but nice resteraunt. Also the valet situation on the way out is a mess. No fault to the people working there but more people are needed (or no valet). Waiting for your key when the car is parked 1 metre away isn't ideal.

Food was tasty, especially loved the desserts & vibes were fun & lively. Very expensive for similar dishes you can find at most upscale Italian restaurants in the city, minimum 20$ per glass of wine, but my biggest qualm was with the parking. They charge 10$ for mandatory "valet" parking, but the lot is attached to the restaurant. Essentially paying for them to park your car 2 feet from the front door for you. Completely unnecessary.

Nous avons aimé : l'ambiance, l'amabilité de l'hôtesse & des serveurs, & la plupart des plats (la salade prosciutto-melon aux pistaches surtout, mais aussi la focaccia, la burrata, le loup de mer & la tarte au chocolat). Nous n'avons pas aimé : Il n'y avait pas de carte de mocktails, alors impossible de connaître le prix avant de recevoir la création du barman. Quand on nous a proposé de l'eau & qu'on a demandé de l'eau plate, on nous a directement apporté une bouteille au lieu d'eau du robinet. Le plat de pâtes aux palourdes-topinambours-citron était mal équilibré; beaucoup d'amertume & manque de sel. Nous avons aussi dû accrocher le serveur pour demander un refill d'eau, ce qui me paraît anormal dans un restaurant aussi haut-de-gamme. De plus, le pourboire proposé par défaut était 30% (!) après taxes, aucune option de 15% (il faut appuyer sur Custom). Mais le pire est la présence d'un valet obligatoire pour stationner notre voiture à deux pas de la porte dans un petit stationnement vide. En somme, un beau restaurant, mais orienté sur une clientèle tellement riche qu'elle ne sait plus quoi faire de son argent, à mon avis.

All about your wallet, Paid valet service, 20$ glass of wine, 18% minimum tip, pressure to leave for the next service. The food was ok, but I feel they are contributing to inflation too much! Value for money isn't e-stellar.

Food & atmosphere is excellent . The mandatory valet parking when the parking lot was empty seemed unnecessary. I had to wait 5 minutes for my car when it was literally 10 steps from the door, I would have been happy to get it myself . Valet should be an option or provided when the lot is full .

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.

Restaurant was nicely decorated, food was okay, waitress was sweet but the sommelier didn't know her wines at all & she also wasn't as warm & welcoming as past sommelier's I've encountered with. I sensed that the valet attendant was pressuring my friends & me into tipping (I will tip you well if you give me good service, but you literally drove my car less than 5 meters from the restaurant). Eventually, he simply handed me the keys & essentially instructed me to retrieve my car on my own after we tipped him $20.
