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.

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.
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.
My wife & I had the opportunity to get married at Estelle on September 14. Throughout the process of organizing the day, over the last year, the entire team at Estelle from the owners to the sommelier have been exceptionally helpful & welcoming. They put our dream wedding to reality. We had many compliments from guests that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding & that the wine was exceptionally good. The service was impeccable. Food was hot, glasses were always full & there was no wait time at the bar. Cocktails were beautiful & staff was friendly until the very last person left the restaurant My wife & I highly recommend Estelle as a wedding venue. It is in an intimidate setting that can accommodate roughly 125 people.

Excellent service de la part de Joey! Nourriture délicieuse. Petit conseil - lors de la réservation demandez à ne pas être aux 2 tables près de la zone de service au fond. Sinon tout était parfait 😀
Service extraordinaire! Nous y avons célébré notre mariage & c'était le lieu parfait. L'ambiance, le décor, l'atmosphère, le service, la bienveillance du staff, les bouchées, le repas... Tout était 10/10. Je recommande chaleureusement! J'y retournerai assurément.
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 ❤️
Super belle soirée avec des amies! Top ambiance, DJ . Notre serveur Ricky était professionnel . & que dire des gnocchis à tomber, les meilleurs que j'ai mangé depuis longtemps. Je recommande 100%
