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.
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.
Une belle découverte. Dans l'ancien gruman mais tout est rénové, ça ne se ressemble pas. Je crois que c'est le meilleur restaurant de St Henri. Très chic & très beau décor. Il y a même un dj. J'ai hâte de voir la terrasse. Le saumon était délicieux en entrée, les pâtes & la joue de boeuf aussi. Excellent service. Seul problème, pour le pouboir ils suggèrent entre 30% & 18%, c'est rire du monde. Quand je vois ça ca donne envie de donner 0%.

Located in an quiet old industrial building in St. Henri district, Estelle has the combination of ambiance, service & excellent cuisine one looks for in a special evening to enjoy with a partner, friends or family. The decor is inline with the most current style...a mix of exposed brick, light wood colors, dark wood accepts, soft yellow lighting & some greenery. As the restaurant fills up it can also get a little noisy but not overwhelmingly so, giving the place a feeling that it is happening. The cuisine is modern Italian & of very high quality but with pricing to match...expect to easily pay over $100 per person including wine or a cocktail. For our meal with friends we enjoyed Salmon Milanese (interesting but good...more like a sushi maki roll style), Roquette Salad (very good with a nice dressing), Bolognese Stuffed Agnolotti (excellent), Wild Mushroom Parpadelle (also excellent) & ending with the Semifreddo (good but not at the same level as the main meal). Service is excellent with a special call out to Daniel who was not just very friendly & personable but knowledgeable as well. Even as a high quality resto the food was served promptly yet we never felt rushed. Recommended as a nice place to enjoy as a couple or with a small group of friends. Enjoy!
Honestly it'a not just a restaurant, it's an experience. The atmosphere is very warm & welcoming. I must mention the staff is TOP NOTCH, couldn't ask for better service & attention to detail. Never left a plate empty, my water was always filled up & they really take time to listen to what you want & give great recommendations accordingly. My "coup de coeur" on the menu is definitely the SALMONE ALLA MILANESE. Delicious!
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!
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 .

Excellent menu & curated food on par with Jellyfish & Beatrice's reputation! The salmone alla milanese entrée by itself is worth the visit! Beautiful streamlined & modern decor with a live DJ to provide a great complementary ambiance. The quality of the food supercedes all, which is definitely what you want when deciding to dine at a restaurant of this level. Kudos to all involved in launching Estelle!
Nous avons tellement bien mangé!!! Les petites boulettes en entrée avec une compotée légèrement sucré & piquante sur le top... WoW Les pâtes aux pleurotes... oufff c'était juste incroyable. Le vin, le dessert & le service 5 étoiles ⭐️ Je vous le recommande sans hésitation ♥️
Beautiful restaurant in a perfect location with exceptional service friendly & professional staff & great food. Since it opened a big earlier this year, It became our favorite restaurant. 5 stars all the way.
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.
