Estelle propose une exploration rigoureuse des traditions culinaires italiennes en misant sur une approche axée sur la fraîcheur des produits du marché. Le menu privilégie les ingrédients saisonniers et les bases de qualité, transformant des éléments simples en préparations pensées pour souligner la clarté des saveurs. La clientèle découvre une cuisine d’inspiration méditerranéenne où l’intégrité de chaque produit brut demeure la priorité absolue. L’équipe en cuisine exploite l’agriculture régionale afin de concevoir des sélections rotatives reflétant les cycles de récolte naturels de l’environnement immédiat. Chaque plat témoigne d’un équilibre entre contraste textural et densité nutritionnelle, assurant ainsi une identité cohérente à travers tout le service. Cet établissement conserve une esthétique fonctionnelle qui maintient l’attention portée sur l’assiette, illustrant parfaitement la relation entre l’approvisionnement local et l’exécution technique maîtrisée.
Estelle est largement considérée comme une destination incontournable à Montréal, offrant une atmosphère élégante, chic et dynamique que de nombreux clients jugent parfaite pour les soirées en amoureux ou les célébrations. Les convives font régulièrement l'éloge de la cuisine d'inspiration italienne, soulignant la qualité de plats comme le tartare de saumon, les pâtes fraîches et les viandes, tout en mettant en avant l'énergie festive qui s'intensifie en soirée avec une musique plus rythmée. Bien que le service soit souvent décrit comme professionnel, attentionné et accueillant, les expériences peuvent varier, certains visiteurs signalant des manques de suivi, des problèmes de placement ou un niveau sonore élevé. Le restaurant est perçu comme une expérience haut de gamme, bien que les avis sur le rapport qualité-prix divergent, notamment en ce qui concerne la tarification, la logistique du service de voiturier et les options limitées pour les desserts. Malgré quelques retours mitigés sur la constance, de nombreux clients considèrent l'établissement comme une adresse essentielle et expriment une réelle volonté d'y revenir pour son esthétique et sa qualité culinaire.
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!
Unfortunately, I would NOT recommend this restaurant. Of the four of us who recently had cocktails & dinner here - three of us were sick with gastro-intestinal issues the next day. I emailed the restarant to express my concerns & inquire about whether others were sick. They couldn't even be bothered to respond. Zero stars on the food borne illness. Having eaten at a number of other fine dining restaurants of similar calibre, the food here was not the main event. It was lack lustre in comparison to my other experiences. The bus boy was the star with impeccable service provision. The menu on Estelle's website was outdated & they did not provide a cocktail list. We will never go back to eat here.
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 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.
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 ❤️
