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.
Had a perfect experience here. The vibe is warm & elegant, the food is absolutely delicious, & the service is impeccable. While it's on the pricier side, you truly get what you pay for excellence in every detail. Highly recommend for a special night out. Will definitely be back!
I booked bar seats in my reservation through google. We came on time & were told there was no space at the bar & they sat us way at the back by the bathrooms. We were promised to be brought to the bar when our seats were ready... never happened.
We had to flag down someone to order because no one was coming to us for quite a while. Once we did have a waiter, he was really lovely. Overall though we felt super dismissed by the experience at this restaurant.
The food was ok. Salmon was good. Lamb chops were overcooked. However, we came to Estelle for a good vibe, not really for the food. When you get seated way out back & don't get to enjoy the vibe that you booked... it's disappointing.

Great service!!! Wow seriously impeccable service. The food was also delicious. Me & two others had a salad as an entree which was a bit too salty, the waiter simply removed it from our bill & even offered the table free dessert to compensate. Knowledgeable staff. Great food & good vibes. Love this place.
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!
Came to Estelle for great birthday party for our friends. We had a sharing menu, which was superb. The starters Insalata di Rucola E Radicchio, Insalata Di Cicoria Belga, Salmone alla milanese, & Tartare di Salmone were all amazing. I did not eat the pasta & gnocchi dishes (as i don't eat pasta), but everyone seems to enjoy those dishes. Bistecca Cowboy (i guess this is a version of tomahawk steak) was one of the best steaks i have had in 5 years, & i have steak weekly. Branzino & Rapini Piccanti were perfectly prepared also. For dessert, I really enjoyed Apple crumble cheesecake & Chocolate hazelnut semifreddo. The overall vibe reminded us the glory days of partying on Saint Laurent in late 90s & early 2000s .
Got to meet Karl & had a nice chat leaving the restaurant. Highly recommend & will be back again soon.
Coincidentally, this week the first edition of Michelin guide was released for Montréal & I am surprised that Estelle is not on their list, this place totally deserves to be included.
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.
Honestly the place has a great atmosphere, loving sitting at the bar. Food is delicious but took forever to get our mains & we came at 9.15 didn't eat our mains until 10:51 so that was a bit crazy. Granted it was a Friday so def busy so I get it- would definitely go back! Go for vibes & gorg deco
