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.
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.
The salmon appetizer was delicious, reminded me of fried sushi without the rice. The lobster stuff pasta was disappointing, felt like they didn't season the filling, & went too hard on the lemon for the sauce. The cheesecake didn't really taste like standard cheesecake, but I guess it was alright.
Our waitress was super friendly & helpful. The decor is cute.
Prices were over the top for what it was though. All I had to drink was a Negroni & a glass of wine but somehow I spent more total than at a Michelin.

First off it's too loud in there . Second I ordered the cod .. it was well cooked but the flavors were not working, the dish description is not what I received . Way over priced for what it is, we had ordered Aperol spritz to start the Prosecco's flat . Our waiter didn't know that a Cabernet was a red wine .
If you want mediocre food & service/loud but good music this is the place to go
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
