Estrella is described as a stylish downtown Montreal spot that blends refined dining with lively comedy, where guests often note warm, attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere that makes the evening feel effortless. The show is a major draw and the ambience, terrace, and cocktails add to the overall appeal. Food is mixed in the feedback, with some dishes praised for flavor and presentation while others are critiqued for small portions or inconsistency and higher prices. Many reviews encourage enjoying the comedy and the overall experience, even if the dinner itself may not always meet every expectation, and several say they would return for the entertainment and hospitality. Overall the impression is that Estrella is becoming a go to destination for a night out that combines dining and entertainment, with strong hospitality and a memorable vibe that stands out in Montreal.
Go for the comedy, not the food. We were 2 on a Wed night. I ordered steak-frites which would have been good but suffered from DCS - distracted chef syndrome. They obviously left one side on the grill too long & charred it. If course, it was served charred side down. No comp offered. My companion ordered the karaaje chicken which lacked mango &/or papaya flavours. Service was very good. About 2/3rds of the comics were funny enough & the host was excellent. Avoid for food, go for the show.

Pretty good food. Little expensive for the portion. If I was a pathological liar, I'd say the service was amazing, but I'm not & it wasn't. One of the waitresses might as well have spit in my face.
This place changed... & for the best!!
We got greeted as soon as we walked in & offered bar or tables(since it was a little calm night).
We asked our waitress to order the food for us & it did not disappoint.
From my understanding, they're still trying to figure everything out.
Special thanks to Mike (the manager) & the chef Gibbson who came & spoke to us.
This place is going to be a staple of Montreal real soon!
Do not miss it if you pass by!
Great terrace, atmosphere & ambiance inside the lounge. The cocktails & food were delicious & staff were very friendly! I highly recommend the truffle fries👌.
Outdoor terrace has a beautiful view & was cool to have seating, music & an outdoor bar. New menu is delicious, great choices & selection of cocktails. Location in the heart of the entertainment district in Montreal.
My mom & I had dinner here tonight & it was amazing. My steak was like butter & so delicious along with crispy perfectly cooked fries. My mom had calamari it was very delicious & a generous size. She also enjoyed the truffle fries & the serving was so large she had to take some home.

Amazing spot. The entire team from the manager to the team were amazing. You will have a good time & have great service too. I would definitely come here anytime I'm around.
What an amazing spot! Thatcher is hands down one of the best restaurants around. The kitchen is open until 11, which is perfect when you're looking for a late dinner without compromising on quality. The food is absolutely beautiful - every plate looks like art & tastes even better. Their specials are truly the highlight, full of flavor & creativity.
On Saturdays, the vibe shifts in the best way - after dinner, it transforms into more of a club atmosphere with great music & energy, making it the perfect place to spend the whole night. Whether you're here for a cozy dinner or to keep the party going, Thatcher delivers every time. Highly recommend!
I loved this place, I'm from Plattsburgh ny & this was the first time I went to Canada, & this restaurant is very good, you need to try the Korean bbq ribs
