Hiatus consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience anchored by breathtaking city views from the top, refined Japanese-French fusion dishes that are beautifully presented and flavorful, and attentive, professional service that many describe as top-tier. The tasting menus and course services are widely praised for variety and pacing, with standout wine pairings and inventive cocktails noted by guests. Some critics mention very small portions for the price and occasional slow or uneven service, while others point to a busy atmosphere or reservation hiccups; nevertheless, the combination of views, ambiance, and high-quality food and service makes Hiatus a memorable destination, especially for special occasions or sunset dining.
Our first experience at Hiatus was fantastic & we will definitely be back.
The atmosphere & the view were amazing, Mika provided excellent service, menu & wine guidance & truly added to our experience.
The food was excellent, delicious & well presented.
I have only positive things to say. Hiatus was recommended to us by a family member & I now highly recommended it myself!

Les plats sont excellents & le service aussi ! On a trouvé l'endroit un peu « flashy », & le rapport qualité-prix n'y est pas. Le prix des plats est trop élevé.
The food was delicious & elegantly presented. The ambience & the view were amazing. My husband & I have been to different restaurants in Montreal, so far, Hiatus tops them all 😊.
Brought my dad here for his retirement with my family. Food was so good, like unreal. Get the tasting menu, makes everything easier & lowkey even though it's mad expensive, it's absolutely worth every penny. Staff are a bunch of legends. Go habs Go
Absolutely loved our experience at Hiatus! Beautiful place with an incredible view, the perfect spot for a fancy night out without breaking the bank. The food was gourmet, high end, & every dish was amazing.
What really made the evening special was the service. The staff was truly wonderful, especially Nel, our waitress. She was so kind, patient, & attentive with my elderly parents, which meant so much to us.
Highly recommend 100%, we will definitely be back!

Our first night in the city of Montreal. Alex made our night amazing. I appreciate him so much for just taking the time to listen to us being late in traffic & was a bit behind on our reservation. The lady upfront said no & he saved the night. Thank you soooo much ALEX. Food was top notch
The food was good overall. The salad could have used a bit more dressing, but the meat was cooked to my taste. The service was decent, there was no discrimination, & the atmosphere was relaxed
Nice views, great presentation… terrible taste. The'Donegani' tasted like the rice had construction worker boot juice in it. The duck was just meh, poor Donald Duck didn't deserve this.
You're paying for the location, not the food.
I rarely leave bad reviews, but whoever designed this menu… I hate you. Save your money people & go somewhere else.

Je n'ai jamais eu un service aussi mauvais que ce soir. Employé #7 a fait preuve d'un grand manque de respect. Aucun regard, aucune courtoisie & aucun sourire. Le lieu est incroyable mais le service fait l'expérience. Faites mieux.
Overall, it was a nice experience for our group of six. We chose the 5-course meal, which was enjoyable overall, but the pork dish was disappointing-it was undercooked & quite chewy, so I wouldn't recommend it. The service was okay, but we felt a bit rushed throughout the evening. I expected a more relaxed & attentive dining experience.

I've eaten at Enigma in Barcelone, La Tannière in Vieux Québec, & the Hiatus ranks amongst them. Innovative menu, surprising & delectable combinations, excellent wine pairings. I highly recommend the 5 course'off menu' menu. You will not be disappointed. The sommelier is excellent & the wine pairings thoughtful.
