Review Summary

Hiatus is widely recognized for its spectacular, panoramic views of Montreal, which provide a stunning backdrop for special occasions and dates. While the atmosphere is frequently described as elegant and the staff often praised for their professionalism and warmth, the dining experience receives mixed feedback. Many guests find the French-Japanese fusion cuisine to be flavorful, refined, and beautifully presented, particularly highlighting dishes like the milk bread, octopus, and filet. However, recurring criticisms point to high pricing, small portion sizes, and inconsistencies in service, with some visitors feeling rushed or neglected despite the premium cost. While many consider it an unforgettable destination that justifies the expense, others feel the value is not always aligned with the quality or quantity of food provided.

The setting is fantastic. It provides a magnificent view of Montreal. Unfortunately the food & service were not up to par. The lunch prix fixe was supposed to be $55, but instead they priced out everything separately & it came out to more than that. They also got my friend's order wrong, so she had to wait longer for her meal. & despite the fact that I told the waitress that it was her birthday she was not offered any bubbly or small dessert! I have called the restaurant 3x to try to discuss these matters but no one has called me back. This is very bad customer service & completely unacceptable.

Emplacement & salle très intéressant. Service moyen. Hôte/Hotesse prennent juste le temps nécessaire pour les explications strictes, pas plus.
Prix un peu élevé pour la qualité. Finalement Rapport Qualité Prix trop élevé comparé avec des restaurants étoilés.
Menu drink/vin trop peu & pas assez de créativité.

Best view in the city! The staff were absolutely amazing & very friendly. The food was good too. They are know for their milkbread & it does not disappoint! We also had the filet & duck which were well prepared. The chocolate dessert was decadent & their after-meal tea selection is quite nice. They can make a mean cocktail but are also nonalcoholic friendly with a two mocktails of differing sweetness level & a nonalcoholic beer.

Excellent food- the cod, the ribs, the gyoza, octopus, the steak, lobster & duck all exceeded our expectations! The dessert was average but overall, it's one of the best restaurants we've eaten at in Montreal in a long time. Beautiful views & a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommend!
