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.
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.
Sophie is, unironically, one of the best bartenders in the biz. Great knowledge of spirits, a gifted mixologist, & a real touch for service. You can tell she loves what she does!
Such beautiful views. I had an idea of a cocktail I liked & Sophie made me an incredible tequila based cocktail that was unforgettable. Food was fresh & delicious. I only had a few appetizers but I can't wait to come back for a while meal experience!!!
Un 60e anniversaire parfait. Le'meu degustation 5 services' etait delicieux, service excellent, & l'atmosphère avec vue magnifique sur Montreal en soirée.
This restaurant is breathtaking & offers an incredible view of the sunset. Service is great. Food is delicious. Cocktails are original.
Everything is pricey, but worth it!
The atmosphere, views, & food are all good. However, they need to manage their seating arrangements much better. Our group of 3 specifically reserved a window table, but we weren't given one upon arrival. I would understand if none were available, but that wasn't the case. The staff had seated a party of 2 at a 4-person window table, while there were numerous 2-person window tables completely empty next to it. If they had simply seated the couple at an available 2-person table, our group could have enjoyed the window table we reserved.
Excellent repas dans une ambiance tamisée très agréable. Nous avons opté pour le menu dégustation en 5 services. Tout était excellent avec de bons produits & des goûts justes. On ne peut que recommander !
Nous avons pris le menu dégustation. Tous les plats étaient incroyables & délectables. Le service professionnel & au dessus de mes attentes. Une soirée inoubliable grâce au service & au chef. Merci à vous ! Soyez certain que je vais référer votre restaurant
