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.
Belle ambiance & vue imprenable sur Montréal. La cuisine est raffinée avec un mélange original de plats français & japonais. Les portions sont petites mais l'idée de ce genre de restaurant est de découvrir de nouveaux plats plutôt que de se remplir le ventre.
Had an amazing dinner experience when we came here. The food was really delicious & everything was cooked beautifully. My favorite was their Huîtres au four (oysters) & Canard vieilli (duck). Our favorite cocktail was penthouse pearls, they had really tasty popping boba at the bottom. The views from this restaurant were stunning. The service was really good & they even swap out your utensils for different items. They are a bit pricey & the items are quite small but we still loved everything. Definitely would recommend trying!

Amazing views where the service is impeccable! Drinks are great, but honestly the food could be better. The shrimp noodles were not good at all & my $160 wagyu Australian was extremely ordinary to be honest. The hot sauces, edamame, & mash potatoes were decent but the star of the show were the ribs, which were absolutely delicious.
Hiatus, you have amazing views anywhere you sit ! HIATUS (means PAUSE in Latin, I asked) Fine cuisine with the perfect sides, their own bread & butter, wine selection, exceptional service, simply an amazing & exclusive experience ! I will return.
Excellente nourriture. Beau décor. Superbe vue, mais bien déçu de ne pas pouvoir obtenir un simple pain 🥖 avec mon menu midi… pourquoi les gens du midi ne peuvent-ils pas avoir de pain?
Celebrating my birthday dinner at Hiatus was an absolute pleasure! From the moment we stepped in, we were enchanted by the modern vintage atmosphere & the breathtaking 360 views of Montreal. It truly was love at first sight! The service surpassed all expectations. Our server went above & beyond, offering insightful recommendations & sharing details about the locally sourced ingredients used in our meal. Their dedication to quality & sustainability was truly commendable. For drinks, I savored the Penthouse Pearls, & it was an absolute delight. As for the food, every dish was a masterpiece. From the succulent pork ribs & aged duck to the divine Sticky toffee pudding, each bite was a culinary delight. My friend is already eager to return when they're in town again, which speaks volumes about the lasting impression this restaurant left on us. After our dinner, we ventured downstairs to Rose Orange, the restaurant & bar, where we enjoyed one more delicious cocktail while admiring the view once more. If you're seeking a memorable dining experience with breathtaking views, impeccable service, & mouthwatering cuisine, look no further than Hiatus. This restaurant truly has it all & more! Highly recommended. Merci Hiatus au personnel!

Super impressed with how beautiful the view is, it's truly incredible. The restaurant itself is good, the food/drinks are obviously great but you definitely go there mostly for the view/ambiance & ready to pay for that!
Une note parfaite sur toute la ligne. Je suis ravie d'avoir découvert ce merveilleux restaurant. Nourriture impeccable, vue & ambiance au top, mais petit bémol sur le service. Nous avons pris un cocktail lors de notre arrivée mais lors du repas principal, c'est nous qui avons du demander le vin (les cocktails étaient terminés depuis l'entrée). Magnifique expérience, merci Hiatus 🩷
Très très cher pour ce que c'est & surtout les portions. En gardant les mêmes portions les prix devraient être au minimum 20% moins chers. Un pavé de flétan d'environ 160gr pour 56$... avec taxes & pourboire c'est 75$ le plat! & tu as encore faim après! Même à Paris on ne paie pas ca avec le taux de change. & le service devrait être plus resseré. J'ai l'impression de faire affaire avec les serveurs des Enfants Terribles mais avec les prix du Toqué. À ce prix... demandez à vos clients un certain niveau de code vestimentaire. 3 jeunes au bar avec la casquette de baseball à l'envers... ca fait cher & ca fait douche! Je ne pense pas y retourner.
Overall it was a great experience! The restaurant & bar is beautiful & very nicely decorated. The view is just amazing & i recommend going around 6:30 during summer time to see the sunset during your dining experience. The food was amazing with every dish being well balanced & presented with finesse. The staff were very friendly & professional & attentive to every guest in the restaurant. Prices are on the higher end, but you get what you pay for. Amazing experience & I will be going back!
