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.

Wow where to begin with highly overrated place called Hiatus. To begin with my girlfriend took me out here for my birthday expecting a great place to have both a beautiful view & great food but turns out all we got was a great view of the city that we had to wait 20min to get our seat even tho we reserved for 8:30pm.The waitress seemed very knowledgeable & as she described the entree dish the TARTELETTE DE FOIE GRAS which consisted of a pear ( yes the actual fruit) served with noisette,shisho & foie gras so we took a chance & tried it out ... oh my what a completely upside down experience now i get why this place sounded similar to Hiatus Invertus which translates to when your organs are upside down. The chef needs to rethink his menu that was absolutely disgusting & unedible... i dont know whats on his mind but certainly made us want to leave immediately which we did. Overall only good thing about this place is the ambiance & city view.
We made the reservation for 2, but then wanted to invite friends & change it to four. We weren't able to modify the reservation online, & when we tried calling were told the only way to modify a reservation was online. When we arrived, we had a four top & could have invited our friends - we had a wonderful experience, however it would have been nice to have been able to modify the reservation to add more people.
Wonderful evening & experience! The view of the city at night si simply stunning. The food is great! The team is also great & especially Alex was excellent! Definitely we Weill be back soon!

Hiatus has the best service around. Top notch, personal, attentive to detail & non-pretentious. Not only that but combined with the beautiful view & the delicious food, you'd be in for a wonderful time.
The food & service was fantastic. Wishing you much success & that Hiatus becomes a landmark of a location to dine for all montrealers & tourists. Merci
