Le Majestique Montréal comes across as a lively, eclectic bar-restaurant with a baroque and quirky decor, a buzzing atmosphere and a setting that shines for oysters, small plates and cocktails. The menu is tapas style with a focus on seafood and shareable dishes, with many reviewers praising the oysters as fresh and well shucked, the octopus as perfectly cooked and the mackerel spread as a standout, while some items such as tortelloni or certain preparations receive mixed reactions. Cocktails and natural wines are a recurring highlight, with several guests praising attentive service and knowledgeable staff when they are on, though a few experiences report slower service, understaffing during peak hours, or a server who was not up to par. Prices are described as on the high side for portion sizes, some noting that portions feel small for the cost, but many feel the quality and atmosphere justify the expense. Reservations are advised as the place can get busy, with a summer terrace enhancing the experience, and the venue is lauded as a must-visit for a fun night out, a date, or a celebration, though allergies or dietary requests should be confirmed in advance due to occasional missteps. Overall, Le Majestique Montréal is celebrated for its distinctive vibe, inventive menu and strong seafood and drink program, offering a memorable Montreal dining experience despite some inconsistencies.
Truly the best fries I have ever had. We always stop here when we visit Montreal for a cocktail & a snack, or some oysters during happy hour. It never disappoints - especially when the patio is open in the summer. A classic!
Le Majestique est une place incroyable ! L'ambiance y est très agréable & le service est excellent.
Le top du top : la nourriture & les cocktails ! Nous avons passé une très bonne soirée.

I went here with my work for our holiday party & we had a great time. The menu is quite original & I found a group that wanted to share, as this is a tapas style restaurant, so I got to try a large variety of their plates. Everything was really good including the cocktails & the food, as well as the atmosphere & the staff. They have a standing area near the front which is great for office parties & lets you mingle more, as I find when you are seated you really only get to speak to the people right next to you. It is maybe a little bit on the expensive side but at the end it was well worth it as the whole group had a blast. It does get pretty busy, thus if you do have a large group you can choose a less busy time, as we did & it worked out great.
I had a lovely meal here with my partner tonight. The food, cocktails, wine & service were outstanding & the restaurant is beautifully decorated. Prices were also very reasonable. Both of us left saying 10/10
Really good food with some really great cocktails (the one with cachaça is the best) & the most attentive service i've had. Server knows everything about the menu & gives good recommendations. Really good place & super recommend it! 10/10
Quelle belle soirée passée au Majestique! Le décor est savoureusement baroque, la salle étant remplie d'éléments hétéroclites (voir les langues de belle-mère dans les conserves de tomate ou les toutous géants au-dessus de la porte d'entrée), un décor qui rappelle le Darling, des mêmes propriétaires. Ne vous fiez pas seulement au menu en ligne, la carte sur place permet de belles découvertes.
Première surprise: les huîtres fraiches sont à 2,50$ avant 19h! Nous avons pu en déguster une dizaine, servies avec une mignonnette classique & une autre au vinaigre de cidre de pomme. Bel ajout que le raifort râpé. Les cocktails maison sont très bons bien que la présentation ne soit pas particulièrement soignée.
Le clou de la soirée fut certainement l'oursin. De gros morceaux, généreux, de gonade, servis dans la coquille, accompagnés d'une mousse d'oursin & des cubes de pomme verte, sauce ponzu. Vraiment un délice, qui m'a rappelé un soupe d'oursin dégustée il y a longtemps chez Toqué.
Le crudo de pétoncles, bien que bon, était un peu décevant. L'accompagnement de sésame finissait par dominer le goût plus délicat des pétoncles. On aurait préféré une touche d'acidité supplémentaire.
Le saumon mariné était une véritable exploration de textures diverses: feuilles de nori, tempura, concombres & fruits frais, légères touches de crème, pour mettre en valeur un saumon (pas si goûteux), mais très agréable.
Le service a été attentionné dans un premier temps (nous étions la 2e table installée), puis, à mesure que le restaurant s'est rempli, est devenu plus évanescent. Notre aimable serveur attitré s'est montré d'abord généreux dans ses commentaires & ses explications, mais a semblé rapidement débordé par les nouveaux clients, nous laissant un peu esseulés. L'aide ponctuelle d'une autre employée (face de marbre) ne nous a pas spécialement fait nous sentir appréciés.
Il reste que l'expérience fut très concluante. Le meilleur signe n'est-il pas quand les plats sont si intéressants que l'on ne peut qu'en parler de façon ininterrompue à table?
Joli restaurant, malheureusement avec beaucoup de problèmes.
Vraiment déçu de notre expérience après de petites portions, des plats trop salés, des cocktails n'atteignant pas nos attentes & un service décevant. Un restaurant qui a certainement du potentiel mais n'a pas été à la hauteur ce soir.
Came in very late one night when I was incredibly hungry & in need of a good meal. Ordered a variety of their seafood dishes & was thoroughly impressed. As I often find myself getting off work when most restaurants have closed (excluding casse-crouts, shawarma, & fast food places), this has since become a go-to stop for me, & I have yet to be disappointed. On that first night that I came in , I also had the pleasure of meeting the gentleman who made my food (Cieran / Kieran, not sure about the spelling honestly) who - on top of having prepared some excellent bourgots & salmon tartare - was also very kind & hospitable. The same goes for the rest of the staff. No matter how busy it has been, they have always done their best to provide me with a welcoming vibe & a wonderful experience, & every visit so far has been fantastic.
For what it's worth, they also have an excellent cocktail, beer & wine menu.

Stopped by for early cocktails & it was right before the rush. The space is so beautifully decorated that it transports you into a vintage haven uniquely curated into magic. The bartender was excellent & kind enough to share some recommendations & create a cocktail to my liking. We ended up staying longer than expected & chose the cheese board which was phenomenal. Just a perfect way to close out our first day in Montreal! I look forward to visiting again soon!
Delicious oysters, amazing fries & an elaborate wine list! This restaurant serves beautiful small plates in a cocktail bar setting featuring moody chandeliers, fun decor & a bustling, noisy ambiance.

Omg ! Sarah is by far one of the greatest bartenders Ive ever encountered ! We asked her to look at our astrology charts & create something ghat represented us & she nailed it. In fact it was scary accurate … if you're looking for something different cuisine wise & an incredibly unique cocktail experience i highly recommend
We randomly popped into this spot on a Sunday & couldn't be happier that we did! The food & service were incredible, & our bartender Sarah was truly next level. Not only was she super knowledgeable about pairing drinks with our meal, but she's also an astrology queen who whipped up the most fun, personalized cocktails for me & my bestie based on our charts. She was such a gem, as was the entire staff. 10/10 experience, can't wait to come back! ✨
Bar du Plateau Mont-Royal très fréquenté. Nous avons eu droit à un bel accueil. La déco est superbe. Nous avons dégusté un cocktail au bar qui manquait une touche d'alcool. Le service était courtois. Sachez que la nourriture est offerte en style tapas. La meilleure façon pour un restaurateur de vous offrir peu & de vous charger un prix maximum. Les portions sont très petites pour le prix demandé. Il n'y avait aucune indication sur le site du resto ou sur le menu. Toutefois, les huîtres étaient fraîches & délicieuses. Je vous recommande pour un verre dans une ambiance du Plateau, mais pas pour y manger.
