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.
I really enjoyed the food here. We got these PEI oysters that were actually really meaty but mild in flavor. It came with a really cute squeeze bottle that had hot sauce in it. I just had to look at it. We ordered a double ravioli which was the highlight of our meal. I honestly wished there more pieces because 6 pieces was literally a tease. It was buttery & flavorful, & just a well executed ravioli. The sauce on the plate really added to it.
My only complaint was the bison tartare. I didn't really feel it needed that pastry shell? I'm not sure what it was. I also felt like the tartare could have been seasoned more. However, the grilled octopus came out & I forgot all about the tartare. The octopus was perfectly cooked & had a good texture. The sauce that it came with was also very flavorful. All in all, most of our food was very good. It is on the pricier side I would say for the quantity that you get, but I also feel like restaurants get expensive these days because of recession etc. I would have been more upset if all the food was mediocre. But the food was cooked well, so I'm not totally mad about the price.
The overall vibes of the restaurant is very cool & somehow felt very Canadian? I'm not sure how to explain it. Just the overall look & the design & decor made me feel like I was in a Canadian place.

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.
In a city full of great restaurants, this place is special. One of the best vibes ever, & great food in an approachable setting. I wish this place was in my city.
This is the exact vibe I'm looking for. Fantastic drinks, service & food in an unpretentious & lively atmosphere.
Works for both special occasions & casual get-togethers.
I've been coming here for years for the oysters, whelks, & natural wine, especially the Cantillon lambic, which is tough to find in Montreal. The vibe is warm, the service friendly & down-to-earth. It's one of our go-to spots for starting or ending a date night, & always a great midweek hangout with friends. Definitely worth a visit!

The vibes here can't be beat! Also the food was so tasty! The lamb skewers we had were top notch! Only complaint was the portions were small & I could have eaten 10 more plates because it was so good!
Cute place! Food was too expensive for tiny portions & the crispy beef was not great…. Like it was just mid. Gnocchi gave stomach pains. Meh. Good vibe maybe just for drink.
Thanks to Emily for all these olives. The food is A1. The service is... an acquired taste. You kind of have to love being in a confined space & having little table room. But it's a vibe, surely purposeful. Feels very it-girl. I'm down. Sometimes. 5/5 so long as you get what you're in fo
I moved to the area recently & have been here three times in a month. This place is the s$&t. Seriously, the vibe, staff & seafood are incredible. & oh yeah Dylan is so professional, fun, friendly & just has everything handled. Even when I left my CC the first time I was there, he messaged me on IG to let me know, which I didn't ha until I read his message the next day. Places like this are why I go out! Stay awesome @Majestiquestaff
Absolutely love this place! Such a great vibe with very tasty food & spot-on service. The cider was pricey for a can. Highly highly recommend for a night out with friends or a dinner date! Oh & also, try their foccacia ;)
Good vibes & decent food. We ordered the whelks & it was tasty. Tasted like garlic butter & the focaccia was nice to soak up all the flavours. Resto is a little tight & squishy so sitting on the terrasse was nice.
