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 visited Le Majestique on a Thursday night, & it's easy to see why the place was packed & lively. I was there solo & had a reservation at the bar, which was the perfect spot to soak in the quirky, homey atmosphere. The service was spot on-attentive enough that I never had to wait for anything, but they definitely didn't hover.
The food was a highlight. I started with a half dozen oysters, which were incredibly fresh. I also ordered the fries-seriously, get them, they are great! For my main, I went with the special, which was the beef cheeks, & I finished things off with the homemade panna cotta. It was all quite good & felt very authentic.
As for the drinks, they are definitely on the heavier & stronger side, which I personally quite enjoyed. If you're looking for a spot with great energy & solid food in Montreal, I'd highly recommend making a reservation here.
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!

Three of us had 4(?) dozen delicious PEI oysters presented beautifully by the amazing Raf. Wonderful conversation. Wonderful drinks. Just a great way to enjoy an evening in Montréal.
Excellente expérience du début à la fin. Le personnel est super accueillant & le service est rapide sans être pressant. Les portions sont généreuses & les saveurs sont vraiment au rendez-vous. C'est le genre d'endroit parfait pour venir manger entre amis ou en famille.
Loved everything about this cute bar! The food was delicious & the drinks were even better! Staff was super attentive & the interior was cozy & cute! I loved everything about it!
I had an amazing espresso martini & then split the ravioli & risotto! Highly recommend!
J'y suis aller avec des amies, & nous sommes toutes les trois ressortis satisfaites! La nourriture était délicieuse de A à Z & notre serveuse était super sympathique. Je recommande.

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.

Such a wonderful delightful night. we went to celebrate my brother & his fiancée's new engagement, & we were treated like royalty!!! our waiter took such good care of us, being attentive & relaxed, exactly what hospitality should be. The food was fantastic, (the foie mousse, little gem caesar, the seafood tower) & the scene was very cool. I could not recommend Le Majestique enough!
Chicken liver mousse dont sleep on it. Drinks were good. Super chill time. Food came out quickly. Overall a good experience. Had some friends go the next night & they messed up the allergies. Not good.
Anyhow. Roll the dice.

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.
The food was amazing... especially the mackerel spread. However the service was really appalling to the point where the busboy had better service than the waiter. We asked the neighbouring table which said the exact same thing.....
Too bad there's no name on the receipt but she had some sort of attitude where she didn't want to be there...
