With its tropical-inspired setting and bustling bar, this hidden gem on the 4th floor of the William Gray Hotel exudes a vacation vibe. Guests gather here throughout the day to indulge in a truly festive culinary experience while enjoying picturesque views of Old Montreal. The versatile terrace, equipped for any weather with its retractable cover and heating, invites al fresco dining all summer long, extending the outdoor season well into autumn.
Le Perché Bar Terrasse offers a rooftop experience with a scenic view of Old Montreal that guests consistently praise. The atmosphere and vibe are described as lively yet refined, with the terrace, lighting, and cityscape creating a memorable backdrop. Food and drinks are frequently highlighted as delicious and generously portioned, ranging from brunch staples to modern plates and standout cocktails. Service is repeatedly noted as attentive, friendly, and efficient, with the team often going above and beyond to accommodate guests. The terrace is a key draw for celebrations and relaxed evenings alike, and many visitors say they would return to enjoy the view and the overall experience, even when a visit involves a wait or a busy moment.
Very attentive service, location is great. Portions are small for the coquilles saint jacques starter (they were sliced very thinly). The shrimps are yummy.
-Updated review!-
I come to this terrace quite often, & it never disappoints. The atmosphere is great, but what really keeps me coming back is the team. Daniel & Anthony make some of the best cocktails I've had. Always refined, creative, & genuinely interesting to taste. You can tell they really know what they're doing, & they're both incredibly friendly & welcoming, always with a smile.
Dana, the hostess, is just as wonderful. She's attentive, accommodating, & makes sure everything runs smoothly from the moment you arrive. It's rare to find a place where the service stands out this much.
Highly recommend if you're looking for great drinks & food & an all-around warm, enjoyable experience with a view.

Great rooftop spot with deliciously made modern Asian selections & a great cocktail selection. My waiter Camila did fantastic in providing recommendations & timely service!
Camilla was a fantastic server for our party of nine, especially when the bees were becoming a nuisance at our table. She also graciously replaced a cocktail that was overly sweet, & not described as sweet on the menu.
Nous avons passé un bon moment sur cette terrasse qui offre une magnifique vue sur Montréal. Nous étions placés à une bonne table sur la terrasse en contrebas.
La nourriture est bonne mais nous avons trouvé nos plats un peu trop salés (notamment les frites).
Nous sommes par contre un peu déçus du service où nous avons un peu attendus pour commander & la serveuse n'était pas très aimable.
Sinon, nous recommandons de manière général. Bon choix de plats & de cocktails.

Terrasse découverte fortuitement. Bien que moins hautes que certaines hautes terrasses, elle offre des super plans de vus de la ville & du Fleuve, du Cirque du Soleil & de ce qui se passe au Vieux-Port. L'ambiance du restaurant est agréable. La musique n'est pas trop forte & de bon goût. L'endroit est très bien entretenu contrairement à d'autres terrrasses où les cocktails mal ramassés attirent les abeilles. Le personnel était sympathique, courtois, charmant, professionnel & à l'écoute de leurs clients. Ils ont des interactions personnalisées avec tout un chacun. La complicité entre l'équipe du restaurant fait que le service est rapide & complémentaire. La cuisine est rafraîchissante. Le menu offre une belle variété de plats(poissons, mets végétariens, volailles, viandes rouges) de même que de prix. La présentation des plats est soignée & attrayante. Je recommande à tout prix cette terrasse, que ce soit pour un 5 à 7 entre amis ou collègues, un anniversaire, une première date ou après une journée au Vieux-Port, ce restaurant vaut le détour.
Camillo is the best ever!! Such an amazing service, super friendly & caring about the clients, very considerate & making our experience so much better. We really enjoyed being there with my friend, amazing view , amazing cocktails & honestly having such a good service makes us want to come back! 😊
The view is great & it feels very cozy up there. I had the tuna tartare which was also excellent & felt good on late summer nights. The only downside were the cocktails. I got two & both were watery with not much taste or flavors. I have had better in other places in Montreal.
pour ma part j'ai vraiment adoré mon expérience, je crois que c'est le meilleur burger que j'ai manger sans exagérer & les frites étaient parfaite, croustillantes mais pas over cooked & normalement j'aime pas trop les frite de patates douce mais eux j'ai rien a dire! l'ambiance & la vue était superbe le service aussi, seul petit bémol c'étais le temps d'attente du plat principal, on m'a dit qu'il avait un manque de staff je crois d'où le retard & le serveur n'arrêtait pas de s'excuser & de nous faire un retour en disant que sa allait plus être très long, je suis vraiment compréhensive face a leurs travail mais mon ventre avait faim je pouvais pas m'empêcher d'être un peut impatiente après environ 30 a 40 minutes, le gérant est venue nous voir a la fin pour nous demander notre expérience, j'ai dit que j'ai vraiment rien a dire que tout étais parfait sauf le temps d'attente, pour s'excuser il nous a offert un cocktail gratuit qu'il a fait lui même, over all je retournerais a ce restaurant c'est sur!
(be prepared to pay $20 minimum ) I am glad that I was able to make a reservation for that evening, considering that two other terraces cancelled their reservations 1-3 days before that evening. The atmosphere & the view of the old port & the wheel were really wonderful, the drinks surprised with their variety, green flag is simply the best shot I have tried, there are cocktails of different volumes, different strengths, exceptionally pleasant staff, no problem serving in two languages, fast service. A good place for an evening in an open-air bar, or under the roof.
This terrace has one of the nicest view in old montreal!🥰service was also good, drink i loved it, & If you like Tequila there is a cocktail with ingredients of Mezcal, Tequila, orange bitter.. I really enjoyed the taste! also I really enjoyed the perche salad. If you plan to go on weekend I highly recommend to book it on open table in advance. This restaurant is closed in winter times.
