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.
The brunch food was absolutely delicious. The chicken & waffles were to die for. Very good service, nice views & decent drinks - the food was the most exceptional part of the dining experience though. A great stop on any visit to Montreal

Great food, great drinks, great service, great view. What an amazing place! My wife & I went here today on a recommendation from our tour guide, & he was spot on. The small bites were wonderful. The drinks were fantastic. We were given a table overlooking Place Jacques-Cartier on a beautiful fall day, & could not be more satisfied. Our server, Alexis, was outstanding. Just an overall great experience!
This was my first time visiting Montreal, & I decided to treat myself to a solo visit to this restaurant & I'm so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, especially thanks to Alistair, the gentleman who took my order. His customer service was truly 10/10 so kind, attentive, & genuine. He made me feel completely at ease dining alone, & that made the experience extra special. The food, drinks, & view were all amazing, but it was Alistair's warm & professional service that really stood out. I'll definitely be back!
Great spot with a great view, & the variety of drinks is also great. when it rains, the roof covers up the terrasse, so i'm glad i didn't cancel my reservation.
We went for a girls night / 21st birthday & our waitress Emna was amazing!! She gave us shots & dessert to celebrate & gave phenomenal recommendations for other food & drinks! 10/10 experience!!
Amazing emplacement to hangout with friends under the sun while enjoying fancy drinks & tasty food. Our waiter David was super agreeable & delivered a great service. The only ick is that it took a good moment before we received the drinks. Overall we will definitely come back this summer to enjoy another moment there :)
Loved my visit to Perche!! I went to just have a drink & enjoy the rooftop & I had the best service. Diego was so kind & made the BEST drinks!!! It was such a fun environment watching Diego & the others work.
DAVID WAS AMAZING!!! He was so kind, caring, attentive, & welcoming, really uplifted our spirits & made our experience unlike no other. The drinks were really good, but the service from David is what made our experience amazing. We will come to visit Montreal just to have this kind of experience again!
The rooftop offers stunning views, & the bartenders are skilled at crafting unique drinks. Zack stood out for being fun & incredibly hospitable, making the experience even more enjoyable.
(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.
