Maestro S.V.P. on the trendy St-Laurent Boulevard in Montreal's Le Plateau area is specialized in seafood. The Chef creates daily adventures with thier new cuisine du marché concept. Their Maestro Platter, for example, is filled with their specialties: clams, king crab, steamed mussels, coconut shrimps, bruschetta, maestro calamari, lobster, chicken, shrimp satays and their accompanying five sauces.
Maestro S.V.P is widely praised for its seafood focus, especially oysters, with reviewers calling the oyster selection among the best in Montreal and noting flavors from shrimp and octopus to lobster dishes and lobster mac and cheese. The atmosphere is described as lively, warm, and intimate, with friendly, attentive service and the owner often cited as a welcoming, knowledgeable presence who enhances the experience. Several diners highlight creative touches like octopus with maple citrus and ceviche, and the tapas style offerings that invite trying a variety of dishes. While most feedback is glowing, a few readers mention high prices and occasional delays or a tipping policy that felt forced, and some note that the owner is retiring soon, encouraging visits before the closure. Taken together, the reviews portray Maestro S.V.P as a standout, unique seafood spot with generous portions, a memorable personal touch, and strong recommendations for oyster lovers and those seeking a vibrant Montreal dining experience, albeit at a premium.
We walked buy & saw it was an oyster bar so we stopped in. They had all different kinds that I haven't seen in the U.S....even ones from the U.S. Our waitress gave us a delicious mix & recommended a tasty wine to go with the oysters! We will most likely be coming back in our 4 day visit to Montreal!!
Nous avons été servie par la propriétaire. Elle est gentille & nous a donné le meilleur des services. Le restaurant est beau avec des touches de rose parle & néon. C'est très jolie & trendy. Un souper d'amoureux plus que parfait !!

Je crois que les meilleurs huîtres à Montréal sont chez Maestro! 🤤 Vous donnez votre budget & ils se chargent de vous donner une excellente sélection variée d'huîtres des Maritimes, du Pacifique & de la Nouvelle-Angleterre! ❤️ c'est excellent!
Went there for my birthday. Loved everything about this place. The atmosphere was very inviting, the stuff very friendly & food was amazing. They surprised me with a birthday song. Loved it.
Nourriture excellente ! Nous avons testé la table d'hôte du mardi soir (40$) & c'était une belle expérience, tous les plats étaient très bon. Je recommande fortement !!
