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.
Magnifique place pour manger des huîtres, ca fait 3 fois que l'on revient & le service est toujours aussi génial. Une très bonne place pour un date night. La propriétaire est très passionné elle vous conseillera sans aucun doute.

Are you kidding What an amazing restaurant!!! The oysters were incredible so was the rest. Our 2 waitresses did a perfect job!!! Definitely coming back!!!
Nous avons pris le menu MTL à Table. En général c'était bien, pas trop extraordinaire mais c'était bon. La crème brûlée était excellente, il y en avait un au chocolat & l'autre à la vanille. L'ambiance est calme, nous y sommes allée à l'heure du souper. La crème était bonne, mais pas d'accompagnement. Les pâtes goûtaient plus l'huile, & comme vous pouvez voir, il n'y a pas beaucoup de viande. La pieuvre goûtait plus le poulet. Mais la serveuse nous a bien servie, & bien expliquée le menu +++
We went for the MTL à Table with a 3 course meal for 50$ each & it was worth it. Total cost was 160$ with drinks & tips. Stay alert for the Table d'hôte for 40$, the maple octopus & cajun seafood boil was delicious! Strongly recommended. Staff was nice & service was good!

Incredible service, food, & atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone. The octopus was the best I've ever had, marinated well & tender all the way through. Worth the money, worth the stop.
This restaurant is some of the best seafood I've ever had! If you are in Montreal, this is a must visit for fresh food, amazing cocktails & an even better atmosphere!
