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.
J'adore cette endroits ! Toujours un plaisir de venir ici pour le service & les fruits de mers. Les huîtres rockafellers à tomber par terre. Par la suite on complète par un filet mignon plus que exquis 👌 Un incontournable sur la rue St Laurent!

Had a lovely meal. Came without a reservation, sopping wet from a rain storm, & was seated immediately (& given a towel to dry off). Food came quickly & was excellent. Cheaper than other platters seen online.
Absolutely amazing! Fool properly seasoned for an exciting flavour palate! The corn & risotto were the major stars! Owner Ilene real world charm & attentiveness... Caribbean folks you will find lots to enjoy here!
Je suis super intéressée tout était bien emballé pour la livraison & absolument rien n'a coulé! Belle expérience que nous avions eu, avec des moules bien fraîches ainsi que savoureuse. De plus, le prix est plus que raisonnable. Je recommande vivement.

Der letzte Abend in Montreal soll etwas ganz besonderes sein?. Da kommt eigentlich nichts anderes in Frage! Das Seafoodrestaurant der Spitzenklasse. Die Qualität und der Geschmack sprengen die Schmackofatzoskala! Absolute Empfehlung!
Stopped by for the first time ever today visiting from the states. We got the Big Seafood Platter on ice. It serves two nicely & everything tasted really fresh. We had one of the best whiskey sours we have ever had. The staff was kind & helpful.
This is an amazing place, everything is awesome, the king crab & the scallops are the jewels of the crown. If you are visiting the beautiful Montreal or live here you need to visit this place. Greetings from Playa del Carmen, MX
Quel beau restaurant! Le restaurant est impeccable, l'ambiance fantastique & le service incroyable! La nourriture était excellente 👍🏻... Bravo 🙌 Cheers 🥂
Our server was very attentive & the food was exquisite! May be the best bruschetta I ever had. & the hot sauces that came with the oysters paired well & were fun to use since they came with droppers.
