Super cute place, yummy food, our server Vlada so kind, we came for girls night, had giiri dinner of truffle mushroom dumings & general tap chicken & the playlist is a goodie too!
I had an absolutely incredible experience at Makao in Montreal. From the moment we walked in, everything felt elevated - great atmosphere, amazing energy, & top-tier service.
Our waitress, Vlada, was truly outstanding. She was attentive without being overbearing, incredibly friendly, & made the whole experience feel special. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests, & it made a huge difference.
The food was just as impressive. I ordered the Szechuan steak, & it was cooked perfectly - tender, flavorful, & exactly what I was hoping for. Every bite was spot on. & the Dragon Margarita… wow. Easily one of the best cocktails I've had - bold, balanced, & absolutely delicious.
Between the service, the food, & the drinks, this place knocked it out of the park. I would highly recommend Makao to anyone visiting Montreal, & I'll definitely be back.
