Makro specializes in raw, grilled, and fried seafood preparations focused on the natural textures of ocean ingredients. The menu highlights Mediterranean-inspired preparations alongside techniques that emphasize the salinity and freshness of the catch. Patrons encounter a raw bar featuring oysters, crudo, and shrimp, while the kitchen employs high-heat grilling to char whole fish and crustacean selections. The physical space incorporates industrial design elements with communal seating, fostering an environment centered on direct access to ingredients. Salt, acidity, and aromatic herbs dictate the flavor profiles across the various plates. This establishment prioritizes a modern approach to the traditional fish house, stripped of complex garnishes to ensure the focus remains on the product itself. The arrangement of the room supports a fast-paced flow, reflecting the high-volume nature of fresh seafood service.
Makro generally receives positive feedback for its vibrant atmosphere, stylish decor, and high-quality food, making it a popular choice for celebrations and social outings. Many visitors praise the attentive service and skillful staff, noting that the restaurant offers a memorable dining experience characterized by sophisticated menu items and a lively, modern ambiance. While some patrons report inconsistencies in food quality, service delays, or frustrations regarding professional etiquette and billing issues, the overall consensus highlights the restaurant as a trendy, worthwhile destination for those seeking an upscale night out in Montreal.
Expérience très décevante au Makro. Dès le début, le service a été désorganisé : les plats sont arrivés à des moments complètement différents, ce qui a empêché notre groupe de manger ensemble.
De plus, la pieuvre était très caoutchouteuse, clairement trop cuite. Lorsque nous l'avons mentionné au serveur, celui-ci n'a pas pris notre commentaire en considération & aucune solution n'a été proposée.
À la fin du repas, le serveur nous a indiqué que les desserts étaient offerts, mais par la suite un superviseur est intervenu pour tenter d'« arranger » la situation, sans jamais réellement prendre responsabilité. Il a plutôt justifié les problèmes en expliquant que les plats sont difficiles à préparer & qu'il est compliqué de coordonner les groupes - ce que je trouve inacceptable pour un restaurant de ce niveau.
Pour s'excuser, on nous a offert le dessert gratuit… alors qu'il l'était déjà, tel que mentionné par le serveur. Aucune vraie reconnaissance des erreurs ni geste commercial réel.
By far, one of the best restaurants we've been to in Montreal. The food, the service & ambiance was on point! They waitress & bar tender gave us an excellent service & we came out of there as very happy customers. Big thank you to Leola for her good vybes & making us extra confortable. Top recommandation!!

Très bon resto avec un ambiance un peu boîte de nuit
Je ne recommande pas pour de longues conversations, il peut être difficile de s'entendre
La nourriture est un peu chère mais sophistiquée
Si vous aimez la vibe moderne branchée c'est pour vous
I am veeeeeeeerry happy with my experience at Makro. Beautiful aesthetically pleasing restaurant. As a Montrealer that tries to avoid tourist traps to the best of my ability, Makro is a place that has made me very happy at all fronts & i would recommend it. The quality/ price is on point. On top of not being extremely expensive (in comparison to hot spots in Montreal, which i would consider this restaurant as being one). The quality, quantity, service time & service quality was immaculate. We received excellent suggestions depending on our tastes for cocktails. Even one of my drinks was too sweet, the server happily suggested they remake it & the let us keep the previous drink. We were very well attended. Despite the fact that we stayed longer (because we were having a good time) & other reservations were made for our table, we were instructed to go to the Speak easy down stairs to finish our drink. There, is the King Crab club which is also one of my favorite places. For the inconvenience, the barman downstairs offered our first drinks on the house. We ended up staying until very late & having an absolute blast. In the King Crab area we could sit, despite it being a club, & there was no issue. Will be back, & i highly recommend it. The music is also very good. Go for a good night.
Super resto ! Service 5 étoiles , nourriture très gourmande avec de super produits.
Je recommande.
Encore merci au staff pour l'accueil & le service :)
