Makro is described as a stylish and energetic dining spot with an upscale vibe, where the food and overall experience are frequently praised. The menu includes standout items like seafood starters, a surf and turf option, and a burrata, with many finding the quality high and the portions satisfying, though some dishes are criticized as being bland, overly sauced, or not hot enough and prices can feel steep. Service is often highlighted as attentive and friendly, contributing to a positive atmosphere, yet a few reviews note slow pacing between courses or lapses such as forgotten items or pressure about tipping. The atmosphere ranges from lively club like energy to more intimate dining, and some guests appreciate the after dinner options downstairs while others prefer quieter conversations. Taken together, Makro is viewed as a top Montreal choice for celebrations and dinners with strong food, vibe, and staff, albeit with occasional service inconsistencies and price considerations.
Wonderful food & service. We were a large group & had a menu. The cocktails were pretty good & you have many wine choices. One of the best things one the menu is the octopus, the truffle mashed potatoes. Desserts were ok & not very delicate but felt more homey & appropriate for the cold weather.
Une belle alternative quand le Grinder le restaurant voisin est plein. J'ai aimé l'attention d'aller chercher le Tomahawk au Grinder pour me faire plaisir.
Had the pleasure of going a few weeks ago with friends for a birthday. Great ambiance... Steve was a phenomenal host & made sure our group was very well taken care of... Clara served us & she was super attentive to the service. We split the larger steak platter & quite a few apps. it was great. Very well cooked. We were a group of 10+ & they were more than able to accommodate us. I've seen recently they updated the menu for fall. Can't wait to try the new dishes
My husband & I got the rice cakes & the sea bass to share. Everything was fantastic. We asked to be seated in Arthur's section after reading the Google reviews, he's a manager now & came to say hi, extremely friendly & kind fellow. He even took pictures of us when we asked!
This place is so beautifully setup & the service is a 10/10! Right from the hosts to waiters & waitress everyone was super polite & the food was exceptionally delicious! The potions a great too! What surprises is the fact that it's owned by Grinder a place I have 3 terrible experiences when it came to service, the 2 a totally different when it comes to customer service. Here we weren't asked to leave right after our meal to make room for the next customer.

Bonne ambiance dans ce restaurant ! Nicollo & Arthur ce sont très bien occupés de nous au bar, super service, cuisine raffinée 👌 Bref, Très bonne adresse !
I went for my birthday as a group of 20, we had an extremely affordable group menu where the food was absolutely delicious & the service was fantastic. It was the first time for many people there, & pretty much everyone said they would come back.
10/10 would recommend.
A super nice spot in Montreal center. The vibe of the place was a moody & dim with the perfect combination of lightly dim areas. The decor is to die for. The staff & service were extremely nice & the food was something else. I recommend the rice cake tuna tartare as a starter. I took the burger as a main, & despite it not being the easiest to eat it was absolutely worth it. Definitely would repeat.
