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.
J'y étais avec mon Mari pour un souper en amoureux le service était incroyable la nourriture est exquise on mange bien & on est vite rassasié, pour le personnel rien à dire principalement Emmanuelle Jennifer & Antoine un grand merci à vous pour cette belle soirée mémorable je recommande vivement & c'est sûr que je reviendrai
J'ai passé une excellente soirée chez Makro Montréal ! La nourriture était vraiment délicieuse, tout comme les cocktails, & l'ambiance était top. Un endroit où on se sent bien & où la qualité est au rendez-vous. Je recommande vivement (& j'y retournerai) !
Food was good but service was terrible (we don't know her name but the french girl), forgot our order & was arrogant even. Our bill was 450$ & we had to leave 40$ tip (we never left this low a tip before). We had a birthday & she didn't do nothing & she never gave us excuses. Worst service ever from a good restaurant!

Decor & ambiance was nice. Service was good but Food was horrible. Picanha was like a chewing gum, Not meat... impossible to swallow. Beetroot not good. Salmon sashimi not good (full of oily chips & coriander) Fries very oily & supposed to come with béarnaise sauce but it came with spicy mayonnaise. Only good thing was burrata.
Arthur & his team have been great with us. We are never disappointed on the food & service . Félicitations à tous très bonne place avec amis, famille, ou meeting d'affaire
Superbe expérience! La cuisine était délicieuse & le service impeccable. Nous y sommes allés pour un anniversaire & nous avons eu le droit à une jolie bougie sur le dessert. Merci beaucoup!
J'ai eu le plaisir de célébrer mon anniversaire avec de nombreux amis samedi dernier, & tout était parfait! Un grand merci à toute l'équipe, tant en cuisine qu'au service! C'était un moment inoubliable dans une ambiance feutrée. Je recommande vivement, & le Makro & le King Crab!
La nourriture est excellente & le service est très bon. Cela dit, comme dans beaucoup de restaurants à Montreal, la musique est un peu forte & on a du mal à s'entendre.
Un 10/10, cela fait un moment deja que je n'ai pas expérimenter un restaurant à Montreal où tout était parfait comme au Makro. La serveuse était souriante , aimable & au petits soins ( les autres staff du restaurant également) , la nourriture était pour nous excellente, de bonne portions, des saveurs délicieuse & surtout la qualité des aliments!! Beau restaurant avec un décor bohème , une belle ambiance avec musique en fin de soirée, je reviendrai certainement!!
I have to say the food was absolutely amazing, but I'm really disappointed with the service. First, our food came out in three batches, so we had to awkwardly watch each other eat while waiting. I ordered a surf & turf with my steak cooked medium-well, but it came overcooked, I would even say it was more than well-done. They also messed up my father side dish TWO times. He ordered mashed potatoes & served him fries the first time & then a sweet potato before giving him the right side dish. We never got any kind of apology from the staff. Also, my mother had to wait an hour & a half for her fish, we think they probably forgot her order. Usually we wouldn't say anything, but my mother is a diabetic & it can get quite dangerous for her to wait 45 minutes for her food after her insulin injection. Lastly, we were charged two times for the Surf & Turf, but nowhere in the menu is it written that this plate is for two person & that they charge the amount times two. We gently asked our server for an explanation & she answered us "you should've asked me if it was for one or two". We went to Grinder a few months ago & it was clearly written on the menu there. When we simply suggested that they add this detail on their menu to avoid confusion, she went to talk to her manager, came back & just dropped the credit card machine on our table without an apology or an explanation. We are not cheap people & it truly did not bother us to pay for it, we just wanted details to better understand our bill & make sure that it was only a miscommunication & not a mistake. However, I found it extremely insulting the way the staff treated us when we asked for an explanation. The restaurant was empty as it was a tuesday night & even so the service was terrible. I won't be coming back. I'm usually not a picky client, but when we pay over a 100$ per person the least we expect is good service.
