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.
When the reservation was late the hostess took care of us & gave us shots & drinks on the house. Arthur them have a great service along with a phenomenal meal. Bartender made great espresso martinis to finish the night off. Night started slow but finished amazing, will be back soon.
Le personnel a été fantastique & attentionné.
On nous a bien guidé sur les choix de repas & de vin pour une merveilleuse expérience gastronomique!
Les repas étaient frais & savoureux.
À noter que nous avion parmi nous une personne allergique aux poissons! Ils ont un excellent contrôle des contaminations croisée puis il s’en est sortie idem!
Je recommande sans aucune hesitation ce restaurant!
Amazing night at Makro for my birthday. What a delightful & delicious evening. Every meal was served well & hot. Everything was perfect. They even brought out cake. Thank you to the hard working staff & everyone that made tonight so special. Will be back more often.
Loved the experience! Definitely recommend Makro if you’re looking for a great dinner.
The service was excellent. Everyone was very attentive & waiters made sure we got the perfect wine pairing with our meal. Food came quick & waiters checked up on us regularly.
As for the food, delectable! We had the burrata appetizer - delicious. As for our main meals, we had the cod & the salmon. You can’t go wrong with fish at Makro. The sauces for each dish were in perfect harmony with the fish.
Atmosphere was great too. Music was pleasant & thankfully, not extremely loud. It was easy to entertain a conversation without running out of breath.
Excellent !!
Le surf & turf pour 4 personnes & les différents accompagnements (pdt aligot, choux de Bruxelles & champignons) étaient tous aussi succulents les uns que les autres.
Service impeccable.
On y retournera assurément pour s'offrir une belle soirée.

We thoroughly enjoyed our surf & turf & roasted beet side & baratta appetizer. The seafood & rib eye were cooked to perfection. The in-house steak sauce condiments were all delicious. The BBQ one reminded me of the Peter Luger steak sauce back in NYC. Coffee was delicious, as was the carrot cake. Service was also attentive & friendly. Unfortunately we will not return even though we live in Griffintown, as the music- which was extremely bass heavy & loud, was unbearable.
Dario was a fabulous bartender/waiter. He makes the best spicy margaritas in town. Service was great & good was outstanding. Thanks Dario for a great evening.
We had a terrible experience last Friday night at Makro (Friday August 14th 2020). One of the bus boys was not wearing his mask at all on his face, but rather on his chin. Given the current pandemic situation this was not appropriate. My younger cousin was incredibly uncomfortable with it but was trying her best to keep any comments to herself, despite the blatant breach of Quebec requirements. In an unbelievable turn of events, he came over to our table & instigated a confrontation, targeting her & asking "do you have a problem with me? Do you want to say something to me?" At this point we felt it appropriate to ask him to wear his mask, & his response was pretending not to understand us. He left the table without putting his mask on & was standing in the middle of the restaurant dancing by himself. We spoke to our waitress who was understanding & apologized & spoke to the bus boy. Once we were ready to leave, the bus boy came up to us & said "You have a problem with me, I am kicking you out" all while not wearing a mask. He then instigated the potential of a physical altercation with another member of our party.
This is completely unacceptable in any restaurant but, was truly unbelievable for one of this "alleged" calibre. It goes without saying our party of 6 will never even consider returning. They clearly do not take their patrons safety seriously & are more concerned with having their own party when they should be working & ensuring customer safety & experience.
Onto the food review: the lamb shanks were delicious, & the tuna rice cakes were excellent. However, the scallop dish was seasoned with taco seasoning, which completely overpowered the dish.
For anyone who is immuno-compromised or who associate with high risk people, please PLEASE do not go to this restaurant.
Nourriture bonne - voir très bonne - mais les prix sont vraiment trop élevés
(100$ pour une salade, un petit bol de yuca frits & un petit tartare avec deux cocktails)
Ensuite, relativement déçue de la salade « cresson/pieuvre » qui malgré sa saveur, manque considérablement de cette petite pieuvre qu'on cherche désespérément dans l'assiette & que l'on goutte à peine évidemment ...
