Marcus Restaurant + Lounge is a chic, upscale destination in the city center, praised for a refined atmosphere and an impressive wine and cocktails program that many consider a Montreal standout. Dining experiences span from standout seafood towers and refined tasting menus to desserts that guests remember, with dishes like lobster pasta and truffle pasta earning high marks for flavor and presentation, while some meals are criticized for small portions, high prices, or imbalances in seasoning. Service is frequently lauded as professional, attentive and warm, yet several reviews note slow, inconsistent or disorganized moments and seating delays during busy times. The lounge area attracts a lively crowd and reservations are often recommended, though music can be loud and conversation sometimes tricky.

We stayed at the hotel & they recommended the restaurant & honestly the food was nothing special
I ordered the wagyu burger medium with salad & I got a well done with fries
I don't even finish it
But the place is very nice the coffee was good

We had the best celebration dinner. The seafood tower was extra delicious & fresh, the wine suggestion was excellent & the dinner was fantastic.
Marcus restaurant thank you for making our dinner a memorable & taking care of us. We will be back!
We went for a Saturday brunch for my friends birthday. It was most of our first times going to Marcus. It was an impeccable experience, the staff was lovely, every bite of food was scrumptious, the hazelnut iced coffees were to die for. Really exceeded my expectations. The waiters were so kind, we waited a few minutes longer than we'd normally for our mimosa bottle & they upgraded the prosecco to champagne on their own as a gesture of good will. Really fantastic place, love the smell, the ambiance, the aesthetic. Can't wait to be back!
Quelle déception . Ça commence avec les mocktails. Je n'avais pas une envie d'alcool, je demande les mocktails. 2 choix au menu & d'une banalité simpliste. J'y vais pour les huîtres en entrée. Bof! Rien d'extraordinaire. Je poursuis avec le poisson, la morue sur une purée de pomme de terre trop crémeuse avec des rapinis avec un goût de sauce épicée , mais sans raffinements. 3 étoiles, j'ai été généreuse!
Marcus Montréal truly delivers a high-end, chic experience. The atmosphere is sophisticated, the food exceptional, & every dish is beautifully presented & full of flavour. The cocktails are top-notch, perfectly crafted & balanced.
The service is outstanding, the staff & waitresses are welcoming, attentive, & professional, making you feel genuinely cared for. Their valet service is quick & efficient, adding to the overall seamless experience.
Yesss! It's a fancy restaurant & you pay a premium, but every detail, from the presentation to the service, makes it absolutely worth it.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for an elegant & memorable dining experience in Montréal.

Je veux remercier Mme Melissa Nudo pour son excellent service à la clientèle & pour avoir tout organisé afin que qu'on passe une excellente soirée au Marcus. Je tiens aussi à remercier le chef Daniel pour ses excellents plats & son service attentionné.
Really great time, very beautiful setting & fairly attentive & fast service. The food was delicious... Especially the dessert menu where you get to see all the desserts in real life instead of a paper menu... Pretty cool!
Underground parking entrance was impossible to spot with all the city construction... Ended up parking in the parking garage down the street
There was a bit unclarity if taxes were being added on the tip & the hostess didn't really clarify... It was a few dollars so we let it go but it would be nice if the bill was clearer.
Honnêtement surcote, les prix sont beaucoup trop élevés pour une cuisine qui n'est pas du tout à la hauteur.
Concernant le service, la serveuse m'a agacée toute la soirée elle a été très hautaine & dépourvu de professionnalisme je ne reviendrai pas

It was almost $90 for one dish (chicken & waffle) & a drink…. The waffles were also so dry!
Music with DJ was too loud, too… I dont think I'd return, sorry! Disappointing as I'd heard good things.
Great experience here at Marcus we had a group of 9 & got a nice more private area seating spot. We ordered everything family style & shared everything we had ordered.
We had someone who was vegetarian & the resturant accommodated by making a truffle pasta which was not on the menu specifically for him! A few of the notable mentions are the bluefin tuna tartare, the wagyu beef (this is market price so be aware of the weight), & the portobello mushroom (incredible!)
We got each of the desserts that were available & my favourite was the round dark chocolate tart (unfortunately I don't remember the name of this but it was delicious if you like chocolatey things!
You might think, if the food, the service & the atmosphere are all 5 stars, why is the overall score 4 stars? The food tastes amazing but the prices are a bit up there for a small quantity. Good to keep lean, but not the best if you want a filing lunch/dinner. The atmosphere is very business-professional oriented. Overall, good but costly/fancy restaurant!
Great service as per usual, the restaurant was fully booked but Richard & the hostesses managed to secure us a table. Catherine & Aaron took good care of us in the lounge while we waited for our table.
