I'm still buzzing from the most incredible dining experience at Mare! This restaurant absolutely blew my mind - every bite was a celebration of extraordinary Italian cuisine. We went for the chef's choice tasting menu & it was pure magic: bold flavors, stunning presentations, & dishes so delicious they left us speechless. Honestly, everything we tried was outstanding, but four plates stood out as my absolute favorites (check the attached photos - those are the ones that stole the show!).
Beyond the food, the atmosphere is elegant, luxurious, & wonderfully peaceful-perfect for enjoying every course without feeling rushed. The interior design is stunning, & the service deserves special recognition. Every member of the team was genuinely attentive, knowledgeable, & made us feel truly welcomed throughout the evening.
We originally had an event planned at another spot, but somehow ended up here by mistake… & honestly, it felt like pure destiny!
Top tier service & first class traditional Italian food. Pasta is homemade & you can taste was made with love. Ambience & service can't get better than Mare!
What an amazing night out! The food & cocktails were outstanding! I loved my caffe Milano cocktail so much! All my friends loved their cocktails too! The young Italian waiter his name was Bruno I think was just amazing! Really great service. The tonno crudo to die for! Highly recommend

We visited this beautiful restaurant in Old Port, Montreal on Saturday, March 28. We were welcomed by a kind & friendly young Italian who served us excellent cocktails. The food & service were both of a very high standard.
The only downside was the vibe, which felt a bit dull - the music lacked a clear identity, shifting from 70s Italian tracks to rather unengaging songs.
I hope to return & find a different atmosphere next time.
I had the most incredible dining experience for Valentine's Day at Mare in Old Port. From the moment we stepped in, the coastal Italian charm was undeniable. They began by serving us bread-focaccia & sourdough-accompanied by a mascarpone & cod spread, which was exquisite. We also had two amazing mocktails-proof that even their non-alcoholic options are outstanding. We started with oysters-plump, meaty, bursting with fresh flavor, straight from PEI. For the appetizers, I had a vibrant beef tartare with an amazing chew, while my girlfriend savored the octopus, paired with crispy potato & escarole-every bite was fresh & balanced. For the mains, we shared two pasta delights: I had the cappelletti, filled with braised beef slow-cooked for hours, bathed in a rich sugo d'arrosto, & my girlfriend had the tagliolini, a silky pasta with Parmigiano, cultured butter, & caviar-pure bliss. We finished with a tiramisu that was divine & another dessert, the cioccolata pralinata-light, elevated, with a perfect crunch & subtle sweetness, the ideal end to a grand meal. & to top it off, I had an excellent double espresso. I must say, as good as the food was, the service was flawless-every staff member was so attentive, warm, & made us feel truly special. Mare is a must-visit-go treat yourself!
We came back after a few months & the service was noticeably better. The two Italian guys who welcomed us were professional & very attentive.
The food was great, but the real highlight was the cocktail list, truly exceptional drinks!
At the end of the dinner, Bruno prepared a tableside Sgroppino for us, which was a wonderful touch. Special thanks to him.
Highly recommended.
The music selection was amazing, such a great vibe!
The service truly stood out above everything else. Every detail was given such care, & the entire team was exceptionally professional. The food was also outstanding, & our waiter guided us beautifully throughout the evening. The restaurant itself is stunning - it perfectly blends a trendy, modern look with Old Port charm & subtle Italian touches. Overall, it was an excellent experience, so much so that we immediately booked to return the following weekend with friends.
We went there for dinner & we were unfortunately disappointed by the food. The stuffed zucchini flower had a gelatine consistency almost like a jello shrimp flavour which we really didn't like. The plate of seafood to share was just okay, the presentation was disappointing for a plate at 120$, I expected more garnish with herbs, lemon, etc. The lobster bisque pasta was not bad but it was not great, I expected the pasta to be al dente for an Italian restaurant. As for the dessert, we usually are big on that & they only had 4 choices that looked sad so we ended up not taking anything. We will unfortunately not come back
