The vibe at Mona Loa was honestly super chill & fun. The place just felt good the second we walked in. The tambourine guy doing the live performance was amazing ,he had everyone smiling & added so much energy to the room. & the DJ? Perfect. He played music that fit the vibe all night without ever killing the mood. Overall, just a really good time with good people & good music.

Food was very mediocre & overpriced. Service was very slow, the vibe is okay, nothing special.

We came across this spot on Instagram & we reached out for a corporate team event. The organization was easy, the menu was adjustable & accommodating to dietary restrictions (eg - halal / vegetarian). Our team had a fantastic experience at Mona Loa! The food & drinks were excellent, the team was fantastic, & the ambiance was incredibly unique! We'll definitely remember this dinner! 😊

We went to celebrate my wife's birthday at Mona Loa in downtown Montreal as a couple & had an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly friendly & welcoming, & our waitress, Alexandra, was amazing-attentive, personable, & a big part of what made the evening so enjoyable. The cocktails were fun, creative, & delicious, while the food was excellent. But the decor & atmosphere really make this place special. You get the feeling you're dining inside a volcano-or stepping into the secret lair of a James Bond villain! 😎🔥 It's a unique experience that goes well beyond just a great meal. We'll definitely be back, this time with friends. Highly recommended! The menu prices are not cheap but we felt it was more than reasonable considering the quality .

Laatst hier met z'n 2'en gegeten. We hadden gehoord dat we naar een'speak easy' moesten, en dat dit een aanrader was. De cocktails (wat hier het main drinken is: er is maar 1 soort bier bijvoorbeeld, en er staan geen andere drankjes op de kaart dan cocktails) zijn minstens 10 dollar duurder dan andere plekken. Vervolgens smaken ze minder; niet vies, maar ook niet per se heel lekker. Dan het eten: wederom overpriced, met echt kleine porties. Niet veel smaak, maar wel duur. Na het etentje nog ergens anders lekker wat gegeten, deze keer voor een prikkie. Kortom: het is prima, maar veelste duur. Doen alsof ze chique zijn, maar is niet op kwaliteit.

The drinks were solid but the food meh

I don't do seafood or any variety of it - so I ordered fried tofu (tofu no hana) 🥴 I didn't know what to expect but it was NOT it & my stomach isn't feeling it either

I also ordered a vegetarian sushi roll - never came. They accidentally gave it to another table & then refused to make it for me again bc it was'too late' meanwhile it was 11:20 PM & last call for food was 11:30 sooo??

ALSO not my fault yall gave it to someone else & it took the bartender 25+ minutes to realize I never got it. 😒

The vibe? Great. The music? 10/10. The food? Eh.

Très cher. Nous étions souvent interpellés par la serveuse pour nous commandions. Mais lorsqu'il était le temps de payer, personne en vu. Les drinks étaient bon, mais cher. La nourriture hors de prix. Lors du paiement, le pourboire a été ajouté automatiquement à 20% (ce qui n'était pas mon option).
