Review Summary

Mona Loa offers a unique and highly atmospheric experience, frequently described as an immersive, cave-like speakeasy that stands out for its chic decor and vibrant, club-like energy. Many guests praise the expertly crafted cocktails and flavorful, well-presented food, highlighting the sushi and appetizers as excellent choices for a night out. While the atmosphere, music, and attentive staff are often celebrated, some visitors report inconsistencies in service speed, small portion sizes relative to the higher price point, and occasional difficulties with reservation management or noise levels. Despite mixed opinions on value and dining logistics, the establishment remains a popular destination for dates, birthdays, and social gatherings, with many patrons eager to return for the lively vibes.

Very small speakeasy bar in the heart of Montreal. Cocktails were amazing (Mai Tai was the best!) & not too sweet. We had to order a second plate of the Red Tiger sushi because it was so good!

Absolutely amazing experience here! The vibes are insanely cool & the drinks are expertly crafted. Simon was an amazingly attentive bartender & so sweet! Gave me extra olives when I finished my dirty martini without me even asking! Would come here 10/10 times for a girls night or a date!

I have to shoutout Charly for being such a sweet server! We were a bachelorette group & we loved having her celebrate with us.

This place has ambience down to an art. The moment I walked in, it felt like I'd wandered into a stylish underground cave - cozy, moody, & totally different from the usual restaurant setup.

Food-wise, I went all in. The Mona Loa roll was bright & delicious, the Sake King tartare was melt?in?your?mouth good, & the garden rolls were crisp & refreshing. The tofu no hana surprised me with how delicate & flavorful it was. & the dorayaki at the end? Soft, sweet perfection.

A memorable experience from start to finish.
