Les avis décrivent Mona Loa comme un speakeasy intime et vibrant, avec une décoration cavernicole unique et un personnel chaleureux et attentif. L'ambiance, le cadre et les cocktails artisanaux sont fréquemment salués, certains évoquant des boissons bien exécutées et des menus intéressants, mais des visites souffrent d'une musique trop forte, d'un service lent et de prix élevés ou de portions modestes. La qualité des plats est décrite comme bonne à excellente selon les cas, mais la constance peut varier et certains estiment que le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas toujours à la hauteur. Les réservations facilitent le placement et l'espace est perçu comme idéal pour les anniversaires, les rendez-vous ou les soirées entre amis, faisant de Mona Loa une adresse à essayer pour l'ambiance et les cocktails, même si l'expérience peut varier en période de forte affluence.
The maitre De was very good... Service was great. Drinks are very good. Edamame was very good along with the shrimp tempura for an appetizer. S scallops main course was okay, the salmon was great. Was looking forward to the coconut Sherbert dessert that they were out of it.

Mona Loa is easily one of Montreal's best newer bars & honestly, the definition of a vibe. From the moment you walk in, the ambience hits you-warm lighting, stylish décor, & a laid-back energy that still feels elevated. It's the kind of spot that feels intentionally designed but never pretentious.
The food & drinks are on point, too. Cocktails are crafted with real care, balanced & flavourful without trying too hard. The food menu surprised me in the best way-fresh, well-seasoned, & way better than what you'd expect from a typical bar. You can tell they actually put in the effort.
Whether you're pulling up for a casual night out or looking for a place that feels a bit more curated, Mona Loa delivers. Great vibe, great ambience, great food & drinks. Definitely worth adding to your Montreal rotation.
Le personnel n'est pas à blamer quant à cette note, ils semblent essayer de faire de leur mieux mais l'organisation & la lenteur du service sont décevants : la gestion laisse définitivement à désirer. Ils over-book clairement leur restaurant quitte à offrir une expérience vraiment boff juste pour faire plus de client. Nous faire attendre 15min dehors alors qu'on est arrivé à l'heure, déplacement de tables pendant le service, délais entre la réception des drinks/plats, en plus j'ai eu un malaise digestif après avoir manger leur tartare de saumon qui était vraiment trop room temperature, aucune fraicheur.. pourtant c'est du Ora king apparemment. C'est dommage car le décoration est sublime & l'ambiance est plutôt agréable malgré la musique un peu trop forte. C'est un restaurant ou un genre de supper club? Pas trop certaine mais je reviendrai pas & ne recommanderai pas.
First time we went had some hiccups. But spoke with the manager & he definitely addressed the situation & took action right away. Our next visit was great & you can tell they care about their clientele. Drinks are great here & decent food. Loved the violinist entertainment as well. The vibe is awesome so definitely will be back
Was walking by & decided to go in for a quick drink with a friend & ended up staying until closing. We became best friends with Megan the bartender, she is an angel. Such a beautiful place, highly recommend!
A really amazing experience for some birthday drinks & sushi. I would recommend this place simply for their adorable bird cocktail glasses but everything from the drinks to the food to Diana's excellent service was top tier.
Je suis allée il y une semaine & Charly ma serveuse ma trop bien servi!! La nourriture etait super bonne & le vibe est vraiment original! Parfaite place pour prendre un drink le personnel est vraiment top :)
You won't get a table!!!
We had reservations for 3 at 9pm on a Saturday. First they made us wait in a table outside. Then we waited at the bar for 1h when we eventually figured we were not going to get a table because of the lack of organisation. The vibe, music & food is okay here. The service I wouldn't say as much. The owner was kind enough to offer us something to drink. It was shots & we didn't feel like drinking shots so we asked for'cocktails' instead, which were the shots with pineapple juice. I found that to be very cheap considering the prices on the menu. Overall me & my friends were disappointed with our experience here.
This resto is a sham your instagram videos are nothing like what you serve , this is the worst place i ever ate in montreal ! I actually came home & cooked food !!! your salmon tartare is just salmon there is no other flavors we were charged for two tartares . There was only 3 little tostios chips
For the tartare .. i took your signature drink it was less than good Im sorry $250 for entrees & 2 drinks now i know why the place was empty
Ce resto est une arnaque ! Vos vidéos Instagram ne ressemblent en rien à ce que vous servez. C'est le pire restaurant où j'ai mangé à Montréal ! Je suis rentré chez moi & j'ai cuisiné ! Votre tartare de saumon est juste du saumon, il n'y a pas d'autres saveurs. On nous a facturé deux tartares. Il n'y avait que trois petites chips Tostios.
Pour le tartare… j'ai pris votre boisson signature, c'était vraiment pas bon. Désolé, 250 $ pour les entrées & deux boissons. Maintenant, je comprends pourquoi l'endroit était vide.
Pretentious attitudes, bordering on rude. Slow service. Took a while just to get a menu. Cocktails not that exciting. Was served drinks with no cocktail napkin, no water. The vibe of the space itself is cool, fun DJ, but it didn't make up for the bad energy from the staff who all seemed to not be getting along amongst themselves. If you've been there too long without spending they will ask you to pay your tab & leave. Seems to prioritize young women. Trying to be a night club but it's just a small bar with food. Could be better in so many ways. Skip.
