Montreal Plaza is widely celebrated for inventive tasting menus, creative pairings, and a playful, bold design that makes the dining experience memorable. Dishes are described as fresh and imaginative, with standout seafood preparations and striking presentations; service is frequently praised as attentive and friendly, though a few notes mention moments of snobbery, gaps between courses, or inattentive staff. The atmosphere is lively, quirky, and stylish, but can be quite loud, which may affect conversation. Some reviewers question the value for money, citing small portions or high prices relative to the portions and service, while others feel the quality justifies the price and celebrate occasions with a special night out. Overall, Montreal Plaza remains a popular destination for those seeking adventurous cuisine and a unique ambiance, especially for celebrations, though experiences vary in pace and perceived value.
Ça faisait tellement longtemps que je voulais essayer Mtl Plaza & sans surprise - mon copain & moi avons adoré!
Nous avons passé une soirée parfaite, comme on les aime. Les plats étaient délicieux, le service plus que parfait (merci Jade 🫶🏼) & les cocktails… wow. J'ai été particulièrement impressionnée par leur variété : on sort complètement des classiques & j'ai eu droit à un cocktail sur mesure qui s'accordait parfaitement avec mon repas.
& que dire de l'ambiance, énergique sans être trop bruyante & de la déco, absolument incroyable! On est même repartis avec deux toutous ahah!
C'est certain qu'on y retournera très prochainement 🦕🔥

Une des meilleures tables en ville ! J'en suis à ma 5e fois chez Montréal Plaza & l'excellence s'exprime autant par la cuisine mais encore plus par le service exceptionnel.
Je viens d'assister à l'événement de Charcuterie & c'était formidable la bouffe & le bon vin servi de façon incroyable …. Merci beaucoup Montréal Plaza
Food was good but not wow. Strawberries felt overpowering the foie gras. Almost impossible to apply the foie gras on the provided bread because the bread was too soft / foie gras was too solid.
Tartare was special with the mix of popcorn , for me it worked fine but nothing wow. The freshness of the tuna helped making the dish better.
Took the braised beef as finale. There was again some strawberries... would have traded those strawberries for some more veggies.
Service was good on the plating / cleaning. Very fast pace team when it comes to cleaning & replacing your ustensils.
A bit snobbed on the greeting & good bye side by the waiter. A big red flag when the waiter or waitress tells you : Oh , you guys didn't order a lot for two people, you have to order more. You can see it in their eyes & looks that the service reflects on the amount you order to eat & drink. I have worked in the restauration for many years so I know what's an excellent service . I have never questionned the quantity of the clients because its THEIR choice. If they are still hungry, they will either ask you the menu or eat elsewhere.
The credit card machine also had 18% , 20% , 25% tips choices on default which leads me to think the waiters doesnt work hard for their tips anymore.
Would have been a 4-5 without the wine pairing
We took a glass before taking the menu with wine pairing. On first service, the waiter brings us the exact same bottle for the pairing - which is already weird that no alternative was offered
Then the following wines were not presented (the waiter had no clue about them, telling stuff like'its a vinho verde but not an usual one') & they were very cheap on the amount served: barely two sips you could see the waiter was carefully measuring... I know wine pairing are not full glasses but I never saw something that cheap
For 75$+tx & tips for each wine pairing, I feel this kind of ruined the fsncy experience that they acted that cheap
Conclusion: get their menu & a glass or a bottle. NO tasting
The atmosphere is nice & some of the dishes are quite unique. However, I have been served undercooked/raw duck for the yakitori, making the experience less enjoyable. So be mindful if ordering this item. The IPA however is one of the best I have ever tasted.
We opted for the tasting menu, & it was outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive, & genuinely helpful throughout the entire meal. The restaurant's design is playful & quirky, perfectly matching the creativity of the food pairings. The only minor downside is that the space can get quite loud, but overall it was a fantastic dining experience.

We chose the tasting menu & it was excellent! The staff is very friendly & helpful. Also, the restaurant design is fun & quirky, just like the food pairings. One small note - the restaurant was quite loud.
We celebrated a memorable birthday here. The atmosphere was absolutely splendid! The service was very friendly.The corn mousse was delicious, & we really enjoyed the desserts.

Une expérience exceptionnelle du début à la fin !
Accueil chaleureux, service attentionné & professionnel - on sent un vrai désir de plaire, ce qui est rare aujourd'hui.
Les plats (tartare de thon, foie gras poêlé, BLT classique & mezzalune de courge) étaient absolument exquis, & le vin du Roussillon était un accord parfait.
Merci à Alexandre pour son service remarquable.
Le Montréal Plaza mérite largement ses cinq étoiles - ce sera désormais notre adresse pour les grandes occasions !
