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.
Meilleur restaurant en ville à mon humble avis. tout est exquis. J'y suis allé 4x depuis l'ouverture & c'est toujours un excellent service, la nourriture est une explosion de saveurs... Je ne comprends pas que le restaurant n'ait pas reçu d'étoile Michelin!

We enjoyed an exceptional meal here, opting for the fixed-price sharing menu. Wonderfully fresh ingredients, beautifully prepared. The dishes were creative & innovative without feeling gratuitously trendy. A special mention for the halibut tempura, which was simply delectable & served with a beautiful assortment of crisp, fresh vegetables with a delicious vinaigrette. Service was friendly & attentive without'hovering.' (One of us asked that shellfish be excluded from their meal & the staff were very accommodating.) The atmosphere is very buzzy & quite loud -- not annoyingly so, but not ideal if you're looking for quiet conversation.
An absolute highlight of our visit to Montreal - not to be missed.
If you're traveling to Montréal this may feel like it's off the beaten path…it's not!
Food quality & service were both incredibly good. Team is warm, funny, informal & very professional at the same time.
The quality & creativity of the food is just simply awesome!
5 stars!!
Bravo!!! Fantastic tasting menu & amazing hospitality.
Myself & 2 friends chose Montreal Plaza as one of restaurant chosen.
Overall a fun atmosphere & I loved the quirkiness & most of all watching people around us .... enjoying themselves.
Merveilleuse expérience au Montréal Plaza. La nourriture est savoureuse, les plats assez funky, ils travaillent les légumes & les poissons avec soin, sans trop les dénaturer mais en osant des combinaisons audacieuses. La fraîcheur & la qualité étaient au top. Dans un décor chic, abstrait & loufoque qui amène nos yeux à regarder un peu partout. Ça été une soirée assez occupée, donc le service était correct & courtois. C'est un endroit assez bruyant & festif, parfait pour célébrer 🍾
Parmi nos bonnes expériences culinaires, on y reviendra assurément!
Tout était parfait, la nourriture raffinée, le service… & particulièrement l'attention qu'ils ont porté aux allergies alimentaires. Je recommande 1000 fois!
My wife & I are dedicated foodies. We eat well wherever we go. Montreal Plaza was up to the challenge of satisfying our desire for discovery & excellence.
Every dish was fresh & imaginative. The service was excellent & the ambiance was light & fun.
We highly recommend you visit this classic gem on St-Hubert. There is a red neon chicken on the door but not on the menu.
Spent a few days in Montreal & this was the best restaurant during our stay. We ordered the beef dish which was tender & flavourful. My partner's favourite was the bourguignon which was also delicious. The environment was also very cozy & welcoming. We stayed downtown but
glad we made the trip up to this restaurant.
Seafood was fresh & tasty. However, for the price (paid over 300$ for food & drinks), I would of expected better service & attention to detail. There was a few faux pas, my Martini was served with an even number of olives, we had hair in one of our dishes, bathrooms wernt very clean & half way through the meal our waiter seemed very unintrested in giving us service or being pleasent. More specifically, he walked away from us twice while we were mid sentence trying to order. Also, after paying our bill he walked away without saying anything, I had to scream at him'have a good night' while he was already half way through the restaurant, no thank you, no nothing. Do not think I will return.
