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.

My husband & I dined at Montreal Plaza on Tuesday evening, & i were pleasantly surpised by how lively & busy it was for a weeknight. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, stylish, & inviting-modern with a quirky charm that instantly sets the tone for a fun, memorable evening. The service was top-notch from beginning to end. Every server we interacted with was friendly, knowledgeable, & genuinely attentive. It was so refreshing to see every staff member smiling & eager to help.
We shared several dishes & every single one was beautifully executed & plated like a work of art. The Fish tartare with squash was delicate & flavorful. The mackerel plancha was cooked perfectly. The standout for me was the Pacman scallop-a creative ceviche-style dish bursting with brightness from grapefruit & clementines. Absolutely divine!
The monkfish & octopus yakitori was another winner, served with a light salad that paired beautifully. I'm normally not a fan of foie gras, but their foie gras with truffle literally melted in my mouth-it was that good.
For our main, we shared the fluke with beurre blanc. I have a dairy sensitivity, & the chef prepared the dish completely dairy-free-& it was still rich, delicate, & full of flavor. The fact that one of the servers went through the entire menu & marked which items were dairy-free made me feel so taken care of. That kind of attention to detail really makes a difference.
Huge kudos to the chef & the entire kitchen team for executing a flawless meal. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, & the flavors were balanced & memorable. Dining here was such a pleasure from start to finish, & I'm already looking forward to going back.
Food is mediocre, insanely small portions that are supposed to be super fancy but aren't that good (we ordered a mollet for instance, & there was no marrow in it, just a bone). Service is inattentive & slow. Our server smelled like cigarettes, he was hard to find, forgot about things we had ordered, etc. For the prices they charged us, the service was unacceptable. It was all the small things - we asked for sparkling water, got flat water, then still got charged for sparkling. The waitstaff spent all their time rushing around changing out the numerous plates - so many plates for so little food! Oh yes, & a waiter tried to squeeze behind my chair & the post that was behind me & slammed me into the table - I was 7 months pregnant. We spent most of the night staring at empty plates waiting for a morsel to be delivered, looking around for the waiter. Not a classy or satisfying experience. We left having spent hundreds of dollars & still hungry, had to go to McDonalds for a late night burger. Waste of a birthday budget imho.
The dishes were all super creative & beautiful. The atmosphere was great!
But as a person whose not a big fan of seafood, & all the tasting menu was seafood, I was a bit disappointed.
Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre soirée au Montréal Plaza pour souligner un anniversaire. Tout était délicieux & notre serveuse était très gentille. Excellents cocktails. Beaucoup aimé les pétoncles pacman avec clémentine, tartare de truite avec courge & radicchio, le cardeau & brochettes de lotte & pieuvre. Cher mais vaut vraiment la peine.
J'ai souvent vu des articles passés en ventant ce restaurant en plus de l'avoir vu dans l'émission Somebody Feed Phil & je me demandais si l'ambiance était vraiment comme ce qu'on voyait dans l'émission sur Netflix. Je peux résumer ma visite en trois mots : quelle expérience formidable! Ma femme & moi avons adorés le menu dégustation, tous les plats étaient savoureux & bien présenter. Tout était excellent, allant des couverts jusqu'à la décoration & le service du personnel. On pouvait vraiment ressentir la personnalité du chef & du restaurant dans chacun des plats. Tout était raffinés & on pouvait bien goûter les saveurs en plus de la complexité des plats. Ils ont également une excellente carte des vins. Nous avons appréciés qu'un membre du personnel différent nous présentes chaque assiette qu'on recevait en plus de se soucier de notre satisfaction. Il y avait vraiment une belle ambiance en cuisine & cela se reflétait sur leurs plats. Je recommande fortement Montreal Plaza & à mes yeux c'est un restaurant incontournable en ville.

Ive been there 3 times now. Love love this restaurant!! Latest update December 2024: I was but disappointed with my overall experience. There wasn't any meal in particular that i was in awe with & that id eat again. For a dinner of 400$ ( tasting menu+ 2 cocktails+
Extremely underwhelmed with my experience at Montreal Plaza. Waited 2+ hours after sitting down to receive our main courses. They were also out of multiple items (tuna tartare, cornish hen, halibut) & they served us the bourguignon without the bone marrow. The food was decent, but nothing to write home about & not worth the money.
Quelle superbe première visite chez Montréal Plaza. Des plats minutieusement préparés, d'une créativité certaine & très savoureux. Service exceptionnel sur tous les plans de l'accueil jusqu'à « l'au revoir ». Ambiance unique, décors spéciaux, c'est beau partout où on jette notre regard.
It was kinda expensive, but worth every penny as each bite was scrumptious. My favorite was the Foie Gras + Melon-such a unique combination, & I've never tasted anything like it before. The ambience was amazing & unique, & the staff were friendly too!
