Montreal Plaza functions as a specialized market providing high-quality seafood and raw preparations to the local community. The establishment emphasizes the freshness of its fish through a focused menu centered on expertly seasoned tartare. Patrons engage with a selection of marine products sourced to maintain consistent standards of oceanic flavor and texture. The layout prioritizes product accessibility, allowing direct interaction with the available inventory of seasonal aquatic offerings. Every dish reflects a commitment to technical precision in the handling and preparation of raw proteins. This venue operates as a practical resource for those seeking reliable access to premium sea-based ingredients and refined cold preparations in a functional, minimalist environment.
Montreal Plaza is widely recognized as a top-tier destination in the city, celebrated for its creative, innovative tasting menus and fresh, high-quality ingredients that offer unique flavor combinations. While many diners praise the playful, quirky decor and the lively, festive atmosphere that makes it ideal for celebrations, others find the environment can become quite loud and difficult for quiet conversation. Service is frequently described as friendly, professional, and attentive, though some guests have noted inconsistencies in the pace of the meal, the generosity of wine pairings, or the overall value regarding portion sizes and pricing. Despite mixed opinions on specific dish pairings and the intensity of the festive noise, the restaurant remains a highly recommended, memorable experience for those seeking a bold and unconventional culinary adventure.
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.
Une expérience culinaire que je n'oublierais jamais. Le lieu idéal pour une dégustation gastronomique. J'ai tout adoré! Merci de m'avoir fait découvrir votre passion

La nourriture est de très bonne qualité & les saveurs sont tres originales mais les portions sont tout simplement ridicules.
Sortir d'un restaurant en ayant faim c'est ce que j'ai vécu ici avec une addition dépassant les 150$.
Le service était condescendant (la serveuse que nous avions avait l'air de nous prendre pour des abrutis tout en nous faisant les révérences.
Niveau ambiance… 4 ou 5 anniversaires avec musique & cotillons … pas très classe, ni agréable pour un menu gastronomique. Bref à l'image du service.
Donc je dirais bravo aux personnes en cuisine qui font un sacré travail dans l'assiette qui est en suite gâchée par le service, l'ambiance & le prix ;)
Service & atmosphere were perfect; we really loved the people who were kind, attentive, & professional. We were very disappointed by the food. I think the kitchen executed the dishes according to what they intended, but it was our least enjoyable meal this trip. Three of the dishes (tartare, foie gras, scallop) felt like they just sprinkled tiny amounts of a feature ingredient into a pile of acidic garnish. The scallop dish likely did not contain even a single entire scallop. The hen dish with morels MAY have contained a single morel. These dishes left us feeling like we were searching for ingredients in a pile of garnish. They may notice that plates tend to return with a whole bunch of garnish on them, & that would not be surprising. The ingredient pairings at times made no sense. Popcorn does NOT pair well with raw tuna. Sounds fun. Doesn't work. Strawberries & Foie Gras sounds fun. Doesn't work.
I'm happy when people take risks & do things differently, but the prices were wildly out of sync with what was delivered. This was one of six'fine dining' experiences we had this trip & was by far our least favorite.
Montréal Plaza is a wonderful place with delicious, creative food & a fun, lively atmosphere.The staff is friendly & the unique décor makes the dining experience special.
I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was prompt & professional, & the environment was clean & comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to others
This came highly recommended from work colleagues.
A bit overhyped in my opinion.
We got the tasting menu & added the Bourgot Miso.
Food had interesting flavor combinations & very experimental but not memorable & not something we would return for, except for the Bourgot Miso (but seriously only 2 pieces of bread???)
We had good service initially but there was a lull of about 30-40 minutes between services. Being first time clients here, our waitress didn't come back to the table even once to see how we were liking the food.
It was very loud & hard to talk, but very decorated, very homey & quirky. Couldn't hear my partner talk because of the music.
For the amount you pay here, there are better options out there.
