Montreal Plaza est décrit dans les avis comme une expérience culinaire inventive et de haut niveau, avec un menu degustation apprécié pour sa créativité et ses associations audacieuses, des produits frais et locaux, dans un décor ludique et une ambiance dynamique qui donne une atmosphère festive. Le service est généralement chaleureux et attentif, mais certains commentaires évoquent un accueil parfois snob et des lenteurs, ainsi que des questions sur le rythme des services et le rapport qualité prix lorsque les portions paraissent petites par rapport au prix. L endroit peut etre bruyant et très animé, ce qui convient pour une soirée conviviale mais peut gêner les conversations. Plusieurs plats et desserts sont loués pour leur fraîcheur et leur présentation soignee, avec des plats comme tartare de thon, foie gras poele, pacman scallop et fruits de mer qui soulignent la créativité; certaines associations divisent toutefois. Globalement, Montreal Plaza est vu comme une adresse unique et excitante pour ceux qui veulent explorer de nouvelles saveurs et une expérience originale, tout en notant que l'intérêt peut varier selon les attentes en termes de budget et de calme.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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+

Incredible evening. Went for dinner & got the tasting menu. Loved our experience! The place is beautifully decorated, warm & inviting. The fun touches also make it so the place doesn't feel snobby even though it's exceptional in so many ways. The staff were all friendly, attentive & knowledgeable. We had: 1. The asparagus mousse - excellent 2. Mackerel & trout nigiri on a potato & tuna salad. - good 3. For the third course we each had something different because of a dietary restriction. I had the foie gras with strawberry & rubarb. My husband the smoked tomato soup with bluefin. - Both excellent 4. Walleye with guanciale. - delicious 5. Duck red wine sauce raclette-like cheese, mushroom, cranberries, white asparagus, Dijon mash, cabbage - honestly one of the weirdest mains I've ever had. The duck itself was excellent but the dish wasn't my favourite. I will absolutely go back. Really love this place
I always feel nervous going into a seasonal tasting menu, especially in a restaurant known to be creative/adventurous, but Montreal Plaza delivered from start to finish. From the quaint decor, the friendly & impeccable service, to of course the incredible food & wine, we were all so happy with our night. They were so kind to even humour me with a printout of the tasting menu for keepsake, which was typed & autographed on request. Looking forward to going back to a totally new menu. Highly highly recommend.

We did the tasting menu- & it was a special occasion. We felt really rushed/ they were dropping the food courses 2 at time. It was a tiny table- so this made it feel crowded- & really hurried. Also- by the time we finished one dish- the other they had brought with it was cold. The room is quite bright- & tables are really close together, & the music is pretty load- so not the most intimate or romantic vibe. Service was very attentive. The food is really interesting ( if not down right odd) & beautifully prepared. We arrived at 6:15- & we had been served 5 courses by 7:15. Tooooo rushed, it spoiled the overall experience.
We visited here on our Mini moon, can't put it all to words the amazing time we had here celebrating. We had the tasting menu & added yakitori. Everything is so well thought out from the food to the decorations & atmosphere. Each dish complemented the next & it was well worth every penny. Charles also was there & greeted us & said hello to our little guy, it's great to see him & his partner are still so very involved & there love for the place shows. A memorable dining experience id recommend to anyone.
This is one of my husbands favourite restaurants in Montreal. However, this time we both agreed that despite the ambiance being great, the food was just ok. Given the price point, that’s not good enough.
We ordered:
1)” tartare de thon + popcorn $27
This was not what our dish was. In reality it was tuna with strawberries & popcorn topping (not popcorn). Not exactly what we expected - but it was delicious. Perhaps they forgot to update the menu?
2)flétan plancha $22
The halibut was dry & disappointing.
3)petoncle poeles(seared scallops) $44
This was good. Though the scallops were over cooked & rubbery. The salad accompaniment was flavourful.
4) bourginom de legumes & moelle $49
This was a disappointment. It was a dry baguette in watery bourginon sauce (not thick like how a bourginon should be) & beets essentially. We found 3 tiny morsels of beef & not other vegetables. Not enough distinct flavours. & we weren’t sure what the huge baguette was there for.
5) A chocolate-based type dessert. I have no idea what this was supposed to be. It was bland & slightly bad / odd tasting.
