Les avis décrivent Nora Gray comme une adresse italienne chaleureuse et intime, avec une carte concise mais raffinée, des pâtes remarquables et une belle sélection de vins; l’expérience au bar est souvent mise en avant et le service est généralement loué pour son attention et son professionnalisme, ce qui donne une ambiance accueillante. Certaines visites soulignent que les portions peuvent sembler petites et les prix élevés, que la pièce peut être froide ou bruyante, et que la constance peut varier selon les plats, mais lorsque la cuisine est en forme, les plats sont créatifs et bien exécutés et l’expérience globale reste très appréciée pour les dîners en amoureux et les soirées douillettes.
My friend & I ate here recently & LOVED it! It was so lively & cozy. The quintessential neighborhood restaurant. We had a fantastic corner table at the window. Rocco, our server, sat down at our table with us to go over the entire menu. He was so nice, fun, & good at his job. He truly made the experience even better. The food was incredible. We loved every course. I'd make a beeline there again when I'm back in Montreal.

We managed to get a table for 4 people last minute (1 hour before reservation time on a Tuesday).
Let start by saying that the female server we had was absolutely adorable & super knowledgeable about the menu. That's about the only upside.
We arrived 5 minutes in advance & the table wasn't ready until 30 minutes past our reservation time which was kind of annoying. We just stood there waiting for the table before us to leave.
The food is way too over priced for what it is. Basically the main course is simply not filling & not worth the price. Chickpeas, plain pasta & olive oil for $38 + tax is unreasonable. It's not even a big enough portion for a main course.
Atmosphere was SO noisy.
I would honestly not recommend coming l here which is disappointing because we live just around the corner & we were looking forward to trying this place for a long time.
Great food, but it was so cold in the restaurant! So cold that they offer blankets to customers when asked. But they don't really address why it's so cold. It really dulled the experience, & I was excited to eat there.
The food was honestly not good. The spaghetti alla bottarga got no unami flavor, we couldn't taste any fish toe but just strong acidity from the lemon, which was way too overpowering.
Beef cut was too chewy, pork was better but not standing out.
The appetizer of carppacio is very normal, mushroom underneath but not very well integrated in flavor. Sea bream cheek was meh-ok, standard olive oil with some balsamic.
The tuna sauce of potato is too bad, the fishy-ness all came out.
Dessert - the citrus mascarpone one has good composition, salt & olive oil on top are nice. But the signature tarte noire is just a dense chocolate cake, all of us have tasted some bitterness.
Only dish worth eating is the tagliatelle alla bolognese. Good in texture, taste & classic.
Service was bad, the waiter was not very patient. Gave our table the wrong order two times, once from the other table, then taking away & didn't apologize. Then second forgot about the sauce on side note. I still tipped reasonably but now I kind of regret it for the below average food experience & service.
Not my first time at Nora Gray.. it just seems to get better every time I step inside . Tonight is beyond exceptional!! We decided to eat at the bar instead of our table reservation, it was one of the most memorable experience at Nora Gray!!! The staff is friendly courteous tonight I want to mention Ben working the Bar area, he is one dedicated staff member who is concerned with you having an amazing experience.. the food was impeccable & the wine pairing was spot on .. thank you to Ben & everyone at Nora gray for a memorable evening

We had an amazing experience at Nora Gray. We ate at the bar. The food was so delicious, interesting & so well executed. Ben who was at the bar looked after us. He was amazing. He had great suggestions for food wine & digestifs. Truly a great evening. Thanks Nora Gray & Ben, we'll be back.
Un restaurant sans prétention, conscient de sa valeur. À l'image de l'Italie, il n'a pas besoin de se vendre il sait parfaitement ce qu'il vaut.
On met en avant la qualité des produits & la gourmandise & au rendez-vous.
Après une première visite très satisfaisante, nous avons réserver pour le souper du 31 décembre, mais malheureusement ce fut une terrible expérience.
Après un bel accueil, nous avons appris qu'il y aurait un menu prédéterminé avec choix, sans savoir le prix du menu final. Ce ne fut pas une surprise, car il s'agit d'une soirée spéciale. Mais les plats ne furent aucunement à la hauteur de notre première visite. Tout était pratiquement fade & très amateur. Seul note positive pour les pâtes aux oursins & au contrefilet.
Le pétoncle, le carpaccio de boeuf manquaient terriblement d'amour, ainsi que les tortellini. Je ne sais pas si les chefs habituels étaient absents, mais ce fut une soirée dispendieuse (300$ sans alcool pour deux personne avant taxes & pourboire) pour une cuisine très décevante. Je laisse les gens intéressé à se faire leur propre idée du restaurant en y allant & en espérant que ce commentaire soit constructif pour le restaurant.
Maybe I had too high hopes for Nora Gray, because last night's birthday dinner with my wife was a bit of a letdown, & I'm blaming the wine. We ordered the'Teresa Cascina Tavijn' red Italian wine, which was far too acidy & lacked a complexity of flavour. Choosing the right wine is so important. It can make or break & evening at an upscale restaurant like Nora Gray. Our waitress was amazing & gave us an in depth explanation of the food & wine, so it's nobody's fault but our own for choosing one that wasn't to our tastes. Nora Gray's service & atmosphere is truly top notch, in this warm & cosy nook of a restaurant. One of the highlights of the evening was the'Flétan de la Gaspésie, salsa d'oignons brûlés, petit lait, Ciabot del Moreto'20', which was a powerhouse of flavour & left us both raving. The'Viola Olive Oil' from Cucina Imports that we asked to be poured on a small dish was one of the best olive oils I've ever tasted, & well worth the $4 fee. It was perfect for wiping up with the'Focaccia Maison'. Unfortunately, one of the low points of the night was the'Battuta de boeuf, puntarelle, anchois, ail' which was far too chewy for a tartare. Tartare is supposed to be so tender that it melts in your mouth, but this was so gummy that I had to give up on champing & hide bits of half eaten beef in my napkin. Another dish that was less than memorable was the'Farro de Pacina, jus de volaille, poivre'. So, at one point our night out wasn't looking great, but thankfully it was saved by a mind blowingly spectacular dessert called the'Mousse chocolat & ricotta, crème à l'huile d'olive, noisettes'. It was a prefect blend of sweet, salt & more scrumptious olive oil. In the end, I would recommend giving Nora Gray a try & hopefully you'll have better luck with the wine. I heard that they have an outdoor patio in the summer time, which sounds like fun.
Super expérience à ce restaurant, notre serveuse était parfaite, elle nous a bien suggéré & accompagner tout au long de notre souper. J'ai rarement été aussi satisfaite d'une sortie au restaurant. La nourriture & les drink valent certainement le détou
