One of Montreal's more reputable restaurants, & it's easy to see why. The ambiance is intimate, the staff is extremely attentive, & the overall experience feels polished from start to finish. Definitely French bistro vibes.

I had a great dinner, but for me the menu lacked a bit of adventure compared to some of Montreal's other elite restaurants. They also lean heavily into butter, which makes sense stylistically, but it's just not exactly my preference.

Absolutely worth a visit, but not necessarily a regular spot for me.

We were there last night, & I wish we were going back tonight!! The atmosphere was very cool, restaurant has its own unique vibe. Food was delicious, staff is super attentive & polite. Will be back very soon, so much more we need to try on the menu! oh & perfect extra dirty martinis :)

Great vibe, very decent food. Service was exceedingly slow. Very, very slow service, though the service in general was very polite & gave good insight on the menu. Meal easily took 30-45 minutes longer than it needed to just on service time, & I am not one to nitpick on this, it just killed the flow of an otherwise great dinner.

The food was great quality. Asparagus was great, along with all the pastas. The beef was tough, though it was well cooked with a great sauce. The pork was also very tasty.

I would go back, but only if the service issues are fixed.

My first time at Nora Gray by myself, because my foodie local friend said,'Try, you are in luck if you can get in.' I ordered tuna carpaccio & zucchini pasta. The pasta was impressive, from its aroma to texture & taste, especially its unique after taste sweetness was quite a delight! But the tuna… I had better. Sorry to say I was expecting the melt in your mouth texture with fresh balanced favour but the lemon juice somehow on that night was too overpowering so all was lost. The vibe was cosy, casual elegant. Servers were friendly & professional. Will try again.

I'm so surprised I've never written a review for this restaurant . In my TOP 5 in montreal for sure ! Most likely #1🤌🏽
Amazing restaurant, great service , amazing food! The vibe is unmatched. I have been coming here since opening . & I'm always so happy after eating here . Always a hit !
Best best spot for date night! Ask for a corner table . Actually it's a good spot for a group also. Just trust me & go eat here .
Ask for the specials . Ask the bartender ( lexi) to make you a western spaghetti. Go late a night & enjoy a nice cozy vibe .
10/10 🔥

this was a wonderful saturday night meal with the family. a super elegant spot with a calming & cozy aesthetic. from the wine to the pasta everything was divine. we got a half plate of each pasta, the beef tartare, shrimp, olives, focaccia & every dessert. highlights were the lemon butter pasta & the chocolate mousse. the wine was incredible too. great service, great vibes, amazing food. what a perfect for spot for a date night too. immaculate.

Service was super friendly & attentive, really described every dish well & helped with the wine pairing as well. music & decor were a vibe
The halibut melted in your mouth, the snow crab pasta special had a decent amount of snow crab, they had a really nice coffee Negroni, perfectly balanced. The olive oil ice cream worked well & is a must try along with the best amaretti cookies I've ever had (they had that soft chewy inside, hard crisp on the outside texture that I love about macarons). Affogato was typical but nice.
I wouldn't recommend the beef tartare type dish (overpowered by the fennel) or the cod stuffed pasta (small portion, nothing memorable).
