Restaurant PALMA located in the heart of Griffintown, offers a unique experience that immerses all the senses through refined taste, bespoke mixology and unparalleled ambiance.
Palma offers a chic, high-energy dining and nightlife experience with a vibrant atmosphere, stylish décor, and a club-like vibe that many reviews describe as perfect for a night out. The food frequently earns praise for freshness and variety, with standout items including sushi, crispy tuna, rock shrimp, lobster dumplings, filet mignon, and a memorable tomahawk, plus a range of delicious starters and seafood options. Cocktails and wine get positive mentions as well, though some diners note that certain dishes or desserts don’t always match the price. Service is described as warm, attentive, and efficient by many, but experiences vary, with occasional long waits, overbooking, and billing hiccups noted in a few visits. Palma is seen as a great spot for celebrations and group dinners as well as romantic evenings, thanks to the combination of great food, responsive staff, and the atmosphere that shifts from dinner to nightclub as the night unfolds. Prices are generally high, and some guests feel value does not always align with cost, while others regard the overall experience as worth it, with reservations recommended to minimize crowding.
A beautiful gem in the heart of Griffintown.
Attention to detail is felt from the moment you arrive & in every bite. Staff were meticulous about my dietary needs. (Ps: If you seek a more laid-back intimate atmosphere for dinner, I'd highly recommend coming around 5/7pm)
The ambiance is great every time. A staple night out for locals & a must-try for people visiting Montreal! Thank you Palma 🤍
Our first time at Palma & it was an excellent experience. The service was outstanding. The pacing of the service was perfect & exactly what you'd expect from a fine establishment. The food & ambiance matched the exceptional service. We'll definitely be back.

Such a great spot! Always a good vibe, the crowd is a bit older which I actually love, & the décor is beautiful. Food is delicious! The staff is super friendly, always a fun night when we come here.
The most amazing restaurant! It was incredible. I'd go there twice a week if I lived there. You're missing out big time if you live nearby & never went. If you're traveling it's a must go.
Amazing atmosphere. Food is top notch especially the fresh sushi & all the dishes are great , a lot of variety . The chef showed me his aging process for steaks & it's second to none. This place turns into a vibrant party after 10:00. I come here every time am in Montreal. Try it & you will not be disappointed.
Went with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had a reservation so we were seated right away. I strongly recommend you have a reservation. The service was great 👍 our server was helpful & gave us good suggestions. Pomegranate Martini & Passion fruit Martini were amazing. The food was delicious 😋 the whole table shared starters that were all very good. I especially loved the rock shrimp & the sliders. My husband had the salmon & said it was the best he'd had in a restaurant. I had the lamb, 4 pieces, & it was perfectly cooked & delicious as well. A DJ was spinning great Music all night. There was a club vibe but the music was fun & brought a good vibe, not too loud that we could not talk, just right. I would recommend Palma & we will certainly be going back.
