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 🤍
The cocktails were really good - we had the Amaretto Sour & the Lychee Martini, & both were delicious. The appetizers were amazing, especially the lobster dumplings, which I highly recommend!
For the main course, we chose the beef. It was a bit too spicy for my taste & not served as hot as I would have liked. As a side, I had the organic grilled vegetables & absolutely loved them. My friend chose the potatoes, & they were very good as well.
For dessert, I had the cheesecake - it was good but a small portion.
If I come back, I would definitely go for the seafood without hesitation. In my opinion, that seems to be their specialty!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Palma in Griffintown, & I must say it was an exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was inviting & stylish. The staff provided top-notch service throughout the evening. Very attentive, knowledgeable, & made excellent recommendations. Now, let's talk about the food. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender & full of flavor. It was definitely the highlight of my meal. & let's not forget about the drinks! It was expertly crafted & perfectly balanced, just the way I like it. Overall, Palma exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The combination of amazing food, attentive service, & stylish ambiance made for a truly memorable dining experience. I highly recommend PALMA to anyone looking for a top-notch restaurant in Montreal. You won't be disappointed! Look at the design, how dope.
Excellent vibe, music & staff. Everyone is very nice & professional. A great place to start the night. Food is very good, only slight criticism is that portions are small, but most places do this nowadays. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of attending the "Lighter" event at Palma, & it was an experience I won't soon forget. Not only was I treated to an exquisite culinary journey, but I also had the opportunity to contribute to a cause close to my heart. Palma hosted the event with grace & style, aligning perfectly with the theme of supporting mental health awareness. Now, let's talk about the food & drink. Every dish was a masterpiece & bursting with flavor. The Spicy Virgin Margarita was a fiery mixture that was a perfect blend of zesty lime, & just the right amount of heat. The Grilled Shishito Peppers transported me back to Bali with their delightful sauce, while the Burrata Salad showcased the finest Italian cheese I've ever tasted outside of Italy itself. The Jardins de Fleurs was a delightful twist on spring rolls, with the addition of sweet Japanese tofu adding a perfect balance to the ensemble of flavors. The Double Truffle dish was an opulent masterpiece, showcasing the finest, freshly made tagliatelle enveloped in a luxurious truffle cream sauce. & dessert? Oh, where do I begin? The Smash Me dessert was a true party for the taste buds, & the Banana Mille Feuille was a delightful departure from tradition, combining banana, caramelized pecans, & velvety gelato. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff ensuring that every detail was perfect. The ambience was electric, filled with a mix of incredible people coming together for a great cause. & the music by local DJ YO-C set the perfect mood for the evening. Overall, my experience at Palma was nothing short of extraordinary. From the delicious food to the meaningful cause behind the event, it was a five-star experience through & through. I can't recommend Palma highly enough, & I'll certainly be back for more unforgettable evenings in the future. Bravo to the entire team for an exceptional evening!
Overall it was great & Naomi did excellent job on the service. The food was also extremely good. The restaurant is gorgeous. It is expensive but overall a very nice second experience. I highly recommend.
