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.
We visited Palma in the heart of Griffintown & had an amazing experience. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lively, & the music made it a great place to party & get your night going. We ordered the tomahawk omnivore platter & it was incredibly generous - more than enough food & perfect for sharing. The staff were personable, welcoming & very attentive throughout the night. The owner stopped by to check in & made sure everything was great, which was a really nice touch. A must-try spot in Montreal. I'd absolutely return for any occasion.
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.

Sabrina & Jacob were nothing short of excellent. Patient & attentive for our party of 8, & made sure we had a phenomenal time. Thank you, we'll be back!
I came for my friend's birthday party. Overall, my experience was okay.
The negatives :
- The music was waaaaaay too loud & it was really difficult to hear conversations with friends
- 20$-24$ for cocktails... Is a choice 🥲
- My server was really nice. HOWEVER, they explained that the reason my Udon Noodles Short Ribs took too long was because they put it as a'main dish', while the rest of my friends got their entree for the Table d'Hôte. Althought understandable, one of my friend who came after me got their meal before I did : it was the Udon Noodles Truffle Mushroom, which was basically the same food different font. It's kinda confusing why we didn't have it at the same time, mais bon.
The positives :
- My food was good, but the truffle noodles are better than the short ribs in my opinion
- I love the design of the restaurant
- Despite receiving my food late, the service was still great & my server was nice.
I'd say it's a restaurant you'd want to come for the ✨aesthetic✨, but I will come back for the Truffle noodles, they're 100% worth the try!
What a vibe! Great spot for delicious food & a fun yet sophisticated dinner. We hosted a dinner party there & the team took amazing care of us the whole night. You have to go!
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!

I organized my sisters bachelorette at Palma & it didn't disappoint! We had the best waitress Melina, she was soo great & helped make the party more fun! The food was so good & drinks were yummy!
Nous étions là pour notre party de Noël du bureau. La nourriture était très bonne (quoiqu'un peu trop salé). La présentation de la nourrture était super. Le service était #1, rien à dire. Seul ombre au tableau était la musique qui était vraiment trop forte pour le type d'événement que nous essayions de vivre. La musique était toutefois très bonne :)
To start, The entrance to the Palma is not inside the hotel. There are two entrances beside the hotel & it's on the second floor. I'll put pictures of the entrances. The vibe, it's a very classy vibe that makes you have spend on drinks & have a fun time. The atmosphere is pretty good & the color lighting make a nice ambiance with a touch of tropical shades. The food, it is exquisite & delicious, yes the prices are a bit high but it's good, like very good. The staff are friendly enough to party with them. Lastly, I prefer to uber to the location because nowadays Griffintown is now packed with restaurants but very few parking spots. There's a valet service on Wellington Street just in case but I like to warn you ahead. Had a great time overall. Do enjoy.
