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 and vibrant Montreal dining scene in Griffintown with a lively vibe, strong drinks, great music, and stylish decor. The food is consistently praised for quality and variety, from sushi and seafood to steaks, and the service is described as attentive and friendly, with many guests noting memorable moments and reliable hospitality. While the atmosphere is often buzzy and social, some reviews mention loud music, crowded rooms, and higher prices, and a few dinners experienced delays or overbooking, so a reservation is recommended on busy nights. Overall Palma is seen as a must visit for a fun, elevated night out with friends or a date, delivering a memorable experience that keeps guests coming back.
I would recommend any person of colour other than white shouldn't go to this club . The staff is very racist . I went there with my friends for birthday ordered bottles , enjoyed the atmosphere end experience racist comments from security. Anyone who believe in diversity should not give them a chance anymore
Incredible experience. Some of the best food I've ever had, & the service was top notch as well. Would highly recommend as one of the best places to eat in all of Montreal
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 🤍
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.
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!
Une parfaite soirée d'anniversaire entre filles! Notre serveuse Loriane a rehausser notre expérience. Je vous recommande. À 23h ça change en club! Enjoy MTL

Our experience was underwhelming at best. I got the lobster but would not recommend it. It is a lobster tempura so it is deep fried, & it was basically a mouthful of grease with little to no taste, litterally feeling the oil drip in your mouth when you bite into it. Might as well drink oil at this point, I could not finish it.
While the presentation has a lot of panache, the taste & quantity were not there & I found the price ($69 plus tax) really steep for about 8 oily bites as nothing else is edible on the plate. You would need to order sides as the lobster does not come with anything else. I mentionned not liking the lobster to our waitress but that fell on deaf ears as she could not care less.
My friends got some of their signature rolls which were good enough, the portions at least are satisfying. The alcohol free cocktails are practically the price of a coktail dowtown Montreal ($18). Beware of the automatic 18% gratuity that our waitress told us to add to if we wanted.
This is our second time there & we won't be back.
The food was okay but very pricey. It was over an hour wait for our main dishes. When this issue was escalated to management, instead of compensation we were given shots that were never asked for. The interior was nice but the music was obnoxiously loud. Overall I do not recommend this place & would not go back here again.
