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.
Nous avons choisi le menu à 145 $ par personne. Le repas était bon, mais le rapport qualité-prix nous a semblé excessif. L'ambiance était agréable, bien que légèrement bruyante.
En revanche, grosse déception concernant le dessert intitulé « assortiment de mignardise » : cette appellation laisse naturellement entendre qu'il y aura plusieurs pièces. Or, comme le montre la photo, il s'agissait uniquement d'une petite tartelette. Nous avons trouvé cela très décevant, voire irrespectueux au regard du prix du menu.
Palma is a cute & visually appealing place, but it's very noisy. The menu is limited, only the sushi were good. However, it's really overpriced for what you get.

This restaurant provided the worst service I've ever experienced. It's essentially a club with a restaurant attached. I went there for a friend's birthday & arrived at 9:30 p.m. Our food didn't arrive until 11:30 p.m., which was incredibly disappointing. To top it off, they add a 20% tip to your bill after that terrible service.
Horribly loud, disrespectful night club to have to put up with in the neighborhood. Ladies, stop screaming in the street when you leave, we are trying to sleep.
C'est la deuxième fois que je mange au Palma à Montréal & que je fais une intoxication alimentaire sévère dans la nuit qui suit. Douleurs abdominales intenses, malaise général je suis encore très mal au moment d'écrire cet avis.
Une fois, ça peut arriver. Deux fois, ce n'est plus un hasard. Il y a clairement un problème de fraîcheur ou de manipulation des aliments.
C'est vraiment dommage parce que l'endroit est apprécié, mais la qualité sanitaire doit être une priorité absolue. Pour ma part, je n'y retournerai pas & je conseille au restaurant de revoir sérieusement ses standards d'hygiène & de conservation.
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.

A perfect dinner! The food was amazing & the hospitality that Thomas provides is unparalleled. Emily in Palma ( looks a bit like Emily in Paris) offered us a spectacular service & was very friendly & even funny. Also, the service was very quick, which is rare to find in restaurants these days. Rafi, one of the owners, went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. My wife was very satisfied & if you want a happy wife for a happy life, take her to Palma lol.
Un grand merci à Harold pour son accueil & son professionnalisme. Toujours souriant, attentif aux clients & présent pour s'assurer que tout se passe bien. On sent une vraie passion pour son restaurant. Une excellente expérience, je recommande vivement
The atmosphere is crazy amazing. We were only 2, but I almost wish we came here with more people because it's so suitable for big groups.
The restaurant is SO gorgeous, the bathroom as well.
The food was very good! We enjoyed everything got, especially the truffle & Parmesan fries. The sticky ribs were a huge portion.
The service was good. Our waiter Harold was super sweet!
Finding parking wasn't difficult, you just need to a pass by Palma on Peel, then turn right & just follow the parking signs. Once you're in the parking garage, Palma is on the second floor! Very easy in my opinion. Parking is $20 though.
Will totally come back with more people & would like to try other things from the menu!

Great vibe with the dj & good service but make sure you eat before or you will starve literally. Wouldn't ever go back for the food even if it was free.
Loved our experience at Palma. Host Raphael's energy & friendly attitude set the tone right away, & the waiters were incredibly welcoming & attentive. They even took our coats, which added a really classy touch.
We loved the table d'hôte menu-excellent value & beautifully executed. The ambiance is elegant & refined without feeling stuffy. We went on a Sunday & it was absolutely perfect for a romantic date night.
Amy was our barmaid, she gave us amazing service at the bar; was so friendly & very helpful with the menu, we had a great time! We will definitely be back again!
