PALMA synthétise les techniques culinaires asiatiques traditionnelles avec des sensibilités de fusion contemporaines pour élaborer un profil gastronomique distinctif. La cuisine privilégie des méthodes de préparation précises pour une sélection étendue de sushis, garantissant que la texture et l'intégrité des ingrédients demeurent primordiales. Les clients découvrent une approche méthodique de l'approvisionnement en produits de la mer, mettant l'accent sur la clarté des saveurs et la présentation esthétique. Le menu équilibre des combinaisons audacieuses et innovantes avec des bases japonaises fondamentales pour maintenir une narration cohérente à travers chaque assiette. Des éléments architecturaux modernes définissent l'environnement physique, créant une toile de fond épurée qui concentre l'attention exclusivement sur la production culinaire. Cet établissement fonctionne comme une intersection délibérée entre l'artisanat classique et l'adaptation moderne, livrant constamment des interprétations de haute qualité d'influences asiatiques diverses.
Palma est largement reconnu comme une destination dynamique à Montréal, célébrée pour son décor élégant, son atmosphère énergique et sa musique entraînante qui se transforme en une expérience de vie nocturne. De nombreux convives louent la grande qualité et la fraîcheur de la cuisine, notamment les sushis, les steaks et les cocktails, soulignant souvent que l'endroit est idéal pour les célébrations et les événements de groupe. Bien qu'un nombre important d'avis salue le service professionnel, amical et attentionné du personnel, les expériences peuvent être inconstantes, certains clients signalant des délais d'attente, des interactions peu professionnelles ou des frustrations concernant les pourboires automatiques et la transparence des prix. Dans l'ensemble, le restaurant demeure une adresse prisée pour ceux qui recherchent un environnement chic, bien que certains visiteurs suggèrent que la qualité du service et le rapport qualité-prix peuvent varier selon la visite.
Even though the Habs lost the game, the food, the cocktails & the ambiance was first class. Alisha served us & was just so very engaging, welcoming & friendly. Everything one can appreciate from a server. We will definitely come back & enjoy all that Palma has to offer!!
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!
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 hostess was so sweet!! Our waiter was amazing, helped us with all of our choices which were spot on. Food & especially the cocktails were amazing!!!
went last week with a couple of my buddies from out of town. Food was great ,cocktails were amazing! & our waiter Daniel was excellent ! such great attention to detail , took care of us the whole night :)
Came by on a Sunday night. Great ambiance, service was excellent. From start to finish. Everyone was very friendly & professional. Lorianne was a great bartender as well as Alisha; great cocktails, they took good care of me as well as Troy at the entrance. I'll be back for sure, might have to become a Sunday tradition.
We had a fantastic evening at Palma in Montréal. The space is beautiful, chic, vibrant, & perfect for a night out. Every dish we tried was delicious, from the fresh sashimi & burrata to the perfectly cooked steak. The cocktails? Top-notch. Creative, balanced, & definitely part of the experience.
It's definitely on the pricier side, but the quality of food, presentation, & atmosphere make it worth it. Great service too. Perfect for a date night or a celebration with friends
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!
