Food was truly delicious! Everything we had was way better than expected, very flavorful & intentional. Plate presentation was beautiful, felt very upscale. Wait staff was extremely attentive & friendly. Decor was beautiful, fresh & bright. Location was great, not inside the Royalmount mall, but adjacent & leading out to the parc/courtyard/esplanade area. Definitely not a'mall' vibe. It struck a perfect balance between casual comfort & understated elegance. It was a little loud, but Saturday afternoons through to evenings there is a live DJ event that happens in the courtyard so it is not the reataurant itself that was loud. Other nights & afternoons would be far quieter. We sat on the terrace & therr was a large screen broadcasting the FIFA wold cup games, so it could also be a chill spot to catch the game. But I repeat, the food, it was really exceptional. The entire menu seemed appetizing. I would highly recommend going & look forward to my next visit.
Très bon restaurant avec un excellent service. Merci à Valmont qui nous a bien accueilli. Je suggère qu'il y ait des tortillas ou plantain comme amuse bouche en attendant le repas. Belle ambiance, DJ sur place ( j'y étais un vendredi), on a même pu écouter un match de soccer. Génial! Je recommande!
Food was good. Music was very loud, as if we were in a bar with a dance floor. Service was terrible ; they constantly removed plates before we had finished eating (at least 4 times!). They advised us we had only 2 hours to eat , but they didn't offer to order a dessert before they kicked us out… I will not go back at this restaurant & I don't recommand it.
I have to say, this place is worth every penny you spend. The food is outstanding, the ambiance is beautiful, & the service is truly A1.
In my humble opinion, this is the best Mexican food in Montreal. Everything we tried was exceptional. The duck tacos, ribeye tacos, & ceviches were absolutely amazing.
Make sure to save room for dessert you'll be pleasantly surprised. Every dish was prepared with care & packed with flavor.
If you're looking for a great dining experience, I highly recommend Balam. Good food, great atmosphere, & memorable moments. Highly recommended!
J'étais à la terrasse du Balam aujourd'hui, c'était vraiment une excellente expérience , j'ai adoré l'ambiance & la vibe, le Taco Ribeye est monstrueux & aussi merci au manger pour sa recommandation de vin, le petit chablis était excellent 👌
Balam is one of my favorite spots in Montreal. The ambiance & overall vibe are incredible, creating the perfect atmosphere whether you're there for dinner, drinks, or a night out. The food is absolutely delicious & the attention to detail in both the service & experience really stands out. The live DJ & violin performances add a unique energy that makes every visit memorable. Highly recommend!
I enjoyed the restaurant very much, it has a good ambiance. The waitress was very friendly. The food was good, I really enjoyed the lamb. I recommend this place. I will go back, especially in the summer to sit on the terrace.
