Had a great time here! Food was good. Our server, Josh was the absolute best! Very attentive, made great recommendations & definitely made our night more enjoyable
Cute spot! On Thursdays they have a dj & $1 oysters with champagne, which I highly recommended! The ambiance is really nice & enjoyable. The oysters were amazing. We also got the sharing board which came with 5 appetizers (shrimp, paneer, chicken, lamb chop, lamb balls) & a side of naan. If you want to try a few things this board is perfect for 2 people to share & honestly with that & the oysters I was full!
The shrimp were so good! Honestly I don't think I've ever had such tender shrimp. I love the green mint sauce served under the platter. I also tried paneer naan for the first time & it was very good, but I think I prefer the garlic naan. I did not try any cocktails, but they had some very interesting looking options, also $10 classic cocktails & select wines for the 5 a 7.
Service was good, the only thing is we were first sat with no menus for about 5 minutes, which I would prefer to be sat right away with the menus, but otherwise they were attentive to fill water glasses (it wasn't very busy). I couldn't tell if who sat us was going to be our waiter or just the host, there seemed to be a lot of staff seemingly doing everything, so it was a bit confusing who to order from at first.
Ambiance was great, really nice to have a dj but it wasn't too loud, so it was still possible to have a conversation inside without screaming (rare in Montreal).
I would definitely come back.
We visited the restaurent with two other friends the other day to celebrate a friend birthday. We were interested to try an Indian resto & this one had an interesting menu with a modern decor, although we were not sure about the Indian french fusion concept. We ordered 3 plates as appetizers (paneer, octupus, fried vegetable) & 3 for main course ( biryani chicken & lamb, & duck) & every plate was delicious. So the duck breast was cooked like a Magret but with Indian spices. The biryani cooked inside a bread was so amazing, so was the paneer. Plus the staff was very attentive (maybe too attentive sometimes 😁) & added candle to our birthday boy dessert, with free liquor drinks, a very nice touch. We will certainly be going back. The Terasse also looks very cool, it was march so closed in the winter.

The food is excellent. & I mean wow. I came back to try the other dishes, & I'll be sure to come back for the rest!
Excellent champagne prices, you love to see it.
The service team makes this place stellar, like Michelin stellar. I've been to a few fine dining & their crew is on par, very attentive, kind, & fast. Gonzalo is the man, thanks again!
The food was flawlessly cooked, beautifully presented, & the spice level & portion sizes were perfectly reasonable. The combination of flavours was truly original, & we all appreciated such inventive pairings. The only place where it didn't quite work was in the lemon pie dessert. The lemon filling was wonderfully - & so rarely in this country - tart, which I absolutely loved. However, try as three of us might, the turmeric & toasted cumin meringue just didn't appeal to us. But to each his/her own.
Service was friendly & attentive in a warm decor.
We had this dining experience at Heritaj. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the service was attentive without being rushed.
Every dish was beautifully presented & bursting with authentic flavors - you can really taste the quality & care in the cooking.
My hubby had a butter chicken, of course not the flavour he expected as in an Indian restaurant 😂
I ordered a fillet mignon since the duck was not available ( the duck was busy in Disney Land lol)
Filet mignon medium rare was cooked to the perfect level. However no seasoning at all. But there is a flavourful peppercorn sauce on the side.
We are there celebrate our wedding anniversary. I thought there will be something a bit special. But not really. No surprise dessert nor special decor.
If you want to have this indo French experience, it is a nice restaurant to try :)
We recently had a corporate dinner at Heritaj, & it was a great experience. The ambiance was perfect for a team gathering-very polished. The service was attentive & friendly, & the food was excellent across the board. Everyone enjoyed their meals, & the overall experience contributed to a memorable evening. Highly recommend for group events or team dinners!
