Restaurant Héritaj offers a unique dining experience characterized by its creative French-Indian fusion cuisine and a stunning, sophisticated atmosphere. Guests frequently praise the beautifully presented dishes, noting highlights like the foie gras, duck, butter chicken, and fresh oysters. While opinions on service and spice balance occasionally vary, many visitors find the staff to be attentive and welcoming, making it an excellent destination for special occasions, celebratory gatherings, or a relaxing meal on their highly regarded terrace. The blend of modern decor and flavorful, inventive plates provides a memorable setting for those looking to explore a distinct culinary concept in the heart of the city.
This place has one of the most beautiful terraces in the old-port. The food is Indian & french fusion so you will find great dishes like steak 🥩, oysters 🦪 when in season as well as tons of indian inspired sauces & spices. It's spicy but manageable. They also have a great cocktail list 🍹 & wine 🍷 list. By the way don't skip on dessert, that chocolate 🍫 soufley was amazing.
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.

Nous y sommes allés pour Mtl à table & nous n'avons pas été déçu!
Le menu offert était parfait, il y en avait pour tous les goûts.
J'ai Personnellement aimé mes choix ; Foie gras poêlé, Magret de canard à la coriandre ils étaient savoureux & goûteux!
Ensuite pour le dessert j'ai pris la tarte fusion au citron. On s'attend à une tarte des plus ordinaires, mais non! C'est surprenant!
Le service offert par Gonzalo était super. Il est attentionné & s'informe de nos besoins.
Nous avons apprécié qu'il soit venu nous rassurer qu'on pouvait prendre notre repas calmement suite à la visite de L'hôtesse qui était venue nous aviser que notre table était réservée pour 22h00. Il était 21h00 & nous venions de recevoir nos plats principaux. Malgré ce désagrément, je ne vais pas changé ma note envers le restaurant.
Je le conseille à tous si vous avez envie de découvrir des saveurs uniques!
Beautiful place, exceptional design. High-end Indo-French fusion, down-to-earth servers & manager. Very good service.
Currently running happy hour $1 oysters. Almost forgot, jazz trio (Thursday 6pm) great fun.
Didn't realize it was Indian French fusion (google & open table says French only). Was pleasantly surprised by how good the food & drinks were! Cocktails were particularly good. Food also quite fantastic, including foie gras & duck magret (cooked very, very well). Only negative was service. Perhaps it was just the waiter we had (another waitress was much better), but that one waiter left a sour taste on an otherwise great experience.
Très belle expérience ! On a été dîné avec nos enfants & très bien accueilli par le personnel qui est kid friendly :) La décoration est très belle & soignée ! Les installations sont confortables & agréable ! La nourriture est plutôt bonne la fusion marche bien entre la France/l'Inde j'aurais peut être voulu plus de plat revisité à la carte, j'imagine que la carte va être enrichi à l'avenir. Mon coup de coeur par contre est pour la crème brûlée qui est excellente ! Avec un petit goût subtil d'épices très bien dosée ! J'aurais pu en manger encore une autre facilement !! Les prix sont cohérent !
Amazing food, service & cocktails! It's a whole culinary experience & journey. Loveeeeed the Orzotto & the complexity & wonderful execution of this fusion menu! Will definitely be back! A must try in the Old Montreal! Thank you Héritaj!
I was excited to try this new restaurant, hoping for a unique blend of French & Indian cuisine, but sadly, it fell short of my expectations. As someone with a deep love for Indian flavors & with a partner from Punjab, we were both left underwhelmed. The concept of French-Indian fusion is intriguing, but the execution felt lacking. The dishes, while well-presented, didn't deliver the bold & rich spices that Indian cuisine is known for. There was a noticeable absence of depth in the curries & sauces, which left me wanting more flavor. Unfortunately, there was also no dessert with Indian inspiration-something I would have expected to round off the meal & balance the fusion concept. The round tables made for 4 are way too small; design can feel great but practically it just doesn't work. The drinks, which we hoped would creatively mirror the fusion of cultures, felt disconnected from the theme. They didn't elevate the experience as we anticipated, falling short of complementing the meal or embracing the French-Indian blend. I wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars for its concept, ambiance, & effort, but the flavors just didn't meet the mark for us.
