Restaurant Nord defines the essence of Boréale cuisine by highlighting wild ingredients sourced directly from the rugged landscapes of Northern territories. This establishment prioritizes seasonal availability through a market-driven approach that showcases regional diversity on every plate. The kitchen staff meticulously prepares game meats, forest aromatics, and cold-water aquatic species to reflect the authentic flavors of the boreal biome. Minimalist presentation emphasizes the raw quality of products rather than complex culinary manipulation or artificial enhancements. Earthy textures and natural infusions characterize a focused menu that shifts dynamically with the changing agricultural calendar. Patrons engage with a culinary narrative centered on the heritage of northern ecosystems and the purity of terroir. This rigorous dedication to regional sourcing provides an uncompromising perspective on contemporary northern cooking traditions within a functional and modern architectural environment.
Restaurant Nord provides a scenic dining experience situated within a peaceful spa environment, often praised for its creative seasonal menu and high-quality wine selection. While many guests appreciate the focus on local Quebec products and the relaxing atmosphere, opinions regarding the food are divided. Some diners enjoy the unique offerings like the hasselback potatoes, while others express frustration over long wait times, high pricing, and a preference for warmer dishes during colder months. Recent adjustments to menu staples have also received mixed feedback, suggesting that while the location is enchanting, the overall culinary consistency remains a point of contention for visitors.
Probably one of the worst meals of my life. The smoked salmon was okay, but the rest is what wasn't. First of all we waited an hour for our mains. Second, we got the braised beef sandwich. The beef was dry & cold, it was like a cafeteria sandwich. We also got the duck, which was like 2 whole pieces & 2 ends. It was engulfed by sauces which least made it better even if they weren't the best. & finally, we ordered bread that was literally a stale poppy seed nut whatever airplane style bread with butter that had a 99% salt content. At least we laughed lol. I get the vibe of giving niche & different foods at spas, but this was exaggerated cuz if it's gonna be so different it should also be super good compared to what you get at regular restaurants. Anyways the experience was nice but I wouldn't spend at the resto jsut get a facial or smth. We didn't wanna say anything cause the waiter & hostess were super nice & just doing there jobs but def do not recommend.
Le Strom Spa de l'Île-des-Soeurs est un endroit unique à Montréal. Avec plus de 200 espèces d'oiseaux observées dans le secteur du Lac des Battures, l'expérience donne vraiment l'impression d'être en pleine réserve naturelle.
Entre le calme du lac, les oiseaux migrateurs & l'ambiance haut de gamme du spa, c'est facilement un des endroits les plus apaisants de la ville.
This is a reliably good spa restaurant. I highly recommend the hasselback potato (order two!) & the mochaccino. Only disappointment today was that they changed the bread that comes with the soup. The previous one was delicious & this new one was dry & tasteless. Bring back the old bread!!

We ate at the Nord restaurant during our visit to Strom Spa, & the experience was disappointing.
We did not expect the'Nordic' cuisine concept to mean that most dishes would be served cold. The duck I ordered was cold, chewy, & not enjoyable, & overall the food was underwhelming, especially for the price point. Preparation time was also very long, which made the experience even more frustrating.
Given that the food quality does not match the pricing or the spa's standards, I would recommend eating elsewhere before or after your spa visit rather than relying on the restaurant.
A dépassé mes attentes. Menu saisonnier créatif qui reflète bien les saveurs & les couleurs de l'automne. Excellente sélection de vin. Une belle combinaison gastronomique avec le site enchanteur du spa. Coûteux mais bonne valeur pour le prix.
Super expérience culinaire pour bien compléter son passage au spa, le service était impeccable, les portions plus que généreuses, un menu tout en fraîcheur avec beaucoup d'aromates. Le plateau artisan était juste parfait, beaucoup de variété (cornichons, fromages bien chambrés, rillette de poisson, noix assorties, marinades). Il était possible de remplacer son peignoir mouillé sans frais, ce qui est très agréable pour bien manger au sec (ce ne sont pas tous les endroits qui l'offre si je me fie à mes autres récentes expériences en spa). La terrasse chauffée était également une belle touche :-)
A cute oasis just outside downtown Montreal. This location in particular was small. I had an okay time. I didn't get any treatments but used the facilities. There wasn't a scrub room & my shower stall ran out of conditioner. The locker room didn't have enough benches & people had to wait while others got dressed before they could access their lockers. It was also hard to find space to put down your belongings (ie. The robe & towel). It was a little strange to have security guards on the grounds checking water & tea jugs. Other places have designated spa personnel for this. Security would walk around in full uniform -- boots & all while everyone else is in barefoot or flip flops/sandals. Also, the main entrance isn't clearly marked.
