Restaurant Solymar Montreal delivers authentic Peruvian flavors with generous portions and a lively Latin ambiance where ceviche and seafood are frequently praised and the large menu offers something for every palate. Guests highlight fresh fish, tasty ceviche, and standout dishes like lomo saltado when well executed, along with crowd favorites such as chupe and picarones, plus reliable lunch specials and effective catering for office events. Prices are on the higher side, but many feel the quality and portions justify the cost, and recent visits show improvements in seafood dishes, desserts, and overall consistency. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though experiences can vary with wait times and a few notes about cross contamination concerns from non-seafood diners. The restaurant remains a popular choice for a celebratory Peruvian meal with bold flavors, generous servings, and a welcoming atmosphere in Montreal.
I'm editing my review. After coming back a couple of times, I've noticed several improvements. The quality of the plates has improved, especially the ones based on seafood. Ceviche is always good & Pisco Sour is the best I've tried in a very long time. Propably the most common plates are not so good (I don't like Jalea or Lomo Saltado here) but other plates are delicious (like Chupe, Pariguela). The desserts have also improved, I recommend the picarones. The prices are still a little high, but they're similar to other Peruvian restaurants in Montreal.
Top notch .
I went here based on word of mouth from a Peruvian gentleman I met at all places super C in Aylmer Quebec ! Great ambience , friendly staff , great food .
Not as great as my local Peruvian restaurant Amazonas in Aylmer QC , but a close second !

Lunch special is out of this world! What a great deal & an amazing way to go & try traditional dishes. For people who don't know Peruvian food this a great place to get introduced.
This is my'go to' place. It's not downtown Montreal, but the trip to the east end is well worth it. Authentic Peruvian cuisine, great atmosphere, & live music on some nights. Ate there dozens of times over the years, success every time. Make sure to hold back the spicy'rocoto' when ordering ceviche, unless you know what to expect!
"With the many Peruvian restaurants in Montreal, this one has room to improve. While portion sizes were generous & the space was clean, the flavors fell short of expectations. With a bit more attention to authenticity & taste, this place could really shine among Montreal's Peruvian dining options."
Amazing restaurant to taste Peruvian sea food & barbecue meat. People are welcoming. Excellent client service provided by waitress. I recommend Soly Mar foods.
WOW! Was this just an off day ? This is not the same Peruvian cuisine that we loved so much. Sorry to say, but the magic is gone. My medium rare Rib steak had some OK areas, but most was tough & over-cooked! Wife's Mussels were so small, that actually there was nothing to eat! The $21 ceviche (we thought it was as an appetizer) was actually a cup of "Tiger's milk" with a few pieces of fish. Very disappointed to pay $100 for this & walk away still hungry. Not recommended !
One of my favourite restaurant, serves real Peruvian food at affordable prices, the portions are big because no one likes to still be hungry after a restaurant meal. I definitely recommend it to literally everyone because you need to try it, everything here's is good, I've probably tasted 15+ of their meals & they're each as good as the other one. Good ambiance, fair prices & delicious cocktails plates.
Before, this was our go-to restaurant, however, recently they hiked up the prices & lowered the quality. Their servings are much smaller & with less seafood than before, increasing the amount of filler food. Although the service was good, I can't justify the amount they charge for what they deliver. Needless to say we will not be coming back, & I will be taking my business to one of the many other Peruvian restaurants.
