Un classique des restaurants péruviens. Le ceviche & la jalea sont toujours aussi bons, mais les portions ont diminué tandis que les prix ont augmenté. Idéal pour les groupes.
Our last night in beautiful Downtown Montreal & our final dining stop was Sol y Mar a warm family run business with numerous years in the culinary field which is very evident! Well we definitely weren't expecting to be blown away with the most exquisite Mediterranean Portuguese Cuisine your senses will experience! Our romantic date night began with the most charming movie-like window view spot seating! Our server David made our evening extra memorable. His professionalism, friendliness & attention to detail was extraordinary. Every dish we ate was prepared so beautifully with the highest quality to flavor & presentation! Exquisite, full of flavor & cooked to perfection! We have not had a meal like this in along time! So glad we stumbled across this amazing place in the cutest neighborhood with top notch food & excellent staff. The value & pricing was phenomenal for a feast like this! David we won't ever forget you & please save us our spot! We will be returning happily!! God Bless this family & small business for years to come!🙏

Honestly the main dishes are expensive, most of them turn around 30-40$ but the price does reflect the quality of the dishes. The fish was really fresh, the limonade & desserts were delicious. Expensive but in some ways worth it. It won't hurt to go here when you want a special treat. Also, the menu is really big, everyone should be able to find an option that would please them.
I will definitely go try it again to see if that was a lucky day or if the quality is consistent.
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.
You guys, this place felt like a first kiss omg. It is so refreshing to find a restaurante that's loyal to latino cuisine in Montreal, the cebiche was amazing, the lomo was tender, & I was very feliz. Gracias.
My partner & I visited Sol y Mar with friends & were genuinely excited to try it. Unfortunately, the food experience was a letdown for us.
We don't eat seafood or fish (simply not our thing & hate the taste), so we both ordered the steak with peppercorn sauce. Sadly, the meat had a very strong fishy aftertaste, & the fries tasted like they had been cooked in the same fryer as seafood. Because of this, we had to send both dishes back.
We reordered another beef-based dish, hoping for a better outcome. While it was slightly improved, there was still a noticeable fishy taste. Since we were dining with three other friends, we didn't want to send our plates back a second time & reluctantly ate what we could.
That said, the service was decent. Our server was attentive, professional, & genuinely kind throughout the evening, which made the situation easier to handle.
Overall, the hospitality was great, but for people who don't eat seafood, cross-contamination in the kitchen seems to be an issue in my opinion & unfortunately, this significantly impacted our experience & left us disappointed with the food.
