I had the chance to visit Veranda, the new Indian restaurant in Old Port, & it's a true gem. The space is stunning - it has the same upscale feel as any steak house but with its own charm & personality. The menu offers a wide range of Indian dishes, all full of authentic flavor & beautifully presented. Everything we tried tasted fresh & well-balanced, not overly heavy like some places.
The bar is impressive, with a huge selection of drinks that make it just as much a place to enjoy a cocktail as it is to enjoy a meal. The staff were warm, attentive, & made the whole experience even better.
What stood out most to me is the versatility of the space. For a dating couple, the cozy yet elegant atmosphere makes it perfect for a romantic night out. & for larger gatherings, the massive backyard is an unexpected surprise in Old Port-it feels tailor-made for weddings or big celebrations.
Restaurant Veranda was a complete delight! The service was so knowledgeable & attentive. The restaurant was beautiful but a bit warm (excessively hot day). The food was unbelievably delicious! Our server made excellent suggestions & the spice had so much nuance & layers of flavor. Between the decor, exceptional food, & the warm, attentive service- I strongly recommend Restaurant Veranda

We enjoyed the samosa tart, parata, minced chicken dish, & lamb josh. The ingredients were of a very high quality, & the dishes were tender, flavorful, & you can tell where the results of long slow cooking. We ate lunch in the beautiful of your outdoor patio & highly recommend it!
Absolutely outstanding. We learned that this restaurant just opened a few months ago. & oh wow. The food was outstanding. The naan was probably one of the best we have ever had (& we love indian food!)
I have no doubt that this restaurant will be a success!
Our waitress Jaina was very attentive.
Because we were sitting right next to the speakers, the music was a bit loud, making it hard to place our order.. but she immediately
Asked the DJ to turn it down a bit., & we had a pleasant evening.
My husband ordered chicken Tikka masala, my daughter Butter Chicken , & i had Dahl Makhani per her recommendation.
My daughter also had this beautiful pink lady cocktail.
The flavors were spot on!
So glad we had dinner here tonight!!!!
We might have to come back before our vacation is over.
Beautiful setting, I know as I am in the picture. Food was amazing. I recommend shrimp & chicken appetizers. Also lamb Korma, butter chicken was excellent. Beautiful restaurant well worth it. Will def go bag.
We were genuinely impressed with this spot. The interior was beautifully designed, spacious, elegant. Loved the outdoor veranda, easy for large parties or private events.
The food was bomb. Malai chicken, palak with burrata, cocktails, daal makhani were all spot on. Definitely repeatable
Absolutely amazing. We learned about this place when we stopped in one night - my friend's daughter had been stung & the bartender provided help with a first aid kit. So very kind. My husband & I returned for our last meal in Montreal - we ordered the Butter Chicken & the Rara Chicken. The server warned us about the bones in the latter & lowered the spice level. The dishes were incredible, layered with flavour. This is the best Indian food I've ever tasted. We sat in the courtyard out thr back of the restaurant - it was quiet, peaceful & beautiful, with ivy climbing stone walls. Chirog, another bartender, crafted us a cocktail by listening to what we liked - it was delicious & he listed the name we gave it, Chirog's sunshine, on the bill. This is a new restaurant & no doubt will be successful given the service, location & food.
Veranda is a beautiful Indian restaurant with tasty food & a cozy indoor seating. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Panneer, & Naan. Everything was full of flavour but I felt our Chicken was little bit undercooked, a little chewy. The staff was friendly, & the place felt warm & welcoming. It's just a 5 to 7 minute walk from Old Port.
The food was nice, though a bit pricey. Our bill was around $175 plus tip. But it was nice to treat ourselves once in a while. A lovely spot for a special meal in Montreal!
This was the most impeccable dining experience! As a local it was so nice trying a new restaurant & the food, service, & atmosphere were top tier. I had the dragonfruit cocktail which is my favourite cocktail I've ever had, a shrimp meal, vegetable curry, & the coconut salmon. Every single bite was perfection. I sat in the courtyard area but the inside was so beautiful I'll have to come back to experience that too! also exceptional espresso martinis, one of the best in the city.

Stunning new Indian restaurant in the Old port. The only place to enjoy high end authentic flavours in Montreal. The beautiful decor + outdoor area caught our attention, the lovely welcoming & service made us stay & the delicious food will have us come back. Definitely worth visiting.
a stunning destination for elevated Indian cuisine in the Old Port of Montreal.
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by one of the most beautiful courtyard terraces in the city, providing a serene & elegant backdrop for our meal.
The careful attention to detail in each plate was obvious. Every dish we tried was delicious, showcasing expertise & passion.
We also explored their carefully crafted cocktail menu, which was nothing short of incredible-perfectly complementing the vibrant flavors of the dishes.
They offer a remarkable atmosphere paired with exquisite food & drinks. It's an absolute gem that is perfect for a special night out or a celebration!
The food was 10/10. The best restaurant & food during my 4 days trip to Montreal & Quebec City. The restaurant aesthetics were great. The spice level matched my expectations. Anna is a very beautiful soul & customer-friendly server. She went over the menu with us & also recommended places to visit as we were first time visitors in the area. She was very polite & hardworking. Though I do think that the management should treat her better & appreciate her work more.
My wife & I had the most delightful meal at this beautiful spot. The drinks & food are both inventive & deeply reminiscent. The flavors are incredible. We really enjoyed everything.

Visiting from the US, So glad we stopped! Beautiful, welcoming atmosphere & people; delightful authentic Indian cuisine. So good!
You can tell everyone here truly cares about service & craft, from the bartender to the chef.
I had an exceptional dining experience at Veranda, where the Indian cuisine truly exceeded expectations. The Paneer Makhana was rich & flavorful, the Veg Korma was perfectly spiced & hearty, & the Palak Burrata Cheese was a unique, delicious twist that blended traditional & modern beautifully. The naans were soft, warm, & ideal for scooping up every last bite. To top it all off, the customer service was outstanding-friendly, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. Every aspect of the meal was perfect. A well-deserved 5-star experience!
I went in not knowing much about indian cuisine, the staff was really friendly & knowledgeable to explain their menu. The restaurant is beautiful with their backyard & the food was amazing & their had great house cocktails! I'm sure to come back again
Absolutely loved our experience at Veranda! The ambiance was warm & inviting, the food was exceptional, & every dish was beautifully presented & bursting with flavor. Special shoutout to Jaina, who made our evening even more memorable with her attentive & friendly service. She went above & beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place - 5 stars all the way
