Fantastic inventive Indian cuisine. Beautiful ambience in the old port. Very creative drinks & dishes. Our waiter was very helpful & explained some of the dishes we never tried & made recommendations. Highly recommended.

I think this restaurant is a hit or miss
Great selection of wine don't go on suggested wine , drink your regular one.
Of the 4 courses we had 2 I did not like the soup & starter paneer
The main course that was lamb was beyond delicious , bread was nice , rice were a bit flat .
Dessert again not a fan.
Ambiance ,service , food presentation & location top notch .
Unfortunately my experience here was pretty disappointing from start to finish. The food itself was good & the restaurant is beautiful, but I didn't get to see much of it unfortunately. Maybe it was an off night for them but seemed like they were ill equipped for the busy rush of a Saturday night. I made a reservation for 7:30, it took the host a few minutes to even show up. He told me to wait 5-10 minutes & then disappeared again, while a line of people were waiting. He then proceeded to take other people ahead. He finally took my name & because I was a solo diner, he told me he could accommodate me at the bar. I didn't want to make a fuss & take a table from other diners, so I agreed, although it was not my preference. I got to the bar, but not much accommodating happened. After a while the bar tender asked if I wanted a drink, I wasn't given a cocktail menu so had to wait for that. I waited & waited for someone to take my food order…a waitress even asked if she could take my menu, but nothing. Finally, I asked to place my order, when the waiter/bar tender came to take my order, he walked away mid order. Thankfully the food came quickly because I was ready to leave…but then had to wait & wait again for my check. Not worth the money if this truly is the level of service.
Went there for my birthday dinner with family. Amazing drinks/cocktails, appetizers. Main course dishes are delicious as well, specially paneer martaban. & I have been surprised with complimentary cake by the restaurant . Made my day. Must go in Montreal
Don't skip Veranda! Great service, our server offered to explain what everything was on the menu, & she checked in on us regularly. The food was excellent! The veg korma & palak burrata were delicious & the drinks were some of our favorite during our stay in Montreal.
From the very first bite, Veranda proves itself to be more than just a restaurant-it's an experience. The artistry of each dish balances refined presentation with the soulful spice of India, creating a harmony that feels both familiar & transporting.
The evening began with a playful starter that looked like art on a plate-crispy shells crowned with yogurt, tamarind, & herbs, each bite bursting with texture & brightness. It set the stage for the mains, where comfort & luxury met in bowls of velvety curries. The butter chicken was as indulgent as it was balanced, while the paneer & dal carried layers of depth & warmth that lingered well past the last bite. Fresh naan, blistered & golden, pulled everything together like the perfect supporting act.
Even the cocktail list tells a story-Whispers of Veranda, a martini kissed with a delicate drop of mint essence, was as refreshing as it was refined. Crafted with care by Zora, a bartender whose talent & warmth elevate the entire bar experience, it felt like the perfect expression of the restaurant itself.
Hospitality here deserves its own applause. Manager Mohit leads with genuine warmth & attentiveness, ensuring every guest feels not only welcomed but truly cared for. Together with the team, he creates an atmosphere that is as memorable as the food itself.
The experience is as much about ambiance as it is about flavor-flowers on the bar, attentive service, & plates presented with elegance that invite you to slow down & savor.
In short: Veranda is a place where tradition & innovation sit side by side, each dish & drink a quiet celebration of culture, craft, & care.

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.
This restaurant was amazing! The service was great, they talk to you like you've always known each other, the drinks & food are impeccable. I will gladly return!
Absolutely spectacular meal! The food & drinks were amazing, loved the ambience & our server, Anna, was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly & made the dining experience that much more enjoyable because of her excellent service! Will definitely be back!!! If you go, ask for Anna!😊

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!
Is it possible to find a hidden gem on Rue Saint Paul? This place just opened but it won't be undiscovered for long. Fantastic drinks, great bartender, & a wonderful atmosphere inside. There's lovely patio seating in the back & overall a very sophisticated modern Indian vibe.
La nourriture est de très bonne qualité, le chef est extraordinaire. De la cuisine indienne oui mais avec une twist & un autre niveau de rafinement. On ne lésine aucunement sur les épices, c'est goûteux & très satisfaisant.
L'endroit est superbe, tout viens directement de l'inde (& un peu de homesense lol) & il y a une énorme terrasse arrière, c'est magnifique.
Vous allez vous régaler avec les yeux & avec la bouche. Bar complet, superbe drinks. Je le recommande fortement.
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.
