Nestled in the heart of Montreal, Zoëlle is the ideal spot for a 5 à 7, pre- and post-hockey game gatherings, or private events, providing an outstanding dining experience on every occasion.
Reviews portray Zoelle as a standout dining destination with a stunning setting and a fusion concept that blends Mediterranean and Japanese influences. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness, warmth, and expert recommendations across the menu, with several mentions of knowledgeable staff guiding choices and making celebrations feel special. The food earns high marks for freshness and presentation, from sushi and sashimi to tartares, octopus, lamb meatballs, braised beef, and a dessert strong point, while cocktails like the passion fruit martini and espresso martini are often highlighted favorites. The atmosphere is described as elegant yet inviting, with some noting a lively vibe and others appreciating a calmer, refined dining room, though a few reviews call value into question and note occasional slower pacing or menu gaps during peak times. Practical perks such as nearby valet parking, a newer lunch option, and a well stocked bar are often mentioned, and overall Zoelle is seen as a memorable and repeatable experience worth returning to for special occasions, dates, or group dinners.
Honestly, it's been a very long time I had a great dining experience in the downtown area & Zoelle totally delivered it. Nelson, Jana & the rest of the staff were truly attentive & gave me & my friends an amazing service. I recommend the salmon tartare for sure!
Will surely come back in the summer!
A flawless dining experience worth every star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
From the time your hands touch the door, the beautiful, smiling, warm positive energy from the hostess sets the stage for what becomes one of the most delicious culinary experiences from start to finish.
Service: Attentive without being intrusive - the staff anticipated needs before I even voiced them. The owner, Alex, was on the floor personally ensuring every guest was properly attended to, & the gentlemen working the floor carried themselves with class, making the entire experience feel both welcoming & refined. Our waiter, Illyan, was exceptionally knowledgeable & absolutely spot?on with his food & wine recommendations, elevating the entire dining journey.
Food: We experienced culinary perfection with 10?star sushi - each piece a work of art, balancing freshness, precision, & flavour in a way that left us speechless. Every dish was a masterpiece, bold yet harmonious, with presentation rivaling fine art.
Ambiance: Lighting, music, & décor created a sensory experience that elevated the meal into something unforgettable.
Value: For the quality delivered, the price felt more like an investment in joy than a bill.
I rarely give perfect scores, but this restaurant deserves it. A true 10/10 - I'll be recommending it to everyone I know & returning .

La nourriture était délicieuse & variée, mais ce qui a vraiment marqué notre expérience, c'est le service impeccable de notre serveuse, Gaëlle. Attentive, chaleureuse & professionnelle. Merci Gaëlle pour ta gentillesse & ton souci du détail, tu as largement contribué à faire de cette soirée un moment mémorable. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter !
Went last night with 4 other individuals. I arrived earlier than the group & had a drink while I waited for my group to arrive. I loved the atmosphere & music & it was a nice lounge experience.
The food was great. The service was very attentive & the waiters recommendations were bang on.
I've dined at countless restaurants, but nothing compares to this unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away. The plating was pure art, & the flavors? Just as exquisite as they looked!! The service was flawless-so attentive & warm. The atmosphere was so fun & inviting, I never wanted to leave. & the food I crave it every single week. 😅 This place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
Nothing special about this place. It doesn't compare to other upscale restaurants in Montreal. Sushi was good meals were ok. Servers were nice but not attentive. Atmosphere was ok. So it wasn't so bad but expecting a lot better for what Zoelle is trying to accomplish.
I had a fantastic experience at Zoelle, the staff were friendly & attentive throughout the evening. Everything from the food to the drinks were amazing along with some of the best & freshest sushi I've had in Montreal. It's definitely a must try restaurant in the city.

Love this new spot in downtown Montreal. Everything was delicious! The passion fruit martini was really good, the nigiri & sushi were the best! The service was excellent too, they were very attentive & always smiling. I will definitely go back.
Ce restaurant ne rémunère pas ses prestataires. Il y a plus d'un an, mon entreprise de ménage familiale leur a fait un grand ménage pendant 3 jours. Ils n'ont jamais payé la facture. Notre entreprise s'appelle PROPRETE PARFAIT INC, et pendant 6 ans nous avons été en charge du nettoyage de l'ancien restaurant BIERMARKET, et nous n'avons jamais eu de problèmes avec BIERMARK
Delicious food with beautiful presentation. Staff were friendly, professional & highly attentive. Atmosphere was trendy & sophisticated. Our group had a wonderful evening at Zoëlle & we are looking forward to returning soon.
