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!
We had such a wonderful time at Zoelle. Nelson, the manager, truly elevated our visit, he took the time to share the owner's background & explain the concept behind the restaurant, which made the whole experience feel even more special.
The food was absolutely delicious, the bar was spotless & inviting, & the entire restaurant is simply beautiful. They're also open for lunch now at very reasonable prices, which is a great bonus.
Another plus: there's valet parking available at the Sheraton right next door, which makes the whole outing even more convenient.
& I have to mention the espresso martini… easily one of the best I've had. 😍
Highly recommend - Zoelle is a gem.

Nous sommes allés pour la Saint-Valentin & nous avons malheureusement été très déçus par la nourriture.
L'ambiance était belle & agréable, ce qui a rendu la soirée plaisante de ce côté-là.
En revanche, les plats n'étaient pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. Cela ne nous dérange absolument pas de payer cher pour un bon repas, mais dans ce cas-ci, le prix nous a semblé excessif par rapport à la qualité & à l'expérience culinaire offertes.
Malheureusement je ne recommande pas ce restaurant
My fiancé & I held our engagement party at this restaurant, & we couldn't have chosen a better venue. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. We reserved the entire second floor, which came with a private bar & bathroom, creating an intimate & special evening.
The staff's teamwork & friendliness made our night completely stress-free. Our servers, Nelson & Elenor, went above & beyond, setting up our table beautifully with flowers & providing exceptional service throughout the night.
On top of the stunning venue & incredible staff, the food was unforgettable. The fried calamari, fresh tartares, & the braised beef were especially popular with our guests & tasted amazing.
We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly memorable 5-star experience. We can't thank the staff at Zoelle enough!
Much love,
Ryan & Mackenzie
Très beau restaurant! L'hôtesse est toujours souriante & le barman est très serviable! Je recommande si vous cherchez un endroit pour boire un verre entre amis.
Overall very happy with my visit at the restaurant. The warm crispy sushi's for entrees were to die for & I would come back just for that. Unfortunately the main course I wanted for my birthday dinner wasn't available since the chef wasn't in that day & I had to settle with a different meal which was good but couldn't really compensate with what I wanted originally. Service was impeccable. Cedrick made us feel so welcome & checked on us often. The restaurant was empty for a Thursday night however it most definitely is a nice spot & I would recommend. Overall food, drink, atmosphere, service I'll give it a 9/10 just because I didn't get to try my birthday meal. Thanks for having us & taking such great care of us.

We had the best experience with our server Gaelle! She was so sweet with my fiancee & I. Definitely created a great dining experience & overall great at her job! Would recommend this restaurant & server!
Food was great. Service was excellent! I recommend the eggplant dish, cod & short rib. For dessert, the Mille feuille!! Octopus was average (most Greek restaurants are better). Validated parking next door at Sheraton which helps the'going downtown' experience.
Je suis allée avec des amis & j'ai passé une magnifique soirée. Le service était impeccable & notre serveuse, Gaelle, a été d'une grande gentillesse, rendant l'expérience encore meilleure. Je recommande !

Excellente expérience ! Le service & la cuisine étaient impeccables. Notre serveur, Cédrick, s'est montré attentionné, chaleureux & de très bon conseil, il connaissait parfaitement le menu & ses suggestions étaient à point. La qualité & la fraîcheur des produits ont vraiment fait toute la différence. Ma préférence réside dans la cuisine japonaise! La cuisine méditerranéenne était bien mais manquait légèrement de punch (goût personnel) peut-être le choix que j'ai pris (tartare de boeuf).
Nous avons passé un très bon moment. Je recommande sans hésiter & y retournerai avec plaisir. Merci pour cette belle soirée !
Ronia our server was fantastic. We asked about the music playing which was soft remakes of rock classics such as Pink Floyd & she brought the playlist over so that we could add it to our Spotify. She took the extra effort which was appreciated. Margarita was great as was the crispy spicy salmon roll. Bluefin tuna was excellent. Service was prompt. Highly recommend! One of our best dining experiences in Montreal.
OMG. I heard about this restaurant from a tiktok user who lives in Montreal. She recommended this place for a date night. I gotta say, the food here is amazing. My wife & I started with sushi & sashimi. They were nothing I had ever tried before. They hit all your taste buds. Afterward, I tried the beef short rib, & my wife tried the calamari.
The beef was very soft. Like melt in your mouth soft. You don't need a lot of chewing. I'm not a Calamari fan, but I tried a couple of pieces from my wife. They were actually really good.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful. Music isn't too loud, The bar is very well stocked.
I highly recommend anyone to try this place out.
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
On a ete tres bien recu! A l'entree, serveuse, bartender & proprietaire attentionné! Belle ambiance & bonne cuisine ! On recommande on on va y retourner! 100%

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!
Had a wonderful meal here last night. The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly. We kept our mains pretty simple & went for steaks, which came with a delicious brown butter gravy. The fries are very crispy & fluffy on the inside. The service was so friendly, albeit a bit slow, but we were not in a rush & they comped us fries & a bonus dessert. Would definitely go back & highly recommend.
The foods are amazing sushi is the best ,from appetizer,main course dessert & drinks way beyond our expectations,service very good well recommended 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤?
Avant de commencer gros merci a yanis & ylian qui on rendu mon expérience a Zoelle pour moi & ma femme tres agreable. Service & recommandation A1. J'ai adorer les cocktails & les sushis était délicieux merci beaucoup pour cette expérience inoubliable!
I celebrated my birthday at this restaurant last night, & I have to say-it was an absolute A+++ experience from start to finish. The food the wine & the cocktails were simply exquisite, & the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. We were a large group, which can sometimes make things tricky, but the service was flawless-especially thanks to Yllian, who went above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect.
We all ended up picking off each other's plates, & honestly, not a single bite was a disappointment. Every dish was beautifully presented & packed with incredible flavor. The view was just as stunning as the meal, creating the perfect atmosphere for an unforgettable night.
This place truly knows how to deliver an exceptional dining experience. Can't wait to come back-highly recommend!
