The RH Rooftop Restaurant at RH Montreal, The Gallery at Royalmount, is set within a year-round, skylit garden escape. Located on the third floor, the restaurant offers a menu of enduring classics and signature dishes, along with a curated selection of exceptional Champagnes, wines and signature cocktails. Dine beneath a dramatic atrium with heritage olive trees, sparkling chandeliers and a cascading center fountain.
Reviews highlight RH Rooftop Restaurant as a visually stunning spot with ornate chandeliers, a central fountain, and a glass roof that makes it feel special, often described as great for photos or celebrations, though some note the location inside a mall can be hard to locate and the terrace was sometimes inaccessible during colder months. The ambiance and decor are widely praised, with many visitors appreciating the elegant yet welcoming vibe; however several comments point to high prices and small portions, suggesting the experience is as much about setting as about hunger satisfaction. Food quality receives mixed signals: some dishes are praised for freshness and flavor while others are criticized for being underwhelming or inconsistently prepared. Service is frequently described as professional and friendly, yet a number of reviews report slow or uneven service, with guests noting delays between courses and occasional miscommunications. Brunch and dessert experiences receive varied remarks, from exceptionally attentive service and standout items to issues like temperature problems or overpricing. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a standout for atmosphere and a premium experience, but many guests feel the value does not always match the price and recommend tempering expectations regarding the food and service quality.
the food was amazing! i got a salad & it tasted delicious. but the service was terrible. for such a gorgeous place its crazy that the servers dont check on you & dont create any sort of rapport. the server barely listened to us & barely checked on us. it was also my birthday & high class restaurants always offer free dessert or actually care about how the present the dessert that we ordered. they definitely to work on their service but the food is good.
Die Location ist spektakulär: viele Kronleuchter, ein grosser Brunnen in der Mitte und insgesamt sehr schön inszeniert. Wir hatten einen der wenigen Tische direkt am Brunnen, das war wirklich toll. Von «Rooftop» merkt man allerdings wenig, es ist eher ein Restaurant im 5. Stock, die Terrasse war zudem zugeschneit.
Sehr gut waren das Glas französischer Champagner zu einem fairen Preis, die knusprigen Artischocken (originell, viel Rosmarin, feine Knoblauchsauce) sowie die Salate. Mein chinesischer Chicken Salad war lecker, und der Gem meiner Begleitung war ebenfalls sehr gut und riesig portioniert. Der bestellte Weisswein kam leider erst nach der Vorspeise, zu wenig gekühlt. Es wurde aber später regelmässig nachgeschenkt.
Der grosse Negativpunkt war jedoch die Qualität der warmen Gerichte: Die Crevetten-Vorspeise meiner Begleitung kam zu lange gegrillt, deshalb gummig und teilweise schwarz. Wir haben das sofort bemängelt. Umso enttäuschender war, dass mein Hauptgang danach genau gleich misslang: 8 Scampis, teils verkohlt und sogar kalt serviert.
Beim halben Hummer wurde uns auf Nachfrage bestätigt, dass er gegrillt sei. Er wirkte für uns jedoch eher wie gedämpft, jedenfalls fehlte die erwartete Grillnote. Dazu kam: Es gab keinerlei Beilagen, was auf der Speisekarte auch nicht erwähnt wird. Für dieses Preisniveau ist das enttäuschend, zumal stattdessen sehr viel Sauce serviert wurde. Wir haben deshalb den Rucola fair geteilt.
Auch beim Dessert das gleiche Bild: sehr süss, gute Konsistenz, aber deutlich zu dunkel karamellisiert. Zum Schluss wurden wir nicht gefragt, ob wir noch einen Kaffee möchten. Eine Weinberatung gab es ebenfalls nicht.
Bei diesem Preisniveau ist das Essen für uns insgesamt leider nur mässig gewesen. Schade, denn die Location hätte viel Potenzial.

I feel this place got an unfairly bad reputation as soon as it opened before they had the chance to properly setup.
*The place can be a bit hard to find, I suggest parking inside the Royal Mount mall going up with the elevator near where pouleet rouge is you can exit & walk across, the RH rooftop is basically across from the foodcoart of the shopping center you must go outside to get to it.
I got there early so there was plenty of space & the staff did sort of forget about me cos they were having their staff meeting I guess but it gave me the time to take a couple of cool pictures of the beautiful decor & fountain ⛲. They did come after about 15 minutes & appoligised, from then on the service was great. I ordered some oysters 🦪 & they were very fresh yet not perfectly shucked but still delicious 🤤. Best cesar 🥗 I ever had & the dessert 🍪 got to get that banana split ice cream 🍦 🍌 absolutely great experience over all. looking forward to try the terrace in the summer. Honestly less expensive than I was expecting, I also got a fabulous Bellini & the entire bill was like 100$ only.
This is an update of a previous evaluation
The food quality is better. The chef today was Fiona
The bread is now delicious & served warm = 10/10 ( I am told they changed the supplier)
The shrimp was good but a little salty 7/10
The crab legs were much better than before but a little wet7/10
The best thing about the restaurant is the dessert, especially the banana split, which is amazing & done by pastry chef Boulos.
the strawberries with cream are great
The atmosphere is amazing, the decor is beautiful, the servers , Maitre D & receptionist are very elegantly dressed, & the service is excellent
We went on a trip to Montreal & had our lunch at RH Rooftop. The restaurant is absolutely stunning - the glass rooftop, chandeliers, & décor make the atmosphere so elegant & relaxing. I had the Whole Grilled Branzino, which was cooked perfectly, while my partner enjoyed the Grilled Shrimp & loved it. We also shared dessert with coffee, which made our lunch even more special.
The service was friendly & attentive, & we were seated in a beautiful spot that made the experience memorable. It was the perfect place to enjoy our trip & we would definitely recommend it.'
Beautiful atmosphere.
Very nice & helpful staff.
Food is decent, not exceptional.
Cons:
Extremely slow service but this seems to be a kitchen issue with poor execution. Our dessert never showed up. When we called our server over to inquire about it after waiting 40 minutes, we were told they'didn't know when it would come as they're very busy'. They did offer us complimentary cookies but wait time for a dessert & the'we don't know when it'll arrive' is not appropriate for a restaurant like this. I do appreciate the server who was apologetic. They did end up crediting us for the dessert & packaging it to go as we were on our way out.
Price: way too expensive for what it is. Wayyyy too expensive, my god. We paid $300 for 2 salads, lobster tail appetizer, artichokes, 2 ices lattes, & a glass of wine. I don't mind spending money on culinary experiences but this does not warrant the price. Also, portions are quite small.
Overall, I think I'd go back but only when I have 5 hours to kill & $400 to waste.

Loved the interior - everything is super stylish! It was quite busy, so I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. The service was excellent, & the desserts were absolutely heart-melting
