changed a bit from last year, in the best possible way ! The place was packed so we were standing at the bar, to which we agreed after Sarah kindly explained that we'd have to wait longer for a table, but we could enjoy the music even more (dj set was amazing)!!
Beautiful rooftop terrace on the 44th floor of Place Ville-Marie.
For now, it's bar service only, but they'll be offering a full food menu in about a month. Be sure to grab a sofa spot facing Mount Royal to fully enjoy the stunning sunset & panoramic view. The vibe is stylish & relaxed, with efficient service. I had a delicious glass of Sancerre & noticed they also offer Veuve Clicquot Champagne.
I absolutely loved the DJ, who set the perfect mood in harmony with the breathtaking sunset. I'll definitely be coming back.
One downside: a waitress ignored my request for the restroom, so I ended up (I think) using the staff bathroom. My server was fantastic, but one waitress wasn't very friendly. See photos for the door to the restroom-I had to find it on my own.
Went here a bit ago with some buddies of mine & we had an absolute blast! We had a bit of a struggle finding the restaurant but thankfully the chef, Porshe if I remember correctly, there was very kind & lead the way! We had an amazing talk with her as well & she did an amazing job answering our barrage of questions lol. She did a great job describing the food & it all sounded absolutely mouth watering. We were considering ordering everything on the menu, however, we were only three people & all that food would've been way too much lol. & with the way she spoke about the restaurant & her job, I could see it was like her face lit up. That chef is truly someone who is passionate about her career & the food she makes & with the way she speaks I'd trust her to make anything she puts out be of the best quality. & oh boy was I right! Now to a few points I'd like to make: 1. The food was somehow even better than described. The chef even joked about how she was worried she made everything sound too good but honestly, she didn't compliment the food nearly enough! Unfortunately we ate a bit before heading there so we were pretty full, but let me tell you, I would've ordered 6 burratas if my stomach could handle it! & the plating for the charceuterie was beautiful, like a nice, full garden. The shrimp sauce was also absolutely delicious! 2. The scenery was gorgeous, we managed to get there a bit before sunset & let me tell you, it was life changing. It does get a bit dull after sunset, but once that happened things started to pick up a bit more on the terrace itself. 3. The staff were pretty nice, a little slow & we had to wait for a bit for food & drinks, but we saw them running around & doing stuff so we were well aware that they were busy & weren't like in a corner on their phones. The people next to us were being a bit rude, so we just wanted to be as polite & patient as possible. Whenever our server did come to speak to us though he was so sweet & I just wanted to tell him how great of a job he was doing. 4. The drinks weren't half bad, the spritz you can taste the alcohol, so if you prefer something where you can't taste it I'd recommend something else but in the end it was all pretty damn delicious. In the end, I'd say this place is an 8 or 9/10, service can be improved upon, but then again if even a tenth of their clientele is like the table next to us, then they have a lot on their hands. So I'd say good job to everyone all around, & if I ever come back to Montreal again then I'd love to buy everyone a round of drinks.

Bar ayant remplacé Les Enfants Terribles en haut du bâtiment. La vue est donc incroyable mais c'est bien la seule raison d'y aller.. Déjà quand dans un bar, on vous sert des cocktails à 18$ (sans taxes ni pourboire) dans un verre en plastique c'est mauvais signe. Encore plus quand le dit cocktail n'est même pas bon & noyé dans les glaçons. Inacceptable. Le service était bien quoiqu'un peu long mais tous les employés étaient sympathiques. On s'attend clairement à une meilleure expérience pour le prix & le cadre! C'est dommage...
Rose Orange made me feel like I was right back in Toronto - not all for good reasons though. First off, as others have noted, making reservations here is a major pain. There is no contact number whatsoever, so you can't make modifications. Overall the reservations don't seem to be effectively managed at all. I showed up for my reservation & the hostess made me wait for several minutes while assisting others. I reserved a table & she tried to put us at the bar - I pointed out that's not what I reserved. It seemed like she was trying to work out a table for us on the spot when it was supposed to be a reservation, & she wasn't apologetic about this at all. The prices are cutthroat, & for no reason as others have said the cocktails are nothing impressive. Better to just go for mixed drinks although a simple tequila soda will still ring you about $18-20 with tip. The bartender that served me at the further bar towards the edge was the only person who displayed good service. The space allows you to mingle to a degree, but the crowd is on the pretentious side so not as much mixing here as you would find at pub or bar. There is a DJ area but not much dancing going on. My motus towards this place is to just order a drink or two & enjoy the views, get a few pics/clips & never come back.
Bar sympa. Belle vue. Carte de cocktails intéressante mais un peu dispendieuse (mais prix de downtown). Côté bouffe, choix un peu limité mais la burtata est très bonne. Musique un peu trop forte. Service agréable.
Rooftop bar with amazing views. Live DJ. Music a bit too loud. Very windy up there but they have heaters near the bar area & high tops. Our drinks were delicious - highly recommend the spicy marg. Pretty strong tbh... though prices are up there. Didn't try any food. Service at the bar was very nice & social- & a very lovely gentleman came to our table to refresh our drinks. The crowd is very young, hipster. Felt pretty out of place but it was cool nonetheless. D1 elevator all the way up. Then through revolving doors & up elevator again to Rose Orange. Enjoy!
I added photos for steps to get to the rooftop bar from the rez-de-chaussée lobby, because I got lost a few times trying to navigate the Place-Ville-Marie elevator & upper floor restaurants (you're welcome!). As for the actual review: I thought the staff was lovely, very nice & welcoming. I loved my cocktail, it was very good. The food was so-so like other reviews said, so I wouldn't come here for food, but definitely cocktails. Great place for before or after dinner if you're looking for drinks with an incredible view of the city!
