Overall, Rose Orange is described as a standout rooftop with stunning views and a lively yet relaxed vibe, especially at sunset, where the ambiance feels stylish and welcoming. Cocktails are repeatedly praised for creativity and balance, though some guests feel prices are high for what they consider average drinks and note that food is not always available yet. Crowds can be challenging on busy nights with long lines and a guestlist system that can be confusing or uneven, and table availability may feel time limited. Staff are frequently commended for warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism, with certain bartenders and hosts singled out for making guests feel at home, while a few reviews point to occasional lapses in service or cleanliness. Overall, it comes across as a memorable spot for great drinks and views, best on good nights, with crowds and price considerations to keep in mind for planning.
Ok place, high price for mediocre drinks. Been there for a 5 a 7 in the past with colleagues. Decided to bring my nephew & wife one day but we're turned around because they don't allow kids. Was kind of disappointed because the view is nice & I was looking forward to showing it to them.
Had an amazing experience at this Montreal gem! Ayush greeted us warmly at the door, & once inside, Oliento & Alex took care of us with top-notch service. The cocktails were fantastic-creative, balanced, & beautifully crafted. The ambiance was perfect, with stunning views & a lively yet relaxed vibe. Highly recommend this spot for great drinks, excellent service, & an unforgettable atmosphere!

Beautiful terrasse & amazing drinks. The waitresses & bartenders are so nice & amazing. Elizabeth is the sweetest!! The atmosphere is classy & the views are impeccable
Best terrasse in Montreal! Killer sunset views, cool vibe, great cocktails - the Hugo was actually worth it (for once). Shoutout to Roxanne for the amazing service!
Absolutely stunning spot with an incredible view! Roxanne is an exceptional bartender-friendly, skilled, & her cocktails are top-notch. She made the whole experience unforgettable & definitely gave me a reason to come back soon.
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.
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.

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!
Phenomenal atmosphere because of the view, clean, & friendly staff. Food wise, personally the menu lacked option but many options for drinks. I would recommend everyone to experience this place at least once.
I'm only giving 2 stars because of the view & the music. The view is truly this place's selling point. However, getting up there was really difficult. We had to go a floor up & ask someone to scan their chip in the elevator to access the terrace. I visited on a Thursday. The crowd was nice, basically the same type of people you'd expect to see at Cathcart before 7 PM (no kids). The service was terrible. Our waitress was incompetent. We were the first to arrive, & no one bothered to take our order. I had to flag down a random employee to order drinks, which were served in plastic cups. They didn't even get the drinks right. We ordered 3 vodka martinis-1 dirty & 2 extra dirty. We received 3 extra dirty vodka martinis but I kept the drink anyway. The waitress would have known if she was there to take our order in the first place. 1 vodka martini = 18$ Their cocktail menu is lacking options & originality. The quantity of liquid in each drink was different, with one friend having noticeably less alcohol. I also had to flag down a random employee to order food as our waitress disappeared again. We all shared a burrata, which was outrageously priced at $27 for a very small portion. The bread that came with the burrata was not fresh & was hard to chew. The food menu consists of 5 options, but we were told they also serve sushi from upstairs. The sushi prices are literally Jatoba prices-about $40 for 7 pieces. If you want your establishment to be upscale, don't serve drinks in plastic cups. The DJ was fun & played really nice techno vibey music. There are couches & tables, & I suggest making a reservation for easier access. You can definitely order bottles, but they're not cheap. Overall, my experience was mediocre, although I had fun with my friends. I would most likely not return.
Very loud . The place is full of instagram influencers & no wonder it is trending on insta. View is great . However you should only go for the view . Will not be able to hear anything if you are there with others .
What a beautiful terrace with breathtaking views & ambiance. Comfy sofas, unique cocktails & great service, very classy place with a nice clientele & great music we recommend for sure !

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!
Do not come here. We made a reservation for Saturday evening, we arrived around 715. The service is super bad, people act like they are offended that u asked them for something & they take a while to reach your table for drinks. They forget to even give u menus & when u ask for them, they forget u asked for them. They have barely any food on the menu, plus they run out of the drinks. Prices are on the high end of high end for cocktails & are not even good. Nacarat has better prices & quality. The only positives are the music & the views. Around 8-9 the server came over asking us to pay our bills when some of us have just arrived & ask for the first drink. They told us that its going to rain & that they were closing because of that. We couldnt cancel the drinks we recently ordered & they didnt accomodate us inside.
I had to take the time to write this review. The ambiance, the service, the cocktails & wine selection, the spectacular views, the music Just perfect !!! Rose Orange..... Was a great bar terrasse experience, beer, cocktail, a few very well selected fine wines, appetizers, great music, heated terrasse with huge views of all Montreal in a good vibe atmosphere then 2nd stop Sora .... Exceptional interior amazing views all glass bar/restaurant with an original way to serve sushi, selected Sakes, cocktails & wines, again with surrounded fantastic views & great service mmmmm....Delicious, spicy & fresh!! Then to end the night Hiatus, you still have amazing views anywhere you sit ! HIATUS (means PAUSE in Latin, I asked) Fine cuisine with the perfect sides, wine selection, exceptional service, simply amazing ! WHAT A SURPRISING & EXCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE ! These 3 bar/restaurants really won us over. Great concept...We will return!
