Sabrosa is described as a lively, well located spot in Old Montreal offering Mexican and Latin street food with a warm, festive vibe and a pleasant outdoor terrace. The reviews praise freshness and flavor across the menu, with standout dishes including birria tacos, Al Pastor tacos, fish and shrimp tacos, ceviche, guacamole, papaya salad, and corn on the cob, along with house hot sauces and generous portions; drinks are generally tasty though not always standout, and some guests find them decent value for the location. Service is often noted as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with some servers earning special praise, while a few visits mention slower service during busy times or occasional inconsistencies in execution. The atmosphere, decor, and opportunity for people watching are repeatedly highlighted as positives, making Sabrosa feel like a go to option for a relaxed lunch or dinner; a few comments point to a touristy vibe and price considerations, but overall the place is viewed as a solid choice with high memories of flavor and a lively setting.
Hismaelle... que dire de cet humain qui est tout bonnement indélectible. Je n'ai rarement vu un serveur aussi talentueux & rayonnant. Je venais de me faire quitter par ma femme & perdre mon hamster il y a 3 jours mais grâce à lui j'ai réussi à remonter la pente. Il a su en fonction de ma situation me proposer un cocktail adéquat qui m'a fait me dire que ce n'était pas si grave que ma femme me trompe avec son oncle. Vraiment je recommande à tous ! & merci infiniment à Hismaelle.
Super expérience , les cocktails sont à tomber par terre ! La barman Yanis est génial ainsi que Ismael le serveur , ils m'ont fait passer une excellente soirée malgré que je sois venue tout seul ! Je recommande

Beau restaurant & terrasse agréable. Plats hit or miss. Tacos Birria un must, tacos al Pastor très fade, tacos poisson & poulet frit boff. Service des cocktails très long, nos plats sont arrivés 5-10 min avant.
Best mocktail I have had & decent strength cocktails. Every dish is flavourful. Orange cake yum! Not expensive for what you get. One of my favourite places in Old Port.
Nous avons passé un super moment au Sabrosa. Kevin était au petit soin pour nous ainsi que son collègue Carlito. Le cevice de crevette ainsi que la salade de papaye sont à goûter, cocktails délicieux 👌🏼 Merci pour ce superbe moment.

Price for quantity ❌ Flavour ❌ Drinks ❌ Instagram friendly ✅ This place looks really nice, but the food doesn't taste as good as it looks. Even though the dishes are pretty, they're just okay in flavor. I tried the express menu, but it didn't fill me up. The cocktails were tasty, but they had too much ice & not enough drink. The guacamole was way too expensive for the little bit they gave you. They gave you more chips than guacamole, which was disappointing. Compared to other places in Montreal, they don't give you few guacamole here.
We popped in for cocktails & it was such an excellent experience. The bartenders were so friendly & really made some delicious creations. The margaritas & the insanely boozy Chávez cocktail were 🏆
Je ne laisse pas souvent des commentaires sur les restaurants car la plupart du temps l'expérience est sympa mais sans plus. Souvent la hype des endroits branchés se fait au détriment de la qualité des plats. Nous y avions été un lundi, un peu par hasard car il n'y a pas beaucoup de restaurants ouverts les lundi. Sabrosa se distingue des autres places que j'ai visitées a Montreal surtout par la qualité de sa cuisine. Étonnant vu sa situation dans l'hyper-centre touristique. Nous étions 2 & avons pris salade de papaye, salade sabrosa, les deux ne sont pas boring, & on sent que les produits frais travaillés sont de bonne qualité. Puis Tacos Birria & vegan tacos. Je n'ai pas visité tous les restaurants a Tacos de la ville mais pour moi ce sont les meilleurs. Nous avons pris du vin au verre, & POUR UNE FOIS, je n'ai pas été déçue. La carte des vins est diversifiée, next time ca sera la bouteille, je suis sure de trouver un excellent rapport qualité prix. Le restaurant a une super vibe, musique bossa nova, pour une ambiance cozy & tamisée, parfaite pour un lundi. Je me suis surprise a shazamer deux trois fois. Bref on sent qu'on a affaire a des passionnés & a du très bon boulot. Hâte d'y retourner, en terrasse cette fois, quand elle aura ouvert. Vu ma bonne première impression, je suis curieuse de découvrir leurs cocktails. Bref une excellente surprise. Hasta la vista.

Edit: 2nd time back here & the service & food is still great! Wonderful place to come with friends :) really cool atmosphere & fantastic service - the food was outstanding! would recommend to anyone looking for small plates & cocktails
Deux expériences très réussies, une cuisine savoureuse & parfaite à partager. Les cocktails sont équilibrées, les tacos (boeuf braisé 🤩) sont délicieux. Service agréable & discret. Je recommande !
Went to Sabrosa for lunch today with my wife, son & his girl. What a great place! We started with calamari, two orders in fact. The best calamari we have had in a while & we get it everywhere we go. We got fish tacos, fried chicken tacos & my wife got the whole fish. Everything we got was fanatastic! Even the homemade sauces were amazing. A few people had complained about the prices. I disagree. For the quality of the food & service & the location I think it's right in line. Oh & the cocktails were excellent too.
I came here for MTL à table & we ordered the whole menu so we could try everything - every single dish was a 10/10! So so good, they didn't miss once. My faves were the chimichurri appetizer, fish main & cheesecake dessert. The cocktails were delicious too. I can't wait to go back!
I recently visited a Mexican restaurant that had an amazing cocktail called "Como la flor". It was made with white rum, coconut rum, lavanda & lime, & it tasted great! The green papaya salad was also very tasty, & the shrimp ceviche was delicious & full of flavor. The staff were extremely friendly & helpful. All in all, I had a great experience at this restaurant & I would definitely recommend it to others.
