Restaurante de 10. Está en una de las calles principales. Nos cogieron rapidísimo y aunque no tuvimos que esperar nada sin reserva, había muchísimo ambiente.
Los tacos de gambas y pollo muy ricos. Además, pedimos el ceviche y nos encantó.
Los camareros eran todos muy jóvenes y muy amables todos.
De precio estuvo bastante bien.
Lo recomiendo mucho
TLDR; Excellent food quality, service & ambiance. Worth the wait (if any), don't be fooled by the touristic area! Jade was a fantastic server, always timely & on point & asking the right questions & provided excellent service. Chef Felipe, mucho gracias! Him & his team fully knocked it out of the park, excellent ceviche, enchiladas, birria & drinks! Definitely will be back
Near Maison Rasco, at the heart of Old Montreal, Sabrosa offers tasty south american leaning seafood oriented fare at reasonable prices. The quality & taste exceed nearby tourist attractions by a huge margin. I was especially disappointed at the'garden lounge' across the street. We ordered Ceviche, Tuna something, beans & rice, & fish tacos, which came with a gluten free corn option by default. Everything was quite tasty. I highly recommend this place if you are here from elsewhere, & staying nearby, or local.
Food was great at Sabrosa. The shrimp ceviche had a nice touch with coconut milk. Service was good, but the food came out slow. Right in the heart of Old Port
We had the Tacos El Pastor, shrimp ceviche, & guacamole. There are 3 tacos to the plate which is not good value for the price & very oily. The shimp ceviche had maybe 4 or 5 shrimp cut up into pieces. The guacamole was also very small for the price. It was $90 for the 3 dishes & 2 lemonades. The lemonade was very watered down. I would not recommend going here.
The tables are so close together the table beside us was about 12' apart. It was like we were dining with the people beside us.
We didn't get cutlery, nor did the table beside us. The server noticed we didn't have cutlery & commented, but never brought us cutlery. We managed to get someone else to bring us cutlery.
Obviously the people who give this place good ratings have no understanding of really good Latin American food. The tacos we ate were greasy & strange at best. My wife's order of ceviche had about five & a half shrimp. The staff unfortunately seemed untrained. I don't blame the staff. I see this as a management problem in the open-air concept was acceptable but too crowded.
My husband & I went to Montreal for our anniversary. We decided to try this restaurant one night for dinner. The ceviche i must say was the best I've ever had & I've had ceviche in Belize & several Carribean islands! We should have ordered two! Delicious!
Food was really good! Service was a little slow, but we were a large party so it was understandable. I definitely recommend the ceviche, the dressing was amazing. The guacamole was very fresh & flavorful too. I had the fried chicken tacos & they were absolutely delicious. The margaritas were also really good. Overall, a great experience & I would definitely go back!
An absolute gem in the heart of Old Montreal!
Sabrosa completely blew us away from the moment we walked in. Tucked inside a stunning historic stone building on Place Jacques-Cartier, the atmosphere alone is worth the visit - it somehow manages to feel vibrant & lively while still being warm & intimate. You can genuinely sense the soul of Mexico City, Lima, & Buenos Aires all woven together under one roof.
But let's talk about the food, because wow. The menu is a love letter to Latin America, & every dish reflects that passion. The ceviche was bright, citrusy, & absolutely fresh - easily the best I've had in Montreal. The birria tacos were rich & deeply flavored, & the nikkei-inspired touches throughout the menu added such a creative, unexpected dimension. Everything is clearly made with real technique & intention, not just thrown together.
The cocktail list deserves its own shoutout - the mezcal & tequila selection is impressive, & the bartenders clearly know what they're doing.
Service was warm, attentive, & genuinely enthusiastic about the food - exactly what you want. Our server walked us through the menu with real knowledge & care.
Whether you're coming for a date night, a group dinner, or just because you deserve something spectacular - Sabrosa delivers every time. Already planning our next visit. ¡Sabrosa indeed!
