Salle Climatisée stands out for its intimate, cozy atmosphere and warm, attentive service, while offering a constantly evolving menu that highlights seasonal produce and inventive flavor combinations. Dishes are frequently praised for precise execution, from leeks with sunflower seed sauces and a standout beef tartare to halibut, pork with chasseur sauce, and the decadent carrot pudding. The experience at the counter with an open kitchen is described as a dinner and a show, with wine and cocktails that complement the plates. The wine list is thoughtful and the staff are noted for care and knowledge, though the restaurant's small footprint means reservations are essential and the room can be lively or a touch loud. While the price point is often described as high, many feel the value is justified by the quality, and a few visits may not deliver a perfect wow on every dish. Overall, Salle Climatisée is repeatedly described as a gem in Montreal, offering memorable meals, friendly hosts, and a sense of home that brings guests back to explore the ever changing menu.
Excellent food & service. Menu changes often based on local availability. Pictured here is a snow crab & radish salad, cucumber salad, halibut, & chicken. We will definitely be back. It's a small restaurant so try to book in advance if it's a weekend! The chefs & the servers were great.

Great experience-felt like a friend was hosting us for a cozy dinner filled with delicious food.
The service was genuinely warm & attentive, which, to me, is what makes a place stand out & makes you want to come back just to relive it all over again.
We shared all the dishes family-style, & each one had something unique to offer. My favorites were definitely the beef tartare & the fish-both were packed with flavor & beautifully done.
Been many times, always incredible. Summer menu is perfection. I think about those tomatoes often. I think it might be my favourite restaurant in the world.
5 stars on everything. The service was fantastic (thanks for the shot of Amaro at the end of the meal, chef!). The food was creative & delicious. The wine choices excellent & the vibe immaculate. Don't leave without trying the pork & the sticky carrot pudding.
Wow, expectations were high from all the positive coverage but we enjoyed our first experience even more than we could have imagined! Everything was perfect. Warm, attentive service. Great wine recommendation. Each dish was simple but creative, unusual & really flavorful. The leeks in vinaigrette are a revelation. Sticky pudding possibly the best ever, & we've tried a lot! Tiny but intimate space, can't wait to go back. (Not your spot if you like to start your evening with a beer, though. Only one, a bottled import, available. Not really any cocktails or digestifs either. But a vast by-the-glass wine selection ($15-$20 per generous pour) is curated to the menu to make up for this)
Salle Climatisee coaxes incredible flavor from the simplest ingredients. I've had great tartare, pork chops, & char, & their vegetables really shine. The wine list is excellent - focused on natural wines while being very approachable, & they put a lot of thought into helping you make a selection. Most of all, the entire crew is awesome, & the service & vibe are sublime. There isn't another restaurant I'd rather dine in.

Had a fantastic time both times I've been here. The food is amazing, & everyone who works there was so friendly & cool! I think my favorite dishes are the vegetables - had wonderful cabbage, parsnips & leeks last time. This place is a gem!
Nice restaurant. BUT if go too late, they can give the shitty piece of meat. 90 % fat & 10% meat. I know that the lamb can be fat, but not that Much & at that Price. Be real !
Great service & wine recommendations. Beef tartare was amazing. Cabbage was the best cabbage I've ever had, really the ideal way to cook it. Chicken & clams was good, mostly because of the broth. I didn't feel like the gigantes beans added anything. The carrot cake sticky toffee pudding hybrid had this weird salty buttery taste to it that wasn't the best. The gentiane spritz recommended as a starter was refreshing.
Tiny little place. Bar seats are fantastic, you get to watch the 3-man show that is the kitchen. Every dish served up was incredible & thoughtful; we picked two & took two suggestions. Portions were more than reasonable - we were almost too full for dessert, but very glad that we didn't opt out! Service is kind, generous with bread, quick - everything was perfection. $70pp pre-tip.
Best restaurant in Montreal. Very candid environment with good quality simple ingredients. I have been stopping by here every time I visit Montreal. Food: incredible, we got the beef tongue, mushrooms, beef tartare, beet salad & sticky pudding Atmosphere: candid & homely Service: very good
Second time dining here & even better than I could have remembered. Just let the staff take the wheel & order for you & you'll have an incredible night :)
My wife & I had a fantastic experience at Salle Climatisée for dinner. We did the tasting menu with wine pairings. It was six courses in all. Our server, Brenden, was an amazing host through the tasting. He was enthusiastic about the food, helpful for the wines, & overall engaging. Would without a doubt recommend this place to anyone who would like a great way to spend an evening.
WOW. Best meal I've had this year! Me & my wife split 4 dishes which came out to around 150$ - absolute perfection start to finish. Service was spot on. Great wine selection. Dishes were minimalist but FULL of flavor & seasoned to perfection. Can't wait to go back! If you go this month try the tartare, the Corn, the Pork, & FOR SURE the blueberry dessert!!!
