Reviews describe Sans Soleil Bar as a vibrant, intimate venue with a speakeasy mood and a vinyl led DJ vibe that transitions from dinner to a late night dance floor, drawing praise for the warm atmosphere and attentive service. The food earns frequent high marks for quality and flavor, with favorites like sashimi, duck magret, and other carefully prepared dishes; some diners note that portions can be small and seating is snug when the room is crowded. Drinks are highlighted for craft and variety, including well made cocktails and a notable focus on Japanese influences, though a limited downstairs drink menu at times is mentioned. The staff and overall hospitality are repeatedly praised for friendliness, knowledge, and responsiveness, contributing to a sense of welcome even during busy periods. Taken together, Sans Soleil Bar is seen as a standout Montreal spot for those seeking a unique combination of excellent food, strong drinks, and a music driven atmosphere, with many fans planning return visits despite occasional organizational hiccups on crowded nights.
Decadent speak-easy with glamorous basement vibes, replete with DJ, vinyl, candle lit tables, & mysterious bourgeois style. Warm staff with can-do attitude & a twinkle in their eyes. House cocktails are whimsically elegant & happily bold. Couples & groups making music with their talk. Stumbled into the cool crowd.
Had a fabulous time at Sans Soleil with my friend last night. We tried getting a reservation at Fleurs & Cadeaux but we are so glad things happened the way they did because Sans Soleil was a much better vibe. There was a dj playing vinyl records & it was almost a speakeasy vibe. The food is incredible!! We will be coming here again for a meal in the future. 10/10 recommend
I have been going to Sans Soleil for years. It remains one of my favourite places. The team is always welcoming, the food is always very good, & the DJ sets make for memorable close to the night. Thank you, Sans Soleil.
Had a great time with a few friends, & had the best server, Gray. He was extremely attentive & funny, fitting into the vibe of our group & the overall intimate surrounding of the place. As an added bonus, the bottom floor turned into a dance floor around 22:00. Would go again & a highlight of our trip!
Sans Soliel.... phew where do I even begin. The ambiance was lively yet relaxed & made for one of the best outings I've had in a while! I suggest reserving a table with a few friends & working your way through their EXQUISITE food & drink offerings... the shashimi is a must! We had a very kind & knowledgeable server named Gray, who's presence was a welcome extension of the warmth Montreal has to offer even during such frigid temperatures. My experience would not have been the same without them! After 9:45 the space turned into a dance floor; PRO-V was the DJ the night we went & I loved the 90s hip-hop/ r&b vibes provided. Sans Soliel is definitely 10/10 & worth a visit!

What a delightful place & the food was absolutely amazing. My only small pickle is how small the tables & stools were. It was a bit snug with winter attire, but will worth it
Have been here many times to dance - is one of my favourite places for that. Recently tried the dining experience there & adored the food & ambiance. & the service was out of this world! Sometimes good cocktails are hard to find in mtl, but they are so tasty & complex here.
One of the best meals I've ever had!! Andi, our server, was beyond delightful & was super helpful with recommendations for both food & drink. She has INCREDIBLE taste & we enjoyed everything she recommended.
Sans Soleil is by far one of the best dinner & dance spots in all of Montreal! I'll be coming back soon. Thank you Andi for everything!
One of the best meals I've ever had & impeccable music & dancing vibes. Our waitress Andy was one of the best parts, she gave amazing recommendations on drinks & every dish she chose for our tasting menu was incredible. Will be coming back every time we're in Montreal.
