What an incredibly unique spot to enjoy a very special experience! Loved it all!! Delicious & carefully crafted plates, gorgeous cocktails, superb service & groovy tunes. They share the same kitchen as the restaurant upstairs, but the small tables & cozy atmosphere downstairs cannot be beat. Highly recommend!

Upstairs: Stylish & upscale Japanese cuisine with high-quality ingredients & some great flavours. That said, the prices are very steep - both food & drinks are expensive. There's a wide selection of sake & wine, but oddly only one beer option, priced at $18 for a 330ml bottle. Portions are quite small, & service was incredibly slow; it took nearly two hours for three small dishes. Service was typical for Montreal - not much warmth or enthusiasm. The host at the door (tall guy) seemed annoyed to see customers arriving & barely acknowledged us. On the plus side, once we voiced our concerns about the delay, our server was very understanding, expedited the next dish, & offered a discount, which was appreciated.

Downstairs: Much better vibes. Intimate atmosphere with a great sound system & all-vinyl sets every night. The drink menu was more varied, including a few reasonably priced Boreal beer options. A good spot for drinks & music.

We had the pleasure of dining here a few weekends ago & wanted to share our appreciation for the outstanding service provided by the team, especially in comparison to a prior visit where the service didn't quite meet expectations.

From the moment we arrived, Pablo stood out with his attentiveness & professionalism. Although we were initially seated on the main floor & expressed dissatisfaction with our table, Pablo went above & beyond to accommodate us-personally arranging for us to be seated downstairs, an area he was previously familiar with. His initiative & dedication made a lasting impression.

Throughout the evening, the coordination among the team-including Jemma, Megane, Grey, & Cam-was truly commendable. The seamless delivery of dishes & the way they collaborated to ensure a smooth & enjoyable dining experience did not go unnoticed.

Thanks to the excellent service & warm hospitality, Sans Soleil has become a spot we confidently recommend to others. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience.

This is a great spot & I have eaten here often with much pleasure but things have changed--something I wish had been made clear on the website. Previously, same menu upstairs at Fleurs & Cadeaux & downstairs at Sans Soleil. No longer. I came for a special sake & some fave dishes which are no longer available downstairs. While they still share a kitchen, it seems the two venues are now being made more distinct from each other. I prefer the upstairs menu & seating style so won't be visiting downstairs again. Note that much seating is on backless stools--my friend & I tried to sit side by side so that we should both have back support but were not permitted as it would crowd the next table. We each had a drink & left (after asking for my fave sake to be brought downstairs) so I don't know how to rate this venue now. Great for people with strong backs who enjoy the music-forward vibe. I'm sure the food & drink will be excellent but it may not so comfortable for people who want a quieter space for conversation & need seating with a back.

Was in town for a business trip with a colleague & decided to check out the speakeasy downstairs for a drink last Thursday.

I've been to the restaurant a year prior & had a great experience. Amazing service & music. The atmosphere was a refreshing change!

We were mainly at the bar & was served by a young Black woman (sorry forgot her name). She greeted us with a wonderful smile & amazing cocktails. She was diligent & made sure we were having a good time throughout.

If you're seeking a top-notch speakeasy experience with outstanding service, Sans Soleil is a must-visit. Can't wait to return to this gem soon!!

One of my fave restaurants in Montreal. The food is incredibly good & fresh, the set up , decor & ambiance is super cool, without trying too hard, the downstairs bar is tasteful, mature & the DJs that play are lowkey & good nothing pretentious. The noodles & bowl of rice with sashimi on top are to die for. My boyfriend & I brought friends there last night & we're already trying to rsvp for this Friday with another set of friends to get them to share our resto "discovery ".
