Sans Soleil is widely celebrated as an exceptional destination in Montreal, offering a unique blend of high-quality Japanese-inspired cuisine, expertly crafted cocktails, and a sophisticated atmosphere. Guests frequently praise the intimate, speakeasy-style setting that transforms from a cozy dining space into a vibrant dance club as the night progresses. The venue is particularly noted for its dedication to vinyl-only DJ sets and an impressive sound system that creates a memorable auditory experience. While some diners mention that the space can become crowded or snug due to its popularity, the attentive service and consistently flavorful food—such as the sashimi, duck, and fried chicken—make it a must-visit spot. Overall, it is highly regarded for its cool, welcoming vibe and remains a favorite for those seeking both a top-tier meal and a refined late-night dancing experience.
The food & service at Sans Soleil were both fantastic! Standout dishes were the tuna sashimi, udon noodles, duck breast & fried chicken. Service was attentive & friendly, cocktails were delicious & sake menu is extensive.
everything about this place…10/10! my boyfriend took me here for my birthday & everything was absolutely phenomenal!!!! From the food, the ambiance, the service (shoutout Tom, who was the literal BEST!) & everything else in between. I love it here.
my biggest food recommendations are the Sashimi, Duck & tartare + their cocktails of course.
Ambiance très cozy, la musique est vraiment goovy c'est agréable. Nous avons pris le bol de sashimi avec le riz en dessous & tout était très frais. Le poulet était super bon!! Par contre, nous avions commandé les udons & avons reçu les ramens à la place (petite erreur du serveur), mais nous avons décidé de le garder, car nous étions curieux autant d'y gouter. Un peu déçu, ce n'est pas un goût qui plait à tous. Je trouvais que c'était un peu lourd & qu'après quelques bouchées on se tannait. Bref peut-être juste des goûts auxquels nous étions pas habitués, mais pas un plat que je reprendrais personnellement.
une belle expérience au Sans Soleil. ca faisait un moment que je voulais y aller. les cocktails étaient bons, le nourriture excellente ! J'ai été impressionnée par les sashimi qui font partis des meilleurs que j'ai mangé à Montréal ! La musique est sympa & le service agréable. Un bel endroit !
Very cool speakeasy- attentive servers & food was extraordinary! Every single dish we ordered had such unique flavours & the quality of the sashimi was exceptional. Really enjoyed the vibe- the music in the background was very chill & the lighting was appropriately dim. Highly recommend!
Booked the Sans Soleil bar for a 6:30 dinner to be able to enjoy the DJ that begins playing at 8pm. To clarify, their food menu is from Fleurs & cadeaux which was absolutely phenomenal - their sashimi selection is to die for as it is so fresh. They have this delicious 2yr aged soya sauce which is also provided for the sashimi. We also ordered the uni chips & dip, the marinated veggies & the peanut sauce udon. The service was generally pretty great but it took over 45 minutes for our last dish (we think the kitchen forgot our final dish which is why service was so slow in the end). All in all, would love to return again for this delightful supper club located below the eclectic pink restaurant! They also had a fun vending machine filled with beers & sakes which is meant to mimic all the fun vending machines japan is known for!
Quel bel endroit, un petit bar bien caché. Le choix de boissons est très bien, lcocktails, bières, vin & saké. La nourriture excellente, j'aurais aimé goûter à tout, mais ma limite a vite été atteinte avec quelques de plats partagés. Le sashimi de saumon, ouaaa le bonheur avec la petite sauce soya vieillie. Andrée-Anne a fait un excellent service & bien répondu à nos questions. Malheureusement la soirée s'est terminée rapidement avec une panne électrique. Nous avons eu droit à une facture fait à la main. Quelle expérience. À notre sortie, il y avait plusieurs camions de pompier, ce qui a dû déclencher le manque d'électricité. Nous voyons y retourner.
The food, vibe, music & attention to detail was fantastic. Melt in your mouth sashimi, tasty duck, pork belly & udon. Ask for a sake pairing & try something earthy & fun. Great recommendations from our server on their sake. Mind blowing flavours. Great experience.
