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.
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.
Très belle découverte ! Le magret de canard est tout simplement incroyable! Endroit parfait pour prendre un cocktail recherché & bien dosé. La transition vers la soirée DJ est particulièrement impressionnant!
first spot upon arriving in Montreal - the DJ set & vibes were unreal! quite small venue however staff were all super polite & helpful! will deffo come back when I can
Really great but too much fog! They just need to handle the fog. & the deejay…John Kong…one of the best set lists I've heard in a while, but the Gen Z crowd is definitely unworthy of that. What do they know about music?! Get John to deejay at a Gen X / Millennials party please….all that amazing music gone to waste on a bunch of zombies who move their bodies like bots.

Excellente place pour bien manger & faire la fête de manière très chill & décontractée. La musique est excellente, surtout les Dj vinyles pendant le souper. C'était parfait comme soirée!

Un super endroit où sortir danser. La musique est excellente, le système de son est parfait & les employés sont très sympathiques, ce qui est rare pour une boîte de nuit.
Nous sommes venus en groupe, super belle soirée passée au Sans soleil. Le repas était délicieux, l'ambiance top. Il y a eu quelques petites erreurs dans le nombre de plats & nous n'avons pas eu le dessert qui était prévu. Peut-être quelques ajustements à faire côté organisation mais mise à part ça, je recommande!
Went on a Wednesday & a Saturday. Wednesday was way more fun because more room to dance & not as crowded plus the crowd was way better felt like pros vs amateurs. This place spins strictly vinyl & bartenders really take their time craft the drinks on Wednesday. Bartender spent like 10 minutes on my drinks on Wednesday night.
