Review Summary

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.

We left around 10:30/11:00 as the ambiance wasn't great. Typically, when the tables are removed, the party starts... it just didn't last night, kinda disappointing. I hope the transition from dinner to dancing is faster/smoother next time.

Sans Soleil is an absolute standout for food & cocktails in Montreal. Tucked away in a tiny space, this charming speakeasy is an adventure to find but well worth the effort. While it seems to be a popular nightlife spot for dancing & music, the real stars are the inventive dishes & expertly crafted cocktails.

My new wife & I visited Sans Soleil while honeymooning in Montreal. The lovely & passionate server Lily guided us through the menu, explaining each item with such attention to detail. We were blown away by the quality & unique fusion of French & Asian flavors, especially at these reasonable prices. The sashimi was incredibly fresh & converted me into a raw fish fan. The duck sashimi style was a revelation - if you've never tried it, you must.

Every dish was meant for sharing & arrived one after another in a progression of flavors. Subtle, complex tastes were artfully arranged in ways I didn't expect from this unassuming spot. Lily delighted in making recommendations, practically ordering for us after hearing what we liked.

The cocktails were just as strong, flavorful & inventive as the food. Each one came with an unexpected twist. The music & dance floor didn't appeal to us that night, but some regulars mentioned it was an odd night for the usual scene.

Make sure Sans Soleil is on your Montreal bar crawl list. This soulful hidden gem delivers an absolutely memorable food & cocktail experience worth savoring.

I would give 6 stars if I could! This is a small hidden bar in the basement of the Fleurs & Cadeaux restaurant. They share the same extraordinary food menu. The pasta & the duck were just so delicious, I've never had anything like that. Every bite was just so amazing. The staff is super sweet & the service is really good. They have a great list of wines & super nice cocktails, as well as a few drafts. They have live DJ which starts a bit later, & at some point they remove the table to allow people to dance. It's an experience that truly worth it.

Não há placa do bar. Você entra na porta central da loja Fleur & Cadeaux (n. 1002), passa pelo meio de um restaurante, desce as escadas em direção aos toaletes, e a entrada do bar está no subsolo. Reservas são recomendadas, pois o espaço é pequeno e movimentado. Muitas
opções de vinhos, saquês. Bom cardápio de comida japonesa. Bom atendimento. Provamos o drink Kohi, à base de café. Gostamos também das sobremesas: castella cake e creme caramel matcha. O sistema de som é excelente, assim como a seleção musical e a escolha dos DJs que tocam por lá.
