Sans Soleil est un bar du Quartier Chinois situé au sous-sol du resto japonais Fleurs & Cadeaux. Nous offrons les classique du menu de Fleurs et Cadeaux, cocktails, vins et sakés, dans une ambiance musicale recherchée, sur vinyle seulement.
Sans Soleil Bar propose une ambiance chaleureuse et intime de type speakeasy avec des sets vinyle qui passent du dîner à la danse, une carte saluée pour des sashimis frais, le tartare de canard et des cocktails créatifs, et un service globalement attentif qui contribue à des soirées mémorables. Quelques retours signalent des tables petites, quelques ratés en cuisine et une certaine variabilité entre l'étage et le sous-sol, mais l'impression générale est celle d'un lieu remarquable pour bien manger, boire et profiter d'une ambiance animée et conviviale.
Amazing experience at Sans Soleil! The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was flavorful, fresh, & beautifully presented. The atmosphere is such a vibe, especially with the live DJ creating a fun & energetic ambiance without being too overwhelming. Perfect place for a night out with friends or a date night. The cocktails, music, & overall service made the evening even better. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Montreal & I can't wait to go back!
Had an incredible meal in a beautiful room with the best music. If you visit MTL, Sans Soleil is a must. Ask for Lucy, her service was perfect from start to finish & we will definitely be coming back!
It's absolutely the tiniest nightclub. We waited hours in line, expecting something amazing instead found a dingy barely decorated hovel so small we couldn't even move to dance. Music wasn't good
i know this rating is harsh but trust me when i say it hurts to say this. i'm writing this review really as a plea that i hope will reach management. sans soleil is the only club i know of that i can go to on any night of the week, without ever checking who's mixing & rest assured the music will be immaculate. if you take away anything from this review, let it be that while the venue itself is a 3/5, the music, sound system & the CURATION & STANDARD of music is a 3/3.
that being said, i think this is one club that could seriously benefit from a stricter set of house rules that most clubs in bigger cities have:
1. no phones on the dance floor
2. please leave the dance floor to those who actually want to dance. ie: the dancefloor is just for dancing, not chatting, not standing still... especially at the front of the booth.
i can always understand lacking space when everybody's having fun, but what instantly kills the mood is to not have enough space to dance when 40% of the dance floor are people who are standing still. all this while the backroom, a space seemingly designed to host conversation... is empty. we all know the space is small & intimate, but i do think there is room for everyone to enjoy themselves & be respectful of the music & eachothers' space.
maybe that room could benefit from a louder sound system & slightly dimmer lits for the shyer folks of the club?
we come to sans soleil to dance! let the people dance!
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.

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.
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.
My husband & I had such a great time here. Our visit was short but we really enjoyed the music, the drinks & food. The vibe is unmatched. Perfect place to have a casual chat & with your loved ones & friends.
A space for all the senses, sounds of the underground & supreme service. Sans Soleil has everything under the sun for true music lovers, artists, the heads, the curious, locals & visitors alike. Had a beautiful Saturday night sojourn here that began with an amazing meal. We had the Onsen Tamago (perfect egg in a truffle infused broth), Legume Ohitashi (vegetable of the day was eggplant), Albacore tuna tataki & the delicious fried chicken dish. The Yune cocktail was a yuzu-infused take on the negroni -divine! - & Sake Paloma was bright & refreshing. Service was excellent - super big shout out to Andie for their amazing hospitality, kindness & menu suggestions (the team here knows a lot!), & Alex at the bar for awesome libations. We tried the special soy ice cream dessert -umami, sweet, savoury goodness! Not enough photos, was too immersed in the experience. Stick around for dancing & top shelf tunes curated & spun by guest & resident selectors. As a DJ myself, I'd be a regular here if I lived in Montreal.
A bit too much narrative from the bouncer before we were allowed in, a bit too much fog inside, a bit too much tired 80s music from the DJ, & a bit too much harassment from a drunk local patron (not the venue's fault).
The venue has potential, but we left early due to the factors listed above.
The drinks were fine, but the lighting was so dim it was difficult to read the menu & appreciate the work the bartender put into the drinks.
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.

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!
Got a table at the bar last minute. Had the BEST bartender walk us through the food & sake. Shared stories of Japan. We asked for some teaching on how to eat traditionally. He was so genuine & took this experience beyond anything we have had in the past. The food & the vibe & the music (dj) was wonderful but his personality & time is something we will talk about for a long time. The club vibe after dinner was also really great. Music dancing food team 10 out of 10.
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.
Most fantastic & delicious dinner. Such a great spot with amazing vibes. The music was spot on & the service was top notch. Great recommendations & tasty food!
