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.
I haven't been to a club in a long time & I loved the music & vibes this much. I had a great time price wasn't crazy as far as drinks go it was on par. DJ was great & no flash photography!
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.
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.
Cute speakeasy tucked under a restaurant. This building has been in Chinatown ever since I could remember & the previous business owner (maybe building owner? I think Mr Wong) of the gift shop still lives upstairs!
The sound quality was incredible, I think 4 speakers around the room, they had a decibel reader for the DJs to look at throughout the night. We got there around 8pm to eat & chat & grab a drink & even thought it was full, you could easily hear yourself & it wasn't loud. There is good sound absorption & I'm quite sensitive to sound & was happy. The DJs actually spin on vinyl as well it was a whole vibe.
We got some food which was good to great. Attention to the toppings was 👌
Maiden tartare: good, wish there was more fish
marinated veggie: little palette cleanser
Crispy soft tofu: real tasty & satisfying, so good (though wasn't crispy at all even at the non soaked in sauce part)
cold ramen: my least favorite of the bunch, too salty & lemon forward, was okay, meat in it was good
Service was friendly but could have been more attentive. We had to always ask for more water, it wasn't refilled otherwise. A chopstick fell & one of us couldn't eat & asked for a new one the waitress forgot & we had to ask again after a while had passed.
Then after 10pm the chairs & tables get taken away & it becomes more dancy, the music wildly ranges tho depending on what the DJ wants to play. The music wasn't one I'd dance to yesterday but I enjoyed listening to it. We stayed in the back room to sit & chat while the main room got packed.
Would go back. Great for a small group or date!
Reservations recommended.

Our server was very knowledgeable & super helpful. She took the time to go through each menu item & describe them in detail as well as noting a few of her personal favourites. She also made us choose the right choice of cocktails based on the food we ordered; ensuring we have the best experience possible. Food was insanely good & the environment for our 7PM reservation was perfect. Travelled back in time with record playing music. Great experience, would come back next time in Montreal.
one of my favourite places in Montreal. excellent food & the programmation musicale is on point. bravo. good crowd where everyone is welcome. thank you to the team that makes this happen.
Excellent saké cocktails. We also appreciated the server explaining the different saké types & letting us try samples. The miso aged duck was sooo tasty. Chirashi bowl was good but a little pricey given the portions. Loved the music, the vibe, the cosy ambiance, & the fact that the music wasn't too loud & we could carry on a conversation without yelling over the volume. Thank you for a lovely night.
