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.
Simply the best clubby bar in town! You're guaranteed to have a treat on any given night of the week: always great DJs (playing well curated selections on vinyl records only), one of the best custom sound systems in Montreal, cool people, & outstanding service from the fabulous staff. You can also order food from the iconic Fleurs & Cadeaux restaurant above, & they can serve you in the bar. Go early, it's hard to get in!
Très bonne place pour manger ou boire un verre !! Les plats sont très bons & le service est vraiment top ! Merci pour la petite attention & bravo au Dj sur vinyles ! On reviendra c'est sur 🕺🏽
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.
Had a fabulous time at Sans Soleil with my friend last night. We tried getting a reservation at Fleurs & Cadeaux but we are so glad things happened the way they did because Sans Soleil was a much better vibe. There was a dj playing vinyl records & it was almost a speakeasy vibe. The food is incredible!! We will be coming here again for a meal in the future. 10/10 recommend
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!

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.
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.

The food is good, the music is great (vinyl mix) but the staff RUINS it. They are super cold & rude, make you feel very unwanted. The signature cocktails sound cool but are not actually good, stick to classics.

I had a great night at Sans Soleil. I recently read a review complaining about waiting a long time in the rain to get in. We shared a similar experience to that. They could definitely find a solution to covering the waiting area with an awning or an overhang. It was super nice that the bar is free to get in to, which is getting more rare in Montreal. the atmosphere was great, people were dancing & smiling. The DJ was great, he started off with some funk & transitioned into some groovy house, with some nice vinyl scratching. The sound system was very impressive, it was a Klipsch system that I would love to know more about. It sounded amazing, with one complaint of the horns being right at ear level, causing a lot treble being heard & a lack of bass. A simple change of eq or a new subwoofer would solve the problem. The bar was ok, the service was nothing special but the drinks were great. It was very messy though, lots of spilled drinks & dirty glasses everywhere. Overall I had a great night, & with a couple of small fixes, I think Sans Soleil could be at the top of vinyl clubs in Montreal.
I took a trip from Toronto to mtl for a weekend in sept of 2023 & I was recommended to come here by a local & they did not disappoint. Great atmosphere, amazing music, vinyl record DJs !!! If you're not a fan of the jumpy sweaty loud clubs, this is the perfect spot!! The music was certainly the centre of attention. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try the food but the cocktails were great & priced very fair !! my friends & I had a great time & will definitely be coming back. Thank you to all the staff for a great experience!!
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.
