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.
Dans l'ensemble, les avis convergent vers une expérience chaleureuse et festive dans un cadre intime où l'atmosphère vinyle et DJ crée une ambiance speakeasy propice à la danse après le dîner. La nourriture et les boissons sont régulièrement décrites comme délicieuses et soignées, avec des plats variés et des cocktails complexes, parfois inspirés du japonais et du saké. Le service est largement salué pour son accueil, son professionnalisme et sa connaissance du menu, même lorsque le lieu se remplit et que l'espace devient plus serré. Le lieu reste petit et peut devenir très fréquenté, avec des tables et des tabourets serrés et, parfois, des temps d'attente ou une organisation à améliorer, notamment entre les espaces haut et bas et la cohérence des menus. Malgré ces petits bémols, Sans Soleil est souvent cité comme l'un des meilleurs spots de Montréal pour manger, boire et danser, une adresse à revenir régulièrement pour l'ambiance, la musique et la qualité des plats.
extremely good vibes, a place where people actually want to dance & enjoy themselves instead of standing around on there phone. Definitely get there early as the line is long

une belle expérience au Sans Soleil. ca faisait un moment que je voulais y aller. les cocktails étaient bons, le nourriture excellente ! J'ai été impressionnée par les sashimi qui font partis des meilleurs que j'ai mangé à Montréal ! La musique est sympa & le service agréable. Un bel endroit !
Best place we've been to in Montreal. Great bar & food then if you want, the venue turns into a club circa 11pm. 2nd visit & it's exactly what we were after for entertaining family post dinner. We went for 7.45 booking. Sat at the bar last time. Can't recommend enough.
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!
Super nice vibes & nice people. The waiter explain the whole menu to us & gave us amazing recommendation. Went to get desserts & drink for a birthday & got offered a brownie with candles! Would definitely go back for the food next time.
We had the pleasure of dining here a few weekends ago & wanted to share our appreciation for the outstanding service provided by the team, especially in comparison to a prior visit where the service didn't quite meet expectations.
From the moment we arrived, Pablo stood out with his attentiveness & professionalism. Although we were initially seated on the main floor & expressed dissatisfaction with our table, Pablo went above & beyond to accommodate us-personally arranging for us to be seated downstairs, an area he was previously familiar with. His initiative & dedication made a lasting impression.
Throughout the evening, the coordination among the team-including Jemma, Megane, Grey, & Cam-was truly commendable. The seamless delivery of dishes & the way they collaborated to ensure a smooth & enjoyable dining experience did not go unnoticed.
Thanks to the excellent service & warm hospitality, Sans Soleil has become a spot we confidently recommend to others. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience.
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.
Awesome atmosphere. Speakeasy style record lounge & dinner spot. I will def visit next time I'm in Montreal. Vegetarian options for dinner were a little lackluster. Left me kind of hungry.
