Great experience with the bartender & executive chef, Rob. We had the shrimp & scallop ceviche, slaw, & oysters. We loved all of it! Chef Rob has created a wonderful menu & was so welcoming & had lots of funny stories. Everything from our seats to the food to the staff was perfect. Highly recommend!

My husband & I had the pleasure of eating here for a late lunch. The staff was phenomenal, the executive chef Rob was so enthusiastic & created some beautiful & mouthwatering dishes that he took the time to explain to us. We had the oysters, slaw, & shrimp & scallops ceviche. The slaw was great & the ceviche was fresh & light & not fishy. I highly recommend anyone visiting Seasalt for some great seafood & a few laughs from the bartender & chef!

This place has $1 Oysters 3-6pm EVERYDAY.... I was searching for 3 hours to find Oysters on a random sunny Monday, & Google blessed me with this find. I caught the tail end of buck-a-shuck. The East Coast Oysters were to die for, & the house made yuzu & jalapeno minionettes/accompaniments were awesome. It's in a beautiful, must be like 300ish year old building with exposed stone & time period accents. It is right on Rue Commune & Place Royal. The outside patio is spacious & has great views. Also, if you're lucky, the head chef may be the one who is shucking oysters at the bar right in front of you!

5 out of 5 for Seasalt! Between Chef Rob & the rest of the incredible staff treating everyone like royalty, this is a must visit restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was phenomenal, the location is stunning. Even the other guests were a pleasure. Not to mention even though we had a large group the staff didn't miss a beat. Seasalt is the main reason I will be coming back to Montreal!

What an incredible experience. If you don't know chef Rob, introduce yourself, I promise you won't regret it. Food, staff & atmosphere are top notch. 16 of us were treated like kings. The music & servers were fun as can be. Will talk about this spot forever.

We were in Montreal for the weekend & saw a happy hour sign - oysters $1 - we went in & it was great. The chef himself was shucking oysters & making drinks. We sat at the bar & got to know him & his staff. The ambience was super chill & very friendly. We'll be back for sure ⭐.

Great spot in the old port, & even better with their summer terrasse. Love the food! P.S.: If you have the pleasure to meet the chef, he's a great host & very professional. Highly recommend! :)

Held a very important work event last night. Food was outstanding, vibe was awesome, staff were amazing. Kudos to executive chef Rob Leonard who was a charm to deal with from the get go, GM Enrik who was so accommodating, & Maika who worked her butt off serving dinner for 14 & then canapés for 35. Prices were totally reasonable as well! Presentation of the food was also beautiful! I will definitely return when I go back to Montreal. Many thanks for making me good. Love you guys!

Such a pleasure to visit this restaurant. In the heart of old port with a scenic Terrasse & even better food. Seems like a revamped menu & boy is it good, altogether happy I came back to see what the new menu was all about. Definitely recommend if you're near old Montreal. It was a great experience. We even got a visit from the chef Rob.

We had a fabulous evening at this lovely restaurant. They went out of their way to accommodate our 2 dogs & a 2 year old. The menu was limited as they had just opened for spring, but as a special favour the chef cooked our special request. Thank you so much !
