SeaSalt emerges in reviews as a lively Old Port seafood spot with a focus on fresh, tasty dishes like oysters, paella, seafood towers, lobster rolls, ceviche and shrimp tacos, plus solid drinks and a pleasant terrace. The atmosphere and views by the water are highlighted, along with a vibrant, welcoming vibe that many describe as perfect for a summer visit. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness and friendliness, with staff able to handle large groups and dietary needs, though a few visits note slower pacing and occasional inconsistency in timing. A few criticisms appear, including reports of pricey options, portions that feel small for the price, and a negative mention of pests on the patio, but overall the food quality and atmosphere remain strong favorites. Most reviewers say they would return to explore more items on the menu and enjoy the terrace again.
Loved the service & the vibes. This is an ideal summer spot for anyone wandering Old Port & looking for a bite to eat. Good, fresh seafood is hard to come by in Montreal, but this place delivered.
Amazing restaurant, definitely a must try when you're in old the old port. The service was great even though we were an enormous group!
The food was fresh & authentic, special thanks to Rob, he did a great job with the menu.
I 100% recommend the Paella 🥘 it was delicious, we also had a pitcher of virgin Margarita which was delicious.
Also whomever was responsible for the playlist, great job !!

The food is amazing & very reasonably priced for old port, staff is very kind, the service was great very fast & efficient, music is great, the patio is beautiful, probably the nicest I've seen in the old port. 10/10 would recommend!
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! :)
Beautiful patio & great service. The food was just right & the portions were exactly what I was hoping for. So happy we stopped by & it wasn't a tourist trap like so many of the other places in the old port of Montreal. We didn't get a chance to try the cocktails but are coming back for those for sure.

Lovely patio overlooking the port. We have two dogs which they were happy to accommodate on the patio & provide with a water bowl. Food was excellent & the service very friendly. Even gave us tips of where to go with our dogs in Montreal. There was a power cut that affected the restaurant & most of Old Town but fortunately our food had just been prepared & the staff coped with the loss of power admirably.
My friends & I came to sea salt for a girls night & we had such a great time. The manager was so friendly which made our experience even better. The vibes are flowing & the food is 10/10. We strongly recommend the burrata, seafood pasta, & sea bass! Situated in the old port, you get to walk around & digest after a great dinner 😀
Nous sommes allés dîner avec notre petit bébé. Le personnel était très gentil & a tout fait pour nous offrir une place un peu en retrait sur la terrasse. Le service a été excellent comme d'habitude & la nourriture tout simplement délicieuse. C'est mon endroit préféré dans le Vieux-Port!

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.
One of my favourite restaurants in all old port! I really like that they update the menú each year, the quality never disappoints & the price is really good for the quality, also the service is really good, they answer all the questions with great attitude & trying to be as helpful as they can.
A real gem of a restaurant in Montreal's Old Port. Great vibes, a beautiful terrasse, top tier food, & excellent service, even at the busiest of times. Food-wise, the seafood roll is absolute fire, the fish&chips deliver a lovely non-traditional twist, & everything else I've had has been super solid, & reasonably priced considering the location. Shout outs to Manager Enrik & Bartender Olivier, both true captains of industry. 10/10 would recommend.
Cocktail creations were out of this world. As far as seafood goes, especially in the old port, pricing was reasonable but the quality was immaculate. The house cocktail creations were also very well mixed & presented, hard to say which one was best between cocktails & the food. Also what is the best terrace in old port. Easy to want to come back to.

Excellent restaurant, amazing seat request, service & food was top rate! A must stop for anyone in the old port looking for a seafood restaurant with a great ambience & setting. Outdoor dining in the summer too!
Amazing food & patio! The crab cake is legendary. My girlfriend & I played mini golf at the old port & we had our lunch at Seasalt. The service is fast & nice considering how popular this place is. Definitely recommend!!
