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.
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 !!
Had an amazing dining experience at Sea Salt! The virgin mojito was refreshing, the steak was cooked to perfection, & the burrata was creamy & delicious. But the real showstopper was the brownie - decadent & rich! Can't wait to come back & try more of their menu. Visiting from Toronto for a work offsite & one do the best restaurants in Montreal. Highly recommend! 5/5 stars!!

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!
Very good service, good ambiance.
The barman named Basch came & talked & joked with us.
Every mistakes on drinks or food is on the house
I would go again & recommend
This place was unreal!! Best atmosphere, food was incredible & Rob really made our group of 13 from Vancouver feel welcomed. His signature'slaw' was the best dish I've ever had. Can't recommend this place enough if you're looking for great service, great food & an electric atmosphere. Two huge thumbs up!

We order fish & chips & shrimp tacos.. fish & the fries were burnt & head to be returned but came back not much better & shrimp tacos were a joke.. only one shrimp in each taco .. two bites .. would not recommend .. not worth the money

Nous recommandons fortement ce restaurant pour sa cuisine exquise & son service exceptionnel. Un grand merci à Jimmy pour son accueil !

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! :)
