Review Summary

SeaSalt is described in these reviews as a top spot for fresh seafood, with highlights like oysters, seafood paella, the lobster roll, and shrimp tacos, all set in a lively Old Port atmosphere with a welcoming outdoor terrace and water views. Service is repeatedly praised for attentiveness and warmth, though occasional slow pacing or misses during busy periods are noted. Guests applaud the menu, the flavors and the drinks program, along with a vibrant vibe and friendly staff, and many say they would return for the ambience, the view, and consistently solid food. A few reviews mention downsides such as mice on the patio and concerns about pricing or pacing, but the overall sentiment centers on great food, strong hospitality, and a memorable dining experience.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment au Seasalt. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par Jimmy. Les plats étaient savoureux & bien présentés, en particulier le poulpe grillé, qui était un véritable délice. L'atmosphère du restaurant est agréable, parfaite pour une soirée détente. Nous recommandons fortement ce restaurant pour sa cuisine exquise & son service exceptionnel. Un grand merci à Jimmy pour son accueil !

Ristorante di pesce con piacevole dehor esterno estivo. Personale gentile. Crocchette di granchio composte principalmente da una crema semi-insapore, non paragonabili a quelle assaggiate nel Maine. Totani fritti speziati e troppo croccanti. Conto elevato rispetto alla qualità dei piatti che abbiamo provato.

The lunch our family was served at Seasalt was perfect. From the burger, fish & chips along with Mussels & Greek salad. Our server was awesome. The atmosphere is so enjoyable. We will be back, & recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting or living in Montreal.

Came in with four friends on a Sunday evening with reservation. Were seated at a lovely window seat( opted out of outdoor due to approaching storm). Appetizers of rock shrimp & calamari were absolutely delicious, hot & fresh. I don't think I have ever had a more perfect Cesar salad. Shrimp tacos left a bit to be desired but tasty nonetheless. The fried fish of the fish & chips was light & delicate ...perfection

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sea Salt in Montreal, & it was nothing short of a remarkable experience. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was welcomed by the warm & inviting ambiance that perfectly sets the stage for a memorable meal. The interior is tastefully decorated with a modern nautical theme that evokes the essence of the sea without being over the top. The soft lighting & comfortable seating create a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for both intimate dinners & gatherings with friends. The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely passionate about the menu. Special mention goes to Enrik, the manager, who made our dining experience truly exceptional. His attention to detail & genuine hospitality were evident throughout the evening. He took the time to check on each table, ensuring everyone was enjoying their meal & providing personalized recommendations. Now, onto the star of the show - the food. Sea Salt offers a diverse menu that celebrates the bounty of the ocean. I started with the octopus carpaccio, which was beautifully presented & incredibly fresh. The delicate flavors were enhanced by a drizzle of olive oil & a sprinkle of sea salt, letting the quality of the ingredients shine through. For the main course, I opted for the seafood risotto. It was a masterpiece. The risotto was creamy & perfectly cooked, infused with the rich flavors of lobster, scallops, & shrimp. Each bite was a delightful blend of textures & tastes that left me craving more. Dessert was equally impressive. I chose the lemon tart, a light & refreshing end to a superb meal. The tart crust was perfectly crisp, & the lemon filling was a harmonious balance of sweet & tart. Overall, Sea Salt exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of exquisite cuisine, outstanding service, & a charming atmosphere makes it a standout dining destination in Montreal. Enrik's dedication to providing an unforgettable experience is evident in every detail. Whether you're a seafood lover or simply looking for an exceptional dining experience, Sea Salt is a must-visit. I can't wait to return & explore more of their delectable offerings.
