Review Summary

Sésame is a well-regarded restaurant that is frequently praised for its fresh, flavorful pan-Asian dishes, with popular items like the General Tao chicken, poke bowls, and creative mocktails often highlighted. The restaurant serves as a convenient and popular dining destination, particularly for those attending events in the downtown area. While many guests enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, pleasant decor, and efficient service provided by the friendly staff, some visitors have noted inconsistencies regarding noise levels, occasional service delays, or portion sizes. Despite these mixed experiences, many patrons consider it a reliable go-to spot and frequently express their intention to return due to the overall quality of the food and the professional, accommodating nature of the team.

Nous n'en sommes pas à la première visite chez Sésame, nous avons l'habitude de visiter le Sésame du quartier des spectacles & celui de St-Bruno. Nous avons été TRÈS déçu cette fois-ci car pratiquement tous les repas commandés étaient épicés ,alors qu'habituellement ce nest pas le cas. Entre autres : La poutine était épicée, les wontons sauce aux arachides étaient épicés... Attention de maintenir une régularité à ce niveau dans les repas que vous suggérez... Nous ne recherchons pas toujours le piquant dans les saveurs.

Tout a été parfait & délicieux jusqu'à ce qu'on ait terminé de manger notre plat principal, nous n'avions plus de service & n'avons pas recu notre dessert, nous avons du quitter pour ne pas être en retard à notre spectacle & pourtant nous étions arrivés 2h30 plus tôt.

Emplacement pratique pour le Festival de Jazz de Montréal, avec la terrasse adonnant sur le quartier des spectacles...le Poké Tao était savoureux & généreux, le verre de rosé sec & délicieux, le service très bien: j'y retournerai sans faute!

Serveurs & serveuses très gentils & efficaces. Bonne cuisine. Seul bémol : lenteur du service. Le resto & la terrasse étaient bondés, ce qui explique qu'il a fallu attendre 1h30 pour recevoir le plat principal, le manger très rapidement pour être à l'heure au spectacle. Réservation fortement recommandée.

Sesame is located in a charming part of downtown Montreal (Quartier des Spectacles), making it a very convenient spot, especially if you're heading to a show at Place des Arts. The restaurant's decor has a stylish, White Lotus-like vibe that adds to the ambiance. The staff are friendly, & the menu is right up my alley - the food is very good & consistently enjoyable.

That said, there's one recurring issue. On two separate occasions, I made early dinner reservations specifically to have time for a leisurely meal before a show at Place des Arts. Both times, despite arriving early, the service was so slow that we had to skip the dessert & coffee included in our'Meal for Two' & rush out to make it to the performance. Even after letting the waitress know that we were short on time, the pace didn't really pick up. While the restaurant was busy, I do feel there's room for improvement when it comes to managing service flow, especially for guests who are clearly on a schedule.

Just a little food for thought.
