Sésame offers a concept unique in its kind: an out of the ordinary variety of high quality Asian dishes to enjoy in a warm atmosphere.
From the Pad Thai to the General Tao poutine, or one of the various wok sautées, you can eat your meal on site or take it to go.
Additionally, Sésame offers a wide selection of loose teas, several privately imported wines, beers on tap, a wide selection of sake, but especially, a menu of exclusive Sésame cocktails.
Reviews consistently praise Sésame for delicious and varied Asian fusion dishes, with favorites like pad thai, general tao, dumplings, and poke bowls, plus original cocktails, all served with warm, attentive service. The atmosphere is described as stylish and inviting, with beautiful lighting and a lively yet comfortable vibe that fits well for a night out or pre show dining. Guests note friendly, professional staff, quick and efficient service, and generous portions that feel good value. The location and terrace are repeatedly mentioned as nice features, and the presentation and freshness of the ingredients are highlighted across visits. While a few notes mention busier nights bringing more noise or longer pacing, the overall impression is one of consistently high quality, great flavors, and a welcoming team that makes diners want to return.
Service impeccable tous autant que l'accueil, nous avons eu la chance d'être servi par Phil sympathique doté d'une pointe d'humour juste assez pour passer un bons moments à table. Décoration soignée & chic.
Très bon rapport qualité prix, la terrasse était très agréable & le décor très beau. Staff très sympathique & efficace! Endroit idéal pour un bon petit resto agréable sans se ruiner. Nous y sommes allés avant un spectacle & le staff était très accomodant avec tous les gens qui souhaitaient payer & partir en temps pour le show. Beau travail!
Restaurant fusion sur la rue sainte Catherine donnant sur la Place des Arts. Restaurant avec 4 options : au bar, en salle, en terrasse ou à emporter. Nourriture de qualité avec des produits frais. Bon rapport qualité prix, service agréable, temps d'attente raisonnable. Il y a beaucoup de choix. Manque un peu d'épices dans les plats. Personnel très sympathique. Un bon moment après une longue journée.
Unfortunately, we waited over 10 minutes to have our order taken despite the fact that restaurant was empty. Once the food arrived, it was good although the rice was rather crispy & not what we expected. The ice cream we ordered for dessert was very good but again took almost ten minutes to arrive at our table. They need to step it up in the kitchen & in training their staff to be a bit quicker & more attentive with customers. There is no excuse for sitting someone at a table - handing them menus & not come back for almost 15 minutes to take their order. Once served, someone should come by & ask if we need anything else - that never happened & I ended up using extra paper napkins from empty table next to us. There was one employee - a young lady - who was kind enough to help me with the 3 doors as I entered with my wheelchair bound mother- in- law. She noticed I needed help on the way out & also volunteered. She gets 5 stars plus for her kindness. Otherwise - the restaurant experience left a lot to be desired. Such a shame. So much potential.

Dîner entre collegues pour l'heure du midi ! Nous étions un groupe de 7 pers & nous avons été émerveillés par la qualité, la présentation & le prix !! Chapeau !! Excellent ! seul bémole, le temps pour se faire servir notre repas fut tres long + 1h ... :( , par contre , notre serveuse , d'un professionnalisme hors pairs , du jamais vue , elle nous offert une gratuité, s'est expliqué à plusieurs reprise , wow bravo a notre serveuse ! Pour ma part , vous méritez les 5 etoiles car mes papilles guatatives m'ont franchement dit que l'attente en value la peine ;) Aussi , si vous pouvez régler le son des hauts parleurs avec de la bonne musique ca serait apprécié car il y avait un son lors de notre visite mais on entendait rien d'autre qu'un bruit fatiguant!! nouriture 10/10 , notre serveuse 100000% wow wow wow & ambiance 8/10
A perfect place for super fine wine & dine. Brings you the taste of Asians with a lot of variety dishes. Be it a lunch with coworkers, colleagues or a dinner with family, it's a classic place to experience & a must try for sure. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a decent place downtown for some delicious drinks with a beautiful view of Places Des arts outside with your buddies.
