Review Summary

Sésame is a highly regarded destination, frequently praised for its delicious Asian-inspired cuisine, fresh ingredients, and inviting atmosphere. Guests often highlight the flavorful dishes, including the General Tao chicken and various poke bowls, which are complemented by a creative cocktail and mocktail menu. The restaurant’s prime location in the Quartier des Spectacles makes it a popular choice for theatergoers, and the staff is consistently described as professional, friendly, and attentive. While most experiences are excellent, some visitors have noted occasional challenges with noise levels, portion sizes, or wait times during peak hours. Overall, it remains a go-to spot for both casual gatherings and special occasions, with many patrons eager to return for the consistent quality and vibrant energy.

Nicely situated downtown at Place des Arts, great big windows on both sides. Food was good but really loved the frozen rosé wine drink!

Beau décor, bonne ambiance, la nourriture était bonne mais sans plus, surtout considérant le prix. Les tables sont plutôt proches les unes des autres. Les mocktails étaient délicieux!

We used to eat at Sesame regularly before shows at Place des Arts, in pre-Covid days. They are in a new location now across the street, & it is a great improvement. Much brighter, more spacious, slick & modern, & much less noisy. One has to remember that Sesame is fusion Asian cuisine. The butter chicken my friend had is not an authentic Indian butter chicken, & the General Tao chicken I had was not the authentic Chinese dish, but they were both excellent. Sesame's own fusion take on these classic Asian dishes. Both were served with the same steamed rice, Jasmine I think, & the same very good, fresh & crispy sautéed vegetables. Everything sprinkled with sesame seeds as well of course. Our server was excellent. My friend is allergic (but not critically) to all forms of soya protein, so Sesame can be a challenging experience. She helped us navigate through the menu patiently & professionally. She checked with the kitchen when she wasn't sure & she came back several times to make sure my friend was happy. We walked out very satisfied with everything.

The service was courteous & quick. The food was mostly good - the GeneralTao chicken was a little dry. A little noisy. But overall a good experience & perfect choice before going to the theatre
