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.

Une bonne cuisine & un bon service avec la plus belle terrasse du Quartier des spectacles de Montréal! Un resto pour les vegans & ceux où ne le sont pas.

Une ambiance très agréable avec une vue esthétique vers l'extérieur comme vers l'intérieur. Un service remarquable & remarqué. Merci infiniment Greg durant la fin de semaine pascale ! Les plats savoureux avec fruits de mer ou poulet sont servis très chauds avec des légumes variés, du riz ou du vermicelle. Félicitations !

Although we'd only been at our table for 75 minutes, & were finishing our drinks, the waitress asked us to leave'soon', because she needed the table. There was no-one waiting. We felt very uncomfortable after that, & this has never happened before. The waitress was bi-racial, with her hair tied back at her neck.

Endroit assez bien plaisant. Il a par contre fallu attendre presque une heure pour être servis. La nourriture est bonne mais un peu décevante pour le gout & la présentation, pour le prix que l'on paye. Pas sûr que je reviendrai

Je n'ai peut-être pas été chanceux. J'ai pris deux entrées: wontons frits & crevettes tempura. Les premiers étaient complètement secs & sans goût. La panure des deuxièmes manquaient de finesse & les crevettes (trop petites) n'avaient pas un bon goût.

Très bien ,on a manqué votre ancien dessert ,on a oublié le nom. ?

le Sésame du 305 Sainte Catherine Ouest est le meilleur endroit a Montréal ou manger avant un spectacle.

J'étais assis au bar… excellent service du barmaid & excellentes suggestions de sa part… cocktail Nagano (frais) & le général Tao (goûteux, poulet plus important que la panure)…

Bon repas, service courtois & sympathique & belle lumière dans le restaurant. UN peu de lenteur au service mais rien de dramatique

Le temps d'attente entre l'entrée & le met principal= 1 heure???
