J'ai engagé leur service traiteur pour le baptême de mon fils & c'était au-delà de mes attentes. La qualité des plats était exceptionnelle, les portions très généreuses, & le service absolument impeccable, du début jusqu'à la fin. Tous les invités ont souligné l'excellence du repas. Une équipe professionnelle, chaleureuse & à l'écoute, qui a d'ailleurs aussi su me guider dans la création d'un menu varié & festif. Je recommande à 100 %. Merci à toute l'équipe!
My favourite restaurant in the city. Everything from the service, to the menu, the food, the atmosphere is phenomenal. Solemer consistently delivers & I have always been satisfied with their dine-in, take out & catering services.
We hired Solemer to be our wedding caterers for a ~150 person wedding at a venue here in Montreal. We have nothing but positive things to say about their service.
First, the food was absolutely delicious. They took care of our cocktail hour with hours d'oeuvres, seated mezze for appetizers, & the main course as well, & the portions were all super generous. Everyone was blown away by the food, saying it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding, & we couldn't agree more. They have a mix of traditional & modern options, so there's a lot to choose from. They also were able to accommodate all of our guests' dietary restrictions, from nuts to gluten to vegetarian & vegan, which we were really appreciative of. We loved being able to share a bit of our culture with our guests.
The service they provided was also impeccable, from the waiters to the chefs & sous chefs to the bartenders. Everyone was professional, & everything flowed smoothly & punctually.
Finally, a huge thank you to Crystele, who we worked with to organize everything. She handled everything professionally, helping us find solutions & putting our minds at ease during a wedding planning processes that can be stressful. She was very responsive & made sure everything ran smoothly. We can't thank her enough!
In summary, we couldn't recommend Solemer enough for any catering needs. Thank you all again!
We were looking for a restaurant to accommodate a big group. Big restaurant near Marché Central serving authentic Lebanese food & alcohol. We enjoyed the suggested group meal, quantity well calculated! Different appetizers (cheese sticks, calamari, fattoush salad), shrimp, chicken & filet mignon, as well as tasty fried fish. The wine from Lebanon was very smooth! Great service!
We have had the pleasure of dining at Solemer multiple times & due to consistent great service over the years, we decided to host a birthday party in the private room. Service, food & atmosphere were all exceptional as usual! The food always tasted fresh & authentic. Will continue to visit Solemer with friends & family. Highly recommend!!
The entire service was perfect from start to finish, the food was delicious, & I have received nothing but excellent comments from all 220 guests.
The food was freshly prepared, very tasty, & the presentation was A+.
The service staff, including the chef, were very professional & provided excellent customer service.
The price of the entire package was quite competitive & worth every penny.
We will definitely hire them again for our future events.
100% recommended.
Waow super bien ! L'assiete de fruit de mer suggerer par Mrs.George! Qui en passant est SUPER!!! Vraiment 10/10!! Je vous le recommande fortement!! Merciii encore! & mercii à Georges pour son bon service!!!
The food was clean & good, but nothing special enough for me to go back. George was friendly, but he pressured us to order certain dishes & kept standing at the table waiting, tried to upsell, & he even forgot one of the dishes. His jokes were meant to be funny, but they crossed the line at times, & he kept asking for a Google review, which felt a bit pushy.
