We were so excited to celebrate my mother-in-law's 60th birthday at Solemer. We have been loyal customers of the fish market for years & regularly purchase food from there, which is why we chose the restaurant for such an important family celebration. Family members travelled from Toronto, Ottawa, & other cities to be with us, making the occasion even more special.
Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing.
When we booked, we were promised a specific set menu & two different types of fish. On the day of the event, we were given a completely different menu that included neither of the promised fish options. Instead, we were served siyadiye(rice & fish). One of the main reasons we chose Solemer was to enjoy a seafood meal, so this was a major disappointment.
We also made it very clear several times before the event that our children (ages 2, 3, & 5) would be sharing their parents' meals. Despite this, we were charged $28 per child for kids' meals that we never requested. This has never happened to us at any restaurant in Montreal.
What made the experience even more disappointing was how the situation was handled. The manager, approached our young children directly to tell them to stop playing, even though the restaurant was practically empty. Rather than speaking to us as the parents, he chose to address the children himself. Had he simply spoken to us, we would have immediately asked our children to settle down.
We expected much better communication & professionalism, especially after trusting Solemer with such an important family celebration. It is unfortunate that our mother's 60th birthday was overshadowed by broken promises, unexpected charges, & poor customer service. Sadly, neither my family nor I plan to return, & we cannot recommend Solemer based on this experience.
We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our wedding. A huge thank you to Crystele & the entire Solémer team for the incredible service from start to finish.
The cocktail reception was an absolute hit. Every canapé was delicious, beautifully presented, & our guests are still talking about them days later. We received so many compliments on the food, & I'm certain several of our guests will be reaching out to Solémer for their own events.
Beyond the amazing food, the team was incredibly patient, responsive, & helpful throughout the entire planning process. Their professionalism made everything so easy & stress-free.
Thank you again for helping make our wedding so memorable. If I could give 10 stars out of 5, I absolutely would!
A few negative points:
1- The food dishes that were already on the table were dirty 2- The waiter was not professional or trained at all 3- The amount of food was very small & the plate was mostly filled with french fries & salad. 4- The price of the dessert, which included baklava & tea, did not match the amount & quality.
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!
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.
Just an amazing place to visit for a family gathering, celebrating a birthday, or if just wanting to have dinner with your friends. The restaurant is Very clean & the ambiance is great every time I visit there. The decorations of the restaurant are very prestigious & classy. The restaurant can be reserved to make a wedding or engagement celebrations. We reserved the place for the s Wedding party of one of our family & the part was amazing. Would recommend this place for gathering, parties or any celebration. The food served at this restaurant is one of the best served in Montreal area specially the kebeh & salads. The restaurant location is very accessible. & the team working there are very professional, very nice & very professional. Would for sure recommend this place!!
