Restaurant Solymar Montreal delivers authentic Peruvian flavors with generous portions and a lively Latin ambiance where ceviche and seafood are frequently praised and the large menu offers something for every palate. Guests highlight fresh fish, tasty ceviche, and standout dishes like lomo saltado when well executed, along with crowd favorites such as chupe and picarones, plus reliable lunch specials and effective catering for office events. Prices are on the higher side, but many feel the quality and portions justify the cost, and recent visits show improvements in seafood dishes, desserts, and overall consistency. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though experiences can vary with wait times and a few notes about cross contamination concerns from non-seafood diners. The restaurant remains a popular choice for a celebratory Peruvian meal with bold flavors, generous servings, and a welcoming atmosphere in Montreal.
Honestly the main dishes are expensive, most of them turn around 30-40$ but the price does reflect the quality of the dishes. The fish was really fresh, the limonade & desserts were delicious. Expensive but in some ways worth it. It won't hurt to go here when you want a special treat. Also, the menu is really big, everyone should be able to find an option that would please them.
I will definitely go try it again to see if that was a lucky day or if the quality is consistent.
I'm editing my review. After coming back a couple of times, I've noticed several improvements. The quality of the plates has improved, especially the ones based on seafood. Ceviche is always good & Pisco Sour is the best I've tried in a very long time. Propably the most common plates are not so good (I don't like Jalea or Lomo Saltado here) but other plates are delicious (like Chupe, Pariguela). The desserts have also improved, I recommend the picarones. The prices are still a little high, but they're similar to other Peruvian restaurants in Montreal.

You guys, this place felt like a first kiss omg. It is so refreshing to find a restaurante that's loyal to latino cuisine in Montreal, the cebiche was amazing, the lomo was tender, & I was very feliz. Gracias.
My partner & I visited Sol y Mar with friends & were genuinely excited to try it. Unfortunately, the food experience was a letdown for us.
We don't eat seafood or fish (simply not our thing & hate the taste), so we both ordered the steak with peppercorn sauce. Sadly, the meat had a very strong fishy aftertaste, & the fries tasted like they had been cooked in the same fryer as seafood. Because of this, we had to send both dishes back.
We reordered another beef-based dish, hoping for a better outcome. While it was slightly improved, there was still a noticeable fishy taste. Since we were dining with three other friends, we didn't want to send our plates back a second time & reluctantly ate what we could.
That said, the service was decent. Our server was attentive, professional, & genuinely kind throughout the evening, which made the situation easier to handle.
Overall, the hospitality was great, but for people who don't eat seafood, cross-contamination in the kitchen seems to be an issue in my opinion & unfortunately, this significantly impacted our experience & left us disappointed with the food.
