Review Summary

Sora 45 is widely celebrated for its breathtaking panoramic views of Montreal, making it a highly recommended destination for those seeking a memorable atmosphere, particularly at sunset. Guests generally enjoy the refined cocktail menu, quality coffee, and the unique, modern aesthetic of the space. While many reviewers praise the friendly and professional service, others report inconsistent experiences ranging from attentive care to occasional lapses in hospitality or long wait times. The venue serves as both a daytime cafe and an evening cocktail bar, which attracts a diverse crowd of professionals, students, and visitors. However, the popularity of the location often results in limited seating, with some patrons noting that it can become crowded and difficult to find a spot due to individuals working on laptops. Despite mixed feedback regarding food portions and pricing, the consensus remains that the exceptional scenery and overall vibe make it a must-visit spot in the city.

Very nice looking place but the food was extremely expensive. Two pieces of sushi costs $20 & took over 40 minutes. One of us only received half of the sushi ordered only to be told the chef left. We definitely didn't leave full but the drinks & vibe were good overall. Great view as well!

WOW what a beautiful café in the heart of Montreal. I suggest coming early if you want to get seats as they are quite limited & the café gets full very fast. The service was friendly & the drinks were good.
But most importantly, shout-out to the person who made the music playlist & please don't ever change it! I was vibing to it the whole time & it felt like a millennial heaven with those throwback songs.
