Review Summary

Reviewers consistently praise Sora 45 for its breathtaking city views and a chic, inviting atmosphere that works well for sunset drinks, dates, or casual visits with friends. The drinks are often highlighted as well balanced and visually appealing, with some memorable cocktails and even good mocktails, while food is frequently described as tasty but not very filling, with portions that may feel small for the price. The vibe supports both social and work use, since the space can be quiet and conducive to study during the day, though seating is limited and the room can fill up or become crowded, especially at peak times. Service is generally described as friendly and helpful, though a few reviews note occasional mischarges, delays in seating, or uneven attention. The location in Montreal and the panoramic view during sunset are repeatedly praised, making the venue feel special even when the menu focuses more on drinks and lighter bites than on hearty fare. Overall, Sora 45 stands out as a premier spot for drinks and scenery, with top tier ambiance and attentive service, tempered by high prices and occasional crowds.

Amazing cafe! The view is beautiful. Decent coffee & croissant.

Very strange experience. The place feels luxurious while also relaxed at the same time, with beautiful views & chill music. The cocktails are intricate & delicious, with well balanced flavours. The service was, unfortunately, a let down. Nonchalant, throwing the drink coasters a meter across the table & loudly talking at each other, almost screaming, across the place. When we asked for the bill, we were made to wait some good time for no apparent reason.

I believe this can be a 10/10 place, but our experience was just not.

The absolute best spot for a drink, a bite & fabulous service! The view is the most beautiful way to appreciate Montreal, especially at sunset! Will go back again & again. A shout out to the manager & bar chef Carl, the best in the biz!

Sora 45 is a special place.

The talented people who run it bring to life an intimate, welcoming atmosphere with exceptional service. It was easy to be enthralled by their infectious enthusiasm for their craft, especially since everyone was so generous in sharing their perspectives & recommendations during our time there.

The drinks themselves were incredible - beautifully presented & delicious - several of my new favorite cocktails came from behind the bar. The Honeydew & their version of the New York Sour were among the standouts.

Visiting Sora, you'll undoubtedly leave with a greater appreciation for excellent cocktails & what the best of Montreal has to offer.

I can't wait to come back!

Awesome restaurant. Ordered Nigiris (1 salmon, 1 tuna) & Makis (spicy salmon) + drinks- all delicious. Keep in mind: This isn't Hidden Fish (IYKYK).You go to Sora 45 for the drinks/view/vibe/location. Also, get real: you're paying for PVM rent but where else can you enjoy a beautiful sunset while having good drinks+sushis with THE best view of downtown MTL? So put on a nice suit/dress & enjoy your time with some friends. Overall: good & welcoming service.

A short, but by no means simple, menu of expertly created, prepared, & beautifully presented items, each of which was deliciously above our expectations. We started with wonderful cocktails as we watched the sun set from above the city. The view, the music, & the amicable service set the tone for a great evening. We ordered three-quarters of the very creative, exquisite maki, of which we most enjoyed the standouts: - Kampachi: ponzu, marinated cucumber, & a ginger & jalapeno cream. Incredible. - Pork chasu: 8-hour braised pork belly. So tender & savory. After this experience, a reasonable question to ask is: Would I return? Unfortunately, my answer is no. Why? Because I am not a paid influencer, I was not invited, & I spent almost half a week's salary (tax & tip included) on 23 pieces of sushi, five cubes of pork, & two cocktails. While the food, atmosphere, & service were all beyond excellent, I had to stop on my way home for more food because it was not even close to filling. I do not have a particularly big appetite either. I do not regret the experience, but if I'm being honest, it is not worth the average person's money in this economy, sadly.

We went to Sora 45 for lunch. The restaurant is beautiful with an amazing view. Service is impeccable. But... food is really really bad. Not a lot of choice for lunch. The maki is awful: tasteless. Worst of all for a Japanese resto: rice is undercooked.

A place worth going for a date. Panoramic view on a skyscraper. The menu is strong focus on seafood Japanese style. Their sushi was beautifully prepared & absolutely delicious & fresh (highly recommend ora king salmon nigiri, otoro tuna nigiri & kampachi roll) . The ambience & service are super great. I will come often.
