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.

Stop what you are doing & make time to come experience Louis' & his team's customer service. We are in town for work & was told to go to Rose Orange. Read their reviews, & take it as fact. Then just go straight to Sora Adrielle, Alia, & Louis have some of the most impeccable customer service I have received in years. The food was served in less than a few minutes, drinks unique, & so visually appealing.

I've managed & hired hundreds of team members & I have prayed for candidates like this.

Truly amazing service, drinks, experience, & I will always make time to stop for a cocktail when in MTL.

Thank you Louis/Alia & the rest of the Hiatus team. 🙏

Probably the most innovative cocktail menu in Montreal, combined with great service & amazing views. Also very good food.

This place is where I proposed my wife. What a great view at night! After eating some unique delicious sushi & caviars while drinking some cocktails, I asked the staff if it was okay to wander around the floor. He said'Sure! Go ahead!' so me & my wife went to sit by a comfy table in a very quiet area all by ourselves & as soon as she looked by the window to enjoy the view, I awkwardly positioned myself on my knee extremely nervously until she turned around & tadaaaa ring in finger. It happened so fast. Don't make my mistake. Take your time LOL!

You're really only paying for the view. The service was nice, & the music was good, although a bit too loud.

The disappointing side was the cocktails. You could tell they were trying to make them complex & thematic, but the flavors fell flat & weren't balanced. They looked great, but overall they were quite tasteless & didn't live up to expectations. The esspresso martini was perty good.

Nous cherchions un rooftop pour admirer le coucher du soleil lors de notre passage à Montréal & c'est sur recommandation d'une connaissance que nous avons choisi Sora 45. Un choix que nous ne regrettons absolument pas !

La vue est tout simplement magnifique & une fois la nuit tombée, elle prend une toute autre dimension. L'endroit idéal pour terminer une belle journée en beauté.

Côté dégustation, tout était à la hauteur : les cocktails sont excellents & la carte fait honneur à l'adresse. Un coup de coeur particulier pour les Bao au canard, savoureux & généreux !

& pour couronner le tout, l'accueil était chaleureux & attentionné. Merci à toute l'équipe de Sora 45 pour ce moment suspendu au-dessus de Montréal. Une adresse que l'on recommande les yeux fermés !

Servir des cocktails à 30 $ dans un petit verre d'eau, c'est une honte !
La réponse du serveur : « On a cassé tous les verres pour ce cocktail. »
Quelle honte.

Haven't tried anything from the cafe but the view & whole place is beautiful so definitely a stop to go even just to admire the city from the top! After 4 they turn into a cocktail bar.

I really really liked the beef & oyster tartare. View is great & service is pleasant. The descriptions in the cocktail menu are very helpful as well.

Such a good vibe with humourous & friendly staff, excellent cocktails, dim lighting & great music. Shout out to the service team who create a welcoming & lively ambiance: Louis, Carlito, Zack & James 🫶🏼 Highly recommend for a night out!
