Sora 45 offers breathtaking views of Montreal from the top floor, often described as the highlight, especially at sunset, with a chic, relaxed vibe and a menu that shifts from coffee and pastries by day to inventive cocktails and small plates by night. Reviewers consistently praise the cocktails for their craft and originality, the atmosphere for being inviting and lively, and the staff for friendliness and attentiveness, though a few note occasional service hiccups and pricing that makes the food portions seem small for the cost. The location can be a bit tricky to find and access involves elevators and clear signage, but once inside the panorama and the varied seating areas make it easy to linger or study, while crowds can mean long waits and audible buzz during peak times. Coffee gets mixed marks, with standout mocha and cafe vibes in some reports, but occasional cold drinks and daytime cafe experiences that miss the mark in others. Overall, Sora 45 is often described as a must visit for the view and cocktails, a place to enjoy a date or after work drinks, with the sunset experience repeatedly singled out as unforgettable, and the drinks and ambience frequently highlighted as the main draws even when the food is secondary.

Unexpected Delights Await! Initially pegged as a cozy cocktail spot, this venue pleasantly surprised us with its diverse offerings. While the cocktails did impress with their creativity, it was the delightful discovery of top-notch sushi that stole the show. Fresh fish, artfully presented on vibrant plates, made for an Instagram-worthy experience against the backdrop of stunning views. Needless to say, our cameras were busy! & let's not forget the stellar service, adding an extra layer of warmth to our memorable evening.
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.

La qualité des sushis est excellente. Le chef & sa brigade maîtrisent leur art. Chacun des plats commandés était extraordinaire. La fine tranche de jalapeno sur le nigiris de hamachi amène un tout petit peu de piquant, les nigiris de Toro sont fondants, ceux de saumon parfaitement torchés, le pork belly était savoureuse tout comme les boules de poulet. Les cocktails sont à la hauteur de ce que la cuisine produit. Les barmans connaissent leurs produits & sauront vous conseiller pour trouver quelque chose qui va s'accorder avec vos goûts. La vue & l'espace sont spectaculaires. C'est idéal pour un rendez-vous romantique ou une soirée avec des amis au sommet de Montréal.
Everytime I'm going there I always have an amazing experience. The staff is lovely & amazing. Special shoutout to Carl Charette, who made me discover so many different cocktails based on my preference & paired it perfectly with some of the best sushis I have ever had! It's a must for cocktails lovers with the best view in Montreal! Will definetly go again.

love this place ! everything from the cocktails, the food, the atmosphere & obviously the amazing view. the entire staff is extremely friendly & it really adds to the experience. Carl is really knowledgeable & made us feel comfortable, engaging us in conversation, asking what we like & what we don't like & proposed some drinks based on our tastes. it would be easy for a place like this to be ruined by rude staff but that is absolutely not the case. best drinks & sushi in Montreal !
Last night was an absolute delight! The warm welcome from the hostesses set the perfect tone. Louis, our server, was incredibly attentive & took such great care of us during the entire night. Our welcome cocktail crafted by Carl was a masterpiece of heart & detail. The bar staff, including Marshall, Alexi, & Dolan, amazed us with their exceptional cocktails. & the pinnacle was Chef Gary & the kitchen staff spoiling us with top-quality sashimi platters, sushi, maki & meat. A huge thank you to everyone involved!
Great new spot for a late night snack & cocktails! The atmosphere & views are stunning & the staff are all extremely talented & it really shows just how much they love what they do!
