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!

I was here on a Friday first thing in the morning & I loved it. Very cozy vibe, good music & awesome view. The hot chocolate was delicious with oat milk.

Unwelcoming vibe. Mostly just rich college kids on laptops.

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!

We went for the morning coffee. There is not much choices on their pastries. But the service & overall vibe is amazing. Of course nothing beats the unobstructed view of the city!

Only tried their espresso, so can't say much about their food. However the breath-taking view & the vibe make the place a must if you come to visit Montreal or if you're just looking for a chill spot to study/work.

Great views. The vibe is a bit cold though. Think corporate lobby + plants + a touch of Muzak.
