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.

A very chill place with an amazing view. With a surprise menu & cocktails that change often. Ask the barman for any information for drinks or what they could make for you.

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!

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

A great place to start your day, we came early in the morning; the view is amazing, you certainly will enjoy your coffee with that view. The coffee was good, even the food but what made me surprised is when I asked to heat my croissant, they don't have an oven for heating the food. This is not acceptable in such a place. I have to try it at night next time. I will definitely go again.

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.
