A great restaurant located at Place Ville Marie, with amazing views! The food was okay, not the greatest food, & the cocktails were made good, recommended by a passionate bartender.

AMAZING experience we started at the Terrace Rose Orange, nice wine list & appetizers, ambience was so exceptionally unique because of the view on the 44th floor of Place Ville Marie the sofas comfy & clean & the service was the best! We went to Sora 45 for Sushi & sake, really fresh & haute cuisine sushi & the selection of saké was great, again the service is very classy. They explain everything they bring you. What a great experience! I recommend!!

This is a pseudo-Japanese restaurant owned & run by some Canadians who might not have even been to Japan, in spite of its name & deco. I did not see a single Asian face on the staff. This probably should tell you how genuine their Japanese food is. The food came with nice decorations in small portions but did not taste Japanese, without even being accompanied by wasabi & soya sauce. When we requested these condiments, the waiter asked for 5$ for a ¼ pea-sized portion of wasabi & another $5 for some ginger. Funny. The restaurant should really be called a bar because most customers (10 or so) there were just having a drink. They were probably working in the building & had a happy hour after work. Only 3-4 tables of guests were dinner guests. 90% of the tables were empty all evening. Some rather loud music was playing; this was annoying, as we just wanted a quiet dinner & to have some conversation. Although, in theory, on the 45th floor above, we should have a nice view of Mont Royal & St. Laurent River, the view was spoiled by construction cranes nearby & by the ugly white roofs of the building next to 1 Place Ville-Marie. It is a total disappointment for us. Those positive reviews were probably written by the owner's friends, by companies doing it for a profit, or even by AI. In all fairness, the service was good, & the waiters were friendly.

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.

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.

There is no way what they're claiming is bluefin otoro is legit. It does not have anywhere near the fatty content you'd expect & the presence of connective tissue in multiple pieces makes me think it's coming from a fish smaller than bluefin or coming from a poor cut. The salmon & himachi are good. View is nice. Service is good.

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 !

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.
