Sora 45 est largement reconnu pour sa vue panoramique imprenable sur Montréal, offrant une atmosphère élégante et mémorable qui en fait une destination prisée tant par les amateurs de café que par les passionnés de cocktails. Bien que de nombreux clients saluent la créativité et la qualité de la carte des boissons ainsi que le service amical et attentionné, d'autres soulignent que l'établissement peut être très fréquenté, rendant parfois difficile l'obtention d'une place en raison de la présence de personnes travaillant sur leur ordinateur. Les offres culinaires, bien qu'appréciées pour leur qualité et leur présentation unique, sont souvent décrites comme ayant des portions réduites et des prix élevés. Malgré quelques rares déceptions concernant le service ou la complexité d'accès aux ascenseurs, la majorité des visiteurs considère que l'association du paysage spectaculaire, de la sélection musicale et de l'ambiance générale constitue une expérience unique et incontournable.
Very strange experience. The place feels luxurious while also relaxed at the same time, with beautiful views & chill music. The cocktails are intricate & delicious, with well balanced flavours. The service was, unfortunately, a let down. Nonchalant, throwing the drink coasters a meter across the table & loudly talking at each other, almost screaming, across the place. When we asked for the bill, we were made to wait some good time for no apparent reason.
I believe this can be a 10/10 place, but our experience was just not.
Wonderful drinks! They make a Canadian version of Caipirinha (a typical Brazilian drink) & as a Brazilian I can say that it is delicious, although different from the original 😂 Incredible, impeccable service. Nice, calm atmosphere, pleasant music... I will definitely be back again...
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.
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.
