Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Sotto by Soubois as delivering top notch food and a warm, attentive atmosphere when service runs smoothly. The menu earns high marks for seafood such as octopus and oysters Rockefeller, Cajun oysters with heat, and other dishes that are fresh, flavorful and well presented. Drinks and cocktails are often highlighted, with the dirty gin martini receiving particular praise, and portions described as satisfying and balanced. The vibe is repeatedly noted as lively and welcoming, whether during a party, a birthday, or a casual dinner, and the central downtown location is a plus. Several visits recount service missteps and timing issues, including a Valentine dinner with long waits, bread substitutions, a rude exchange with staff, a mistaken bill item, and at least one overcooked fish and undercooked pasta. Even with occasional flaws, the kitchen's passion and the balance of tradition and creativity come through, leading many to say Sotto by Soubois is worth returning to.

Absolutely amazing experience at SOTTO. The vibe is unmatched, the service is top-notch, & the food… wow. Every bite was full of flavor, beautifully presented, & totally worth it. You can really feel the passion in the kitchen. This spot is a must-try in Montreal, it was highly recommended by mtljackk & it was worth it!!
