Sitting on the 5th floor of Hôtel Nelligan is a rooftop welcoming guests & locals to lounge, eat, sip & admire the views of Old Port. Embodying urban elegance nestled in timeless architecture, the redesigned space is meant to elevate your summer with signature cocktails, an elaborate menu and a leisurely atmosphere from morning to night, with DJs on weekends.
Terrasse Nelligan impresses with breathtaking rooftop views of the Old Port and Notre Dame Basilica, a chic yet relaxed ambiance that fits brunch, sunset drinks, and evenings with friends. The service is frequently described as attentive and warm, with staff going the extra mile to accommodate groups and ensure a smooth experience. The beverage program shines with creative cocktails and a strong selection of beers and wines that pair well with a varied menu, and the food features popular items like ceviche, lobster roll, grilled salmon, and Mediterranean inspired dishes that many diners rate highly. The terrace itself is repeatedly called beautiful and photogenic, offering a prime setting for photos, conversations, and enjoying the city skyline, while convenient options like valet contribute to a seamless visit. Taken together, the combination of views, atmosphere, and reliably solid drinks and dishes makes Terrasse Nelligan a memorable Montreal rooftop venue, though a few reviews note occasional pacing or value fluctuations.
The food & service were exceptional! A big thank you to Yaniss for taking such great care of us. We were a large group & tried several items from the brunch menu, everything was delicious.
Beautiful terrace with an amazing view & great ambiance! Food & drinks are real good.
One thing tough, my waiter was almost inexistant & when I saw him & try to call him or make eye contact he never looked my way or come to see me. To get my first drink was a struggle.
I finally had to ask another waitress from another section for a second drink & food. For the bill I ask that same waitress again. She was sweet & service was quicker with her.

As I stepped onto the rooftop, I was immediately captivated by the breathtaking views of the Old Port & the Notre-Dame Basilica. The ambiance was vibrant yet relaxed, making it the perfect setting for a memorable day.
The service was exceptional; the staff was attentive & friendly, ensuring that every need was met. I started with the ceviche, which was fresh & bursting with flavor, perfectly complemented by a refreshing cocktail. The menu offered a delightful variety of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, & I was particularly impressed by the grilled salmon, which was cooked to perfection.
First time visiting Montreal & we decided to check out Terrasse Nelligan, definitely a great choice! It was a bit chilly out, but the vibe on the terrasse was still really nice. My wife & I had some awesome cocktails & the service was great & the price very reasonable. The valet Masta was very polite & funny, which made the whole experience even smoother from the moment we arrived.
Didn't go for food but got drinks. Aperol spritz was amazing one of the best I've had. Really cool being on the rooftop to the hotel too. McAllister loved it
It's fine if you're just here for drinks. But when it comes to the food-forget it. The team in the kitchen are amateurs doing their best, yet the chef & the menu feel completely out of sync. I've never seen a Niçoise salad look so much like a Caesar...
