Merci Lucas pour le super service sur la terrasse! Des recommandations personnalisées, un service professionnel & une ambiance chaleureuse sont au rendez-vous sur la terrasse Nelligan!
Went in the evening & got a patio spot. Pretty cool night city view & attentive & friendly service. We got the Brut x Moet Champagne package with the seafood tower which I would honestly not recommend. For $320, you are better off ordering cocktails & appies (we were a group of 4)
We came here for dinner & had the chance to enjoy the full sunset - the view & atmosphere were absolutely amazing! 🌇 Terrasse Nelligan is definitely one of the best spots in the city for drinks, the cocktails & appetizers were both excellent & really set the mood.
That said, I wouldn't strongly recommend it for dinner if you hungry. We ordered beef, but unfortunately had to wait more than 30 minutes for the main course, which was a bit disappointing.
Other than the long wait, everything else was great. I would still highly recommend coming here, especially to watch the sunset with a drink in hand - it's a beautiful & memorable experience.
What a wonderful evening with Louise serving us. Service was impeccable! A truly magic ambiance. Highly recommend this place for a romantic evening, fun soirée out or a birthday.
Beautiful setting, delicious food, friendly staff. Our waitress, Sarah, was professional, personable, & on top of everything. She added to a wonderful brunch. Highly recommend!

While visiting the lovely city of Montreal our local friends took us here. It was a perfect way to spend the afternoon. The ambiance & views were wonderful. Great drinks & delicious food. Our server Louise was amazing. She recommended a few items from the menu we loved while providing excellent service. Whether you are local or visiting this is the perfect spot to relax with friends.
My sister & I had a wonderful experience last week at Terrasse Nelligan. Our server, Malak, was especially delightful, friendly, & helpful! We enjoyed the terrace atmosphere, a delicious salad, & a St. Germaine cocktail (which was new to us) recommended by Malak . I highly recommend Terrasse Nelligan!
We stayed at the bar, Yanis, Killian, Tomas were incredible & took really good care of us. Very attentive & super nice. Highly recommend this place especially when these lads are working. Great atmosphere & great views .

Fantastic rooftop views & food worth coming back for. Expertly shucked oysters, & exceptional cocktails. We came early, so the service was awesome. Our server was relatively new but very attentive & knowledgeable. I'd recommend getting there earlier to nab a table by the water view!
Terrasse Nelligan was okay, the food was a little bland & their water is lukewarm. The service was good, but very slow. My table ordered the oysters (very good, 7.5/10) the tuna tartare (7/10), truffle parm fries (8/10), the katsu chicken sando (very dry, chicken tastes like frozen food, it wasn't katsu it was nuggets, sauce is only on top so the bread is very dry & it's not very pleasant when you try to eat it; 4/10), the salade niçoise (5/10, the tuna tasted weird, the rest didn't really taste like anything) & finally the shrimp bao (6/10). As for the drinks we had strawberry mojitos, they were good. Overall, it was an ok experience, I wouldn't recommend this place for their food, but it's a nice spot for pictures.
Audrey is an excellent waitress, the ambiance is beautiful & the views are immaculate. Somehow the food & drinks were still the highlight of the evening! I highly recommend spending the evening at the rooftop bar! They accommodated our large party perfectly.

Super endroit pour boire un verre, manger passer un moment entre amis. Le service est impeccable entre Heol, Leena ou Kamel, la prise en charge est optimale Je recommande !
Everything was amazing! The food, the ambiance, the music, the service. I had absolutely nothing to complain about. I also loved William the waiter, he was so amazing in general & I loved how much he knew & was interested about my country, we had a lot in common! I definitely recommend & most definitely I'll come back!
Super expérience à la terrasse ! Mention spéciale pour Kamel, Axel J & Nicolas pour ce service exceptionnel qui nous ont fait nous sentir comme à la maison ! Je recommande très fortement en famille ou entre amis
