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.
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
Axel J. is the best, such an amazing waiter. He makes you feel at home. I Strongly recommend this place. Thank you Axel for making it a memorable night.
