I usually come to Terrasse Nelligan every summer & always leave satisfied but was a bit disappointed when I dined last night. The restrooms were dirty & the carpet leading to the terrace really needs to be cleaned or changed. I ordered the tuna tartare & it tasted stale & not fresh. Thankfully, our waitress was lovely & gave us a great service.
Had a great experience at Terrasse Nelligan! The atmosphere was beautiful, the food & drinks were great, & the service was excellent. A special thank you to our waiter, Zhenya, who was attentive, friendly, & made our evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Terrasse Nelligan is one of those places where you don't just go for a drink or a meal - you go for the experience. Located on the rooftop of the beautiful Hotel Nelligan in Old Montreal, this spot feels like a little escape above the city, where you can slow down, take in the view, & pretend for a moment that you're living in a movie scene (even if you're just there trying to get the perfect Instagram photo like the rest of us!).
The first thing that grabs you is the view. Looking out over Old Montreal, with the historic buildings, rooftops, & the city skyline stretching around you, it's absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere feels elegant but not intimidating - a place where you can dress up a little, enjoy yourself, & soak in the moment.
The sounds are just as beautiful: the gentle buzz of conversations, the clinking of glasses, the music in the background, & the energy of Montreal below. It creates the perfect rooftop ambiance.
The smell of delicious food, fresh cocktails, & the summer air mixing together makes you want to stay longer than planned. The taste definitely delivers - the drinks were refreshing, beautifully crafted, & the flavours felt like they matched the rooftop experience. Every sip felt like a little celebration.
& the feeling? That's what makes Terrasse Nelligan special. Sitting there with the breeze on your skin, surrounded by beautiful views & great energy, you can't help but feel grateful to be experiencing such a wonderful place.
The staff were warm & attentive, & the entire experience felt memorable from start to finish. It's the perfect place for a romantic evening, a celebration, or simply treating yourself because sometimes you need to enjoy a rooftop drink & pretend you're fancy - even if you still have emails waiting for you tomorrow.
A true Montreal gem. Five stars without hesitation!
Absolutely loved my experience at Terrasse Nelligan! The atmosphere is beautiful, the rooftop views are stunning, & the cocktails were fantastic. What really made our evening special was Maïté, our bartender. She was incredibly kind, attentive, & made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Her recommendations were perfect, & her friendly energy truly elevated the whole experience. Can't wait to come back! 🌇🍸
Zach was the absolute best server. He was so attentive every time my wine glass was even just barely empty, there he was to fill it right back up. He was always around if we needed anything, even the strangest of requests, with no judgement. If I could speak directly to his managers, I'd tell them Zach deserves a raise, a promotion, even shares in the company. Could not recommend terrasse Nelligan enough, & especially Zach's service!
