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.
Superbe endroit!!! D'abord le cadre avec une vue à couper le souffle sur le fleuve St Laurent, l' accueil & le service impeccable toujours avec le sourire & la gentillesse, des plats originaux & raffinés & pour terminer une musique d'ambiance très agréable. Nous tenons également à remercier le service très professionnel & agréable de Benjamin & Elliot.Nous vous recommandons ce roof top qui est pour nous un incontournable de Montréal.
Belle découverte! Le menu est alléchant, les cocktails sont délicieux avec une belle variété de vins. Nous avons été très bien conseillé & servi par Axel
The only attraction is the nice view to the old port & little cute birds flying on the chairs & fences. BUT food is so so & pricy. & it is very disturbing that too many bees fly around & even dive into my cocktail 😓.
William our waiter was amazing! He was engaging, had a great sense of humour, & paid attention to the little details! Our dinner was outstanding & delicious. The restaurant is a bit loud but otherwise everything was 5 Stars!
Food was great. The view is splendid from the Terrasse. Also, friendly & efficient staff members especially Zach who offered us a great service throughout the night. Would recommend this spot for cozy nights with friends/family or even dates.

I had the pleasure of being served by Massimo at Terrasse Nelligan, his service was outstanding. He was attentive, efficient, knowledgeable about the menu, & made great recommendations. Massimo's warm personality & perfect timing made our dining experience truly enjoyable. If you visit, be sure to ask for Massimo-he'll make your meal memorable!
Owner: I didn't see any reply to bad reviews, why? Drink here, eat elsewhere! One of Montreal's nicest rooftop terrace! Went there around 7-8 times & tried many dishes. The good: the design was really well thought of, ergonomically, choice of colors, etc. -1 point for the bar lighting in the evening, TOO BRIGHT! It totally kills the ambiance. Was just perfect before they turn it up full blast. Maybe it's for barman/maid to see better when they make cocktails? Confirmed by a lighting specialist designer friend that was accompanying us. Good to know: some guests can be pretty loud in a place like this later in the evening. Service: Sometimes too overly enthusiastic & sometimes really slow. I'd say average service. Food: this is were it loose the most points for me. The portion are too small & quality is clearly lacking. More than 1/2 the time the fries are cold. Katsu sando chiken was good last year. This year, it's pretty simple white bread & fried chicken. Pretty tastless. I have many examples, but ultimately, this is a place to have a drink before going to eat elsewhere! Montreal has far better food for the price. If you have to grab a bite while there, the ceviche is the best plate to my taste, although, again, the excution is inconsistent. Special mention to DJ Larry for the amazing mixes!
