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.
Gostamos muito da experiência no rooftop - a vista da cidade junto com o canal e os navios é realmente única e vale a pena.
A comida fois o grande destaque: muito saborosa e nao deixou nada a desejar.
Quanto ao atendimento, nao acompanhou a mesma qualidade do local. Faltou um pouco mais de atençao. Talvez seja parte da cultura da regiao, mas é algo que poderia melhorar a experiência geral.

We really enjoyed the rooftop experience - the view of the city along with the canal & ships is truly unique & worth it.
The food was definitely the highlight: very tasty & left nothing to be desired.
As for the service, it didn't quite match the quality of the place. It felt like it could use more attention. Maybe it's just part of the local culture, but it's something that could improve the overall experience.

En vrai, la seule & unique raison pourqoi j'ai
mis 5 étoiles c'est grace à Luca le serveur, il est pince-sans rire, amusant tout en restant professionnel. J'ai rarement eu autant de plaisir sur une terrasse.
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)
Ce que j'ai aimé : Thomas & ses cocktails foufou el artistooo, Lucas le service à la hauteur de sa beauté ( = mannequin ), ensuite que dire du mr en costard : Alonzo alias Papi... muchas gracias ! Anyway je reviendrai, très bonne terrasse.. un peu trop de guêpes par contre...
Encore une très belle visite sur cette terrasse, mention spéciale pour le service Lucas notre serveur ainsi que Thomas pour les cocktails & Alonzo pour son rôle de supervision !!
Nous avons passé une excellente soirée à la terrasse Nelligan. Le cadre est magnifique & l'ambiance très agréable, mais ce qui a rendu l'expérience vraiment exceptionnelle, c'est le service. Louise, notre serveuse, a été incroyable : charmante, attentionnée & toujours souriante. Grâce à elle, notre soirée a été parfaite du début à la fin. Un grand merci ! Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.

We enjoyed ourselves on our day of arrival to Montreal. Louise was our server & was super friendly, & brought us a sample of the cocktail flavor we had questions about.- which we so appreciated. She also instantly replaced my wine when a moth flew into it. It was a fun evening!
