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.
Place is nice with a good vibe & beautiful scenic views if you're sitting at the right spot however the food is average. Burger was under seasoned + the cherry jam did not help..not for me. Bao shrimp that you can barely see or taste the shrimps.
Nice place but for the price I was expecting much better food.
Bon service, assiette généreuse (charcuterie & olive), petite carte de cocktails mais sympathique. Belle terrasse, tres venteux par contre (bord du fleuve)
Overall, bonne experience

Un énorme merci à Louise, qui est clairement la meilleure serveuse. Super friendly & super drôle, elle a su nous mettre à l'aise tout au long de la soirée. À la prochaine !!
Accueil incroyable par l'hôtesse en bas, très professionnelle & chaleureuse. Merci à Shems qui a tout fait pour nous installer malgré l'affluence. Le service de notre serveur Henry était irréprochable, & la nourriture excellente (ceviche à tomber !). Super ambiance, parfaite pour une soirée d'été entre amis.
Une soirée à la Terrasse Nelligan vraiment sympa, la vue est dingue & merci à notre serveur Fred pour sa gentillesse, son humour & son service impeccable!!
Ma soeur & moi avons passé une super belle soirée grâce à Fred ! Il nous a mises à l'aise & nous avons eu un accueil exceptionnel ! Il nous a offert des shots de tequila, quelle générosité ! Il a une énergie incroyable, il est gentil & dégage une belle vibe ! Merci beaucoup :)
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!
