Super belle soirée à la terrasse Nelligan! Belle ambiance avec DJ, très bonne bouffe ( le cevice est excellent), cocktails merveilleux, belle vue, & très bon service de notre serveur Fred, qui a été au petits soins avec nous. Nous recommandons & reviendrons assurément!
After months of passing by Terrace Nelligan, I noticed one thing: it's always busy on weekends. Whether the crowd is spilling over from the hotel or flocking specifically to the restaurant, one thing was certain-I had to take my wife there. After all this time, I decided to drop by spontaneously without a reservation, curious to see if the glowing reviews lived up to the hype. One thing that stands out about Terrace Nelligan is the staff. They are truly one of a kind. The team is incredibly observant, anticipating needs before they even cross your mind. It's a rare skill, & it made our experience all the more seamless. What really elevates the service, though, is their attitude-warm, welcoming, & genuinely positive. For us, this wasn't just another night out; it was a Tuesday that felt like a packed Friday, thanks to our servers, Marie & Ann-Christine, who made the evening unforgettable. We initially visited just to enjoy the views from the rooftop patio. Old Montreal has its share of recommended rooftop spots, but in my humble opinion, Terrace Nelligan is a hidden gem. Whether you're seated at the back with a view of La Grande Roue de Montréal or at the front facing the Notre-Dame Basilica, you're in for a rare treat, especially on a sunny late afternoon. We ordered the "Plateau de Fromages & Charcuteries" which was beautifully presented on a wooden board, showcasing an array of cheeses, cured meats, & accompaniments. The variety & quality of the ingredients were immediately apparent, making it an ideal starter to share. Cheeses: The selection of cheeses included both local & imported varieties, each offering a distinct flavor profile. From creamy brie to sharp cheddar, the cheeses were perfectly paired with dried fruits & nuts, adding a delightful contrast to the richness. Charcuterie: The cured meats were equally impressive, with thinly sliced prosciutto, salami, & other artisanal cuts. The meats were tender & flavorful, highlighting the skillful curing process. The inclusion of pickles & olives provided a refreshing tang that balanced the savory elements. Accompaniments: The board also featured a selection of artisanal breads & mini-pickle, which complemented the cheeses & meats nicely. The fig jam added a touch of sweetness, while the grainy mustard offered a bit of heat, making each bite a well-rounded experience. Pairing: We paired the Plateau with a bottle of 2021 Gemtree Dragon's Blood Red Wine. The wine's bold & fruity notes enhanced the flavors of the charcuterie & cheeses, creating a harmonious balance that elevated the overall dining experience. Overall Experience: The "Plateau de Fromages & Charcuteries" at Terrace Nelligan is a must-try for anyone looking to indulge in a sophisticated & flavorful appetizer. The combination of high-quality ingredients, attentive service, & stunning views makes it a standout dish. Whether you're a local or a visitor to Montreal, this platter is sure to impress & leave a lasting impression.
I find myself coming back here on repeat & staying longer than I should. The views are to die for & service is 10/10! The DJ on site sets the perfect mood. They have a very kind manager that goes around trying to ensure everyone is comfortable(really nice guy). The most recent time We had a very patient & accommodating waiter Vashti, he was very attentive to our needs. They have the best Lobster roll in my opinion, it keeps me coming back. The beef tarter wasn't to my liking though, won't order it next time. Oh & don't forget to save space for the dessert, it was divine! Overall, it's one of my favourite rooftops in Montreal.
Great dinner of a few sharing plates with friends. Filet was perfectly cooked & the cocktails were tasty. Excellent view of the city. William's service was great & made the night even better. Larry the DJ's mix was perfect for the vibe. Would definitely recommend.
Great evening on this patio; the food was delicious, the vibes were immaculate (the dj Larry was great) & our waiter William was 10/10. We'll be back!!
