Situé au 5e étage de l’Hôtel Nelligan se trouve une terrasse sur le toit accueillant les invités et les locaux pour se détendre, manger, siroter et admirer les vues du Vieux-Port. Incarnant l’élégance urbaine nichée dans une architecture intemporelle, l’espace repensé est conçu pour rehausser votre été avec des cocktails signature, un menu élaboré et une atmosphère décontractée du matin au soir, avec des soirées DJ le week-end.
Terrasse Nelligan offre une vue spectaculaire sur le Vieux-Port et la Basilique Notre-Dame, un cadre chic et décontracté et une ambiance qui rend le rooftop particulièrement agréable. Le service est globalement attentif et professionnel, capable de prendre soin des groupes et de s'adapter rapidement lorsque le rythme s'accélère. Les plats et les tapas proposés alternent entre fraîcheur et saveurs affirmées, avec des coups de cœur pour certains plats comme le ceviche et le saumon grillé, et les cocktails séduisent par leur équilibre et leur créativité. La terrasse rénovée, les vues sur le canal et le soir lumineux créent une expérience mémorable et une atmosphère dynamique sans être envahissante. En été comme en brunch, le cadre attire un public varié et donne envie de revenir pour le coucher du soleil et les lumières nocturnes. Terrasse Nelligan demeure un lieu incontournable pour profiter d'un moment convivial autour de boissons bien travaillées et d'un cadre remarquable.
Two stars are mainly for the view & location. The food is really average. But the main reason that makes me not want to come back is service. They have dropped a phone of my friend while putting cocktails on the table. Table wouldn't get cleaned between services & I got a cocktail with an insect inside. & after all of this when we tried to leave less than 15% tip because we did not enjoy the service, a waitress stood over us telling that in Quebec 15% is the minimum & that's what we should tip. A) It should be our decision how much to tip; B) Tip is not a given, it's a compliment for a good service that we didn't receive unfortunately
Terrasse Nelligan provided an outstanding brunch experience. We indulged in the Moët experience with the seafood tower, along with several delicious dishes. The food was great, & the ambiance added to the enjoyment of our meal. Special mention to our server, Coco, who was absolutely fantastic & made the experience even more memorable with her warm hospitality.
This place is an absolute gem in the heart of the old port! My recent visit was nothing short of spectacular. The dishes were not only beautifully presented but also packed with flavor. The quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The salad was fresh & crisp, the octopus was perfectly tender with a delightful char, & the fries were crispy & seasoned to perfection. Each plate was a true culinary delight. The service was impeccable, thanks to our wonderful waiter, William. He was friendly, attentive, & very knowledgeable about the menu. William made sure our experience was smooth & enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in the city. A special thanks to William for making our visit so memorable. I can't wait to return!

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.
