Located on the 8th floor of the William Gray Hotel, Terrasse William Gray is the place to be to soak up the summer season. With a breathtaking view of Place Jacques-Cartier, the St. Lawrence River and Montreal’s Ferris wheel, our terrace offers refreshing summer wines, cocktails, beers and delicious sharing platters. The terrace is heated and equipped with retractable awnings to ensure our guest's comfort during cooler days.
Terrasse William Gray emerges in reviews as a standout Old Port spot with breathtaking views of the city and river, especially from the terrace and the winter bubbles that feel like dining inside a snow globe. The service is consistently praised for being attentive, professional, and friendly, with reservations handled smoothly, drinks served quickly, and staff often making celebrations feel special with thoughtful touches. The food receives high marks for flavor and presentation across a range of dishes, from tartare and duck to seafood and beef, with several standout items and inventive cocktails and wines. The atmosphere spans intimate, cosy dome settings to vibrant rooftop vibes, and the views are repeatedly described as spectacular. The winter domes, heaters and blankets add comfort for cold seasons, while guests note the terrace is ideal for brunch, dates and gatherings. While some dishes can be a touch salty or portions feel small for the price, the overall experience combines great food, excellent service and a remarkable panorama that invites a return visit.

Très belle expérience sur la terrasse de l'hôtel William Gray, une des plus belles de Montréal. Toute une expérience en hiver avec les dômes, qui nous permettent de souper à l'extérieur avec une vue incroyable. Le repas d'hiver en 5 services est très bien composé, les produits sont de très bonne qualité, c'est un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Une attraction en soi.
L'été, la terrasse est tout aussi magique. Très bon choix de cocktails, originaux & à des prix raisonnables.
La planche de charcuteries & fromages est excellente, & copieuse pour 2, avec de bons produits & de bonnes idées de condiments. Les frites maison à la truffe sont à recommander, & le reste du menu très qualitatif
Service impeccable, personnel souriant & disponible.
Réservation fortement conseillée.
Nous avons eu l'occasion d'avoir un dôme pour deux personnes avec une de leur offre. Le dôme était parfaitement placé & la vue était vraiment belle !
Le menu était assez classique mais très bien réalisé. La sauce du canard était très bonne.
Le service était au rendez-vous. Notre serveur Vincent a été très attentif sans être trop présent. Gros shout out à toi Vincent ! Le dôme offre une ambiance plus intime & moins bruyante.
Le paiement total de la facture pour pouvoir réserver est over the top. De plus, il calcule le pourboire sur le total avec taxe.
Sinon, c'était une très belle expérience. Je recommande grandement
** Expérience dans les dômes sur la terrace en hiver. ** Tout était délicieux ! Spécialement le tartare de boeuf & les pétoncles. Tout était très bon, mais ça c'était MALADE ! Une vue incroyable sur le Vieux-Port de Montréal. Le service a été absolument impécable & efficace. Un gros merci pour tout. C'est assurément à refaire.
Un déjeuner délicieux & original dans un dôme douillet. Un service professionnel & courtois par David. Nous avons passé un super moment. Je recommande 😍👍

Absolutely Fantastic. Everything about it was beyond our expectations, including communications before the reservation. The place is stunning but the staff makes it an event hard to forget. The food was amazing, & this is quite unique since we were expecting normal food given that we were already excited just about the location (winter dome). Thank you so much, you were so detailed oriented & you were thoughtful about the event we were celebrating, it means more than you know for this family. Worth it 100%.
I went for the Dome experience with my family & the service was exceptional! Highly recommend this experience for the Holidays & thank you David for the warm welcome xx
Excellent menu à la Terrasse William Grey. Chaque plat du menu Table d'hôte était savoureux, spécialement la morue. L'ambiance du dôme & la vue sont fantastiques! Merci particulier à notre servieuse Julia qui a offert un service personnalisé & attentionné.

Mind-Blowingly Beautiful: The Bubble at Terrasse William Gray ✨
From the moment we stepped into the bubble at Terrasse William Gray, we were transported into a dreamscape of elegance & wonder. Nestled in the heart of Old Montreal, this experience was nothing short of magical. The transparent dome offered panoramic views of the historic city skyline - like dining inside a snow globe!
The ambiance? Impeccable. Cozy yet sophisticated, with plush seating, ambient lighting, & just the right touch of winter charm. It felt intimate & exclusive, like a secret hideaway designed just for us.
& the food-oh, the food! Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor & beautifully plated.
A special thank you to Laura, whose warm & attentive service made the evening even more unforgettable. She was gracious, thoughtful, & genuinely delightful.
Whether you're celebrating something special or just want to treat yourself to an unforgettable night, the bubble experience at Terrasse William Gray is a must. It's not just dinner-it's a unique moment!
Brunch in winter season in a heated dome was a cool experience.
Food quality was good , service was excellent! Highly recommended! Should be booked by OpenTable app or emailing the restaurant. Another time I tried Beef Benedict which was also super tasty!
Amazing dining experience on the winter terrace in the heated domes, came here with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day & Julia was so attentive & took excellent care of us!
Vincent was our host & he was absolutely incredible. Between the prefixed menu in the dome, to our wine pairing- he made the entire experience educational, delightful & ultimately incredible. This was by far & wide the Perfect experience for my husband’s birthday.
