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.
Service was great. I was looking for vegetarian options & they listened & catered to it beautifully. I was happy with the meal options We were there for 3 course brunch inside the dome & having the dome for ourselves was amazing Fruits were so fresh & loved the sweet potato pancakes
I organized a team Christmas dinner at the winter domes. We had a wonderful time. Food & drinks were delicious & good quality. Mauricio gave us an excellent service. He was very friendly & attentive.

We had a great experience! We went for the brunch experience in a dome on the patio. Our server Kevin was the sweetest. He took the time to answer all our questions & suggested some good options. He made this whole experience even better! Great experience & would recommend for any special event.
Went for a 5 course tasting menu with the wine pairings. The food was fine but incredibly rushed. 2 hours for the 5 services (& that price!) is rather insulting. Had we been given an extra 30 mins the service would have been a four. I expected higher end pairings as well - Blanquette de Limoux is definitely not it as a course with bubbles. The dome is cute & cosy, but they are looking tired & scratched up. It's also a really tight fit as the table is huge & I felt bad for our waiter hunched over, serving our dishes. I did however greatly appreciate that the music was not too loud & that the temp control in the dome was good. We did not feel cold at all, despite the need for our server to open the door to bring our dishes. In fact, they did very well on ensuring the dishes were served at the right temperature by bringing everything in an enclosed trolley & an extra person to quickly hand the dishes to our server.
We went in their dome experience & it was absolutely amazing. The server was super nice & gave amazing recommendations for food & drinks. You can see the old port into the distance & they even had a small fireplace to roast marshmallows. The food was absolutely amazing. Each dish did not disappoint. This is definitely something I would bring people to who are visiting Montreal for the first time. I highly recommend this place especially during the winter. It gave off a nice cozy date night vibe!

Nous sommes allés avec des amis expérimenté le souper au Dôme d'hiver 5 services. Cela a été d'une expérience agréable que je recommande à tout le monde! Notre serveuse Julia a été d'une expérience agréable plus grand plaisir! Une vrai perle.
I went to the winter brunch in a dome. It is so overrated please save your money & go somewhere else. For 65$ plus tax your coffee isn't even included & the food is not even that good… yes the domes are "cool" but that's about it, maybe at night it has a better ambience. I'd rather go to another brunch place in old Montreal to be honest.
Such an amazing & whimsical experience in the terrasse's domes! Food was impeccable & the service provided by Julia was the perfection addition to the entire experience. So happy we came!
Dome dinning on a beautiful terrace overlooking old Montreal. It was snowing which only added to the experience. Awesome night! Food was delicious, with several course & a great selection for all. We even got a visit from the chef & the service was impeccable!
Magnifique terrasse extérieure ouverte été comme hiver. La nourriture est délicieuse & j'ai adoré l'expérience hivernale dans le dôme chauffé. De plus, la vue sur le quartier historique du Vieux-Montréal est à couper le souffle!
Mauricio, our waiter, made our experience as a group of four very special! He was so attentive, he knew the menu well, & he always made sure we were okay. Service was fast, food was amazing, & the dome was perfectly heated. Would definitely recommend for double/triple dates!

Ma soirée dans les dômes de la Terrasse William Gray a été une escapade enchantée. Le décor hivernal, avec une vue saisissante sur la Grande Roue, crée une atmosphère magique. Julia a été l'étoile de la soirée, offrant un service exceptionnel & chaleureux. Le wagyu, préparé avec finesse, a été le point culminant gastronomique. Une expérience unique à Montréal où chaque détail contribue à une soirée mémorable.
