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.
Les plats étaient très bons surtout le Shawarma au magret de canard. Par contre déception pour le tartare de boeuf ... il y avait plus de frites & de toast que de tartare & la qualité de la truffe n'était pas au rendez-vous. Sinon très bon respect des cuissons & assaisonnement pour le reste. Belle surprise côté carte des boissons & des cocktails nous avons été comblé Service rien à dire, petit oublie sur un plat, mais sinon nous n'avons manqué de rien & ont été aux petits soins tout le long. Le cadre & la vue sont sympa, belle ambiance & belle décoration. Je vous recommande tout de même d'y passer.
A big shout out to Elizabeth & Antoine who bought made my girlfriend & I first time coming to the terrasse more exceptional & special. The smiles they served & service they provided along with the small things they both did at individual times whether it was taking away our plates & switching them out for clean ones or assisting us with picking what to eat..I appreciated it , we appreciate it. Also I let Elizabeth know that i have a deadly allergy & she reassured me that she got my back! Looking forward to returning there again! Thank you William Gray!! Salmon was great, I almost got 2 more on top of my initial one!! Definitely recommend this place, make you feel like this type service should be the norm, warm hearted people with a warm welcoming service.

Nous avons passé un dîner vraiment parfait sur tous les points. La cuisine était excellente & en bonne quantité. Le service était au top & notre serveur très attentionné. & que dire du cadre & de la vue de la terrasse ! En plus le restaurant nous a offert le dessert au chocolat à l'occasion de l'anniversaire que nous fêtions ! Vraiment je recommande a 100% !
Incredible views, fantastic food, great service, & reasonably priced! Definitely a spot I'd recommend to anyone visiting Montreal. The menu is unique & creative, & the food was prepared excellently. They clearly care about what they are serving up & not just getting by on the location & views. Service was friendly & accommodating. Honestly an all around treat for both the eyes & the stomach. Highly, highly recommend!
Laura est vraiment attentionnée, prête à nous assister pour toute demande,merci beaucoup pour les recommandations!! & Carla est la meilleure hôtesse du Québec!!!
What an awesome experience. The staff is super nice, welcoming & efficient. The service was quick, food was excellent. Had an amazing time. The reservation system is a bit intense with a few SMS to confirm! But I guess too many ppl reserve & never show up. I definitely recommend
We came to terrasse William with my family a week ago & had such a good experience! The hostesses Carla & Noa took such good care of us! They even gave us recommendations of things to do in Montreal! Our bartender Alex was also amazing! He made the best drinks ever! I highly recommend this terrasse!
En arrivant au 8e étage, vous serez tout de suite frappé par la vue magnifique sur le vieux Montréal, & le panorama du fleuve. Notre serveuse Élisabeth a été parfaite & très à l'écoute de nos besoins. Le choix des cocktails était difficile tellement ils donnaient tous envie d'être dégustés. La qualité des plats était également au rendez-vous, à la hauteur du reste de notre expérience. Je recommande chaleureusement la Terrasse William Gray!
Très belle vue sur le Vieux Montréal. Le saumon était exquis & bien présenté. Merci à Laura pour sa recommandation de vin, elle était souriante & très attentionnée. Magnifique soirée pour ma fête.
Succulent repas. La serveuse Laura nous a fait une très bonne recommandation de vin blanc pour accompagner le saumon. La vue était splendide. Je recommande sans hésitation.

We had a lovely lunch today . The food was delicious & the service was amazing . We were served by Alix who was very attentive & came by multiple times to make sure we were all right . We didn't feel rushed at all despite staying there for over 3 hours while the restaurant was busy . The views were really nice too . Definitely recommend!
So happy of our experience. The food was really good, & Emmanuelle took good care of us. Totally recommend to go there!! I took the bavette & it was excellent!
Une expérience culinaire exquise avec une touche personnelle grâce à Emmanuelle, notre hôtesse attentionnée. Son professionnalisme & sa gentillesse ont vraiment ajouté à notre plaisir de la soirée. Les plats étaient délicieux, présentés avec élégance, & le service était impeccable. Une adresse à recommander chaudement pour une soirée mémorable.
Expérience bulle ce soir avec un groupe de proches! Julia a été extraordinaire comme hôtesse 😁 Décontractée & connaissante! Fortement recommandé, & au plaisir de se revoir pendant la saison chaude 😊
