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 offers an unforgettable Old Port experience with stunning views of the city and the river, whether perched in the heated domes in winter or enjoying the terrace in warmer months, paired with consistently attentive service and a menu that blends flavorful dishes, standout seafood, and creative cocktails; the atmosphere is cozy yet refined and the dome and brunch experiences are often highlighted for the quality of food, presentation, and views, making it a go-to spot for celebrations, gatherings, and relaxed evenings alike.
Haven't been yet for a full supper I mainly go there for wine tasting or just enjoy the view on the rooftop with some friends & appetizer so meaning that my rating could change in the future but what I can say is that the service is always on the spot with this place they never miss the chance to explain the different type of bottle that they have & do recommend so I always leave this place with a positive experience & the view is simply perfect & that for any type of weather but mainly during the summer. Can't wait to try a full meal with them!
Really nice spot to begin your day in the Old Port. Brunch menu is pretty good. Food came out fresh & hot. Drinks were nice as well. The service was really slow but nice enough. What's really the selling point are the views.
Lovely rooftop terrace with great ambiance. They have many heaters near the bar so it was very warm. Food was pretty good but not amazing; the selling point here is definitely the view! Service was friendly, but drinks were slow to come. Second round was ordered before our mains came, but didn't arrive until after we already finished the mains. Also, they did not ask proactively about dietary restrictions.
A cute spot, limited menu, decent service, to bad the chef isn't familiar with how to cook a steak to order. If you're going to charge those prices, there should be a competent chef in the kitchen. Meh. Great view, food is pedestrian.

The rooftop terrace is phenomenal & the views are stunning! From the time we entered the building, till the time we left, we were treated to outstanding customer service! The food was tasty & had great presentation.
Lovely terrasse. Nice view of the Old Port. We came on a windy & rainy day. Luckily, they had a temporary roof & heaters. The staff were really friendly. We had the burrata as an appetizer. It was good but not amazing. On the other hand, the beef tartare & the orrecchiette were delicious. This place is worth going to on a warm & sunny day.
Noisy, a bit crowded. Would be nice if they had better tables / chairs & set it up more spaced apart. Food was mediocre, especially for Montreal. Service was slow but very friendly. Great view, good spot for a drink.
First night in Montreal & this was the pick. Killer view & staff where on point. Food was excellent & tasty. Drink menu could use some expanding as their "signature drinks" seemed pretty standard for all of Montreal after eating at other places for the weekend. Perfect first night date spot or special night out! Will return again for the view & food!
We came here for the brunch & the view & we were very satisfied by both. We ordered the chicken with waffles & the chorizo with poached eggs, along with with a cappuccino & latte. The food & coffee was delicious & the service was excellent
Food was quite good. The rooftop is so beautiful & the views are stunning. Our server, Elizabeth, was absolutely wonderful. So courteous & helpful & professional.

While the location & views at William Gray in Montreal's Old Port are undeniably stunning, my recent visit for brunch left me somewhat disappointed. As a group of four, we were informed that only the brunch menu was available until 4pm on weekends, which was a bit of a letdown as we were hoping for a lunch experience on the terrace. The steak & eggs I ordered turned out to be quite average, with the steak lacking seasoning. However, the rest of the dishes were enjoyable. The service was attentive & the staff were friendly. Overall, my experience was good, but the lackluster food quality & limited menu options for weekend lunches may deter me from returning specifically for brunch.
