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.
I really wanted to love this. The igloo setting was cute, but it was a pretty mediocre dining experience. It started out promising with the first two courses, but the rest of them were lacking in flavour, texture, & presentation. For the main course, I asked for the filet mignon medium rare. If it had been rare I would have eaten it without complaint, but it came raw. The few bites I tried (to avoid complaining) were not pleasant. When I asked for it to be cooked more, it came back overdone & had a gamey, rotten taste so I didn't eat it. I don't think it was worth the price (especially with the cost of valet after not finding parking), & I would suggest maybe including a cocktail or glass of wine/prosecco with the set menu.
Dining here was nothing short of magical. Dining with your besties in a beautifully decorated igloo overlooking the city of Montreal, was an experience to remember.
From the moment I arrived, the ambiance was breathtaking. The twinkling lights, cozy blankets, & the soft glow of candles made the igloo feel like a winter wonderland. The view of the city added the perfect touch-Montreal ❤?
The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, making sure everything was just right.
The food? Delicious 😋
Every dish was beautifully presented & packed with flavor. From the appetizers to the dessert, everything tasted fresh & well thought out.
Sipping on a cocktail with my besties while taking in the city lights felt like something out of a dream.
If you're looking for a unique & intimate dining experience in Montreal, this is definitely worth trying.
Would I go back? Absolutely ❤?

Extraordinaire expérience à ne pas rater
Original, savoureux & raffiné
Service pro & très sympathique par Vincent qui se démène pour que tout soit parfait.
Nous n'avons pas vu le temps passer
Un igloo pour nous deux
-20 à l'extérieure, même pas froid à l'intérieur & bien sûr une vue époustouflante
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!
This was an amazing experience our host Mauricio very A+, the food was good the ambience was amazing, watching it snow from the bubble was definitely the cherry on top it was giving romantic scene from a movie. Date night well spent.
