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.
Nous nous sommes arrêtés pour prendre un verre sur la terrasse de l'hôtel, le concept de bulle pour l'hiver est vraiment intéressant, & la vue toujours aussi belle !
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!
Très bel endroit avec une vue magnifique ! Les plats & les cocktails sont très bons, on sent la qualité des ingrédients. Un peu cher par rapport aux quantités servies, mais on paie aussi pour le cadre. Une belle expérience dans l'ensemble !
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.
Elizabeth was an amazing server & this was the best place to celebrate a birthday brunch. The food was phenomenal, service was just on point. The atmosphere was great except for the yellow jackets that were disturbing us toward the end of our brunch. Other than that, basically was a 5 star experience.

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.
Superbe terrasse, superbe vue. Je suis allé brunch un samedi matin pour un anniversaire. C'étais bon, mais pas « oh my god ». La tartinade d'avocat était ok, le plat hashbrown n'est pas un hashbrown mais un gratin dauphinois. Je recommande le chichen'n'waffle & les benedictines.

Atmosphere is very good, food & services are great. The only negative thing is, We had a birthday dinner with family there, we bought the cake ourselves & they charged us 8$/person just to serve our cake for us.
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.
Terrasse William Gray is a restaurant/bar located in what is one of the most beautiful terraces overlooking old Montreal. Food is great & service is accurate & quick, although it's a bit noisy.
