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.
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.

We had an incredible evening at Terrasse William Gray! Everything we ordered including the multiple bottles of wine hit the spot! The Grilled Octopus was the stand out. What stood out even more was the spectacular service provide by Alix! (That's Alix with an I!). She provided above & beyond service & experience! Also a very special mention must go to Noa, who is a fabulous hostess! Looking forward to returning to Terrasse William Gray!
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.
We had a great experience at Terrasse William Gray. The ambiance was beautiful, & the food was delicious. The service was friendly & attentive. However, one disappointing aspect was that we had informed them in advance that it was my friend's birthday, but they forgot to acknowledge it during our visit. They forgot something very important😐 Other than that, everything else was wonderful!

Nous avons passé une agréable soirée avec un repas délicieux & une très belle vue sur le vieux port de Montréal. Nous avons été très bien servis par Elizabeth merci encore pour cette gentillesse & ce très bon service !
Un endroit très agréable ave une vie panoramoque au top sur le vieux port Charlotte la barman, est géniale : cocktails parfait bien préparé & avec le sourire, un régal pour les papilles. Merci Charlotte
La vue est la plus belle de Montréal & je ne parle pas de la belle blonde sur ma photo mais de cette vue sur le vieux Montréal de plus le service des bussboy serveur Alexandro mais quel homme tout droit sorti d'un magasine une soirée réussi SLAYYYY
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!
On a passé une super soirée entre amies sur la terrasse, les drinks étaient bon & la vue est magnifique. Notre serveur Jean-Michel était tellement fun avec notre groupe! C'est sûr qu'on revient pour lui pour un prochain souper de fête!
