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 am surprised to see that for a city that prides itself to be a gastronomic destination this restaurant is rated 4.4 . We had a reservation on a Wednesday & we arrived on time to find that our table was not ready.we had to wait for half an hour to be seated. To my disappointment the appetizers were below average except for the oysters Rockefeller . My biggest disappointment was the plate of French fries as an appetizer for 16 dollars & the pricy appetizers that were certainly not spectacular.one of their main dishes is a 30 dollars hamburger & the rest of the entres were ok but not spectacular. The cheapest bottle of wine is at least 60 dollars & over & the sofa chair that we had was uncomfortable & the tables & chairs in that restaurant are diner style seating & that is not attractive.the service was good but the seating tables & silver was not classy. This restaurant is average & should not be on any body list of the to add on your wish list to visit if you are a fine palate.
il cibo non ci ha entusiasmati. perché proporre la burrata se non può essere quella originale? servizio attento. vista ahimè non degna di nota nella scenario della cena. particolare solo per i tavoli lungo il perimetro del locale. troppa confusione. un gran brusio di voci rovina l'atmosfera romantica o raffinata che il posto potrebbe avere.
Went here for my partners birthday & they truly went above & beyond to surprise him at the end with a cake & the waiter who brought it out even sang him a little part of'happy birthday'. Was so sweet, very reasonably priced, great food & drinks with amazing views! Highly recommend this place!
David P was a great waiter. You can tell her has strong work ethics.
The view was great! But although i adore latin inspired music it felt too' club' like / lets get drunk for 1130am lol i feel like classical, french, italian or old timey vibe music would fit better especially prior to 4pm !
Foood was good! The beets with the tuna weren't that impressive
The tartare was nice there was one thing in it that I didn't really like but overall enjoyed it
The pistachio raspberry would be better without the lemon orrrrrr with more than just a single strawberry cut in half. It was actually really good witj strawberry bites. The' cake' itself was decently moist but you could barely taste the pistachio influences. It was okay! I wouldnt order it again though.
Sans aucune doute la meilleure terrasse de Montréal avec une vue incroyable. Merveilleux plats & cocktails avec un service impeccable. Une mention spéciale pour Charles Antoine, qui était super sympathique & nous a expliqué en détail chacun des plats qu'il nous a servis. Le plat de fruits de mer est parfait - ma photo n'était pas très bonne, mais la nourriture est incroyable ! Cela vaut la peine d'essayer !
Très bonne expérience. Nous avons été bien servis par Daniel P. & son équipe.
J'adore l'établissement qui est central, d'un excellent service & à la hauteur de mes attentes. Merci à toute l'équipe de Terrasse William Gray!

Had a fantastic time with the whole family. Food was delicious. One of the best steaks I've ever eaten, just melted in your mouth. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, & efficient. Our waiter was Mauricio & he was hilarious,made us feel very welcomed, & was great at his job. Would love to go back again & try more of their menu.
Première fois au restaurant Sunroof à William Gray. Superbe vue de la ville & tres belle ambiance! Notre serveur David P. Est super sympa & enthousiaste . Il nous a fait une belle suggestion pour la Sangria & nous a fait une recommandation exceptionnelle pour les entrées & les plats principaux !De temps en temps, il venait s'assurer que tout allait bien. Ce sont les petites attentions comme verser la sangria & débarrasser les assiettes vides & maintenir une table propre qui ont rendu notre expérience culinaire vraiment remarquable. C'est sur que nous retournons a la Terrasse pour d'autres belles occasions ….
David P. Was so nice & accommodating. It was a lovely evening at the Terasse & David made it better with his positivity & above & beyond service. What an asset to the Hotel William Gray!!
