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.
Très belle terrasse, j'y retournerai sans hésiter. Nous avons essayé la burrata : délicieuse, mais trois morceaux de pain pour un plat à partager & vu la portion de fromage, ce n'est pas suffisant.
Je suis venue diner avec une amie de longue date. Nous avons été servi par Mary loup! Merci beaucoup pour tes bonnes recommandations & tes bons drinks & ton excellent service! Je recommande les newyork sour! À la prochaine

Came here for my partners birthday. The service was excellent, we were well attended to. The atmosphere was amazing & the view definitely worth it. Our evening only fell through with the food being slightly cold & the quality better than average but not memorable. -1 star as the birthday celebrations were given to the wrong person
This place was not all we hoped! Booked a reservation here, hoping it would be the best part of our night as we vacationed abroad. The view is all that was promised, but we felt pressured to order food so that we could sit at a real table & not the bar. The charcuterie board was pretty sad - nothing really innovative & sweet & salty things were all mashed together. Massively overcrowded. I know when I'm being taken advantage of. I feel like this place deserves a very big finger wag.
SUPER expérience, je n'ai jamais fait de review avant mais là c'était selon moi nécessaire! Le service était impeccable, le goût & la qualité étaient au rendez-vous! On nous a apporté des couvertures car il faisait froid, 3 employés nous ont aidé à changer de tables avec la pluie, une amie n'a pas aimé son cocktail & il n'a pas été chargé puisqu'elle ne l'a pas bu. Je n'avais jamais vu ça avant. Pour toutes ces raisons, on va y retourner & je vous le conseille!
