Située au 8e étage de l’hôtel, la terrasse du William Gray est l’endroit par excellence pour profiter de la saison estivale. Avec une vue spectaculaire de la Place Jacques-Cartier et du fleuve Saint-Laurent, notre terrasse offre des vins estivaux aux arômes rafraîchissants, des cocktails et des bières ainsi qu’un menu de plats à partager.
Terrasse William Gray offre des vues spectaculaires sur le Vieux-Montréal et le fleuve accessibles depuis la terrasse principale et les bulles chauffées en hiver, ce qui en fait une adresse prisée pour des moments romantiques, des repas en famille ou entre amis et des brunchs. Le service est souvent loué pour son efficacité et sa courtoisie, avec une équipe attentive qui accompagne les convives sans être intrusive. L'expérience dans les dômes ou les bulles est décrite comme magique et intime, en particulier avec la vue qui donne l'impression d'un décor féérique. Côté gastronomie, les plats sont généralement très appréciés pour leur goût et leur présentation, bien que certains commentaires évoquent des plats légèrement trop salés ou des portions qui paraissent modestes pour le prix. Les cocktails et boissons font souvent sensation, certains mentionnant des choix créatifs et des accords qui complètent parfaitement l'ambiance. Pour les réservations, l'avis général est de privilégier la réservation à l'avance, surtout pour le dôme, et l'atmosphère est décrite comme chaleureuse et raffinée. En somme, Terrasse William Gray est fréquemment citée comme une destination à ne pas manquer pour profiter d'une vue impressionnante et d'une expérience mémorable quelle que soit la saison.
A very nice place for a get together with colleagues, friends & family. We went while it was still warm outside & it was pleasant to have a drink, est & enjoy the rooftop view.
The service was excellent, our server was very efficient & attentive. It was unfortunate that you can only be there for a max of 2 hours, although our server did offer to see if it was possible to move us to a different table.
Everything we ordered was really good & I can recommend without hesitation as we will go back for sure.

Mind-Blowingly Beautiful: The Bubble at Terrasse William Gray ✨
From the moment we stepped into the bubble at Terrasse William Gray, we were transported into a dreamscape of elegance & wonder. Nestled in the heart of Old Montreal, this experience was nothing short of magical. The transparent dome offered panoramic views of the historic city skyline - like dining inside a snow globe!
The ambiance? Impeccable. Cozy yet sophisticated, with plush seating, ambient lighting, & just the right touch of winter charm. It felt intimate & exclusive, like a secret hideaway designed just for us.
& the food-oh, the food! Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor & beautifully plated.
A special thank you to Laura, whose warm & attentive service made the evening even more unforgettable. She was gracious, thoughtful, & genuinely delightful.
Whether you're celebrating something special or just want to treat yourself to an unforgettable night, the bubble experience at Terrasse William Gray is a must. It's not just dinner-it's a unique moment!
Merci beaucoup a Marie-Lou pour une expérience incroyable. On est allé célébrer notre engagement & le service a été excellent. La vue du Vieux Montréal est incontournable à la terrasse, & les Hugo Spritz sont parfaits

Food was hit or miss among the plates. None lower than 3 stars, some were 5 based on everyone's interactions. Fig burrata was definitely good, the fish looked good, cheese plate so so, burger looked ok. Truffle fries were over rated.
They were struggling about with groups & juggling tables but we did get drinks & were direct in getting refills. Waitress did well - not her fault.
We had one issue where it was assumed that the bill would be 1... For 12 people & many had left so the remainders of us got stuck with it. Still had to be paid, but multiple confirmations on 1 bill or several should have been standard operating practice. Again, not to fault the server necessarily.
We stop here on our second day in Montreal - we didn't know where to eat & we decided to give a try at least if the food is not good to have a nice view of the old port.
We arrived without reservation & we got a table with a great view. We needed an extra chair for our staff & the waiter accommodated this request. We get a good selection of meals & at the end we spent 90 excellent minutes with good drinks, good food & a great view . If you have a moment & you want to enjoy food view & drinks give a try & stop by.
Terrace William Gray has a beautiful location & a stylish atmosphere, but our experience was unfortunately marked by poor communication & an overly rigid attitude.
We were a group of 20, & there was a misunderstanding about a minimum spending requirement of 3,000 Canadian dollars, which the restaurant claimed was confirmed by email. Initially, staff insisted that this amount was binding, regardless of what we actually consumed. For quite some time, there was no flexibility & no access to a manager, which made the situation frustrating & unprofessional. This is not something you expect from a modern, industrialized country like Canada.
After about an hour of discussion, the restaurant finally agreed to charge us only for what we had consumed, which we appreciated. However, it should not have required such a lengthy & tense discussion to reach a fair outcome. A minimum of 18% tip is also kind of like putting a gun to the guests head.
As for the food, it was mixed. The crispy shrimp & burrata cheese starters were both very good, but the main dishes were less convincing. The'fish of the day' was small & rather bland, while the alternative, the William Gray Beef Skewer, though nicely cooked, was overwhelmed by a bitter sauce.
The setting & a few of the starters were enjoyable, although too noisy for a high-end restaurant. The service & management approach were far below expectations, however. A more flexible & customer-focused attitude would go a long way toward making Terrace William Gray live up to its potential.

Une expérience exceptionnelle du début à la fin ! 🌟
Le service est rapide & attentionné, les repas sont tout simplement incroyables, & la vue est à couper le souffle 😍
Une qualité A1, autant dans l'assiette que dans l'ambiance.
Je recommande sans hésiter - un endroit à revisiter encore & encore ! 🍽?✨
Terrasse William Gray offers the perfect respite from Old Montreal siteseeing. The terrace seating is ideal for both good & inclement weather, with a retractable awning. The waitstaff were both attentive & excellent with advice.
Une réservation pour 8 personnes a été faite sur la terrasse. Nous avons été placés sur une terrasse à l'arrière sans intérêt à côté d'une machine à glace qui faisait beaucoup de bruit. Une énorme déception! 4 personnes étaient de l'étranger & 4 personnes de Montréal & je pense que les Montréalais recommanderont bien d'autres établissements dans le futur. Dommage!
