Venice MTL gets high marks for a fresh, colorful California inspired menu that includes poke bowls, tacos, salads, and burgers, with dishes often described as flavorful and nicely presented. The vibe is modern and cozy, reminiscent of a relaxed Cali beachside spot, and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming with friendly service. The staff are typically attentive and the experience is described as quick and efficient, with many noting good value for the quality and gluten free or lighter, healthier options. The coffee and drinks receive compliments, including a cappuccino and an espresso martini that some guests call the best they have had. The poke bowls are frequently highlighted as among the best in Montreal, though a few reviews report inconsistencies such as dry rice, overly salty seasoning, or smaller portions for the price, and occasional longer waits during busy periods. Overall, Venice MTL is seen as a dependable, casual destination in Old Montreal for groups or couples seeking a Californian inspired, flavorful meal with a relaxed vibe.
Popped in for a late dinner while on a late walk in the old city. Glad I did! Will definitely be back next time I visit MTL. The poke bowl & Burger were amazing.

Un très bon endroit pour boire un verre ou manger un repas, un large choix allant du pokeball au burger, superbe adresse pour se régaler dans un cadre californien !
Nous avons adoré la déco de ce restaurant ce qui nous a donné envie d'entrer. Les plats sont eux aussi excellents, que ce soit les tartines ou les burgers tout le monde s'est régalé.
Another gem in town. Must try chicken burger & ponzu Salmon poke is not same as other poke bowl. Also with drinks we have Sunset boulevard & respect mojito.

Prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is nice. (California surfing theme, including music.) Food is very nice. Poke bowls, tacos, burgers. The sweet potato fries were great. We were a large group (16) & had reservations, but they weren't ready for us. Chaos ensued as we mostly arrived on time. Other diners were displaced as tables were shuffled. Staff was disorganized, but were well aware of the menu. But in the end it all worked out well. It is worth a return visit with a smaller group.
Excellent sevice & amaizing food. I had salmon poke & my girlfriend had burger. Both were terrific. Brownie with ice cream was also very fresh & tasty.
bon restaurant. J'ai adoré l'environnement & le confort. la portion de tacos était petite mais savoureuse. le hamburger était juteux & les frites froissées étaient très croustillantes ! délicieux! le service était bien. Je n'ai pas laissé de pourboire & le serveur m'a donc dit de laisser un pourboire. son service était moyen & elle était impolie, donc pas de pourboire pour elle :) good restaurant. loved the environment & coziness. taco serving was small but tasty. the burger was juicy & the crinkle cut fries were very crispy! delicious! service was alright. I did not leave a tip & so the server told me to leave a tip. her service was average & she was rude, so no tip for her :)
On est proche des 5 étoiles pour cette adresse où l'on peut manger de très bons Poké ou des burgers à tomber. Notre serveuse a été très chaleureuse & nous a accompagnées pour choisir nos plats. Une très bonne soirée pour nous qui venions juste d'arriver à Montréal pour notre séjour au Québec.

Endroit calme où l'on mange très bien, le poke aux crevettes copieux & délicieux, le burger au porc effiloché & ses frites super bonnes. Un serveur super sympa. Je vous conseille
