Review Summary

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.

Bonne adresse de poke bowl!! Décor style Boho digne d'un restaurant de la côte ouest. Endroit très rafraîchissant. Vous pouvez manger sur place comme pour emporter. Si vous travaillez & peu de temps de pause, vous pouvez commander à l'avance & passer récupérer votre lunch.

This place does nice poke bowls. I can't comment on other food. Great atmosphere & decor, just missing the beach view if you know what I mean. Service was good, the place was not packed but meals came in about 15 minutes. Food, I had the Tao poke bowl & at first I was skeptical on how good their general Tao could be but in the end I was impressed. The bowls (or plates) is shallow filled with rice & vegetables & this one came with Kim chi. A bit pricey at $20+ but it's just enough food to keep you going. I would definitely go back but it would have to be with a friend that wanted a healthy lunch.

Great restaurant for lunch/dinner - very & delicious fresh meals. I ordered the salmon Poke bowl, it's one of the best poke bowls I've ever had. The staff is also very kind & professional. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area!

A creative menu with a variety of freshly made dishes. Cauliflower tacos, interesting salads, poke, etc. Friendly servers playing a great selection of 80 tunes at lunch

Ate here twice during a one week stay. First time was a late lunch. Our server (Colette?) was excellent & the food was okay but seemed overpriced. We returned another day in the evening where the servers were RUDE, seemed distracted by eachother, & left us standing at the door awaiting a greeting for far too long. There were some other rude things said during the ordering process, we ordered & ate & left. Did not order any alcohol & so once again the price was kinda crazy. I liked their simple menu, the place is adorable & very convenient to where we were staying. Stayed a week in Montreal, ate at a lot of places, these were the only wait staff that we encountered that were not friendly.

Great little spot for a good lunch while you are on vacation in Montreal. The salmon poke bowl is very delicious! Only thing is the seating is a bit crammed so it makes one on one conversation tough but overall a wonderful place & we will definitely be going back.

Came here after lunch rush on a weekday. All members in my group ordered a poke bowl (Tuna, Ponzu Salmon, Tofu). They were nice & fresh! Not used to our poke being served on rimmed, shallow plates, as we're used to deeper bowls, but the presentation was there. The bowls were around $20 each before tax, so it's not cheap. However, we found the portion size to be fair (protein included) with an abundance of ingredients. I had the tuna & they were able to omit the spicy mayo sauce that is usually comes with. Our server was friendly but there were a couple of miscommunications during the ordering process. Fortunately, he did repeat our order & we were able to fix it before it went to the kitchen! We didn't speak French so he was patient with us, & he also mentioned being new to the job. The eatery has a bright, beachy aesthetic. We were happy with our meal here!
