Venice Mtl offers a California inspired menu with poke bowls, salads, tacos and burgers featuring fresh, well presented ingredients, and the salmon ponzu poke and crunchy chicken bowls are frequently highlighted as standout options. The vibe is calm, modern and inviting, with a cozy, beachy feel that many describe as welcoming for friends, family or a casual date; service is consistently warm and attentive, and the coffee and other drinks are a nice complement. Poke bowls are often praised as among the best in town, though a few notes point to high prices and small portions for the cost, and a few visits mention longer waits during busy times. The menu also appeals to gluten free and health minded diners with lighter, vibrant dishes and vegetarian friendly options, making Venice Mtl a reliable and popular choice for a relaxed, flavorful meal that many guests are keen to revisit.
I had a great experience at Venice MTL Vieux-Montreal.
The atmosphere is warm, cozy, & friendly.
The chef & owner were very welcoming & kind.
The food was delicious & high-quality 😋
Great location with parking nearby.
For adults, I recommend the poke bowls. For kids, the cheese pizza & cheeseburger with fries are great options.
Highly recommended 👌
Venice Restaurant consistently delivers a cozy, well-designed atmosphere. Their poke bowls are among the city's finest, particularly the fresh & flavorful salmon ponzu. Complemented by excellent coffee & high-quality ingredients, it remains a premier destination for a reliable, vibrant meal. The inviting vibe makes every return visit worthwhile.

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.
Thank you to our waiter Pierre Alexandre you really made our experience special.
The service & the food were both great, we had the Tuna poke bowl, it was to die for !
We will definitely be back !
It's always good to go to Venice Restaurant, the vibe & the design are nice & cozy. They have one of the best poke bowls in town, & the coffee was great too. Try the salmon ponzu, it's absolutely delicious, the ingredients are fresh too.
Superbe adresse au coeur du Vieux-Montréal ! Venice MTL propose une cuisine fraîche, colorée & savoureuse, inspirée de la Californie.

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.
Ordered the tuna & tofu poke bowls & they were nothing special. The fish didn't seem too fresh & the flavours were lacking, with deceiving portion sizes (big bowl but the food was spread out thin making it look full). Super overpriced as well, would not recommend if you are looking for a good poke bowl in town.
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.

I've been coming here for so long, since before Covid & I've always enjoyed the food & service. My go to is the poke bowls but I've had their tacos & other items which have been equally delicious. I also have their cookbook which I've made some recipes from & it tastes really good!
Best 90s Playlist of music during dinner. Some of the best tacos & poke bowl I've ever eaten. Excellent stop to eat after enjoying the basilica aura light show.
