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.
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.
Such an authentic & cozy place. Just not kid or wheelchair friendly & a bit pricy considering the portion size. Food was delicious though especially tacos. The salmon poke bowl had a weird flavour in it, which I think is from the sea weed, but I’m not sure. If u think it’s not from the sea weed maybe double check with them, could be something that has gone bad.
I came for dinner with a coworker in the summer & we were really surprised at how good the food was. We kept ordering more tacos!
It's not crazy expensive & the music is nice, I would really recommand if you're visiting the Old Port
Very compact, cute little place in the Old Port. Food is decent with good variety. Pricing is ok as well. Tables are next to each other. Good & prompt service, but please shake the "fresh pressed juice", as all the sediments remain at the bottom of the bottle. Verdict : give it a try.
Went for the second time, & it was not as busy as usual. I can still confirm all the stars. Welcoming service, poké was outstanding & it is simply a beautiful spot in the old Port
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

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!
Super accueil du propriétaire
Vraiment un bel endroit & une super ambiance
Nous étions un groupe de 17 & un super service ce midi! Nous reviendrons assurément!
Venice is always my first stop when I arrive in Montreal 😋😋 this place is a small positive haven in the middle of old montreal.
Food is always fresh.
Always on point & you can enjoy every little bit.
We had the salmon poke bowl & the pizza. The restaurant decor is very cute & the food came out very fast for how busy it was. Poke bowl was absolutely delicious & the mix of flavours for what they had in there was amazing.
Une découverte pour moi. Bonne carte, plats élaborés qui se distinguent dans la masse des offres culinaires disponibles aux gourmets. Évidemment, dans ce secteur, il faut prévoir que le stationnement ne sera pas à la porte.
