Review Summary

Venice Mtl is widely recognized as a charming, California-inspired retreat in the heart of the Old Port, praised for its vibrant, cozy atmosphere and consistently fresh, high-quality poke bowls, burgers, and tacos. While many guests rave about the healthy menu options, creative cocktails, and friendly, efficient service that makes the restaurant a go-to spot for both casual lunches and relaxed dinners, some visitors have expressed concerns regarding rising prices, smaller portion sizes, and occasional inconsistencies in service speed or food seasoning. Despite these mixed remarks, the establishment remains a popular, well-decorated destination that captures a refreshing, beach-like vibe, earning frequent recommendations for its unique decor and overall inviting experience.

The food is overpriced for its value & there's almost zero service. The server basically didn't talk at all, we had to ask for water glasses, utensil, & he brought them without saying a word nor any facial expression.
Sadly, we used to love this place, we have been here more than 20 times, & I think it was the last time today.

We visited Venice MTL Vieux-Montréal tonight with a group of friends, & we had an amazing experience!

Everything was outstanding-from the warm & welcoming atmosphere to the excellent management & friendly service. The food was incredibly fresh, high-quality, & absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor, & you can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients.

We truly enjoyed our evening & will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in Old Montréal. 100% recommended!

Sad to see how this place has gotten worse & worse over the years. Used to be a great spot for a nice meal & drink, but it now feels rundown, music not well adjusted, some lightbulbs not working. Zero service. They just bring food, & collect the bill. My'bowl' had no dressing at all. Not going again.

I found the place on my maps looking for options to eat near the Basilica. The food was fresh, we tried the poke bowls & my son had a burger. The decoration is nice lot of beach California vibes.

Disappointed with the vegetation Portobello mushroom burger. For the price it's not worth it.

Food & design great. The waitress did not smile a single time. I think its part of the job to smile to customers

Cute little place next to the old town. Loved the quirky decorations; the staff was very friendly & efficient. My salmon poke bowl was delicious, & the cocktails were creative & tasty.
