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.
This is a great restaurant, food is amazing as it has always been. The unfortunate part is that the prices went up & the portions got significantly smaller. Spent $90 for me & my two kids, my son needed another meal after.

The food was okay but very simple, & the portions were little for the price. It also took quite long to get served, when it was just rice & the restaurant was far from full.
The service is kind & attentive. & the atmosphere is really nice, particularly for the warm weather.
Leuke, rustig restaurant in een rustige straat in het centrum van Montreal. Het eten is allemaal zeer betaalbaar en erg lekker. De Tao bowl met fried cauliflower en de Chipotle Lime Chicken taco's waren heerlijk.

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.
We haven't had a chance to try food, & that's also a reason to come back, but we did try some drinks, & they were amazingly prepared! The vibe in the restaurant is absolutely perfect! The balance between cozy & chic,with warm lighting, tasteful decor, & music sets the mood of summer vacation.

Le meilleur poke que j'ai mangé : délicieux, frais & bien recherché. Le serveur m'a aidé dans le choix du poke car je ne connaissais pas certains ingrédients. L'atmosphère est très cool avec une belle déco. Je reviendrai à ma prochaine escale à Montréal ✈?
