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.
We went back twice. Food is fresh & tasty. There is something on the menu for everyone. Chicken tacos were my husband's favorite. Definitely would recommend.

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.
C'est une bonne surprise ! On a été séduit par la façade du restaurant & l'esprit californien dans la décoration & le menu correspond bien à l'ambiance ! Les frites de patates douces sont très bonne & la mayonnaise au curry est très savoureuse ! Le poké poulet tao est assez relevé par contre je ne m'attendais pas à ce que pique autant mais ça reste bon quand même ! Mon coup de coeur revient au carott cake qui est excellent & bien moelleux :) Le service est très bien aussi ! L'esprit californien est bien respecté
Service was great, price was great, interior decoration was solid, & location was phenomenal - but what actually made this a 12/10 for me was the food. Everything else could have been sub par but they still would have got a five star rating from me simply because of the food. I got the Indian bowl, & the flavours were amazing - the highlight being the sauce, which seemed to be tahini-based with lemon & garlic perhaps? I didn't ask, but it was as if hummus actually tasted good & was turned into a sauce. It's really worth a shot, you should try this place.
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
We really liked it, the food is really good. We accidentally spilled some water in the floor & they immediately cleaned it, really nice & comprehensive.
