Review Montreal Plaza - Montreal

I mean… one of the best meals of my life. Such a great time here. The flavours and textures are so creative. Servers were very kind too, no tables left online, but we went in person and were able to find a table for the next week. Stellar dishes, ranging from veggies, meats and fine seafood. Portions were quite generous for the tasting menu (110 per person), reasonably priced. 5 courses, with each course had 1-3 dishes. Ambiance was good too, with music and open doors to let the summer breeze through. Glad we went!

I hate to leave a bad review but this is a place I wouldn't recommend to a friend and had to chime in before you drop hundreds of dollars here like my husband and I did in mid-July 2022. The good: service was great from our servers, someone came by pretty much right away to take our drink orders. They explained the menu and made sure to note all ingredient changes. We went with the $110pp sharing menu which is 4 courses (each course had 2 dishes to share) including dessert. Cocktails were delicious, maybe on the weaker side for those who like booze, but I'm a cheap date so it works for me. First course was fantastic, a tomato & shrimp dish that tasted so fresh. The other was mackerel & salad greens which was also very good. The bad: When the server described the dishes, they sounded really interesting but other than the first 2 dishes, the rest were just confusing. There was a dish with balls of cantelope, peas & mushroom with melted cheese on top served alongside greasy croutons that were also way too big to eat in one bite (server suggested making a bite with everything). The marrow + duck breast + mussels looked very appealing but none of the proteins and vegetables came together in a pleasant way. Not sure if some things just weren't seasoned but it was very underwhelming and one-note. Desserts looked great but the frozen carrot cake was very icy & just tasted like frozen pineapples and did not have enough carrot cake flavor. We love desserts and didn't bother finishing. I think the idea of this menu was to make the food look good rather than focusing on flavors which is a real shame. Before the tip, the bill was nearly $300 and I just felt so disappointed. I've had some truly fantastic meals in Montreal but this was a huge bust and would not recommend.

Killer find. Recommended highly by our friends and family whom reside in Montréal. Fun, laid back service. Beautiful Tuesday evening and the place was nearly full with patio doors open and great atmosphere. Cool and intriguing menu with all the dishes presented with care. The white asparagus with brandy and lingonberry was amazingly delicious. Our server (wish I gotten her name) was genuine and friendly with great wine pairings with each of the courses. They were easily able to accommodate me for being dairy free. I’m definitely going back next time in Montréal.

The entire menu is creative and each plate has lots of texture. Beautifully plated, each dish uses a lot of herbs. Mainly relies on sauces for taste but definitely worth the try. Must try for a gastronomic experience.

The macarons + foie gras was phenomenal. We highly recommend the stuffed chicken wings (though it was a special on the menu so not sure if it’s seasonal), it had a miso egg yolk dipping sauce that was so goood. Mackerel was unique and the fish tartare was paired so well with everything else on the plate. Oysters tasted fresh! I think what Montreal Plaza does really well is pairing multiple things in the same dish together. There’s always a main flavor and something else to cut through it. Heard a lot of great things about this place and glad it lives up to expectations!

Lots of laughs combined with amazing food! Portions: price make the sharing menu a no brainer. Jean Francois (Chad)took care of us tonight …. Bravo to the passion and care you take in your work!

This is a truly beautiful experience, the place is super nice and beautiful. The staff is really nice and kind, one of the best services I got in a restaurant. Foods is incredible and a real taste experience.

Wow was I ever surprised when I came to eat here. A Freind recommended this restaurant to me and I didn’t know what to expect. The food was actually amazing and so was the service. Really cool concept too
