What People Say

Reviews consistently praise the panoramic views, especially at sunset, and the creative, flavorful dishes ranging from fresh seafood to gourmet burgers. Guests love the vibrant ambiance and say it’s a “must-visit” terrace in Montreal. Service is often described as “friendly and fast,” which is a big plus for evening plans.

Areas for Improvement
