What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the beautiful rooftop views, fresh and flavorful dishes, and laid-back ambiance. Many guests rave about the grilled octopus, refreshing cocktails, and the sunset views over Old Montreal. The walk-in policy is also appreciated by those making last-minute plans. It's often described as “a hidden gem in the Old Port.”

Areas for Improvement

While the no-reservations policy adds to the relaxed feel, it can mean longer waits during peak hours—especially on weekends or when there’s a big event nearby. Some guests note that it’s more of a place for drinks and light fare than a full meal experience. The rooftop can also be a bit breezy on cooler nights, so bring a jacket just in case.
