    Wanted pizza after seeing the Montreal Canadiens and asked some locals for a recommendation - we ended up here! The service was amazing! Every person working who we spoke to were beyond friendly and accommodating to our request (putting the toppings under the cheese!) The restaurant was nice and clean. Lots of tables! The pizza was delicious... the sauce, the crust, the toppings.. all good! I'd make it a mission to eat here again when I'm back in Montreal!

    Suite au fait quil ont gagné un concours pour la meilleur Pizzajy suis aller faire un tour. Asseoir la pizza qui a gagné est pas sur le menu. Pour ma part j'ai choisi la spéciale Alto. Un pizza alldress avec bacon et olive croute assezepaisse. Très bonne mais sûrement pas la meilleure en ville... Si beau resto Deco pop art avec musique des années 80. Belle ambiance et service excellent.

    Food tastes great, very consistent and fresh. Staff is friendly. Highly Recommend. I've had most things on the menu, the meatlovers pizza is a great choice, so is the pita gyro, and everything else on the menu.

    Chicken parmigiana sub
    Issan Z.

    Alto is a well-known and popular spot for students around McGill. Since the fire a few years ago, it re-opened as a newer, bigger place, with a nice terrasse and cool mural. The menu is diverse, comprising of Italian, diner and fast-food classics such as pasta, burgers, poutine, etc. We dropped by for dinner and opted for the club sandwich and the chicken parmigiana sub. Food came fairly fast but was underwhelming. The chicken was cut into strips, which made each bite uneven (some bites had little to no chicken). There was a generous layer of melted mozzarella cheese, but it wasn't enough to compensate for the rather bland tomato sauce. The club sandwich had a generous layer of ham, and absolutly delicious fries. I'm a great fan of McDonald-style fries, and Alto's were very similar. I finished the fries in no time and that was my favorite part of the meal. The worst part was the coleslaw, which was cut so thin that the cabbage had the texture of wet yarn. Service was very nice but the food was just ok. I doubt they can optimize everything on their menu when there's more than 100 items!

    Alto Poutine with bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, and red peppers

    This past Saturday, I got the small Alto Poutine that came with bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, and red peppers. Wow, what I got was considered a small? I wonder what large would have been like. It was still steaming after I walked to Place-des-Arts to sit and eat. The fries stayed crispy throughout eating it. It did just fine for filling my tummy and was yummy, though it's not the best or the worst poutine I've had. Additionally, I would recommend the pizza. The Meatballs & Red Peppers pizza was superb and one of my favorite pizzas I've tried downtown. Lastly, I'm glad the cashier listened when I asked for napkins and no plastic utensils. Definitely check this place out if you live or are around the McGill Ghetto!

    Great Pizza .. old school quebec pizza .. probably the best in montreal .. friendly staff .. loved that place .. next time im trying the submarine and a club sandwish

    Chicken souvlaki plate
    Jessica K.

    Finally tried Alto's again since it's re-opening and was really satisfied with my visit. New location is directly across the previous restaurant, conveniently situated near student residences and McGill's campus. It's really spacious, with plenty of tables and an open kitchen concept. From burgers to souvlaki to pasta to dessert, they've got a huge variety of homey, diner-like foods. Despite the longer than average waiting time, the food really hit the spot. I'm a fan of the chicken souvlaki plate and my friends swear by the el Diablo burger. The fries that come with the dishes taste like Costco fries (the deep fried heavenly kind) and the serving sizes are generous. It's open till the wee hours in the morning (4-5am) so it's a great alternative to your average fast food joints.

    Penne with Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken, loved it!

    Great Service, great food!! Had a great experience eating here. Ordered Penne Alfredo with grilled chicken, which I was advised comes crispy also! The grilled chicken was very flavorful and had a slight charred taste which complimented the Alfredo sauce. Alto special (half pictured, half eaten already ‍) so good. Wasn't overly thick on the dough. Tasted great!

    Veggi and grilled chicken burgers for take out
    Crystal Y.

    We ordered 2 burgers (veggi & grilled chicken) for take-out but waited for more than 20 minutes. The flavor was ok.

    This place was amazing. Lots of food choices, great options, shakes are delish, seating is spacious and hip music in the background. Just enjoyable and not too loud. Had a great experience!

    Revisiting No900 six months after my last trip to Montreal and the staff that I'd gotten to…read morerecognize and know by name were not present, and that was slightly sad. However, the staff I encountered this time were just as efficient, energetic, and competent. The pizza, which I chose to build this time, was excellent as always. One word of caution that if you use their online ordering and are therefore routed to Toast or some other order service: I could swear that I was shown that the order would be started immediately and ready in 25-35 minutes. When I arrived at No900 about 25 minutes later I was told that the order had been configured to be ready at a certain time, and that time was about 25 minutes in the future from the time I arrived. I was shown the order info and can't deny the fact...but that isn't what I thought I ordered, so pay close attention to what is shown when ordering online so you get what you want.

    The pizza here is on a top 50 list and it did not disappoint. This was our first dinner in…read moreMontreal. We were one of the last parties to be served on a Friday night. Wish they would have told us it was going to be last call before we tried to order one more drink. The server told us that the bar closed ten minutes ago, and was very apologetic. So we ordered another pizza to go. We also had our last meal there. It was a little busy and they were short-staffed so they did not come around much and it took a long time to get our food that time. But it was worth it. Pizza is very good. So we're the meatballs.

    Montreal now has world class pizza! After many years of coming here and being forced to eat…read morepoutine, smoked meat, great steaks, and Canadian interpretations on various cuisines ... I now have a pizza option that rivals the best of NY, New Haven, and all the rest! Pizza Bouquet is labeled as a hybrid of other styles (NY and New Haven) and they are spot on ... more leaning to the NY version. This is exceptional pizza created by an energetic and passionate staff. I have only been there once, but in that short visit it was obvious that the pizza reflects the people that work there ... creative, fun, unique, and welcoming. They sell several great pies and actually offer both slices and whole pies. I ordered a pepperoni and hot pepper pie but as I sat there I had to get a slice of their upside down pie. While they were both outstanding, I have to say, what I cannot stop thinking about was that upside down slice. That was freaking magical. I would eat it there through because of the complexity and nuances of the actual pizza. Do not let this one sit ... trust me. Overall, this is a destination pizza in my book ,,, welcome to the world of pizza relevance Pizza Bouquet ... you guys do it right. Special shout out to the lovely ladies that danced through the entire preparation of my pie. Loved everything about this place!

    New Montreal style pizza…read more Considering I've not heard of or tried "old Montreal style pizza"; just sayin'. The crust, similar to the NYC pie. Thin, gently crisp, some chew and char. Easily foldable. Follow it up with just the right amount of quality ingredients are brought together in just the right proportions with quirky flair. Upside down pizza (cheese first, sauce on top) or stranger still, a double carb potato pizza. Speaking of, the potato pie is so good. All the ingredients from a potato mille feuille with a hit of fresh rosemary and grana padano atop the well made crust. Rich, creamy, nuff said. Equally good the mushroom with its "mushroom cream" (think a thin duxelles) base, rosemary to season and meaty creminis and motz to round it all out. Finally the sopressatta. I mean, come on, who doesn't love a cheese pie made even more complex with goat cheese, honey and grana padano? Sold by the slice or whole 18 inch pie. Inexpensive. Is it better than the NYC pie? No. But it's definitely not as boring either.

I had researched it beforehand, and with all the excellent reviews and its prime location, I booked a table for 8. Let me tell you, it is one of THE best restaurants we've dined at here in Montreal. Location: It is nestled on the heart of Old Montreal- one of the prettiest parts of the city. Parking spots are found on the street- but be careful as this touristy part is notorious for giving out tickets. The best is to park in the science center garage close by - it's a bit pricy for $35 to park but you will not lose patience scavenging for a spot! The walk is also nice too. The service: We immediately were greeted by a hostess and seated at our table. We had a friendly waiter who provided great suggestions and pairings. He made sure to check on us through our dinner which we really appreciated. Food: Now the best part... the food was delicious!! We had a few appetizers to start: crispy calamari, arancini and a Caesar salad. They pride on their pizza being "authentic" Italian and after taking one bite, you can say yes it is! The crust is cooked to perfection, and they have many selection- we chose a classic margarita for the kids - and salame for the adults. Both were gobbled up quickly! Finally, we had said it was for a birthday celebration. And they brought out two beautiful dessert pizzas!!! I've NEVER tried anything like that before. They were absolutely delicious. Not only did we get one, but TWO which was more then enough for each member in our group to have one (and in my kids case, two or three haha). It was a major highlight to the night! So I definitely recommend coming here to celebrate special occasions as it will leave a memorable mark for you and each guest. I will definitely be back again soon!!!
