This place is obviously a tourist and influencer spot. It's known for the views, but only one far side of the restaurant has the great views of downtown/the river. If you're dining here for the views, be sure to specify preference in seating and be prepared to wait! Dining solo there was no wait for the bar. Overall the drinks and food were good, and priced appropriately for the venue. The experience was good overall, but nothing so impressive that we're dying to return. All in all a good spot for a stop, just know ahead what to expect! read more

You just hit the rooftop bar here! Great location, vibe, service, food and the view!!!!! We were so happy they squeezed us in and sat us around the fire pit for drinks and appetizers. Sooooo fun! The staff is very friendly and really welcoming. We loved the drinks but the view is just spectacular. We only got a few appetizers but they were delicious. The drinks were great too. It's such a great spot someone proposed to his girlfriend while we were there. Highly highly recommend! And we will be back for sure. read more

This Terasse has a super dope ambiance! Located on the rooftop of Hotel Nelligan it's the vibe of the summer!! We came in here with a friend for lunch. It was a monday and aparently they don't have their chef on Mondays so we were super bummed because their menu is BASIC! Very few options. We went with the prosciutto and burrata platter and Greek Salad there was not much food unfortunately The food we got was super fresh and deeelish even if it was very limited!! The cheese burrata was amazing I really liked it a lot!!! My cocktail was deelish I had the Morgan Colada yummy totally recommend it it's on the sweeter summer vibe! They do Valet parking here so you can just park your car and enjoyyyy the summer terasse vibe with no headaches Service: Really nice waiters and very professional always coming around to check on us making sure all our needs are met! Overall, I would definitely come back here on a more busier day so we can explore the full menu ! Cheers read more

This place has excellent service. People are amicable and attentive. Their mocktails are good but not worth the price. The food looks very pricey (they add truffle and caviar), but I think that is what comes with a spot in this hotel. Music is loud, so it was challenging to enjoy a chill a conversation with a nice view. Also, it is full of wasps flying around. I'd say it is a tourist trap for the rich and wealthy. read more

Terasse Nelligan is on the 5th floor of Hotel Nelligan in the old port. Nice view, a great selection of cocktails and all sort of alcoholic beverages, however food wise very limited. We were a group of 3 and all ordered Monterey Jack cheeseburger and also order fried calamari too start off. Before I discuss the meal I want to talk about the service and the seating. The chairs were very uncomfortable, kinda like patio chairs and when u sit down specially if you are wearing shorts or short skirt you can feel it cutting and leaving marks on you skin. We asked our waitress if she had something that we can put on top. She said yes and left, after more than 20 minutes she came back with a piece of small cardboard, u know those thing you put under the table to level it. We explained that we wanted cushions or something. She said she can offer us napkins. Anyways we took 4-5 napkins and placed under us. Service was very slow, our waiter was not attentive at all. Although i know many restaurants are having difficulty with staff but this was not the case here as there was many servers, but ours was either not there or not attentive at all. As for the meals, the calamari was great, drinks were wonderful but burgers nothing really special, very normal. read more

Terrasse Nelligan - Moterey Jack Burger with fries - French Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We came to Terrasse Nelligan on our first day in Montreal. It is a beautiful rooftop bar and restaurant that is a must-stop if you are visiting Montreal on a nice day. Our waitress, Jasmine, was truly one of the kindest waitresses that I have ever had and provided suggestions of what to see in the city to not only me and my husband but to other tables she was tending to. She also gave us recommendations on food and cocktails while we were dining, all of which were delicious! There are a wide variety of cocktails and I loved that they offered pitcher options which made the drinks much more reasonably priced. The only thing that I would mention is that we had booked a 1:30 pm reservation on Open Table and were hoping to push our reservation to 2 pm since we were exploring the city. It said in the app we had to call the restaurant in order to change our reservation but after calling 5 times, we were never able to get through to anyone. We left a voicemail around 11 am asking for someone to call us back to confirm our reservation was changed but that never happened. We arrived for our 1:30 pm reservation on time since it stated there would be a fee if we did not show up on time and the hostess did not acknowledge that we had left a voicemail (so they clearly had not been checking the mailbox). Not a big deal but just want to note that if you need to get in touch with the restaurant, it is not done easily. read more

Great night out in the middle of old port with a beautiful view on the waterfront! Valet parking downstairs so getting to the place is not a headache. The service was amazing, with our waiter William going above and beyond to ensure we have everything we need for the whole night and the manager, Kamel, personally bringing out our entree and checking up on us throughout the night. We were also treated with some amazing desserts :) The dj set was amazing and the music was just loud enough to set up a perfect atmosphere & quiet enough to be able to have a conversation without needing to yell over the music. The whole atmosphere of the place is very vacation-style! We had a very good night & will be back again! read more

Catchy, ambient music, great views of the Notre Dame Basilica, and a nice bar make this a fun place to meet up for a drink. We went once during the day while rain poured around us and once at night. The cocktails are up to par but not outstanding. The ambience and views more than make up for it, in my opinion read more

I imagine there are spots with a nicer view, but you'll be hard pressed to find them. Appetizer portions were small, but incredible. Got the sea bass & the tuna. Service was excellent. Prices aren't horrid, but you are gonna pay. Still, if you catch a breeze up on this roof top, you'll feel like you are sitting amongst the clouds. read more

The food was delicious but not as good as the service. Florence was an AMAZING waitress, she was kind and honest and helpful. The ambiance was also perfect. Would definitely come back. read more

Fabulous view of all the architecture in the city. A wonderful sunset and setting. Service left a lot to be desired as did the menu and food. Ordered two salads that did not come with lettuce or greens. Both over salted and over dressed. read more

My sister and I resumed our monthly brunches. We decided to reserve a terrace. At hotel Nelligan in old port, on the 5th floor, the beautiful terrace welcomes you with open arms. The staff are friendly, amiable and super hygienic. I started my brunch with a grapefruit mimosa; it was lovely and soothing. Then, we started with mushroom quiche and pastries as appetizers. The quiche was delicious, flavorful and it had a stunning presentation with apple coleslaw on the side. The pastries were unremarkable. The main dishes were a letdown. It had a sloppy presentation. The salmon Benedict was so bland. The energy bowl (chickpeas, eggs, chickens, green beans, walnuts, corn, bok choy, and avocado...) was soaking in a pond of oil. Both main dishes were not finished. The prices were little bit high for the quality of food. In overall, the best part of this terrace was the service. read more

Negative stars if possible. Sub-par to any standards. The menu has 4 options for entrees and a few more for appetizers, none of which looked appealing. I came here with my friends, visiting Montreal for the first time, and as a recommendation from a Montreal native. It took 20 mins for my one cocktail to come out. Another hour and half for my food, which was 2 pieces of bread, a ball of burrata, 3 pieces of prosciutto and a drizzle of olive oil. They forgot about, and then messed up my friend's order, which was a simple veggie burger with no mayo. TLDR: The service was extremely slow. The view was disappointing. The food was mediocre at best. And, it was a maze to find the women's bathroom. Not worth my time or money. read more

Dinner with a beautiful view on Old port Montreal. Friendly and caring service, great cocktails. The reason I'm rating 4 stars is because I the menu wasn't rich enough. It is limited with small choices. However it is definitely worth putting in your bucket list. It is a lovely place. read more

Ok I had a pretty good time here! I went for a business lunch and ordered from their special lunch menu. I had the strip loin steak with fries and the tomato basil gazpacho. During the weekday lunch time it's not busy at all! We took a reservation just in case. My lunch companion thought the customer service was poor but I thought it was quite okay. Normally I don't go for cold soups but I surprisingly really enjoyed the gazpacho and found myself slurping it up in a matter of moments--it had a nice umami kick it to it and freshness from the basil. The steak was a little bit tough in some places but overall quite satisfactory and I can't believe I ate the whole plate of fries. They're good fries when they're not too greasy. On a warm sunny day sitting in the shade is quite pleasant, especially when there's a bit of a breeze going on. When you're seated you can't actually see very much in terms of view but it's nice to have rooftop experience. read more

Went for brunch with a group of friends. I didn't have high expectations, it's a terrasse in the old Port in tourist season but figured food would be ok and I'd have a good coffee. The terrasse is very nice. Pretty spacious and lots of tables. They were able to accommodate 12 of us and we only reserved 2 days before. The food was ok. I ordered the eggs Benedict, the Hollandaise sauce was broken and the chorizo ended up being 2 thin slices. Definity not worth $19. Their coffee machine was broken so I couldn't have coffee, which was pretty dispointing. The service wasn't great. Our waiter forgot one of our friends had already paid and became aggravated. When our friend showed him the bill the waiter calmed down. Quite unprofessional. Overall, there are so many better places to go for brunch! read more

We waited over an hour with no food. Not only that no one apologized on top of that they attempted to charge is for food we didn't even get. Awful NEVER GOING back EVER read more

It's on a rooftop. How do you get up there? Enter from the hotel and it's 5th floor. It's a gorgeous view of the river and Vieux Port. The cocktails are priced well around 13 CAD. The sangria Claire was refreshing after spending hours in the sun. The food and service was okay. My friends got the fish tacos and I had the sky burger. Apparently you could only get the burger well done, which i found surprising. Even though it was well done, it wasn't dry and it was seasoned well. It was a busy Sunday evening and it took our server a while to get back to us to take our order, which wasn't a issue. She seemed rushed the whole time. I would return for drinks on the rooftop after dinner or before dinner-somewhere else. Location, ambiance and views are a 5. Food- 3 stars. read more

Terrasse Nelligan - Sangria Claire. - French Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Need a separate listing for CAFE NELLI (on the main level of Hotel Nelligan. We were walking old Montreal looking for a place with good GF options (my wife being gluten intolerant), after abandoning a different restaurant where we had booked Friday night reservations. That place (Mangiafoco) supposedly known for their GF Neopolitan, did not have it. What a delight to find Cafe Nelli across the street with several low gluten options. It's a hidden gem, (I assume) because it's the lower level of the Hotel. Our waiter Nathan was awesome. My wife had grilled salmon on a bed of pureed beluga lentils with veggies, I had the chicken which came with sweet potato fries (literally, cooked to perfection and the best I've ever had). Destination restaurants get all of attention, but sometimes get too puffy about themselves. Cafe Nelli was a delightful find... very reasonable too! read more

A lively rooftop atmosphere in Old Montreal above the Hotel Nelligan. The terrace is a popular hotspot for locals and tourists alike, and is a perfect breather when spending the day in the Old Port. The sangria is nice to share, and there is a decent menu for nibbles too. Depending on the humidity, there are too often wasps flying around, less of a problem on a breezy day. read more

Went here for drinks last night. Drinks were okay, I got a Strawberry cocktail and it didn't taste like much. My boyfriend got the Ginger Cocktail which was also okay. Everything was pretty watered down. What you're really paying for is the rooftop and the happy hour vibes. read more

Terrasse Nelligan - French Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Good restaurant - breakfast good variety. Boutique Hotel very well maintained. Went in early November easy walk to Notre Dame.

This hotel SMELLS the minute you walk in the door. It's a very old hotel and desperately needs renovation. The authenticity of its "old ness" is no longer charming. Even taking the elevator & walking up the stairs that spill out to the terrasse above is also a smelly experience and not in a good way. Will not go back. read more

Nice view, friendly service and yammy cocktails, the combination of all three makes it a perfect place for after-work drinks or to meet your summer date for pre-dinner drinks. It is a little pricey than your usual local lounge bar, but the location and atmosphere will compensate for that. Our service was very nice and attentive, even when it got a little busier. Definitely a cool place to try for your next mid-week evening out. read more

Terrasse Nelligan - French Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I never, ever write Yelp reviews: positive or negative. My experience here was so fascinatingly negative and shockingly underwhelming that I feel compelled to do so. After being sat for drinks, we waited over 30 minutes to have anyone stop by our table and ask for our orders. This was, of course, after we asked two separate servers to place our order. So, we placed our order. Twenty minutes later, our waiter (I call him that only out of pure generosity because he accomplished none of the tasks one would generally expect a waiter to accomplish) stopped by and, despite being faced by empty water glasses only, asked if we were good. Alas, how can I be good, I've been at this bar now for about an hour without ever receiving a drink. He was shocked(!) that our drinks had never arrived, even though presumably he was the one who would be bringing them. He promised they would arrive shortly. They never arrived, we left 20 minutes later. Nice views, though. read more

My cousin who attends college in Montreal recommended this to us, mainly for the view from the rooftop. Went around 2 pm on a Saturday morning. No wait for a party of 4, but the place was a bit crowded. Although it was nice to be outside on a sunny, warm day, it was really hard to get a great view unless you are one of a lucky few tables at the end of the restaurant. Our server was very friendly, took the time to make good recommendations and bring out a special birthday treat for someone in our group. I think the drinks are probably stronger for this restaurant than the food, the white sangria was delicious. Very sweet, light, but still with a decent amount of alcohol. Out of the food that we ordered, the squid ink linguini was prob the best. The chicken taquitos were average, and my least favorite was the poutine. Overall a great place to check out on a day with good weather, especially tourists. Probably would recommend to get drinks here vs getting dinner. read more

Drinks were fine. Service was a bit slow. Beef skewers were very tough. Wait staff was good.

Didn't have much of a wait, on the 5th floor. Very hip place, quite lively and fun rooftop bar. Decent view but there's only limited sun exposure. A few of the other rooftop restaurants were drinks only but this place had food! A bit on the pricier end though. Wouldn't recommend, maybe just have dinner somewhere else beforehand and hit up another Terrence for drinks only and chill. read more

While on a girls trip to Montreal, we stopped into Terrace Nelligan at the Nelligan hotel for some roof top drinks since we were in the Old town area. It was a Sunday night around 7:00 pm. We had no trouble getting a table which was surprising since in NYC where we are from, it is impossible to get seating on a rooftop on a really nice night. They have a lot of different cocktails and we tried a couple that were all very good. I would recommend this place for a drink on a nice night. I didn't try the food so can't give any feedback on that. read more

This place has a spectacular view and ambience. And being part of the Nelligan, it has style and cachet. Unfortunately, unlike the other restaurants in the Nelligan, the staff seem overwhelmed. I had instant service from the maitre D' to find me a seat (great) and then waited for 20 minutes to be served at the bar. At the end of the night when I asked for my cheque, it was delivered with no customer contact at all... I was handed a machine by the young lady and had to navigate the vendor menus before getting to mine while she was busy doing other things. The food here is not bad, and in my past visits the service has been earnest if strained, but tonight it was simply inadequate. read more

My favorite place thus far in Montreal. Don't be stupid, come here. It's located in the best area and the atmosphere is amazing. The lobster poutine was the best dish I've had in Montreal and quite possibly in the past few months. Our server Alexis was incredible and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and make incredible recommendations. The bartender Jordan made incredible cocktails. You must see this place if you come to the Old Port of Montreal. It is a must go stop! read more

I grant this place 3.5 stars. Located in the heart of Vieux Port, it has exception views of the water. I came here with a group of friends for brunch, we had a reservation, but still had to wait just a little while, that was okay because it was a beautiful sunny day. The menu for food isn't all that extensive, there weren't many options for brunch, which was kind of disappointing. There were crepes, burger, lobster poutine, and some other options. I was feeling like treating myself so I got the lobster poutine, it was pretty good, but very expensive at $25 for a small-ish portion. The drinks menu was good. There were a lot of very interesting and refreshing options, but once again it was pretty expensive, on average $12-$15 per drink. The service was fine too, the waiter was funny and a little weird. If I were a tourist and in Vieux Port, I would visit this place for the view and decent food, but as a local person, I probably wouldn't go again. read more

We were a table of 5 and sat facing the kitchen and preparation area we see everything that goes on as we wait for our order. We had to wait over an hour for our food. A service- bus boy is in the kitchen area to bring out the plates for clients he touches all the plates and puts crouton type crackers on each of the client plates with his bare fingers. Yes, bare fingers. Moments later he scratches his head with both hands and rubs his hair with the same unwashed hands and proceeds to manipulate more food without utensils. He tastes the cracker pops one in his mouth and then wiped his face with his hand. This happens more than once in a short period of time. Plates of food are sitting on the shelf area for food that is ready and waiting to be brought to the clients it's getting cold. They are there for a long time, at least 10 minutes this young man is confused he is alone and nothing is moving. He keeps reading the notes on the orders it looks like he does not understand - there is nobody to help him- I loose my appetite. Several of the staff have eaten the French fries, crackers and ham in the same way with their fingers in the service area. This also includes the manager. This is true, and very serious. Seriously? After I told the manager about this he told me this is usual that preparation is done with bare hands. I asked if it is normal to wipe your face and scratch your hair too without any hygiene or gloves when handling food? Now I feel very nauseous as I write this review. It was disgusting, the waiter was a nice guy but could not say or do much, as for the manager he said he'd speak to the busboy- not sure if there was never any coaching before why would there be any now? read more

We were wandering around Montreal looking for a spot to grab a drink and I suddenly looked up and saw people on the roof. I immediately knew where I wanted to go lol. We weren't quite sure how to get there, but inquired at the hotel below who sent us straight up through their elevators. At ~11:30am on a Saturday this place was getting busy, but we happily found 2 spots at the bar. We both settled on cocktails and I found the bartenders to be more than helpful. They helped me narrow down my choice and I selected an Ice Wine cocktail. I was even more pleased when I saw the bartender sample my drink before giving it too me, that was good bartending! Didn't eat anything, as we were headed elsewhere for lunch. read more

OK so I have been these four tresses Nelligan, William Gray, Place D'Armes, and Sur L'Auberge. They are all within 5min walk of each other and all almost the same, I wonder if they are operated by the same company? Here is my dilemma, the settings are great for all of them nice view and good ambiance, the food and drinks however severely lacking especially for the price! So I am ranking Neligan as the best (4 stars maybe) - best drinks and ambiance! The other 3 all get three stars because...15 dollars a drink and it tastes like they poured a premade cocktail mix... and the food is very lacking $20 dollar lobster role on a chewy dry hot dog bun with little scraps of lobster claw! Although I should say that the drinks and bartender quality is better at Neligan and so is the ambiance! I will post the same review for all four places. read more
