I decided to try this spot for my birthday. Overall, a truly fun and unique dining experience. Service was attentive and flexible with change, as needed. The creative aspect was fun, at times, the "show" dragged as the courses were being prepared. The food that most reviewers are complaining about, is the most creative part. Clearly playing with your food, and eating mostly fresh and pureed veggies, is not for those people. I loved the steak course, the most. Desserts, less so, sadly...and typically my fave course. Beet carpaccio was great. The puzzle aspect, cute. A fun date night. In most aspects, the experience was better than the dining. But 5 out of 7 courses were good. Met some awesome table mates, too. If you go with a party of two, you may make some friends at this unique spot. Lots of things to discuss. Can't say that about most dinner spots.
Reviews / Ratings for 7 Paintings - Montréal
Amazing service! Amazing experience! Absolutely gorgeous!!
Really fun event for a group of friends! Just enough participation involved, with some really delicious and beautiful plates. Narration was a bit slow but entertaining.
The waiter was a complete noob. He almost got me super sick: after asking at each and every course if the food contain gluten (I have coeliac disease) he responded a clear no regarding a chocolate crumble that was part of the dessert. Without my friends intervention I would have eaten it. And been sick for days. He did verbaly apologize but no compensation was offered. On top off all that he had the audacity to include a service charge. I expect at least that to be refunded. 50$ wine pairing was cheap. 2 out 3 wines were low quality bad temperature. The room was awkard. I felt like I was dining in a corridor. Food ranged from so-so to ok to normal. Somes dishes were fun most of them were boring. The projection look like they were made in 1985, like first gen computer generated animation. Not impressive. 7 paintings... more like 7 mistakes.
The overall experience was really fun and the service was absolutely perfect, but the food was a bit underwhelming considering the price. I understand that it’s probably very logistically hard to serve everyone at the same time, but also some elements of the food was sometimes colder than probably intended.
Nice expérience but having to call the guy downstairs to make the drinks was annoying
My wife and I were very pleased with both Fatine and Claudia, they were the very best. Excelente employees. Both deserve praise
Excellent show, food: menu kids first course it was onion rings and it was really cold and full of oil, adults menu beef more than cooked it was dry and hard, 2 salads in the courses it was disappointing, i had really big expectations because of the price, but food was really disappointed, drinks welcome cocktail it was really good, I asked for wine pairing not all the courses had wine and i didn't know which wine i drank because they didn't present the wine they just served it and that's it. Service it was good. As a chef I think I would do something magical, you have everything to do it, like something really magical for having the best experience ever.
Thoroughly entertaining, attentive staff and delicious food.
Lovely evening, beautiful experienced and excellent customer service!
Beautiful moment with food and art at the same time!
I had an amazing experience at Seven Paintings! The service was truly outstanding and the staff made the whole evening feel special. The food was also very good and the overall atmosphere made the experience even better. What really stood out to me was how much they care about customer service. If you ever have a concern and reach out to the director, he responds quickly and is very active in making sure guests are satisfied. That level of attention really makes the restaurant stand out and shows how much they value their customers. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. It’s definitely a place worth visiting!
It was a great experience, even if some of the interactive features were missing or not working properly. To make this exceptional. the features advertised should be the same as what is included in the experience. We still loved it but made the choice to look past this, which not every customer will do.
One of the most creative immersive experiences to date. Attention to detail, awesome animation. Can't stop telling everyone.
the experience and the activities were fun, the food was great and the service was stellar. Overall well worth the price tag for the experience
I really wanted to like this experience and went in with moderate expectations, but it was extremely disappointing. At about $250 per person with the wine pairing (much of which went undrunk) plus extra charges, the value simply isn’t there. The main issue was the food. One course consisted of three paper-thin slices of meat that had clearly been sitting out too long — they had dried onto the plate and were sticking to the ceramic. Instead of delicate, it felt stale and neglected. Portions were inconsistent and seasoning was often lacking. After a minimal fish dish, we were served a bowl of raw, barely cut vegetables with bland dips — less prepared than what you’d expect from a grocery store tray. One course featured a custard served inside a half a potato that we were explicitly told not to eat. Being served an inedible element on the plate was confusing and hard to justify at this price point! The steak was acceptable but inconsistent. The final dessert had a grainy texture. The wine pairings were also poorly received — at multiple tables, a majority of the pours were left unfinished. Especially the final one. When we raised our concerns on site, we were told these were complaints they had heard before and were asked to please pay the bill. Concept is subjective. At this price point, food quality and execution are not! Unfortunately, the experience did not match the cost there are many places in Montreal giving similar immersive food experiences with better food at a fraction of the cost.
this place was great!
Amazing experience and service
The timing of the courses with the projections were a bit off and often didn't follow the correct sequence of events presented in the animations but all and all a good unique experience of which Montreal in general is lacking.
Overall Great Experience, great view on the OldPort from our table and wonderful service staff. Minor ick; Filet Mignon wasn't seared enough, no proper crust and inner temp. was Cold, at best, Warm. Given distance between Kitchen and dinning room, warmers should be used at transport and cooking temp adjusted to avoid over cooking protein.
Over priced for the food given, concept seemed very cool at the beginning then just felt childish. Was added an extra $75 for service fee on top of the the gratuity 18.9% and provincial tax. One of the courses was bowl of RAW VEGETABLES. 100% will NOT recommend. I’ve been to the petite chef expecting it to be similar because it has a similar concept however I left 7 paintings hungry and felt scammed out of my money. Save your money
Experience is nice, slightly expensive if you only care about food.
Honestly I went in with HIGH EXPECTATIONS. I wasn’t expecting fine dining because it’s not the most expensive, but it is the most disappointing. At one point they served raw vegetables in a bowl with sauces as a course. The content was witty but soon became childish very quickly. Absolutely nothing special about the dishes. The servers were great, attentive, and friendly. Also be careful because there are hidden fees. I’m sorry to leave a bad review, I didn’t want to but felt compelled to. Again it’s not the most expensive but for hundreds of dollars you’re better off eating at a nice where you’ll have a nice full belly and good drinks for the same price or less.
Such a beautiful experience. 7 Paintings is visually stunning and fully immersive, breathtaking views, creative projections, and music that pull everything together beautifully. The food was on point, with a special shoutout to the entrance and desserts.The wine pairing option is a lovely addition that completes the experience perfectly. A truly memorable evening and left us feeling very happy. Highly recommend for a special night out.
