I visited Alur Restaurant today and had an amazing experience. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is incredible, and you can really feel the passion that has gone into creating the Alur experience. The food was outstanding, and the jerk chicken was absolutely amazing—full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The cocktails were also excellent and added to an already great night. As a General Manager at a restaurant in the West Island, I tend to pay close attention to service and staff when I dine out. One employee who really stood out was Shaq. Throughout the entire evening, I saw him constantly working clearing dishes, cleaning, setting tables, helping wherever he was needed, and keeping things running smoothly. Every time I looked around, he was moving and contributing. What impressed me most was his positive attitude, professionalism, and work ethic. Employees like that make a huge difference in a restaurant, and I think it’s important that he knows his hard work is being noticed by guests. In this industry, people often hear complaints but not enough compliments, and Shaq deserves recognition for the effort he puts in. I was honestly so impressed that I even told him that if he ever wanted a different opportunity, I would be happy to have him join my team. That’s how highly I think of his attitude and dedication. The entire team did a fantastic job, and this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be back. Keep up the great work, Alur, and special recognition to Shaq for his dedication, professionalism, and outstanding work ethic.

Excellent food, great ambiance, good service, I’ll definitely come back again
The two male bartenders behind the bar were amazing I loved their vibe. I could tell they were Jamaican, and they kept the energy nice all night, singing and making everyone feel welcome. I wish I knew their names because they truly made the experience even better. It really makes people want to come back. I’m here for a month, so I’ll definitely be back. The service was perfect, and the food was delicious. Alur is the best restaurant I’ve tried. I’m from France, and I was really impressed.
Loved the food and the cocktails. A great experience.
Food and hospitality was excellent, we came all the way from NY and yes we highly recommend this place.
The food was great and “Rich in flavors” we ordered the Mussels, Tartar, tacos and the mushrooms tapas.. each plate had its unique taste. The staff were so friendly and polite. Never tried Caribbean food before and it was a great experience.
Really good food, rich in flavours and interesting variety of dishes. The staff is super welcoming and professional.
No one served us at the bar. Waited an hour and not one person came to us.
Amazing food amazing vibes. Frannie was amazing !
Jessica is an amazing manager! She had our food out within minutes and made sure everything was perfect. Shaq was super friendly and attentive I didn’t even have to ask for a to go container, he already had one ready The food was 10/10 the music was great, and the whole staff gave such good vibes. Definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to!
I had high expectations about this restaurant and it exceeded all my expectations! Jessica’s personality alone elevated the experience. I ordered every she recommended and she also crafted me a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu. When I’m back in Montreal, I’ll definitely be back. 10/10 would recommend.
Great atmosphere! Went for date night! Would go back just for Jessicas margaritas!!!!
My Jamaican waiter made it a wholesome experience ! Great food and great service. Bless up 🫱🏾🫲🏽
Met Shaq for the first time tonight super nice, great service, and very cute young man… I’ll definitely be back 🤣🤣
I have no idea how I ended up there. I think the chefs too. Every dish was bang average
The food is ok, but just ok! The ones we tasted were very mid, and definitely nothing that I would come back for. The calamaris were super rubbery. The sashimi did not match its sauce in taste. The grilled salmon was ok. The service was all over the place. The water glasses had lipstick marks on them. We had to ask for cutlery and napkins after our food arrived. The waiter didn’t even notice. With this quality both in food and service, the price is high and not worth it.
It was an incredible place, and very delicious food! Great experience
A new restaurant in Montreal, with original and amazing food, Caribbean tapas style. A truly inspired kitchen. My first time there was a couple of weeks ago, and I intend to go back. We tried almost everything and enjoyed the fresh and tasty offerings. Staff is delightful and accommodating, and the vibe is welcoming. A few minor wrinkles of the new place are still being ironed out (e.g. renovations still underway in the bathrooms), but these are quickly overlooked.
Trendy but very chill. Great service and delicious cocktails.
