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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
