Amazing food and great service :)
Reviews / Ratings for Celeste
Upscale decor but reasonably priced. Food was great and so to was the wine selection.
Celeste is a whole vibe. Food, ambiance, service… All on point. Shoutout to the server with the insane curls and the warmest smile ❤️You’ll know who it is. Made the whole experience. I’ll be back.
The food at Celeste is good, but the service speed is a major issue. I’ve been three times and each meal has taken close to four hours because of long stretches where the waiter disappears. On my last visit we also waited almost an hour for our table and weren’t even offered a drink while waiting. The kitchen and menu are solid, but the pacing needs serious improvement.
Celeste absolutely lives up to the hype. From the moment you walk in, the energy is undeniable — a vibrant crowd, stunning ambiance, and a room full of beautiful people that instantly makes the experience feel special. The music sets the tone perfectly: upbeat, stylish, and immersive without taking away from the overall vibe… though depending on where you’re seated, it can get a little loud at times. The food is genuinely impressive. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, with bold flavors and high-quality ingredients that make it clear why this place gets so much attention. It’s not just a “scene” — the kitchen absolutely delivers. That said, this isn’t a place to rush. Service and pacing lean more toward a relaxed, social dining experience, so you’ll want to come in with the mindset of enjoying the moment rather than eating quickly and leaving. It’s more about the full experience — the people, the music, the atmosphere — than just the meal itself. Overall, Celeste is 100% worth the hype. Go for the vibe, stay for the food, and take your time soaking it all in.
Nice place to sit with nice music and lighting. Waiters and bartender are well trained or been around for a long time. Primi Platini are really traditional Italian size, being small and for the size of food to the price ratio, I don't find it worthy.... The CAPPELLACCI ALLE COSTINE DI MANZO had a good souce and a good filling, but the pasta sheet was unevenly cooked, the thinner part holding the meat was good but the thicker folded crimped part was chewy. If the design was changed or rolled move even this would be a hit.. SEPPIA ALLA GRIGLIA was perfect. The sauce and the tenderness of the meat was perfect. But nothing on the side to breakup the fish.. I was dining along and asked to move from my table to the bar to make space for a larger group.. but no complimentary drink, for my kindness.. Still had to pay full whack. 2x glasses of wine. 1x Primi dish. 1x Secondi dish. (Only because the Primi dish was so small) 1x Limoncello. €180 for 1 person... I won't be going back.....
Don’t miss !!
Amazing new restaurant downtown montreal. From the refreshing decor to RJ’s great hospitality to the very tasty food , it was an overall great experience and I would 100% recommend 🔥🔥
Great food
We were a group of 8. We were suggested sharing plates… this was the serving size of each plate. just one singular pasta shell - all 3 servings of pasta amounted to this much food per person. we had the steak and seabass, and that was also just one tiny sliver of meat each. I can’t believe I paid $250+ for that meal, it’s actually ridiculous. I was literally searching uber eats and had to order mcdonald’s on the way home just so I didn’t feel like I starved. The food tasted good but quite frankly it didn’t matter if it tasted good if there was only 3 bites worth of food. They brought out 2 slices of cake at the end that was apparently supposed to be split between 8 adults? I’m convinced I got scammed.
Once once you enter the restaurant you get greeted by the really sweetest host ever. The restaurant is really nicely done it's gorgeous and the stock is also super nice and very sweet. They always make sure that everything is OK. The food was really delicious. I had the cannelloni pasta while my aunt had the mushroom pasta. We also took appetizers like calamari and the raw tuna. The calamari is really good same as the raw tuna and I really love the touch of sweetness that was inside. I'm not really a fan of cake but as dessert I took the chocolate cake and it was the most delicious chocolate cake I have ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want a really nice time it's also kind of pricey, but the food makes up for it definitely will be coming back!
Phenomenal experience, fabulous food, great service, beautiful place!
New hot spot in Montreal. Good for special occasions or dinner. Noisy. Food is ready tasty and cocktails are very good.
Tried the new restaurant Celeste in Montreal and had a really fun night. The ambiance is beautiful and the food was very good. We shared everything, which made it even more enjoyable. We started with amazingly fresh bread. We had the stracciatella salad with fig dressing, the cowgirl cut steak cooked perfectly, and crispy duck fat potatoes that were so good. Dessert was yummy, and we enjoyed a nice red wine from Puglia. Overall, a really nice night out
Supper with a friend at Celeste this evening. The atmosphere is beautiful yet warm and inviting. The staff are top-notch, especially our server Anya. The food is absolutely delicious. Highly, highly recommend!
Outstanding. One of my new favorite restaurants in the city.
Excellent restaurant, amazing service, delicious food, ambiance was beautiful! I’m so happy we have a great spot in downtown with delicious Italian food!! I’m so excited to return!!
MENTALLLL 🤍
Phenomenal service from Victor!! Exquisite flavour from Frank and his chef! If there is one dish that you need to get it’s the branzino. Ambience off the charts. 100/10 recommend!! This place accommodates it all, date nights, girls night, or family night, it’s the perfect place ❤️
Had a great experience at Celeste. The decor and ambiance is beyond beautiful. I had an espresso martini to start and it was perfect. We shared several salads and appetizers and all was delicious. The star salad was the lobster one. Pastas and fish were also great. Will definitely return!!
