I can’t say enough good things about our recent visit for my wife’s birthday. We had a custom 5-course menu that highlighted the best of what Dorsia has to offer, and every single course was amazing. The food was stunningly beautiful and absolutely delicious—it lived up to every expectation. The service was impeccable and so attentive. They even went the extra mile by preparing a special birthday cake for us since we planned ahead. A special shout-out to Maude for being so great! She was instrumental in organizing everything and making sure the night was perfect. Thank you for such an awesome experience—we will definitely be back!

Disappointing experience overall. There was more stuff than customers yet they were busy walking around for nothing. Upon arrival we weren’t given menu right away. And when we can’t wait any longer for our drink order we had to flash the busboy for wine. Afterwards we were served WARM white wine by the so called sommelier. What kind of Michelin restaurant serve unrefrigerated hot storage room temperature white wine? The oyster was not fresh. And when we jokingly commented on that they did nothing. The blue fin tuna was saggy. What kind of food standards is that? The fact that the chef would serve that at this calliper is amazing. When the truffle dish came to the table, the waiter asked have we seen black truffle before. I mean even if you came from small poor town and have never seen it before, you should not assume your customers whom were all dressed full in Hermès and Chanel the same assumption. I’m sorry but that sounded like an insult. And please, your canned almost melted white asparagus was not worth bragging about. Yes we’ve seen it. The steak was lukewarm the most. Not from a good cut yet bland. I have to say you’re very brave to charge people that much for your subpar, unprofessional operation. And the empty dining room says it all.

I recently celebrated a birthday at Dorsia in Old Port, and the entire experience truly exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we had stepped into a Michelin-star restaurant in the heart of Paris. The atmosphere is elegant and refined, creating the perfect setting for a special occasion. As for the food, it was absolutely unbelievable. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, clearly crafted with care and precision. I would highly recommend Dorsia to anyone looking for a top-tier dining experience in Old Montreal. It’s the perfect spot for celebrating something special or simply enjoying an exceptional night out.

Dorsia absolutely exceeded expectations. We originally stopped in just for drinks, no plans for a full dinner but despite being a group of six, they were incredibly accommodating and welcomed us without hesitation. What started as a casual stop turned into the best experience of the night. We began with drinks, and every single one was exceptional beautifully crafted, balanced, and memorable. After taking a look at the menu, most of us couldn’t resist and ended up ordering food as well and I’m so glad we did. The dishes were truly outstanding, easily matching the quality of the cocktails. One standout for me personally was the pickled stuffed olives completely mind-blowing and unexpectedly one of the highlights of the night. The service elevated everything even further. Our server was kind, attentive, and gave excellent recommendations throughout the evening. But what really made the experience unforgettable was Lucas. He handled our lively, chatty group with ease even as the restaurant quieted down and still managed to provide a personalized and thoughtful experience. He went out of his way to walk my friend through the variety of martinis they offer, which was a really nice touch. Dorsia delivers on every level drinks, food, and service. What started as a spontaneous visit turned into a night we’ll all remember. Definitely a top-tier spot and one I’d highly recommend.

My experience at Dorsia was fantastic. The service was excellent from start to finish, the team really made the whole evening feel special. The sommelier was spot on with the wine pairing and the food was delicious. But I have to say, Rihanna at the entrance completely shifted my mood the moment I walked in. She’s amazing and sets the tone right away

That was a 5 stars experience to me and my friend. We had two drinks, both very good.We both had steak tartare for starter (hands down the best tartare I've ever had) which was a pretty decent portion. Then we had two plates of pasta: I purposely picked the simplest one: paccheri with tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, pepper and basil, so you can really tell the quality of the ingredients. It was heavenly, the paccheri were cooked to perfection. My friend had a more elaborate pasta (can't remember now) and it was ridiculously good. We had dessert and the bill was 230$, plus I left 22% tip because the staff was amazing: very attentive and professional without being too stiff as you see in some places that confuse 'high-end experience' with bloated stiffness and too much form. We felt pampered and looked after, just great. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also beautifully balanced: we got greeted by a really lovely girl who made us feel immediately at home, and took our coats. The interior design is classy and elegant (and I mean elegant, not douchy-bro-gold-chain "elegant"), soft lights and a pleasant crowd on the younger side. I'm taking my girlfriend next week, absolutely loved it. Definitely came for the name (I love the movie) but stayed for the quality of the food and staff. Thank you guys!

Phenomenal experience at Dorsia!. While it was a pre-set menu for valentine's day, it did not disappoint. The highlight however, is the attentive staff, be it the servers, hostesses or mixologist, they all distinguished themesleves with their care and attention to detail. Special shout-out to Sebastien at the bar, who was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable- made our experience memorable.

We went there, the night before Valentine‘s day, to celebrate our anniversary, the ambiance was impressive and chic. Our server Guillaume was very professional and competent. We ordered the steak tartare, the agnolotti, the cavatelli and the wagyu striploin, and everything was delicious, but the pasta specifically stood out. We also had the matchatini and the lychee martini and were really tasty. Also, Maude and all the other servers, runners, and bussers were all extremely attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone who wants a wonderful dining experience in Old Port.

I will leave my original review up so you can understand why we returned. My first experience was so positive that I gathered some friends to return and what a disappointment. From the moment we arrived it was a terrible, terrible experience.From the way we were poorly greeted, to all dishes being barely warm, and pretty bland, it was like a totally different restaurant. Yet the price was super steep so for that reason I would no longer recommend Dorsia. We did share with management our genuine disappointment so hopefully they can level back up .. in the meantime, there are too many other amazing places to eat in Montreal! An incredible evening and meal! This restaurant delivers on all fronts, chic ambiance, attentive staff, superb cocktails (especially the limencello martini), and incredible food! Not a surprise that they are en route to a Michelin Star. Well deserved!

Phenomenal dining experience. Refined yet relaxed atmosphere and decor. Server Guillaume was the best waiter I have had in a restaurant, very attentive and knowledgeable. Food was exceptional. Delicious variety of appetizers (I recommend the Mille fueille with chicken liver mousse) and pasta. Both seafood and steaks were cooked and seasoned excellently. Cocktails were very good as well, with a broad selection of wine, my personal favorite was the Negroni with olives. Dessert left much to be desired was our only gripe with this other excellent restaurant. Bathrooms and facilities were also in notably great condition. This was one of the best dining experiences all around I've ever had. This restaurant alone can make a trip to Montreal worth it.

Had a good experience at Dorsia. Heard a lot about it and was happy to try it out. First of all - the place is truly beautiful, well designed and tasteful layout. The service was good. We tried a few different dishes. The highlight was the red beet agnolotti and tuna carpaccio were standout dishes: unique presentation, texture and flavours.
