Amazing atmosphere. Food is top notch especially the fresh sushi and all the dishes are great , a lot of variety . The chef showed me his aging process for steaks and it’s second to none. This place turns into a vibrant party after 10:00. I come here every time am in Montreal. Try it and you will not be disappointed.
Reviews / Ratings for PALMA*
Staff is great, food is awesome, great spot for a good dinner and night out !
Went with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had a reservation so we were seated right away. I strongly recommend you have a reservation. The service was great 👍 our server was helpful and gave us good suggestions. Pomegranate Martini and Passion fruit Martini were amazing. The food was delicious 😋 the whole table shared starters that were all very good. I especially loved the rock shrimp and the sliders. My husband had the salmon and said it was the best he'd had in a restaurant. I had the lamb, 4 pieces, and it was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. A DJ was spinning great Music all night. There was a club vibe but the music was fun and brought a good vibe, not too loud that we could not talk, just right. I would recommend Palma and we will certainly be going back.
Nice place overall. The food is good, nothing extraordinary, but enjoyable. It can get quite crowded at times.
Good food, good tequila, good music, good time here
Best restaurant ever!
Really nice dinner!
Palma is officially a Griffintown favorite! The food is on another level of freshness, the crispy tuna is a unique must-try, and the filet mignon was incredibly tender. The highlight of our night was our waitress, Myriame. She is absolutely adorable and her service felt so warm and genuine. We’ll definitely be back and will be asking to sit in her section again!
I had dumplings and it was amazing! I will definitely go back to eat some more
Great food and excellent service!
The cocktails were really good — we had the Amaretto Sour and the Lychee Martini, and both were delicious. The appetizers were amazing, especially the lobster dumplings, which I highly recommend! For the main course, we chose the beef. It was a bit too spicy for my taste and not served as hot as I would have liked. As a side, I had the organic grilled vegetables and absolutely loved them. My friend chose the potatoes, and they were very good as well. For dessert, I had the cheesecake — it was good but a small portion. If I come back, I would definitely go for the seafood without hesitation. In my opinion, that seems to be their specialty!
2 Stars instead of 1 because Angeline our waitress was very pleasant to us. And what occurred was not her fault. Now I’ve been to Palma before for drinks and music, and the vibe is always great. Unfortunately, our birthday dinner experience was extremely disappointing. We (group of 3) had an 8:30 p.m. reservation and arrived on time, but our main course didn’t arrive until 10:30 p.m. a full two-hour wait. We received one appetizer early on, but the delay was so long that we had to order another just to get through the wait. By the time our tomahawk platter arrived, I had lost my appetite entirely. Eating a full meal that late wasn’t enjoyable and completely took away from what should have been a special evening. What should have been a joyful celebration turned into an exercise in patience, trying to stay in good spirits while waiting endlessly. Our waitress was apologetic and explained that the system had overbooked tables, yet there were empty tables throughout the night, which made the explanation hard to believe. The food itself was okay but underwhelming for the price entrées were better than the mains. The bill came to $800+, and we still left with half the food packed to go. As compensation, the only thing offered was removing a $15 cake-cutting fee, which felt almost insulting given the circumstances. For a restaurant at this price point, waiting two hours for food is unacceptable. Great vibe for drinks but book dinner at your own risk. Go drink and dance, for food eat somewhere else.
Great place, great atmosphere, amazing food!
Extremely unprofessional staff, coat check lost my jacket that had my car keys in it, i had to leave without a jacket in -30 degree weather. The manager, the coat check girl and the bouncers acted as if i had done something wrong, even though they were the ones that had given my jacket to the wrong person.
Nice Montreal restaurant Overall The food is good and the presentation is excellent The service is very friendly. Sabrina was pleasant and knowledgeable The only problem is the music being a little loud
Most unprofessional establishment in Montreal, horrible management team and awful care for their customers. Not worth the visit
Our experience was underwhelming at best. I got the lobster but would not recommend it. It is a lobster tempura so it is deep fried, and it was basically a mouthful of grease with little to no taste, litterally feeling the oil drip in your mouth when you bite into it. Might as well drink oil at this point, I could not finish it. While the presentation has a lot of panache, the taste and quantity were not there and I found the price ($69 plus tax) really steep for about 8 oily bites as nothing else is edible on the plate. You would need to order sides as the lobster does not come with anything else. I mentionned not liking the lobster to our waitress but that fell on deaf ears as she could not care less. My friends got some of their signature rolls which were good enough, the portions at least are satisfying. The alcohol free cocktails are practically the price of a coktail dowtown Montreal ($18). Beware of the automatic 18% gratuity that our waitress told us to add to if we wanted. This is our second time there and we won't be back.
Trash place with bad service, save your money
Palma is a cute and visually appealing place, but it’s very noisy. The menu is limited, only the sushi were good. However, it’s really overpriced for what you get.
Went for a nice dinner! Service was absolutely amazing - shoutout to Thomas and Sabrina! Will definitely be coming again with more friends !
The food was okay but very pricey. It was over an hour wait for our main dishes. When this issue was escalated to management, instead of compensation we were given shots that were never asked for. The interior was nice but the music was obnoxiously loud. Overall I do not recommend this place and would not go back here again.
The food was incredible and the service was top notch. A must visit! Hector took service to a new level.
A perfect dinner! The food was amazing and the hospitality that Thomas provides is unparalleled. Emily in Palma ( looks a bit like Emily in Paris) offered us a spectacular service and was very friendly and even funny. Also, the service was very quick, which is rare to find in restaurants these days. Rafi, one of the owners, went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. My wife was very satisfied and if you want a happy wife for a happy life, take her to Palma lol.
Totally lived up to my expectations!! The atmosphere is crazy amazing. We were only 2, but I almost wish we came here with more people because it’s so suitable for big groups. The restaurant is SO gorgeous, the bathroom as well. The food was very good! We enjoyed everything got, especially the truffle & Parmesan fries. The sticky ribs were a huge portion. The service was good. Our waiter Harold was super sweet! Finding parking wasn’t difficult, you just need to a pass by Palma on Peel, then turn right and just follow the parking signs. Once you’re in the parking garage, Palma is on the second floor! Very easy in my opinion. Parking is $20 though. Will totally come back with more people and would like to try other things from the menu!
The best restaurant in town :)))
