We had a wonderful time on the beautiful rooftop terrace on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The view was spectacular, the food was great and the service was outstanding from start to finish. A special thank you to Philippe, our server, who made the experience even more enjoyable with his attentive and professional service. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning.
What guests say about Terrasse Nelligan
The terrace is highly appreciated for its atmosphere, beautiful view, and often attentive, professional service. Several customers also highlight the quality of the food and drinks, with repeated mentions of a welcoming team. However, a few reviews mention waiting for food or drinks, music that is too loud, and inconsistencies in portions or reservation management.

Perfect atmosphere. Fantastic staff (especially Fred). Wife loved it beyond word. We are ao planning to return one day. Highly recommend it!
Great food and experience! And Philippe was very courteous and efficient
The food was great! Philip the server was very nice! Would recommend
This is a touristy spot known for the views of Montreal. While the views are good of the water and city, they are only viewable from one end of the restaurant. If you don’t get seated at that end, your experience is just of a nice, open air, rooftop restaurant. Overall, with or without the views, the restaurant is good and lively. Service is on the slower side but not too slow. The drinks and food are good quality - tried both mocktail options as well as the grilled zucchini and all were good. If you’re going to this spot just for the views/hype, it will meet expectations just be sure to ask for the correct area for seating. Note that the bar doesn’t have any views. If you’re just looking for a good rooftop restaurant, there are likely better options.
Top service from Abel, super accommodating and makes a great coffee. Definitely coming back.
We came here to celebrate the graduation of my friends. The food was HORRIBLE. They charged 38$ for it and it was dry and so mid that i’d find a better burger at a fast food restaurant. I don’t mind paying 73$ for a sangria but atleast give me something special and authentic, not the same pitcher that is served at any other restaurant for half that price. How can I enjoy the terrace when the food is bad and the drink is mid. NOT WORTH IT
Mercii Fred!!
Our host tonight was Dominique. 10/10 service. We went to celebrate my partners Birthday and he was extremely welcoming. The food was to die for. Lobster rolls are highly recommended. Definitely visiting this place again.
Super place to get a drink, nice view and music. The staff knows what they are doing and it shows.
Such a beautiful terrasse and even better service from our waiter Zach! He was so accommodating and kind, he really amplified our already amazing experience. Great menu items and views :)
Zach was the best waiter ever. So kind and gave great recommendations!!!! Y'all should give him a raise.
Our server Pascal was amazing. The service and atmosphere were great
Yannis was so cool, kind and professional. I loved my experience there. Thank you Yannis!!
My boy Yannis was absolutely spectacular
Overall a pretty good experience! Apitizers were dicious and came out relatively quick. The katzu sandwich was interesting, most likely would not get it again. Only complaint was the drinks were slow to come out, took roughly 20 minutes to get our first round. Overall, with the view you get on the terrace I would return.
Abel our server was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Kamel the manager on duty was very accommodating and made extra effort to make our evening special!
Very friendly staff, delicious meal but a bit long to get the food, but still very nice place to have a drink and unwind
Good spot, drinks were ok, music was too loud.
Came from Toronto specifically for this place and booked two days in advance, only to get a call 3 hours before our reservation saying they were fully booked and that even if we showed up, there wouldn’t be a table available. Very disappointing experience and poor reservation management.
Okay so I literally never write reviews. I've been living in Montreal for years and this is genuinely the first time I've felt like I needed to. I live in the Old Port, like 5 minutes from here, so trust me when I say I've been to pretty much every terrace and restaurant in the area. And honestly most of them it's all about just the location and the atmosphere. You sit down, the drinks taste like they forgot the alcohol, the servers are nowhere to be found, and you're just paying for the view. That's kind of the norm around here. Nelligan completely caught me off guard. Like, I did not expect this. HATS OFF TO Amélie & Valter!!!!!!!!!!!! These two were absolutely unreal. Not just good service, I mea the kind where you actually feel taken care of. Warm, attentive, genuinely friendly + always there. And Sarah popped in a few times too and was equally great. The whole team clearly has a standard and it shows. The drinks were also properly made, which sounds like a low bar but if you know the Old Port restaurant scene you know that's actually rare. I really can't say enough good things. This place is the real deal and I'll definitely be back.
