Dorsia

Dorsia is a highlight around Old Montreal. Despite not having been open that long, it is already on the Michelin Guide, and it isn't without reason. The food is arguably better than other restaurants with stars. The decoration and atmosphere is stunning. The service was amazing from what I observed at our table, and others. The food was very tasty and healthy, and the plating speaks for itself. We went for lunch, their set menu was well priced. Compared to Michelin star restaurants, the only real difference was the ceramics and silverware, but I would choose Dorsia any day over other restaurants with stars within the city. I almost never write reviews, but Dorsia deserves one without reservation.

Dorsia was recommended to us by a bartender at our hotel and we will definitely return. From the service to the food, Dorsia really surprised us. Everything we ordered was fresh, tasty and exciting. Service was top notch. From the knowledge of the dishes to the recommendations of wines. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend trying this place before it becomes impossible to get a reservation.

Very pleasant and welcoming service from the whole staff. Lobster ravioli, eel and four gras appetizer, and crudo, Maple Forest dessert, and chocolate dessert were all delicious and well presented. The rhubarb send-off dessert was also great. I think a little more effort could have been put into the presentation of the cavatelli but it was a good portion at least and my friend seemed to enjoy it. My aviation was a little more sour that it should be but when I mixed the bottom a bit, it wasn't bad. The wine recommendation was perfect. Decor is gorgeous. Loved that the waiter confirmed that the name is an American Psycho reference. Great retro music. Played two of my favourite Madonna songs. Look forward to checking out their basement bar at some point.

Food was great. Service was incredible and our server was incredibly friendly and personable. One of the best old fashioned's I've ever had. Duck crown was definitely the highlight of the meal, although the rest of the food was still very good too. Tiramisu was also fantastic. However, the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that we had an incredibly long wait for our entrees to come out. I understand that grand prix weekend is an incredibly busy time but maybe the restaurant needs to manage bookings accordingly... Maybe it should be harder to get a reservation at dorsia! All in all I would absolutely return and recommend it.... Just maybe not during GP weekend!

As a vegan, there are 3 on-menu plant-based items which are all delicious: the vegan Caesar, the broccolini, and the coconut ice cream sundae. I also had an off-menu cauliflower steak that was good, but I wish they had a permanent main course menu item that's plant-based; it's sure nice to have a selection of appetizer, side, main course and dessert that are all vegan-friendly. Regardless, the service is super attentive and top notch, and it's a very classy space with serious ambiance.

We came back to Dorsia for the second time - everything is just as perfect as we remembered. The atmosphere is stunning, the service is impeccable, and the food is top-level. The tartare is especially delicious - definitely a must-try. Highly recommend for a refined dining experience.

Dorsia offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with the entire staff contributing to an excellent experience. The host was friendly and pleasant, and our waiter, Guillaume, was attentive and demonstrated impressive knowledge of the menu. We began with beef tartare and tuna carpaccio as entrées, both fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For mains, we ordered the lobster ravioli and lamb, each cooked to perfection, rich in flavor, and artfully plated. The strawberry tart for dessert was a standout, though the entire meal was consistently excellent. The wine list is well curated, and while we did not try any cocktails, the options looked appealing. The décor is elegant, with great attention to detail, and the music selection was spot on, even featuring two of my personal favorites. I look forward to returning annd to explore their basement bar in the future. Verdict: A definite must-try.

The decor, vibe and service were all top notch, and above all the food was succulent. Absolutely loved the cavatelli, I am going to crave it till my next visit! Bonus points for the fun twist on the tiramisu with the use of Limoncello.
