Terrasse William Gray

We went in their dome experience and it was absolutely amazing. The server was super nice and gave amazing recommendations for food and drinks. You can see the old port into the distance and they even had a small fireplace to roast marshmallows. The food was absolutely amazing. Each dish did not disappoint. This is definitely something I would bring people to who are visiting Montreal for the first time. I highly recommend this place especially during the winter. It gave off a nice cozy date night vibe!

I had the most wonderful dinner with my daughters. Our server Julia L took the best care of us in our cozy bubble. Having never been to Montréal, she gave us a list of recommendations all well worth while!! Thank you Julia!

I went to the winter brunch in a dome. It is so overrated please save your money and go somewhere else. For 65$ plus tax your coffee isn’t even included and the food is not even that good… yes the domes are “cool” but that’s about it, maybe at night it has a better ambience. I’d rather go to another brunch place in old Montreal to be honest.

Lovely rooftop terrace with great ambiance. They have many heaters near the bar so it was very warm. Food was pretty good but not amazing; the selling point here is definitely the view! Service was friendly, but drinks were slow to come. Second round was ordered before our mains came, but didn’t arrive until after we already finished the mains. Also, they did not ask proactively about dietary restrictions.

Really nice spot to begin your day in the Old Port. Brunch menu is pretty good. Food came out fresh and hot. Drinks were nice as well. The service was really slow but nice enough. What’s really the selling point are the views.

We came here for the brunch and the view and we were very satisfied by both. We ordered the chicken with waffles and the chorizo with poached eggs, along with with a cappuccino and latte. The food and coffee was delicious and the service was excellent

Lovely terrasse. Nice view of the Old Port. We came on a windy and rainy day. Luckily, they had a temporary roof and heaters. The staff were really friendly. We had the burrata as an appetizer. It was good but not amazing. On the other hand, the beef tartare and the orrecchiette were delicious. This place is worth going to on a warm and sunny day.

I organized a team Christmas dinner at the winter domes. We had a wonderful time. Food and drinks were delicious and good quality. Mauricio gave us an excellent service. He was very friendly and attentive.

Pros -the view is stunning. Great view of old Montreal, waterfront. -extensive drink menu. We loved the wine and Frose -Truffle fries had actual pieces of truffle Not pro - the food was OK. Charcuterie, burrata, oysters were standard. Would go for drinks and to check out the view. Service was good at first, but then took a while to get the bill as they were pretty busy. Recommend reservations given how popular it is.

Beyond spectacular views of Montreal. Ship horns blaze in the distance and as the sun goes down, the Ferris wheel and city light up. Go for drinks and the vibe but do not, I repeat, do NOT order the food. Service was super slow, waited over an hour for our food to arrive. Started with the French onion soup - ok flavor, but so hot it was hard to eat and everyone at the table burned their tongues. Steak frites and tuna for Mains. Meat was chewy and undercooked. Fries were soggy. Tuna was fine but underwhelming. Our waiter was nice and made it up to us with free dessert and tea, but overall still an overpriced experience for not very good food and slow service. The punchline? Am I a bit sad we messed up and overpaid for abysmal food? Yes. Would I recommend this place for a cool experience and nice drinks? Also yes.

Absolutely beautiful views of the most beautiful part of town - perhaps the best views in Montreal. It's clearly very popular, but I was able to snag a table for 4 at 5:30 the same morning. The wait staff was nice and we were able to arrange a surprise dessert for a friend who was celebrating his birthday. We were there just for drinks - all their cocktails tilt heavily to the sweet side, but I asked them to customize my second drink to be more bitter and it came out excellent. Prices were basically as expected.

The last time we were here, later evening, they were fully booked. This time we were later afternoon (5:45) and tables were open. Our choices were order food to sit at a table or find a couple of spots at the Bar. We chose to order food. We started with a couple of Cocktails. Spicy Passion Fruit Margarita and an Espresso Martini. Delicious Margarita given the Passion Fruit twist. Martini was also tasty. We weren't ready for Dinner so we went with their Charcuterie. Good balance of cheese, meats and fruit-perfect for two. We saw a good variety of options for appetizers and Entrees. Next time! Our server was attentive and took great care of us. Premium pricing given the views and well worth it. Fun, upbeat vibe and atmosphere with amazing views of Old Town and St. Laurent.

This is a buzzy scene--a popular brunch destination for tourists due to the lovely rooftop view of the Montreal harbor. The patio is covered so it isn't too hot or sunny and is protected from the elements. No complaints about the Aperol and Campari spritzes, chicken and waffles, and charcuterie platter which has really excellent sheep's milk cheeses. I do wish that there were some lunch options during brunch service and a wider menu but I'm guessing the staff is already stretched thin. Be prepared to wait a few minutes even after your res as both the host outside the hotel and the host at the entrance of the restaurant get backed up. Service is friendly and efficient. This place is a well oiled machine.

Stopped in for a cocktail and a snack at Terrasse William Gray. We sat at the bar and had excellent service from Alexandre who made me a delicious Margarita and my sister a very Dirty Martini with extra olives! We shared a Charcuterie Board which was a more than substantial snack for these hungry ladies. Beautiful view of the city. Very busy with lots of happy patrons. Recommended.

Great rooftop views from Terrasse William Gray for our Brunch. Our server was attentive & bi-lingual. We loved our food. The chicken and waffles had a lovely sweet maple flavor and the beef Benedict had a lovely savory sauce. Drinks were excellent. I wasn't impressed that it was a part of a hotel, but that quickly changed! We would eat here again.

We came here on a Sunday morning for brunch. The restaurant is on the 8th floor of the hotel. The place was not crowded. We were seated at a table with great views of the city, ferris wheel and the St. Lawrence River. We ordered Eggs Benedict and French toast for brunch and had mimosa and tea for drinks. The view was gorgeous. The food was good, and portions were quite large. Friendly staff and the service was good. Great place to hang out.

The staff is AMAZING! First heard of this place from a friend who stayed nearby and it was recommended by their concierge. THEY ARE OPEN EVEN IN THE WINTER (except for 11 days when they build the see-thru igloos atop the Terrasse). The views are amazing, the drinks delicious and can even sit at the bar just for drinks under heaters. The food is unique but a little pricey, but I figure that's how they attract and keep great employees. They have blankets out if you need them also.

Was excited to try this place for my wife's birthday and made reservations requesting a nice view. Arrived early and they sat us far from the glass and near the entrance. Politely asked hostess if we can maybe wait until other spots opened up and she said it wasn't possible despite seeing open seats and her sitting other couples after us. So we sat and waitress asked if we wanted to order but no one gave us a menu then she disappeared. I tried a different hostess to see if it was possible to wait for another window seat and she said there's nothing she can do. I asked our waitress if we can maybe move and she said she couldn't help. So we just made reservations to Marcus at Four Seasons and walked out and had an amazing meal at a better place.

5 stars for the ambience/view. 3 stars for the cocktails. Came here for a quick drink before dinner as I saw it had beautiful views! The views did not disappoint! We sat at the bar and had a nice time. The drink however wasn't much of a cocktail and more like a juice. I don't know if it was because there was too much ice or if it was just not much alcohol in it. I would come back to try another thing and because the views were great!

Came here for brunch and loved the rooftop terrace with a panoramic view of the Ferris wheel and river. They have a great selection of food to choose from and I went with the smoked salmon Benedict. It was good, nothing special though. Our waiter was helpful in explaining things and checked in frequently on us. You are definitely coming to soak in the view and I would definitely want to try other menu items in the future!

The views could've been better. The food was amazing. The drinks were even better great place to have an event or a night out. It can get a little loud and it can be pretty hot but other than that it's a great place. Good service iamazing staff.

Great food. Appetizer of duck brochette and dinner of salmon (pix). Disappointed on seating. Seems like only people with reservations get the good views. They sat me at the bar. Radioed up to see if they could seat me. Minutes later I'm sitting at the bar. No on else seated there at all.

Can not say enough good things! The food was great, I got the chicken and waffles which was delicious. The view is amazing and the service was great.

Great service (shoutout to Elizabeth), amazing cocktails, and spectacular views! The Terrasse William Gray is the perfect spot to enjoy a drink and take in the sight of Old Montreal!

Going to old Montreal was a last minute decision. We walked through St Paul and into the open square where buskers and artisans were more visible. Over looking the area, we spotted a few rooftop restaurants. We thought it had been awhile since we visited one and a first for us in this city. This trendy restaurant sits ontop of the hotel, not many hotels have one in the Old Port. You would need to reserve during peak dinner hours and if not there is a waiting list of more than an hour. We went to this one and since it was already after 8pm, we didn't wait more than 5 minutes. To our disappointment, we were seated at a different rooftop overlooking an alley and not the panoramic view of the harbour where the big ferris wheel is and the Cirque de Soleil tent. We ordered shared meals of shrimp and chicken. We found the chicken dry and the meal ordinary for the price. The shrimp was well worth it and it is a popular choice. We ordered wine and after the lockdown, everything is sooo expensive! Our bilingual waitress was great and very knowledgeable...phew... $$$

Loved the character of this building. It was stylish being in the old Port. The terrace was gorgeous with a view of the Ferris wheel and the water. The terrasse is tucked upstairs of the hotel, which has easy access by stairs or elevators. It's lovely all of the plants outside and the seating is comfortable. They have an amazing cocktail menu and a beautiful selection. Staff is very nice and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an amazing place to have a drink out on thé Terrasse.

Went here for dinner with friends. This is a very nice covered rooftop terrace with a great view of the river and the Ferris wheel. The glass walls are high enough to handle any cold winds. They have a great selection of shareable dishes, salads, main (meat and fish) and good desserts. We had green salads for starters. Very good, but big portions, almost a full meal. For the main course I wanted the beef ribs, but they were out, so I did the tuna. It was cooked to order and delicious. I had the Barolo red wine with the meal, the rest of the party had cocktails, which they raved about. High recommended, great service and wonderful food.

Great rooftop right in the heart of old Montreal. I wasn't hungry when I came here but wish I was as the food looked amazing. The views are why you come here - beautiful panoramas of Montreal and the water. I drank a moet champagne which was great. My girlfriend ordered a cocktail which she didn't love. Would definitely come back.

Come here for the view, not the food. We came here for brunch on a sunday and got the spot at the corner with an amazing view of the old port. However, the food was not that great. We got the fries with truffle mayo, the casserole and the eggs benedict. The casserole was ok. The truffle mayo was very flavorful, but the fries were very soggy. The eggs benedict were not so good. It said on the menu that it comes with white ham but somehow we got salami on it without any notice of change in the menu. The salami was very salty and overpowered the rest of the flavors. Some of the leaves in the salad went bad (dark and slimy) but still managed to be in our plate. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. For the pandemic, they all wear masks and visors and also provide antiseptic at the entrance.

Absolutely wonderful on all account! Service, food, and the view is perfect! Surrounded by tons of shops and close to the Ferris wheel and many other landmarks. I had dinner.. the tuna as pictured :)!

Barb and I made our first visit to Terrase William Grey for lunch today. The experience was great, highlighted by the spectacular view and very welcoming service. Everyone from the doorman, hostess and waitress were all super friendly. I ordered fried shrimp and fries, Barb ordered the Salmon Tataki. The wine list was a little thin but I found a nice Sancerre that paired beautifully with the dishes. The shrimp dish was OK, tasty but small shrimp (40 count?). The fries were a little undercooked and I barely dented the large serving. The Salmon on the other hand was excellent, having a nice salty coat sliced thin and served basically raw. So mixed reviews on the food but the service and view were 5 star, I can see us becoming regulars here for sunset cocktails!

Cedric has a way of making things happen! Kudos to him and his team!! Great place. Great drinks

I came out here last year to visit a friend, and was taken here for lunch. Honestly, I don't remember much of the experience here, but the only thing that has been BURNED into my brain, was how amazing their Steak Tartare was. Funny thing is, it wasn't even my dish, it was my friend's. This steak tartare, if I remember correctly, had a honey ginger soy, that was blended into the meat and it was absolutely fantastic! I kid you not, I have been chasing every steak tartare I come into contact with hoping for that amazing flavor in my mouth again, I fail, everytime. One star taken off for the sandwich I had actually ordered... It was so bad, I can't even tell you what it was, I'm sure I have a picture of it somewhere. But that steak tartare though...

Favorite rooftop bar in Montreal (we visited 2 others). The truffle fries were good, sliders were a little dry, service was a little slow, but friendly. The view though, is unbeatable and the drinks were solid. To get in we checked in with the hostess who took our numbers for a 20 minute wait. She texted us when the table was ready and mentioned we have 5 minutes to get there. We just grabbed a drink at the restaurant downstairs while we waited.

Terrasse William Gray is known to offer a beautiful view on Old Port Montreal. However we were not granted that privilege. That side was already crowded when we arrived. Cocktails are deliciously good, on the other side I find the menu poor in choices. Good customer service.

We came back last weekend to enjoy the sun and the location of this great terrace. This time however, the 1st waiter we got kinda ruined the experience. (I have his name but decided not to write it on here. Will provide upon request) First of, we came in and were seated pretty much right away. We asked for a bottle of Pinot Grigio, he insisted that "It's really not good! I suggested you take this other one" and pointed to the most expensive one on the list. So we said "ok if it's not good we'll have the Sauvignon" and again, same thing happened, he insisted it's really not good, that we should take the most expensive one on the list. A little annoyed but also didn't want to have "bad wine" (WHY DO YOU GUYS SELL BAD WINE????) we hesitated, we just didn't like how he was acting with us. Then he suggested a bottle of Kim Crawford and I said I remember not liking it but ok, let's try that. After having ordered, we saw a table next to the railing was freed up so we immediately asked the waiter to switch us (at this point there was no one in the line up) He looked at us and said "hmmmmmm no u cant", when I asked "why not?" he took a few seconds to make up: "hmmmmm they're reserved" (which is a lie because u cannot reserve there) So it was a back and forth of me asking nicely but stern to switch table and him condescendingly answering back bullshit. He then pretended to ask the host and came back to basically tell us the same thing again. At this point, here were 3 empty tables near the railing. We would have gotten up and leave at this moment if it wasn't for the fact that he just came up at our table w the bottle. He remained very condescending throughout the tasting of the wine. We remained civilized and never lost our cool. This review would have been ONE STAR if it wasn't for the second waiter saving it. That star goes to Mikaël (i'm sorry I didn't ask how to spell his name so Im assuming this is how one writes it) who was courteous and nice. The food was fine. We had a beet salad and an order of fries. However, when they came to take our plates away, no one actually asked if we were done. It felt like they wanted us out so they could sell the most expensive bottle to the next customers. Also, the name Benjamin B on the bill is a code they use for ALL the waiters. If one disappoints you drastically like ours did, make sure to ask for the name. I will not be coming back.

First of all, I have nothing bad to say about the service and the staff. Our waiter was very helpful, explained everything to us. The food arrived quickly, the whole place isn't too crowded so it doesn't get obnoxiously loud. My main concern with this place is the price. A sangria pitcher, which is around 60$, gets you about 4 glasses, and is FILLED with ice and barely any alcohol, we didn't enjoy drinking it. We then ordered other drinks, and the same thing happened, not a lot of alcohol, mostly ice. I like the uniqueness of the drinks, I just wish I could enjoy drinking it. As for the food, the fries were very good, although the plate was small. Definitely get the truffle mayo to go with the fries. Do not get the salmon tataki. No ingredients in that plate were harmonious, everything from the texture to the taste to the price was terrible (28$ for a tiny portion). Overall, the view from this restaurant is incredible and maybe that's what makes it so special.

Beef tartare was very good, better than others I've tried. Truffle fries were good just a bit chewy. Cocktails too acidic for my taste.

The food is simply okay, and the service was very shaky, but the view and terrace are excellent.

Montreal has various roof top bars. WG offers valet parking for around $20. They have a decent variety of cocktails and wines not too many options for beers. The terrasse is higher than Perché, but the view is better at Perché. If you come in July, you may be able to see part of the Montréal Fireworks Festival.

While in Montreal for vacation, in the Fall, which of course means colder evening temperatures, we felt lucky to have stumbled upon this rooftop restaurant. It has a fantastic vibe, great staff, and we really enjoyed tasting the baked parmesian eggplant. It was so delicious that we ordered a second helping of it. And then the chef came out to introduce himself to us and exchange ideas about this delicacy. He was great, and very informative about how it is prepared. Thanks to him and to our server Melissa for making this evening most memorable.

Nice view of old Montréal and the St Lawrence River. Menu is limited. Drinks are good. Expect to pay for the location and scenery.

Spring is here and summer is around the corner! Terraces are starting to setup and William gray does it with a view! It's my first time going to William Gray terrace and I have a feeling I'll be going there frequently this summer. The view of the old port is absolutely stunning. I wish more places in the old port had rooftop terraces. If you're from out of town, even a local, you have to go for a drink and just soak in the view. As for the drinks, they have a broad selection of drinks. But my old fashioned was done with Crown Royal instead of bourbon... which was disappointing , but the view made up for it and next time I'll try something else.

Absolutely the most outstanding hotel in all of our Canada travels. It's a definite 5 star experience. From the door greeters Tom and Assefa who always kept us hydrated and welcomed back to the front desk, Eddie provided us entertaining service and was just an unforgettable joy to have serve us. Vero and Sabina went over the top to plan our days and assisted in securing restaurants all that were top notch. The house keeping staff, phenomenal! The room was impeccable and when I asked for extra pillows a moment later then had arrived. I had forgotten my toothbrush and he was there immediately with one. The hotel has beautiful amenities and the decor is sensational. When we return no thought will be needed of where to stay. William Gray is the best.

Stopped by Montreal to grab some lunch before heading back to Toronto. Found this restaurant @terrassewilliamgray on open table and walked in to the amazing #ferriswheel view of Montreal old city. Ordered our food right away as we were starving and quick came the goodies on our table. I got the grilled salmon with beetroot puree which was scrumptious, my husband got coconut milk and veggie pasta which was yummm, along with some home cut fries and a cheese with some bread sticks. Yumm yumm yumm loved it all. A foodie spot ABsolutely! Check out my Instagram Handle for more delicious Food review. https://www.instagram.com/born_hungry_travel_widely/

Here I go with my foodie sister to our monthly brunch at Terrasse William Gray. We are greeted enthusiastically. I was surprised by the quickest and efficient service the staff. Sadly, the brunch menu is very is limited. Every dish is with meat except one was a sweet dish. I asked for the casserole, and to omit the grilled sausages with a mimosa. My sister took the tartinade with egg and ham, side salad plus the smoothie of the day. Our food and drinks arrived in a jiffy. Honestly, the food and the drinks weren't extraordinary. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad either. Also, it was quickest brunch I ever had. I guess the portion was small. What was frustrating is the price, my casserole consisted grilled sweet potatoes, one poached egg and salad (I omitted the grilled sausages); they didn't modify the price or give me something else instead ( like other restaurants would give me a grilled tomato or something else). So they charged me the full price for my casserole. I give good stars for service but food and price bring down the stars. On a good note, the view is beautiful!

Offers exceptional views of Old Montreal, but that's where it ends. Ordered a Hemingway drink which was eh, and also the ceviche which besides being tiny ($16) was nothing to write home about. Ceviche being one of my favorite dishes, this one missed the mark as the lime overpowered any other flavor. Don't know the servers name as he never introduced himself, also didn't see him after the dropped the ceviche off. No checking to see how everything was. Service leaves a lot to be desired. I don't see the appeal of this place, maybe for a cocktail if they have happy hour.

This is a great concept with poor execution. The service is horrible, unfriendly and very unwelcoming. Immediately as you sit, you feel robbed because the windows are dirty and you can't experience the beautiful view which attracted you to this place in the first place. Next the drinks are not good. Weak, not flavorful, and lacking imagination. The sangria for instance tasted worse that the one from the card board box(no offense if you are into that). The food is equivalent to late night menu bar food experience(although they have aged steak which we didn't venture to try). Last, wait time is not acceptable. The waitress only came once. Waited over 20 min for a drink and 40 min for food. Suggestions, Improve staff, food, drinks, and definitely music. There was a moment when we heard two song at once unmixed at different volume. Great concept lots of potential!!

So, this spot is definitely lovely, but leaves something to be desired. The view is gorgeous and it was bustling and definitely a place to see and be seen. However, they were out of half of the food when we were there and also, it took us about 45 min to get our snacks though every table around us had already come and gone. In 'apology', they brought over shots, but as I didn't want a shot, the server said he'd find something else, but never returned. I didn't need something, but considering we were there hours just trying to have cocktails and a snack, I think they could have tried to accommodate a little more. The other guests were starting to get rowdy when we left, so not sure how this spot is the later in the evening you're there.... Worth a visit, but be prepared for some lackluster service while enjoying the nice views.

Breath-taking view of the whole city of Montreal. I went here with my partner during nighttime and it was extremely beautiful. To get to the rooftop, you have to go through the hotel and go to the top floor of the elevator. Sometimes there's a wait but it usually doesn't take that long for the host to seat you. Once you're in, find a seat and let the host know you want to sit there -- pick one with the best view and where to get the best pics! The drinks were okay since you're there more for the view and less for the drinks. I'd definitely come back here again and take my friends with me.

We first went to the 4th floor and tried to order dinner, but they have a limited menu (although the hummus was very good), so we went to the 8th floor, where we were able to order entrees. The staff was nothing but friendly and attentive during the entire experience, from start to finish. Though a bit pricey, the food was great, and there was a nice selection of wine to choose from.

Love the view. They don't rush you to leave. Lots of bugs at night near the ledges but totally worth it. Definitely a great place for a girls night out. No food past 11pm, expect to wait for a table, I think it's worth it.

I came here for brunch while on a week-long trip to Montreal. There are 3 patios in the same building - Maggie Oakes, Perche, and Terrasse William Gray. We decided to go to the Terrasse and both my friend and I got the eggs Benedict (which was rather over priced at $18). Neither of us eat ham so we asked to remove it from the dish and substitute it for another ingredient which the waitress said could not be accommodated for. When we received the dishes, we saw that the hollandaise sauce was not luscious and runny, but rather a clump that surrounded the egg. When we broke the egg we saw that it was not runny, but actually hard boiled. Needless to say we were rather disappointed. The best part of brunch was the side salad! Do yourself a favour and go to one of the other many amazing brunch spots in Montreal - not this one.

I'm so glad I tried this place and the view was so beautiful, the food was good. I had the shrimp appetizer that was delicious. And I had the veggie pasta that was alright, it could've been better. But overall the experience of the place was good. The drinks are so good as well

Late season visit for the first time. The view is better than we expected. The entire hotel is grear and we will stay here in the future. We only had drinks but they were well done.

Initially I thought perche was the same terasse as william gray- I was wrong. I stopped by here to charge my phone at reception. The front desk was so nice and friendly to accommodate me even though i was not staying at the hotel as a guest. I loved the view from their terrasse on the 7th floor- we ordered two glasses of house wine on last call. I wish I had my phone to capture the lovely view. Next time.
