Reviews
I had a really enjoyable time with my family sitting on the terrace overlooking the Ferris wheel. I usually don't enjoy oysters because of the fishy smell, but the ones I tried here were fresh and delicious. The steak and all the other dishes we ordered were just as tasty as I expected.
We had an amazing brunch at Terrasse William Gray! The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were great, and the atmosphere and views were beautiful. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great rooftop brunch spot!
The buttermilk chicken waffle was pretty good. The roasted potatoes were perfectly umami and delivered a tangy hint of flavour. There is a great view of the Montreal dockside, which you can enjoy while you eat. The staff were friendly and polite.
Amazing view, definitely the highlight. Staff were super nice and service was great. Cocktails were really good, especially the Smokey Bloom with blackberries, standout drink. Food was a bit hit or miss. Beef tartare was sweet, truffle fries were mushy and didn’t taste much like truffle, and the bavette was rosemarinated during the cooking. Overall: great spot for drinks, views, and vibe. Food is just fine.
I was looking for a place to unwind after a long day, and choosing this rooftop turned out to be exactly what I needed. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, which made the experience even better. They even offered me a blanket as it got cooler in the evening, which was such a thoughtful touch. Service was attentive throughout, and the food was genuinely good. I will say the pricing is on the higher side for what you get, and the drinks are also a bit more expensive compared to other places and felt slightly smaller in portion. But despite that, we still had a really great time overall. I made a reservation for 6:30 so we could catch the sunset, and it was absolutely worth it. They seem to manage seating in a way that gives everyone time to enjoy the space (around a two-hour window) which I actually appreciated. They also helped celebrate my brother’s birthday, which made the evening feel even more special!
