Okay so being honest here, I heard amazing reviews of this place and I was super excited to try it. We arrived at 3 and were told we could sit at the bar until we could be seated and we were also told the kitchen would open at 4. Mind you my friend and I were starving, so we waited patiently at the bar and had the white sangria(lychee one) which was so delicious I had to have two. Fast forward to being seated at 3:45, we were eagerly awaiting being ready to order. We were reassured several times that we would be able to order at 4, until 4 o’clock came around and they decided to close the kitchen due to very very light drizzle in the weather. I was so frustrated because not only had we been sitting there for An hour waiting for the kitchen to open, we were reassured SEVERAL times that the kitchen would DEFINITELY open. It’s seriously a shame because I’m sure the food would’ve been divine otherwise.

So it’s a beautiful day and I’m sitting at the bar here waiting for my food. So is the couple next to us, they were here first. It’s been an hour, the lunch rush is over and we are still waiting for our food. No one has stopped by to give an update, take a drink order, or just acknowledge our existence. There are too many good restaurants in Montréal to bother with this one. I think I’ll head to one of them now.

Great summer staple rooftop patio. Beautiful people. Business people. Service a bit slow — girl seemed new. But not bad. Definitely a place to check out for the great atmosphere. Haven’t eaten here yet.

Pros: Great view, Great atmosphere Cons: Subpar food –Ambiance– This terrasse is located in Old Port and offers beautiful views of Montréal. The service is good and a bit inattentive at times but it works out if you’re here for a date. Seriously, bring someone here on nice summer evening and have a couple of drinks, you will not regret spending all that money. –Food– Charcuterie: Nothing special at all. The board included different selections of meats with olives, slices of baguette, mustard. Sangria: Ordered a pitcher, 4 drinks in I thought it was spectacular, it was most likely just good. –Overall– After all the touring in Old Port, you should definitely come for a drink with good company and take in the beautiful cityscape of Montréal; it will be money well spent. Great ratings go for the ambiance.

Love the location, the stylish staff, the food and the great prices. This is my go to place for a quick lunch, sit at the counter, get your lunch(club wrap and a glass of chardonnay) quickly with a smile and no attitude but so stylish staff, well worth the time! Merci

Every summer, we cannot miss the opportunity to swing by Terrasse Nelligan to soak up some sun and order their Clear Sangria made of sparkling wine, peach liqueur, white cranberry juice and lychees, or their signature Mojito. Next time you want to have a drink while enjoying the weather, think about that stunning rooftop part of town!

Excellente expérience à montreal! Je vous le conseille vivement. The place to be. D’abord un accueil canadien hyper sympa: chaleureux, simple et hyper attentionné. Une vue sur notre dame a couper le soufflé et de l’autre côté, vue sur les apparts de l’expo 67. Au menu, pour les goûts de tout le monde: du Fingers food au plats classiques et aussi du typique québécois. Ambiance jeune mais pas guindés, hype mais pas prise de tête. Bref, allez y. Soirée inoubliable et super sympa pour votre séjour dans cette belle capitale remplies d’optimistes et de belles personnes bienveillantes.

Snooty service, food is meh, wine is – if you can believe this in a French-language metropolis — overpriced and subpar. If you’re a local who wants to have a drink in the early evening with other office workers, go for it. If you’re looking for food, wine, or even a pleasant sit on the terrace, stay away.

Great view, cool vibe and convenient if you or a friend are staying at the hotel. The only downside is it gets way too busy in the summertime.

I love a good terrasse and since my boyfriend and I had coupons for free drinks we thought we’d give it a try. It comes with great views of Old Montréal. The terrasse alone makes this place worth visiting. The clear sangria is definitely a must try when visiting here. They garnish it with grapes and litchees and it’s quite strong. They also have a small food menu so if you’re hungry you can grab a bite. I went for the ribs and they were tender with a strong meat flavour in that the sauce wasn’t overpowering everything. The coleslaw that they came with was a little boring but that was the only part that kind of disappointed. The fries were crispy and salty. The prices are a little high for alcohol but the cocktails are fairly strong and I guess it is Old Montréal so that is to be expected. The service was also quite good. It was quick and our server was very friendly and helpful.

Duplicated business entries in Unilocal make me notify continuously the moderators that they need to fix them. Verses Sky also exists as Terrasse Nelligan, but the real name is the the second one as per my recent research and I hope those two will merge into one entry soon. Four stars for the awesome view of this roof top bar located in Nelligan hotel and its clear sangria with litches. All the drinks were good, only the Old Fashioned was surprising with its muddled chunks of orange instead of finely peeled orange strip, but the drink was not on the menu and they fixed it for our table. As the terrace is certainly associated with the hotel bar Verses I’m sure they can get some bar tender advices on this fine drink(they know how to make strong and well balanced cocktails in Verses bar). We had cheerful and happy service during our last visit, and overall great time. Wonderful spot to stop for a drink and snack in the Old Port of Montréal!

It was one of the first nice weekends in Montréal and we had heard that there were some nice rooftop restaurants open for brunch. We arrived and sat down and were quickly surprised to find that they were not offering brunch, only lunch. The sign in the elevator said brunch was offered from 11 to 3:30 but that was apparently just for the restaurant downstairs. I’m honestly not sure if that’s true. We decided to eat anyway because we were starving. We got some drinks and ordered an appetizer. The appetizer was excellent, but that was the only positive point of the meal other than the weather and the view. I ordered a veggie burger and it tasted /looked like a cheap patty that came out of a frozen package. After we ate we then proceeded to wait for what must have been at least a half hour before our bills came. The place was filling up and our waiter looked busy but unfortunately we were tucked away in a corner that was essentially forgotten about. The waiter was apologetic when he finally did return which was appreciated. Overall I would definitely not return as the food was below average and the service was pretty poor.

Une des plus belle terasse du vieux-mtl selon moi. Les gens sont beaux. La vue sur le fleuve est superbe. Choix de cocktail pour tous les goûts. Quelques choix de plats. Mais bref, idéal pour allez prendre un verre entre amis, en couple ou en date!

I took my mom here for mother’s day because I heard the view was amazing. We were not deceived, as the rooftop bar overlooks the st laurent river. I didn’t try their drinks but the food was delicious. My mom’s salmon and my steak were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I’d definitely come back.

Ambience-wise…there’s no way to be this view. What a perfect place to wind down the day especially on a nice night! It gets super busy, but they take reservations Sun-Tues evenings. Fun cocktails… I had the clear sangria… sweet and refreshing! We only had appies(meat and cheese platters) — they were pretty standards. But hey, are we REALLY here for the food??!

L’an passé, j’avais vu les beaux parasols rouges de Verses Sky(qui est la même chose que Terrasses Nelligan) et je me suis dit, que dès qu’il ferait chaud cette année, je m’y retrouverai pour aller prendre un verre. Me souvenir de l’endroit a été un peu plus difficile cette fois-ci parce qu’avec un été arrivé beaucoup plus tôt que normal, les parasols n’étaient pas sortis, donc la terrasse difficile à trouver à partir du sol! L’endroit comme tel est pas mal beau et c’est le fun de se retrouvé dans un recoin un peu café qui est vraiment en plein milieu du Vieux. Par contre, le service a vraiment pris du temps(10 minutes avant de commander et 30 minutes pour nous servir un verre de vin et 2 mojitos) puis nos consommations n’étaient pas si géniales que ça. Mon rosé était tiède comme si la bouteille n’avait jamais été dans le frigo, et bien qu’un des mojito était bien, l’autre né goûtait pas une goûte d’alcool. En plus, au départ in s’était trompé et on nous avait emmené un mojito virgin, donc on a l’impression de se l’être fait donner quand même. Il y avait une différence notable entre les deux. Et 2 dollars d’extra pour 3 – 4 framboises dans un mojito? J’aime mieux aller au marché et m’acheter au casseau au complet à ce prix là.

Great outdoor bar. Food looked and smelled good but I didn’t actually try it. I would have given it 5 stars but the bartender was NOT friendly at all. However, the view and the ambiance earned every other star. Don’t worry if it’s a little chilly, they have outdoor heaters that work pretty well. Still, you might want to have a jacket just in case.

We read about this rooftop bar in Old Montréal, so we had to check it out. Bar is above the Hotel Nelligan, and we went there on a Sunday afternoon for drinks. Can’t say much about the food but seemed like the patrons were mostly getting burgers? The view from Verses Sky was great. We saw Notre Dame on one side and the port from the other. Service was decent, and the drinks were pretty good. I got the Thé Glacé(vodka, orange juice, and tea) and the Splash Royal(champagne, Grand Marnier, vodka, and strawberries), and both were very nice to drink on a warm day. This is definitely a place to go if you want to take it easy from the busy streets of Old Montréal.
