Terrasse Place D’Armes

Very pleasant atmosphere, unlike the regular hotel bars of this type. Very tasty bites, great wine by-​the-​glass, and nice cocktail selection. Very friendly staff. Will definitely come back here next time I am in town!

Great location and views, classy and relaxing (priced at the upper end). We had the cheese&fruit platter and red sangria. Cheese was excellent, but the red sangria was nothing special. We have sangria often and have a decent understanding of what’s good. This sangria was very watered down (or at least tasted that way). We asked them to put in more wine, but still tasted like flavored water. Finally we had to return it. To their credit they did so without a fuss and were apologetic, then they made up for it with a couple great mixed drinks. Would recommend, but hold the sangria.

Beautiful rooftop patio, the view alone is worth it. My fiancé and I ordered a pitcher of white cranberry sangria and a charcuterie board to share. Both fantastic and a perfect welcome to Montréal!
Highly recommended on a sunny day to sip on refreshing drinks after a day of touring old Montréal.

I was in Canada on business last month and visited twice. Once just for drinks and another time for a drink and light bite to eat.
Great drink menu! A whole list of different flavored mojitos to choose from. I tried a watermelon and it was refreshing. Excellent charcuterie board, perfect for sharing. The brussels sprouts are also worth mentioning as they were delicious.
A lot of tables have a great view overlooking the area in front of the Norte Dame Basilica. A very comfortable, welcoming environment which is why I made my way here two times!

This terrace on the roof of the westernmost building of the three that make up Place D’Armes hotel is the ideal place on a summer’s night.
The view and al fresco location are unmatched. The food is a subset of that available on the main floor at 701, but it is a perfectly adequate set of choices. The salmon I had tonight was enjoyable if not transcendent.
Service is sincere and effective, and the overall experience, on a night like this, is wonderful.

Nice setting on top of the hotel Place d’Armes. The view is better depending on where you sit.
The drinks are very good… Although pricey ($ 15/​mojito). The price of food seems to be a lot more decent.
It used to be once upon a time a lot more busy than my recent visit on a Friday.
If you don’t mind paying more for your drinks and want a rooftop terrasse, this is the place for you.

We stumbled upon upon this restaurant after asking 2 locals for the best place for an afternoon lunch. They suggested we take advantage of the beautiful weather and eat at «La Terrace.» This was the perfect choice! The ambiance alone was amazing. We wanted to have the true Canadian experience so we ordered «Poutine. It taste way better than it looks. You have to try it at least once .The sangria with white wine was amazing, a nice drink to have on a summer day. The burgers were also good along with the fries. Overall I highly recommend this place when in Old Montréal.

Definitely a nice rooftop bar. The cocktail list is well done and well executed, some creative cocktails including the green apple cucumber Gin– my favorite.
A variety of Mojito’s and they will customize. Drinks are not cheap– I would say $ 12-​$ 15 a pop. But if you’re looking for a cool place to hang out for a few cocktails the service is good, the view better, and the cocktails are pretty well-​made.

A great view of the Square in front of the Basilica. Nice rooftop atmosphere, with great drinks and food.
If you want to get above the tourist fray, and have an upscale experience this should be on your list.
Located on the back edge of the Old Town. A quick and easy walk from most hotels.

Very expensive. All I had was drinks. They are average and not worth the price. Got 3 stars because of atmosphere and view.

Envie de manger au soleil en profitant d’une belle vue sur le vieux Montréal, faites-​y une pause. J’y suis allé le midi, ils font un menu entrée+plat. C’est bien présenté ET cuisiné. Le service est très attentif. J’y retournerai

This place has such a datey datey vibe. It’ll totally motivate you to find someone so you can take him/​her here out on a date. It’s on the rooftop of a hotel and overlooks the city of Montréal. If you’re seated at a table facing the West, you have this gorgeous view of the sunset also. They also have an extensive choice of mojitos and selection of cocktails. Their cheeseboards look pretty damn awesome too. Whether it’s a fun get together with friends or a romantic date, this place hits the jackpot when it comes to ambiance.
Another side note: there’s a DJ. Bonus!
My only complaint would probably be the amount of bugs this place attracts. It can be distracting sometimes but it cracked up a few jokes also.

I call at 20h50 to ask if they take reservations for terrace and if they are open I will be there in 30 min. Answer «we are open, you are welcome, just come and if there is seats we have drinks and snacks.»
I come at 21h25 and I m told sorry the terrace is closed it s cold. I explain my situation ask for a menager and no satisfaction. Bad service and really bad attitude. PS” not easy to park a car in the area“
Just avoid, they should learn how to train they employees and how to deal with costumers.

Good drinks. Fantastic ambience. OK staff. I went in with a friend on a weekday, and because we were early, we got a good table. Our server wasn’t very enthused about giving recommendations, and kept asking whether we wanted any more drinks, and decided to bring our checks after just two drinks. She was OK, but what I’ll take away from the terrace would always be the view not the service.

My husband and I stumbled on this place while exploring Old Montréal one day when we first moved here. We loved the view, so we decided to come back when our friend visited for some drinks on a Friday night. I called to make a reservation so that we would be sure to get a table, but I was told that I didn’t need a reservation just to have drinks – we could just walk up to the terrace and go to the bar. When we arrived, the hostess told us that the upper deck was full, so she sat us at a table on the lower deck. It was still pretty with the lights, but I was a little disappointed because I had been hoping for a view of the Basilica while we sipped our drinks. We decided to make the best of it and enjoy the view we did have. All during our first round, people were leaving the upper deck and the hostess eventually started leading patrons who were just arriving up there to enjoy their drinks. After a while, she did come over to our table to tell us that she had space for us if we wanted to move, which made our night! We moved up to the upper deck and enjoyed the beautiful view of the Notre Dame Basilica while we enjoyed the next round of drinks. Just two small complaints. First of all, there were tons of bugs all over the tables on both decks, but if you want patio seating, that sort of comes with the territory. It seemed like they were attempting to wipe off the tables as frequently as possible. Secondly, it took quite a while for us to get waters and our second round of drinks. This wasn’t a big deal to us, though, because we came up to the terrace for the atmosphere, so we just enjoyed our conversation while taking in the view. The drinks are pretty expensive, but that’s typical of this part of Montréal. We love the atmosphere here and we’ll definitely be going back!

Another roof top terrace in Old Montréal that features beautiful views towards Notre Dame church and intriguing sangria list.
That was the last stop of our terrace tour and we arrived around 11:30pm. There was a good number of people queueing to get in and if the place was not on the list to visit I wouldn’t have waited. The line was managed with as less coordination as possible. People were leaving the bar, but for whatever reason nobody from the personnel knew if there are free tables on the top part of the terrace and if they are ready for new clients. The service was not very accomodating, the young ladies looked like they work in an office doing serious tasks, rather then offering drinks with a smile to their customers. Last comment, avoid tables just next to the bathroom.
I regret I had time for only one magic ginger sangria, it was my green day, meaning no driving, so I had to catch a bus. The ginger sangria had chunks of ginger and ginger beer, giving a spicy twist to the drink, some coriander to balance out the spiciness, and good amount of alcohol. Absolutely delicious!
I think this place would be best at happy hour time when there is a light and you can enjoy in details the architecture of the surrounding buildings. I’m definitely coming back for more of my new sangria love, Gingergrita!

Food, service, and view all great and wonderful!!! A rare find to get all three at the same place. Cheeseboard has a healthy portion of 4 wonderful cheeses complete with crispy baguette. Organic salmon was just great not farm raised and not over done or with too much salt. Waitstaff hip and dressed in a nautical theme that was pleasant to the eye but also serious to please.

Droves of flying bugs were on this hotel rooftop which made it very difficult to relax and enjoy the gorgeous view of the Notre Dame Basilica. Could also use more comfortable seating.
Service was really attentive and I recommend the clear sangria (elderflower and strawberries word!)

Really nice patio with excellent service on the top of the Place des Armes Hotel. On a mild or warm afternoon, the patio teems with guests. Enter through the main level hotel restaurant. Signs or staff will direct you to the elevator leading to the terrace on the 8^th floor.
The terrace has good views, depending on where you sit. Also, you might end up in a sunny or shady side of the patio, so renember your sunglasses. There are bar seats, as well as high top and regular tables.
The cocktail prices here are in the 12 – 16 $ range. The red wine sangria was particularly good (14 $).
The only drawback here was the presence of both bees and flies. After battling the yellow jackets at the bar, the staff graciously seated me at a table.

Awesome city views, especially of the Cathedral. Trendy and sophisticated atmosphere. Great place for a cocktail and light bites on a sunny summer day!

Great second tier patio on top of Place D’Arms hotel. Tables in and out of the sun, so you can tan or not. Excellent selection of cocktails including lovely red and white sangrias.
I ordered the steak tartare for lunch and it was marvellous. Well presented and well seasoned.
Just enter the hotel and go to the 8^th floor. Pass the first empty patio and continue to the roof!
