Just popped in for a drink before our dinner. What a jewel of a place. Great wines and cocktails. Laura was amazing attentive server and Matt was very personable and engaging. Terasse (patio for non Quebecers) looked beautiful but we did not partake. Awesome place, do try when next in the area, you will love it.

What a beutiful cafe nook in Dorval - one that blew my mind when I first discovered it. Ôra has made such a beautiful environent to enjoy a fine variety of foods and drinks. My wife and I went in and got ourselves a Brazillian Coffee; It was phenomenal. I can't begin to explain how beautiful their back yard (exterior) sitting area is... It's whimsical, beautiful, comforting, and just such a pleasure to enjoy. If you're looking for one of those nooks where you can enjoy a wide variety of fantastic choices, please give this place a shot. We went at night, and it as a very memorable experience - I suggest you pick up a nice ice cream at Safari next door and then swing by Ôra for a delicious coffee (alchoholic or not), you won't be disappointed. If ice cream isn't your thing then just slide right in! There are seats indoors, extrior seating at the front and back - but the back is just magical - again, highly recommend. Staff is friendly, funny, inviting, and the entire place is just a fantastic time. A+++

Really nice place in old Dorval. Hidden away but really trendy! They have an awesome terrasse in the back with fire pits, very nice atmosphere. Great drink options - alcohol, non, and coffees/teas. Few tapas to share - had the charcuterie which was delicious. Took a while to get served and receive food, but was not in a rush! Trying the Thursday tapas special this week !

What a pleasant surprise. Don’t bother going downtown because you can just come here for great vibes and better prices. We met Mathieu the owner, who is a great guy. You could tell he’s putting a lot of love into his space. I would highly recommend coming for drinks and appies.

Gorgeous spot for a drink and a little nosh. Hubby said that the homemade chai in his dirty chai was good. I had mint tea with fresh mint leaves, honey and a slice of lemon. We then shared the mozzarella plate and the dips plate. The artichoke dip was divine. Dips had very generous servings. Inside was nice, they also had terrasses in the front and back. Street parking available.

We spent an absolutely wonderful evening in this café and cocktail for my 55th birthday! Everything was perfect: from the warm welcome to the exceptional quality of the dishes. Every bite was a delight, and the ambiance was simply charming. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the waitresss recommendations were excellent. It was a real favorite of the 40 guests who were present, and we will undoubtedly come back. Thank you Mathieu to you and your team for this unforgettable birthday experience! See you soon

One of my favourite hidden gems in Dorval! The best place to hang out with friends and grab a drink or a bite to eat. The staff is absolutely amazing and super friendly. The drinks are a bit pricey but worth it nonetheless. The food is also delicious with fresh and high quality ingredients. The atmosphere is super chill and laid back with great ambiance and chill music. I can t recommend this place enough for people looking for a place to end their night with great food, great drinks and a relaxed vibe!

My opening: the cocktails are absolutely fantastic. Ive had many in my life, but never have I had such consistent quality. The tapas style food is also of really good quality and authentic - my wife (shes from spain) said this is literally what you would get from a spanish restaurant if you ask for the individual items so it holds up^^ The outside patio looks charming and welcoming, although it only opens up tomorrow so we missed that. The owner is very open and passionate about his service and the quality of his products. Ill be coming back on a hot summer afternoon for another cocktail on the patio this time! Cheers!

This is a charming cafe and cocktail bar in Dorval. The back garden is lovely, especially in the evening, when they light the fires and the fairy lights come on. Theres a lot of comfortable seating, its a great place to relax with friends. We had the wacky watermelon cocktail and the thyme of your life cocktail. They were both very delicious and fresh.

Twice I come in this place. Beautiful atmosphere but always same two customers lady with big hat and young man probably never used a shower smell of urine and dirt from them. Cant stand the bad smell. Will never come again.

Terrasse arrière et resto wow mais le service lent, désordonné et peu accueillant ainsi que la nourriture très ordinaire avec un faible rapport qualité/prix font en sorte que je ne peux vous recommander ce restaurant. Les drinks étaient bons. Un peu cher. Nous voulions encourager un resto local, mais malheureusement nous n y retournerons pas.

What an amazing place! I had the chance to visit here on 3 different occasions once for a bachelorette dinner, another time for drinks and dinner with friends and another for a small high school reunion. It was also a joy to coordinate the latter with Matthieu, the owner. The drinks are well made (and well-priced I might add!), service is warm and efficient, food (tapas-style) is made with love and flavorful and the ambiance is superb. That terrasse is especially beautiful and romantic! Great for couples, groups and those going solo! What a gem!

We tried Ora Café & Cocktail this morning as part of our local coffee shop discovery journey. I had a flat white and wifey had a mochaccino (I did a coffee run for her). We were served by a very friendly owner who gave us a brief history of the shop (new since May 2020). The two drinks had a strong and rich coffee flavor. I appreciate that the owner asked me if wifey wanted her mochaccino on the sweet side or not. And note that the mochaccino was made using real chocolate. It came with some nice tasting and crispy biscottis. We will happily go there during summer, sit on the back terrace and taste their cocktails.

Amazing selection of wine, cocktails, rly rly good coffee, coffee-cocktails, delicious great quality tapas, and the service was OUTSTANDING, honestly the best service I ve ever had with lovely lovely humans working here.
