Nora Gray in Montreal

Okay, I won t talk about the food, vibe, energy, wine, etc.. because I mean, come on, they are 5/5 on every single aspect. But one thing to add: I lost my not very cheap sunglasses on their terrace few months ago, and I thought I lost it completely, but they didn t only find it and tried to reach me to get it back, but once I wasn t able to answer their calls for whatever reason, they KEPT it until I showed up again, and they remembered it. I mean what kind of elegance and safe is this place. It s unbelievable, and I will be forever grateful for that. And it s not about the sunglasses at all, it s about the gesture :) Bravo!

The restaurant is small and dark. Some of the dishes are excellent while others are just average and very expensive.

If youre looking for a five-star, cozy fine-Italian experience, this is it. Its pricey but the food is incredible - Im vegan and they accommodated me with apps and a main. The wine list is fantastic and their staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Fantastic place.

I had expectations because it had been recommended to me and was a big disappointment. We waited more than 45 minutes between the starters and the main course... Very basic starters, too basic for the price. And regarding the dish, I received a pasta dish with classic white flour pasta and whole wheat flour mixed... it looked more like a leftover pasta that someone tried to pass off as normal ....

Salad was good, but olive oil was not. Fish did not have any taste. Also, end seat at the bar is not a seat, theres no place for your legs, they really should not offer it.

Best spot in Montreal hands down. From the vibe to the food the staff is super knowledgeable

Most fabulous

Very good dishes, correct portion. Everything is well done A pleasant experience

Food was really good, although the portion sizes are a bit small for the price. This was also the first Italian restaurant Ive been to where you have to pay for bread. Desserts are underwhelming, the $12 peach donut was barely filled and the gelato selection is 2 scoops. The waitress asked us for allergies at the beginning of the meal which we provided (almonds), and then recommended and served a dessert with almonds towards the end. The almonds were not mentioned in the menu description. If the allergy was serious this could have put someone into anaphylactic shock. If youre going to ask about allergies at the very least you should try to remember them. When we pointed this out she just said Oh and gave us the machine to pay. The service in general wasnt great which is strange because the restaurant is very small and they had at least 5 waiters. We finished our water during our appetizer and it wasnt refilled until wed finished our entrees. If youre willing to pay this much for dinner I would recommend just going down the street to Joe Beef. Total bill for 2 people including tip, one appetizer, one drink, two entrees, and two desserts was around 200. Do with this what you will. Dietary restrictions: Allergies were disregarded

We had really high expectations and had wanted to go for a long time. The food was fine; the portion sizes and associated prices were disappointing to the point of being kind of insulting. $56 for 4 strips of steak that can be made at home (and they have the nerve to charge any sides a la carte), a literal spoonful of the described puree of honeyed butternut squash side...again, the food tasted good but certainly not incredible and not worthy of the prices charged. Even the agnoletti starter tasted like grocery store-bought pasta. I know that sounds awful; I really WANTED to love it. The place is cute and cozy, the atmosphere was nice, but the service was indifferent at best, and nothing on the menu was anything that even an intermediate level cook couldnt just do at home..nothing inventive or creative or even especially tricky to cook. Too bad.

Cold service Ridiculous portions High prices Flavors on point

Delicious food, cozy ambiance and wonderfully helpful staff ! 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent service, good pasta, small portions, overrated

Very nice menu. Adorable and attentive service. Delicious food. Portions more than enough for two retirees! We will come back!

We ate here for the first time Thursday night. My husband and I shared a salad, our own small portions of pasta, and individual entrees. The ingredients and preparation of each course were excellent, and the service staff were skilled and kind. The wine our server recommended was a pleasure all on its own, pairing beautifully with our food and distinctive enough to warrant a google search for future purchasing. Meticulous but unpretentious, it was a meal to be savored.

My party of two was made to wait 30+minutes for our pasta course to arrive, watching other tables who were sat after us finish and pay before we received our main course. The server/bartender only acknowledged our wait just before the pasta was to be served and upon setting down the plates mentioned that they would be complimentary due to the inconvenience. When it came to payment I noticed the pasta was still on the bill and was told he had said dessert would be complimentary - which was a lie. Ive worked in restaurants of this calibre and this night was horrendously managed.

All the dishes we ordered were amazing. One of the best Italian restaurants we have tried. Highly recommended.

Awesome staff & Best pork chop Ive ever had. Always very creative & delicious pasta dishes.

A very charming restaurant with great food!

Outstanding food and service! Thanks to Zach

We always have an excellent experience at Nora Gray. Thank you! Vegetarian options: Always at least one great vegetarian main as well as several starters. And usually willing to offer and accommodate other veggie options as well! Food : 5/5 |

Great discovery! The pasta is delicious.

Waited 2 hours hours for our food. Unacceptable. Super tasty once we got it. Food

The main dishes at around $45 contain tiny portions (3 bites per dish and Im not exaggerating). There were 3 of us and we shared 2 starters and 3 main courses and we were still hungry.

Fabulous small restaurant with very interesting wine (and knowledgeable sommelier). Loved the stuffed zucchini flowers in particular. Just a wonderful, memorable meal!

Lovely atmosphere, very warm and cozy. The service was attentive. We ordered the summer salad and two pastas as mains. Unfortunately nothing wowed us.

The food was extraordinary and the service was fantastic. Each dish- crudo, zucchini blossoms, rabbit, lobster pasta was absolutely delicious. We were visiting from NYC and had never been to Montreal- so choosing this restaurant for our anniversary was a sublime choice. Run, dont walk to get here!

A big joke. I paid $19 for 5 pieces of pasta. The food is expensive for nothing. Condescending service. In short, this restaurant is not worth the hype.

Went here on a whim a few weeks ago and was blown away by the service and food. A spot was saved for me at the bar after calling ahead last minute and the bartender did a great job setting me up through the menu. Fantastic food and wonderful atmosphere. Can t wait to go back next time I m in town.

Exceptional in every way. Superb service. Outstanding food (the grilled cabbage antipasto will change your view of cabbage). Highly recommend!

Nora Gray was an excellent combination of great food, attentive service, and unhurried dinner ambiance. Simon was our waiter and checked in regularly with us; he answered all of our questions and selected a wine to go with my dinner. The hostess also made a huge difference by seating new diners in different corners of the room rather than lumping everyone into the same section. Everything we ate was delicious, but the pastas stood out in particular. The sauces were extremely fresh and vibrant, and my pappardelle was made in-house that day and basically melted in the mouth. Between the generous amount of snow crab in my pasta and the huge, impeccably seared sea scallops I had for secondi, this place more than scratched my itch for seafood. We finished the meal with their in-house salted caramel gelato, amaretti, and espresso as a dessert, which I would highly recommend. We will definitely be back here the next time were in Montreal.

Pasta are delicious and they have a good wine selection

love this place super cool 1970s paneled basement vibe paired with a fantastic food and beverage program (u must get at least one pasta) all combined with team service that delivers a perfect evening.

I had a beautiful dining experience here on April 25. Service was friendly, attentive and provided knowledgeable recommendations. The lamb meatball spaghetti was superb. Well curated wine list - suited to the restaurant. Cool, fun, interesting and delicious! I will definitely be back & highly recommend you to visit :)

Great service, amazing food and drinks.

Nora Grey is a highly celebrated restaurant in Montreal. In terms of service and atmosphere, I can see why. The food though? Good, but way overpriced. Like WAY overpriced. 60$ for half a bavette, and a salad thats been hit with an Exterminatus of parmesan. To illustrate why this is crazy, a steak-frites at Au Pied De Cochon is 40$. 45$ for gnocchi, fettucini ragu and 2 other pasta dishes. The food ia good, dont get me wrong, but nothing about it stands out to justify the price point. And frankly, I make a better ragu. Being italian, its hard to recommend ANY italian place, but unless youre trying to impress someone whos never had italian food, I would not recommend going.

Best Italian! Everything was delicious, including the stone crab pasta!!!

Service was amazing food was very good

Food was excellent and our server was very knowledgeable :)

A yummy t bone steak which was perfectly cooked for us.

My new favorite place

Everything was so delicious! The ambiance and service were top notch too. We personally recommend the ricotta gnocchi, spaghetti with mushrooms/nuts, and chocolate-espresso mousse.

Absolutely loved this place, cant wait to go back!

I ate last night for the first time at the Nora Gray restaurant. It was for a friends birthday and we were a group of 3. I liked the warm welcome and cozy atmosphere of the restaurant from the moment I arrived. The cocktail I had as an aperitif, the Erbosa Club, was absolutely delicious. I ordered the homemade Foccacia and Fettuccine with beef ragout and parmesan as a starter, then the grilled sweetbreads as a main course. The Foccacia was tasty, accompanied by pepperoncini and great quality olive oil. The half-portion pasta was a perfect preamble to my main course. The creamy sauce of the beef stew was delicious. Being a big fan of sweetbreads, I order them very often in restaurants and those from Nora Gray, served on a spelled risotto and garnished with a horseradish gremolata, were sublime, grilled to perfection. The service was extraordinary and made our evening an extremely enjoyable and memorable experience. After we expressed our tastes in wine, we were offered 3 bottles and we chose a completely divine Chablis! For dessert, the chocolate-espresso mousse topped with sponge cake and pistachios perfectly complemented our feast. Hats off to the entire Nora Gray team! When leaving I had only one regret: not having tried this restaurant sooner; I will definitely return and I recommend it without hesitation! *** Last night was my first meal at the Nora Gray restaurant.

Wow, what a great experience! We went there as a couple, at the counter-bar. Our waitress/barmaid was pleasant, smiling, efficient. Our starters and main courses charmed us all. Homemade pasta is delicious. Warm, gentle atmosphere. A perfect evening!

Really excellent everything was perfect I recommend this restaurant without hesitation

An evening well spent with the fabulous team at Nora Gray. We opted to have Lexi guide us through the menu, bringing us whatever selection of food and wine she saw fit. The outcome was a delightful cross section of the house favorites. The last included a memorable Grappa by Frank Cornelissen (Distillato di Magma) and a Fettuccini with beef Ragu that will keep Nora Gray in our thoughts permanently. Go for the wine and food of course, but stay for the stellar service in the most intimate of rooms. Thank you for having us Lexi & Co. We look forward to many happy returns. Melissa + Alex

I wanted to reach out to them directly rather than leaving a review but I got ignored when I sent them an email and instagram message. Two weeks ago , my friends and I had a reservation at 9 pm. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we waited 45 minutes for our table. While I understand unforeseen circumstances, I believe the service fell short. Respecting reservations is crucial, especially given the challenge of securing one at this establishment. We weren t offered water or assistance with our coats, and we didn t receive an apology. While the food was excellent, I believe service is just as important. Our waiter seemed disengaged, was reading from the menu without offering explanations or assistance when we were asking questions. As someone who frequents Montreal s dining scene and works in the service industry myself, this experience was disappointing.

Excellent food, the service was not up to standard, very careless and uninterested.

Came with a group of seven, which meant had to have the table dhote. This was fine because it gave us a nice selection to share. When we arrived, the small spot was loud and already crowded for a Thursday night. It was a little too loud and crowded for a refined experience. We had a booth for 6, but remember, there were 7 of us, so it was tight quarters! We started with foccacia with excellent olive oil and spicy pepper dip. Entrees and pasta were substantial and flavourful. I enjoyed the burratta and gnochi. The ravioli was also a hit, with a nice toothsome feel to the al dente pasta. The steak and seared pork was excellent and well seasoned. They provided an order of giant seared scallops for our non-red meat eating friend. The scallops may have been the best thing on the table! The desserts were tasty but not exemplary, but the espresso drinks were very good. For $150 total per person, we felt we received plenty of food and options. However, the loud, hectic atmosphere and the very cramped seating detracted from an otherwise interesting gastronomic experience.

(English below) Eat duck breast menu And try tasting some of my friends pasta. Personally, the duck taste was not to my liking, and the pasta, although it tasted good, But the noodles seem not cooked enough. Still hard. Food waited more than 1 hour to eat, and some things we ordered didnt come. The bill didnt come. Must call round 2 The music was very loud. I dont know much about talking to friends, Overall, the price is high, the quantity is small, the taste is not amazing, and I am not impressed. I had the pan seared duck breast and some kind of pasta. The duck breast was okay, nothing that wowed me. The pasta tasted amazing, but it was way undercooked. We waited for the food for over an hour. We ordered some food that never came. We had to ask for the bill twice. The music was way too loud as well. For the premium price the portion of food is very small. I am not too impressed overall.

The staff, decor and ambiance created a charming and elegant feeling. Everything from the cocktails we had(Negroni Sbagliado & Gimlet) to the amazing food (Burrata Salad, Porc, Anolini) to the desert(affogato) was presented with attention to detail and high quality ingredients. I would recommend anyone with the budget to eat here.

Cozy little place with incredibly friendly and efficient service. Highly recommend the ricotta gnocchi and the chocolate mousse! Vegetarian options: A little limited for vegetarian options but so yummy!

Super!

Nora Gray gives Italy a run for its money. The pasta is impeccable, like someone s nonna is in the kitchen but not a regular nonna, a cool nonna. The perfect balance of simple and unexpected. Absolutely stunning every single time. Even though the pasta is the star of the show, the secondi dishes also never fail to impress. Last night s scallops were cooked to perfection. Wine recommendations consistently immaculate, exciting, recommended with a daring confidence that you ll simply adore. The hostess, Shelby, is delightful and I ve never had a less than excellent waiter. Service and dining a 10/10. This spot is easily one of the best restaurants in Montreal. The perfect date spot.

Superb address. Very good dishes and friendly servers!

Excellent all around, every single dish hit. Service super. Interior is

Fireworks for the taste buds and comfort for the heart. Everything was top notch. A gem to discover. We will definitely go again. I nostri complimenti al chef Emma.

Went there with my wife before the Habs game. Beautiful atmosphere. This is not a large restaurant so I recommend making a reservation. Staff was very polite and friendly. We sat at the bar, our server was excellent and patient explaining the items on the menu. There was a very variety of items on the menu, from pasta, to meat, to fish and duck. Their financial bread is to die for. I had the pork, it was absolutely excellent. We will definitely go back.

Really wanted to give this place 5 stars. Everything about the meal was excellent, until the final dish. We ordered a pork chop to share, and half of it was fat. We brought that to the attention of our waiter, who told us thats how its served and proceeded to be a bit snippy the rest of the meal. Well, damn, son. Lovely bottle of wine, though.

My favorite restaurant in town ! The food is AMAZING, the service is perfect and the atmosphere is really nice. The spots at the bar are really nice for 2 people

We were very much looking forward to our first experience of this highly regarded restaurant. Unfortunately, the evening was an unexpected disappointment. Our server had little interest in us- it was 15 minutes after we had been seated before she stopped by the table to take our drink order, and only because we approached her. One drink came a few minutes later, the other did not show up until, after ten minutes, we sought her out again. For our main course, we ordered the steak. It came too rare and was incredibly tough- at $140, it was a gouge. After struggling with it fir gen minutes, we tracked down the server again to ask her to return it to the kitchen. The place has charm, and I know from friends whose view I trust that, on a good night, it provides a wonderful experience. But this night was a let down, at least for us.

We had a wonderful night dining at Nora Grays. Everyone was so nice and welcoming and the food continued to surprise us with how good it was.

Very cool place Bartender/server (Dua Lipa?!) was awesome and treated us very well Enjoyed all our dishes Food : 5/5

Lots of expectations for this restaurant with a warm atmosphere and they were met! Lots of choices of dishes and portions for all kinds of appetites and tastes. I highly recommend and will be back!

The pork special was out of this world. Make sure you ask the servers what the tastiest dishes are. Good times

Although we had good comments from friends and colleagues about this restaurant- we were terribly unsatisfied with our experience there last night- New Year s Eve. Entering we noticed that it was very warm inside the restaurant- stuffy! We were seated and at this point realised it was a fixed menu for this evening, I think we would have chosen another place for dinner had we known that. I presume if you are a regular at Nora Gray you may have been aware of this. The courses came to our table of four in a share the plate type of service- which we had agreed to with our waiter. The food on the plates was not piping hot and for sure not of value to the price being charged- which was $200/person- fairly unreasonable for what was served up. Price by the way was not advertised nor written or spoken about anywhere. Nope, came away form this restaurant with a bad taste in my mouth and won t be going back or recommending it, unsatisfied and disappointed .

Wonderful place! Every dish is unique and very tasty. The staff members are beyond nice, friendly, and truly on top of their game! Portions are a good size and can be shared between 2-3 people. The best dish in my opinion is scallops with mashed potatoes and the best dessert is panna cotta.

Traveling on vacation to Montreal for the first time, I went to Nora Gray based on good reviews. The atmosphere was good, cozy and pleasant, and the service was excellent. The smoked celery root appetizer was good, as were the fried smelts. I got the pasta special, with a sauce with duck hearts and goose liver. The sauce had good flavor, but the pasta was underdone. I don t know that I ve ever had undercooked pasta an any Italian restaurant. This is a mortal sin. If God is Italian, he will judge and condemn this restaurant for its few grievous sins, and not for its many virtues.

Amazing food!!! Great staff and good service. Love the ambiance too !

Visiting Nora Grey in a hip neighbourhood of Montreal was truly a delight! The quaint atmosphere adds to the charming ambience and kept us feeling relaxed throughout our meal. Every dish is cooked with fresh, seasonal ingredients - from the delicious pasta to the succulent scallops - it was hard not to be impressed by their drool-worthy menu. The staff are both attentive and kind, so all requests were sorted promptly and with plenty of smiles! And for all you wine lovers out there, Nora Greys great selection of wines is sure to tantalise your taste buds. Overall, this hidden gem has been a joy for us and well certainly be back for more yummy Italian cuisine!

What a wonderful find! Sat at the bar, served by Lexi who is amazing, knowledgeable, helped us choose a great wine, she made our night. Food was delightful!

Girls night out. Excited to try this montreal institution but sadly it really fell short for my friend and I. Service very long, took over 1.5 for mains to arrive. We were famished. Good thing cause the waitress didn t bother to tell us what we ordered was really for 4-5 people what a waist. Wasn t bad piece of lamb, over cooked sure but gigantic and really not was we expected. Also when picking wine she cared enough to ask for budget while still exceeding it was that great either. Oh well. Guess was a theme. Maybe another waiter would have been a better fit !

Excellent service. Adequate value for money. Good Italian cuisine. However, the insulation of the restaurant is really unpleasant dinner with coats

In online restaurant reviews, the exaggerations like this is the best dish of something nice Ive ever had in my life! abound. This is why I try not to get lost in extravagance and provide a sincere perspective on what I have consumed. However, it is despite this duty of restraint that I impose on myself that I must admit that the pasta at Nora Gray was among the best that my dining partners and I had the chance to taste. The cream of the crop for a very reasonable price (from $33 to $40 for full portions). Weve set our sights on the half-portion size of all the pasta available for half the price. This is a great strategy for tasting everything! Our absolute favorite: linguini with squid ink in a nduja sauce. In second place, we find the strozzapretti with braised pork. I affirm that whatever you choose will delight you. Dont forget, however, to start the evening with grilled broccoli. This green vegetable so abhorred by children (and sometimes adults) has never tasted so good. For dessert, serve yourself a nice slice of carrot cake, a cake that the troop loved. I would like to point out in passing that throughout the evening we were treated to magnificent service, all smiles and good humor. Ultimately, Nora Gray is a small-format Italian restaurant with a simple but warm and enchanting decor that will nestle in your heart. You will come back, guaranteed. Vegetarian options: This is not a good place for vegetarians, unless you only want to eat starters. They are excellent, all the same. Parking: Few places nearby, but on both sides, on one way and close to the Bell Center Wheelchair accessibility: No automated doors

Food was absolutely amazing! All of the wait staff were incredibly lovely, with impeccable service and great suggestions. Ambiance was very warm and our neighbor table was delightful. 100% recommend

Excellent service, water immediately re-served when the glass is empty, very friendly and table cleaned between each service. Little wait and quiet location in a subdued, intimate atmosphere. Pleasant and gentle music but a bit too loud for my taste. Very good dishes with a good balance of textures regarding vegetarian dishes and correct portions. I recommend it for a romantic dinner in a charming setting. Vegetarian options: 2 choices for antipasti 1 bonus choice 0 choices for second

This was the second time going to Nora Gray and it left me feeling complete. All the dishes were flavourful. The smelt entrée and mushroom bolognese pasta were my favourites! Staff super attentive and dope playlist. I always recommend it to my friends

Outstanding service, atmosphere and food. Best pork and scallops I ve had in my life. The sides were delicious as well. Hands down top Italian restaurant in Montreal. Very Gluten Free friendly!

The food is exquisite!

Poor service, overpriced and disappointing dishes, uncomfortable chairs, freezing room temperature! To avoid :)

Mediocre 1* restaurant, cold and tasteless dish. We wrote to the restaurant to tell them about our experience, with no response. AVOID! Go to Joe Beef, Montreal Plaza, Beba, Vin mon Lapin, and more for a true culinary experience.

Meh, I guess this place went down hill over the years it was good. Just not what it used to be. So many better options out there

The service and ambience were incredible. Felt totally taken care of. The kitchen was amazing as well, the food was executed well but I just didn t like it. I ve tasted better in similarly priced restaurants. It was more that the dishes on the menu weren t great.

Beautiful place, good atmosphere, pleasant and attentive service, but disappointed by the food. The starter of celery root and yellowfin tuna was good, however the tuna was conspicuous by its absence... Perhaps an oversight... I leave doubts hovering... However, the pasta lacked cooking and was quite alone in the plate. The carrot cake was very good. In short, very expensive for not much on your plate...

Amazing meal, great wines, cozy vibe, perfect place to have a smooth enjoyable dinner. Arianne s hospitality at the bar was simply perfect. A montreal must try.

Small, super trendy ambiance. Amazing food, amazing cocktails, amazing wine selection. Staff were amazingly accommodating--when they noticed that I accidentally shifted our table making it uneven/rock, one of them showed up without even asking and adjusted it for us. Definitely hoping to return the next time I am in Montreal.

Everything about this place was lovely, except the food. Some of the dishes were delish and some were okay. We liked the appetizers and one of the pastas, but the main of spicy scallops with puréed beans, Brussels sprouts and nduja really didn t pair well (in our humble opinion). The ice cream wasn t very good, either. Wine was yummy, service was great; decor, ambiance and music were fab. Wish everything else had been better!

Very niche and hipster restaurant. Their specialty is with their homemade pasta. A bit expensive for the size and taste.

One of the best places Ive been in Montréal. Food is amazing, atmosphere is second to none and custom drinks are to die for. Lexi is one of the best bartenders in Montreal. Definitely worth a visit.

Refined Italian with superb wine list. Cozy atmosphere.

Went with group of 3 and the food was delicious and the service outstanding! Well done

One of the best Italian restaurants in Montreal. Service is ALWAYS on point and food is extremely creative. They make all the pastas in house and always have awesome specials. Their wine list is super affordable and well sourced from small producers you wont find in Saq. Their bar staff is creative and can whip up any custom drinks. 10/10 we come all the time and will continue to do so.

Our first time visiting Nora Gray and we weren t disappointed. If you re unsure of what to get just go ahead and order them all. The pastas and rabbit were to die for. The ambiance and wine list are impressive and service was top notch as always at the Gray family of restaurants. Thank you, we will be back!

First time there and we got spoiled!! Everything was on point from the moment we walked in till we left! The food, classic Italian and extremely well prepared. The service, A1, our water glasses and wine glasses were always full, cleaned the table after every service, always around when we need them! The ambiance! Felt very cozy and almost like home. The wine selection is out of this world and they guide you very well through it!! Will be back to try the rest of the food because we rolled out of there! Planned to go out after but went straight home, and happily!! A must

Real good food and great service!

Wonderful dinner! The tuna starter and morel gnocchi were absolutely perfect! And what about their gelato with olive oil, surprising but absolutely delicious!!! Thank you Ariane and Lexie for the superb evening! We will definitely come back!

We had a great time here. The food was amazing, and also the people were really nice. For sure we are coming back.

The perfect place for a special evening. A very nice atmosphere, the dishes are delicious. My friends and I had great service from Shelby!! I recommend ++++

Fabulous!!

The food was so fresh and the menu was refined with local products and the meat was very tender and tasty. I would also like to thank Shelby for her curated wine recommendations that matched every plate of the dinner. I would highly recommend this place and would come back anytime soon

My experience at Nora Gray was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious but it was really the wine choices that took the experience to another level. I recommend 100% and I hope that sommelier Shelby will be there to advise you because her service was impeccable!

Great place, really hospitable and great staff. Had a great time. Dont order halfs! Order the whole plate.

As we arrived, our table was not ready yet. But the bar was quick in preparing our Negronis which we enjoyed on the bench outside. Inside the restaurant, our table was a little too small and rather close to the neighbors. However, the service was good and food was delicious. They need to expand their Grappa collection! A little incident with the fire alarm from the kitchen happened that night. Nothing serious.

Poor ambiance, poor decor, casually dressed unsophisticated service, average food quality

Gets better with every visit !

There are not many restaurants in which you can go alone and say you had an incredible time. But Nora Gray is one of them. The food, the ambiance, and the charismatic staff make this one of the most appealing spots in the Montreal. Had a three meal course plus cocktails and my main regret was that I couldnt try more items in the menu.

WOW! Simply WOW! This is a five-star experience that has nothing to do with all my other five star reviews (which were mostly about delivery). This was a truly high-cuisine experience combined with a discovery of interesting wines; I was reminded a bit of Bouillon Bilk. We had the lobster salad and the guinea fowl, both were absolutely stunning (and easy to digest!) The dessert was a wonderful mascarpone cake, enjoyed with dessert wines. In fact, we tasted four dessert wines and picked two. The one I drank was pure candy in the mouth, while my lady picked the dessert chardonnay which was more cerebral. Again, WOW!

Excellent from start to finish. Service, food and drinks were all superb. One of the best meals I ve had in recent memory!

Overpriced food , soaked salad, tasteless lobster pasta and fish . Service was excellent but felt sorry for them . Complained about my food but was charged closed to 400$ for a 3 person meal that wasn t worth it. Felt like a tourist trap .

Had a great night. Beginning to end. Food was superb!

Another amazing dinner in Montreal. Cool, intimate buzzy restaurant. Service amazing, food amazing, everything top notch. Another place I ll definitely visit again.

I went there for a last minute solo dinner at 9pm and Nora Gray never disappoints. I was seated at the bar and the whole staff was welcoming and the bartender was excellent with her attentiveness during my 2 course meal. The portions are decent for you to try a primo and secondi and I always try something new which never disappoints. They even provided enough bread for me to clean my plates. Definitely worth the money!

Delicious homemade pasta. Great service and wine selection.

Fresh ingredients and solid service. Highly recommend.

Hands down, Nora Gray is one of the best restaurants in the city. Quaint, intimate dining experience. Food and service is excellent.

Outstanding pasta! The food is delicious, atmosphere intimate, and you ll be wanting to come back. Everything we had was great. You can order a small pasta and an entree or a large pasta. The risotto special was particularly special. And the stuffed squash blossoms were delicious!

Small and cozy although a bit noisy. The food is good, extensive wine menu. The service was impeccable.

The tagliatelle (pasta) with chanterelle mushrooms was phenomenal. So was the grilled pork chop. Michelin star service, staff provided a great wine recommendation, extremely knowledgeable. Vegetarian options: Most pasta / primi dishes are vegetarian

Always a great time, love their pizza

Great food, pasta was delicious and the restaurant has a very cozy and vintage vibe. Definitely recommend!

Wow! Every dish was perfection. Fried zucchini blossoms, every pasta dish, the fish. Great NA beer list (always a surprise!)

Best food I have had this year

One of the best restaurants in Montreal, go there!!!!

Best steak I ever had and everyone is so nice and it was really good and really nice

Every dish was delicious, every mouthful was worth closing your eyes to savor. From starters to desserts everything was divine! What can we say about the super warm and personal service. Thank you for this great experience, we will be back very soon.

Ive eaten here more times than I can count, and each time is better than the last. Incredible food, the pasta is to die for and their olive oil gelato takes me right back to Italy. The restaurant is small so it can get loud and crowded sometimes but the service is top notch and the food is so good it makes up for it. Book in advance or youll be waiting a week for a spot.

Excellent food and service. Drinks were also amazing.

The food and service are wonderful! Im not sure why the feel the need to play VERY loud disco ish music. It makes it impossible to carry on a conversation. We would have stayed for desert, but couldnt stand the deafening drum beat any longer.

The pasta was bland and acidic, the eggplant tasted microwaved and when I complained to a server, they didnt apologize or provide a refund, they told me that people love it. Avoid at all costs.

Delicious Italian cuisine and impeccable service in a beautiful, upscale bistro atmosphere.

The pasta was so bland I took a Covid test when I got home

overpriced east side mario s, boston pizza is better inch allah

We had a group menu here for my birthday and it was amazing! Great service, great wine and delicious food. Probably the best pastas in Montreal.

Dinner was at the bar served by Simon. The food was lovely and I like the option of half portion pasta as we are not big eaters. Pasta was our choice and it was fantastic - agnolotti and spaghetti. The focaccia was really good as was the cannoli dessert! Dinner here is comfortable and inviting like you were eating at a friends place! Finally a word about Simon. We left our wine dinner pairing to him and he selected well and when I spilled my wine while trying my partners pasta he immediately cleaned up and replaced my spilled wine no charge. Class all the way!

Very good nice place

Hits all the notes, great atmosphere, good food and service. Wine list was a biiiiiit underwhelming but the food really made up for it. Beautiful night out! Will definitely visit again.

I had their mushroom ragu tagliatelle OVER a YEAR ago that was so good that i check their menu every week to see if they brought it back

Great food, loved the pasta dish. Service was excellent and the atmosphere is amazing as well.

9.99/10 Absolutely amazing, but the bathroom is just kinda meh Food : 5/5

Great RQP. Everything was inspired and delicious. Beautiful natural wine list. Beautiful relaxed padded atmosphere. THANK YOU KATE* *jk

Duck ragu was amazing

Superb food: quality, quantity and flavour. I felt like I was eating in Italy again. Service was also excellent. The atmosphere is a bit crowded, some tables very close, but that wouldnt stop me from going back. A great restaurant.

I confirm that it is one of the best Italian restaurants in Montreal, it has been on my list for some time. And I didn t regret the experience.

A little gem for Montreal. Great wine selection, service and food.

Great experience , both the food and service were very good

The pasta dishes are simply lick off the plate delicious!

Very nice hidden gem in Montreal. We loved the atmosphere and the food. Drink menus also great!

I would recommend not to go. With so many better options in Montreal, I cannot figure out how this place exists.
