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 :)

Pasta are delicious and they have a good wine selection

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 we're in Montreal.

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 that's 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, don't get me wrong, but nothing about it stands out to justify the price point. And frankly, I make a better ragu.Being italian, it's hard to recommend ANY italian place, but unless you're trying to impress someone who's never had italian food, I would not recommend going.
This place is great, the food especially the past is superbe. We ate at the bar and the bartender was very nice. My friend had a cocktail ? she really enjoyed. We shared a couple very good and fresh appetizers and then both had incredible pasta. Granted at 40$ for a plate of pasta ? it better be incredible and it didn't disappoint ?.Finding parking around this spot is absolutely hell do so I suggestParking: Make sure you get there early as parking is horrible in this area so don't be too late for your reservation.
Came with a group of seven, which meant had to have the table d'hote. 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.

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.
