Reviews for Essence in Montréal, QC
There was a Friday event with regetteon music, I was there with my girlfriend and this place was hella weird. The Haïtians... bouncers were soo creepy and were manhandling every woman/girl close to them, they came through the dance floor every 5 minuteswith flashlights in everybodys faces and kept touching every girl they could from the waist or sticking their pants to them, mygirl and her friends got creeped out and i had to keep an eye on them for the rest of the evening. The owner HAS to change thesecurity. For the regetteon event, it only lasted 10 songs and then it changed to pop and today's hits, so not really the eventthey were promoting. Read more
Great service, food and atmosphere. We were able to walk in off the street and get a table right away.
Quite a nice experience and a good place to have for events or to go out for a night. It is right by McGill University too which... is perfect for student life. Read more
Good food, decent service. Only issue is that the dessert was super sweet. Calamari was amazing tho!
Service was great with kind staff. Food was delicious and atmosphere was nice. The price a bit more than I would normally pay... for the same items. Read more
This restaurant is located a few steps below ground level, but it has a lot of windows. It's very nice to be there on a sunny... day. The decoration is classy and the service is very attentive. My water glass was never empty. The food is good, but nothingextraordinary. It's a little pricier than your average restaurant but the location and service is worth it. I went there forlunch and I would go back. Read more
I have walked by here so many times but didn't take the time to check it out. I would say that it is worth the visit. Can't beat... the location, corner University (now Robert-Bourassa) and de Maisonneuve, with its beautiful terrace! The food on the website islisted as international; I feel like that just means delicious food with beautiful presentation. Even my salad was fancy! I willbe coming back this summer! Read more
