Neighbourhood gem

Opened in 2011, Nora Gray is one of those perfect little restaurants that never gets old: cozy, warm with exceptional hospitality. Nora Gray serves traditional Italian fare using exclusively the best locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. Fresh handmade pasta, meats grilled over charcoal as well as an award winning wine program have kept Nora Gray one of the top restaurants in Canada for almost 15 years.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Dmetro Sinclair

From the OpenTable editors: Southern Italian cooking and a lively, candle-lit ambiance make for a magical dining experience at Nora Gray. Like the setting, the food feels comforting yet polished, from an always-changing line-up of scratch-made pasta to hearty entrees like Berkshire pork shoulder with rapini. While wine is a classic choice for this soulful fare, the inventive cocktails also stand out.

Nora Gray has been recommended to us multiple times over the years, we finally made it out and absolutely loved it. The restaurant is very cozy, gave me all the feels :) love the lower ceilings, the wood paneling on the walls, and the intimate lighting. We sat at the bar, in my opinion it’s the best seat in the house. The service was excellent! Lexi was our bartender/server. The menu is all in French, she did an excellent job explaining each dish. We had the focaccia to start, followed by their winter salad. Next was the mackerel and oyster mushroom dish. Followed by 2 pasta dishes (we ordered the small plates so we could try more). Ended the night with a persimmon dessert. Everything we ate was phenomenal, we loved all the flavours, especially anything with a little spice. My husband doesn’t drink so he had excellent none alcoholic drinks and I tried their wine. The selection was excellent!! We can’t wait to come back next time we are in Montreal!

The service is impeccable very helpful staff that the menu is only in French especially for tourists is unfortunate. The best part of our meal was the rib steak we ordered it was cooked to perfection however the pork shoulder could have been elevated by charing the fat and the veggie we ordered was cooked inconsistently part of the turnips were overdone while the other smaller ones under cooked the starter with reduced milk and anchovy paste while good didn't need the pickled french beans didn't balance it out. The other starter was a pasta roulade and not sure the pasta part was suppose to be crispy, it just tasted dry. Overall we were disappointed in our meal
