About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    We loved this restaurant. The food was incredible. We loved the steak tartar, the pasta, and the pork was so good. The service and the wine were so great. We can’t wait to go back.

    Nora Gray never disappoints. On a rainy night, it’s that neighbourhood place you want around the corner. Warm, inviting, great food. We started with well-made Negronis and some light nibbles (bread/olives). The spaghetti alla Nerona was delicious. As was the halibut — perfectly cooked. I personally prefer sitting at their lovely bar for a casual dinner or grab a table at the back for a romantic meal.

    We ate on the balcony. They called us a few hours before because a rain storm was about to happen. We went anyway and stayed dry under the canopy. The food is first class and the service was great and friendly. Nothing to leave wanting. Highly recommended.

    Excellent service. Three of us ordered the ravioli which was delicious. I ordered the spaghetti which was a little bland. We made last minute reservations which forced us to sit outside. The chairs outside were quite uncomfortable.

    A Taste of Nora Gray:Where Flavor and Hospitality Meet Nestled in the city Montréal , this vibrant Italian restaurant is a true gem, offering a delightful escape into the world of authentic italian flavor. The star of the show is undoubtedly the chef, staff and the hostess/manager. The menu is a celebration of Italian cuisine, with dishes that are as delicious as they are authentic. The flavors are bold and vibrant, perfectly complemented by its service. It’ can be place to meet up with friends and treat yourself to some exceptional drinks from the bar. Shelby and her team will ensure that your visit is nothing short of exceptional, leaving you eager to return for more.
