About this restaurant

Charming
Neighborhood gem
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.

Nora Gray is a Montreal gem that delivers perfection. The cozy, candle-lit ambiance, with sleek leather booths and warm wood, sets an intimate tone, matched by impeccable service. Our server’s expertise and warmth, paired with a stellar organic wine list, made the evening unforgettable. The Southern Italian fare shines—pillowy focaccia with top-tier olive oil started us off, followed by flawless handmade cavatelli and a juicy pork chop with braised cabbage. Every dish, crafted with fresh local ingredients, was sublime. Nora Gray is a must-visit, and we can’t wait to return!

What a fabulous experience! The waiter was the best waiter we’ve ever had, actually sat down with us to explain every dish and later to help us select the perfect wine to accompany the dishes we ordered. Everything was made with the freshest seasonal ingredients and the flavors were all amazing. The salad of spring greens and radishes was dressed perfectly and exploded with deliciousness in your mouth, as did the white asparagus! There were three of us and all the fishes were perfectly shareable, as the waiter explained, which was a good thing because we all wanted to sample everything!! We will definitely return on another visit to Montreal!
