Our experience at the Elixor restaurant was very good. It's location is in a shopping mall. Our server was friendly, and took our order without writing anything down on paper. We had numerous side request on our orders in our party of 6, such as, "no onions", "side order of ranch dressing", etc. When our order arrived, everything was correct! Our server, he has a photographic memory... Very impressive! The ambiance of Elixor is modern, with designs aimed for the young. The are lots seating for patrons who want to dine, or just want a drink and small bites. Overall, the food was good. We ordered a couple of the Old Fashion Burgers served with two Choices of either French Fries, Coleslaw, Black Bean Chili or Roast Garlic Mashed Potatoes. All burgers are cooked well-done. We added cheese to one burger, and mushrooms to the other. The burgers were very good. I prefer my burger to cooked medium. The Well-done burgers were a little dry for my liking. The fries were very delicious, not soggy or too crisp. The cheese cakes were winners too! Our experience at the Elixor was very good. I recommend giving Elixor a visit for a nice lunch or dinner if you're in Montreal. read more

We went for friend's bd. Reservation is good. The ambiance is ok . Service good & very polite. But the food not good at all. My husband & I ordered Cajun burgers & I ordered FRANK'S BBQ CHICKEN SANDWICH. Not good at all. Lots of onions, pieces of chicken, dry , test very bad . The only item I ate & finish was fries. I am not going back. read more

We came to Montreal for family vacation. We came here for dinner and surprisingly food was good here. Kids enjoyed. Recommended

Bon souper au bar. Choix de vins au verre la salade de thon frais et le fameux pâté chinois furent excellents Apple cobler etait tres bon. Le service au bar fut professionnel et amical read more

We decided to have dinner here on their outdoor terrace! What a wonderful place for terrace weather. Service: pretty outstanding fast and extremely effective. I can't complain.. the only thing I didn't like was our suggestion for an appetizer was pushed on to us and we were stuck with having avocado rolls .. yuckk lol they were the worst dish we had here I don't recommend it :/ i guess Im not into deep fried curry flavour kinda gal. Wish we skipped it! Main course: we enjoyed the roasted salmon dish in the salad menu And the light and fresh grilled chicken. The flavours were deelish and our mains were definitely a hit. Overall, wonderful service and food was delish minus those yucky rolls everything was spot on and I definitely recommend this place for a large group 9or just a romantic dinner date with your lover it's great! read more

In the past week I've eaten at Elixor twice because they are just that good. While trying to figure out where to eat we stumbled to the West Island and this was one of the first places we saw. When we arrived they had there lunch menu going but you could always order from the full menu. I decided to go with the chicken with avocado crema. This thing blew my mind it was a chicken breast topped with veggies and cheese and salsa and then a creamy avocado sauce. It was delicious. With the lunch menu you also get the option of having a soup or salad I opted for the salad and have never had a salad this big and tasty as a starter. And to finish off you get coffee or tea and it isn't any water down stuff or anything ! Apart from delicious food the decor in the building was really beautiful and the staff was helpful accommodating and funny. If you're ever stuck and don't know where to grab lunch this is a must eat spot read more

Not bad but pretty basic and pretty mid. There are better and homier breakfast spots out there.

Surprisingly delicious! We came here for dinner for 2 and it was really good! The atmosphere was nice and the service was great. I remember Elixor back when it was in dix30 and the food wasn't that good... but this one was surprisingly delicious. We knew this wasn't the best place to order steak since they do not specialize as a steakhouse. When going to a restaurant, people need to understand that restaurants have their speciality. Elixor has a huge menu with lots of option. Our order came with 2 options of side : garlic mashed potato, French fries, black bean chili and coleslaw. We ordered the Cajun Burger with garlic mashed potato and coleslaw and the Frank's bbq chicken sandwich. Both of our foods were yummy and huge in portion! Elixor is a little bit underrated, and I will recommend people to try this place if you are craving for a salad, sandwich, burger! P.S to the people who rated this place 2 stars: Don't come here and start ordering a steak to expect it to be like Moishe's or Grinder. To add, many people expect this place to be an upscale restaurant, but it is more of a casual one. Yes there are high ceilings but you need to set the right expectations, the decor is a little bit on the older side but if that is going to bother you, maybe you shouldn't eat here. read more

I really don't know how to start this review... Not because it was a bad experience... but because it wasn't amazing either. Went with some friends to enjoy a good meal... the menu tho... like 50pages... I couldn't decide if I wanted a burger, ribs.. Or the special table hote with dessert or just a coffee. I did order the tuna salad (with fresh tuna of course) and wasabi dressing. It was aightt. Haha but really.. it wasn't amazing it was pretty tasty but lacked that ... je ne sais quoi. ;p Overall... good layout. (Abit big tho) waiters are nice and the location is good. I would recommend it if you want to chill and and enjoy a ton of choices of food. Enjoy! read more

Revolting. I took my wife here for her birthday. She ordered the Grande Mexican Burrito. The dish looked delicious... but the first bite revealed a rubber band. We immediately went to the manager. His response? "it must have fallen in from somewhere. It happens. What do you want me to say." He then asked if she wanted another one. We said no then he grabbed the plate from my wife's hands and threw it, the fork and knife in the garbage and walked away. Not even an apology. Chewing on a rubber band that was wrapped up in your burrito: Disgusting. To be treated the way we were by the MANAGER?! Appalling. read more

ATMOSPHERE: Definitely a beautiful restaurant. Its spacious, nicely designed and seems a lot more grand than it really is. FOOD: We had the fish and chips, tri-tip steak and grilled salmon salad. The steak had no taste whatsoever, veggies were bland and overall, it just did not meet my expectations. It felt like they just microwaved the dish and served it to me. The fish and chips were ok, nothing stood out. The salmon was good, but not outstanding for the price we paid. Overall, everything seemed to lack flavour and I would not come back here again unfortunately. PRICE: Ranges from 18-33$ for the main dishes. The food is not worth the price you're paying though seeing how you could just go to other restaurants and get better food for the same price. SERVICE: Servers are quite friendly and quick. read more

The manager called me "sweetheart" after trying to explain the card machine . Fuck you, you condescending asshole. Is that a way to treat female customers? Go fuck yourself I'm taking my business elsewhere (also the mac n cheese ball was dry as fuck, unseasoned, and way too cheesy) read more

Elixor is a west island classic. Been there for years. Prices are very reasonable, portions are good and flavours are nice too. There is a good drinks selection. They seem to have renovated the bar section recently (& maybe the entire restaurant). In the winter time, we often go for the soup which is always tasty. There is a wide variety of plates. I sometimes just take one of the appetizers, which is a big enough portion for me. Of course, their specialty is cheese cake. Enjoy! read more

What I can say about this place is that they're known for the presentation. It reminded me of the Cheesecake Factory. Portions are huge and colourful. Everything the eye can see is beautiful. We ordered salads, burger sliders, Shepard's pie, breaded shrimps and bruschetta. Everything the mouth can taste lacked flavour(for me). Big space restaurant with a bar, great for big groups and family. Our server was polite and on the ball since we we about 10. I will not return but don't let this discourage you from giving it a try. You may like it! read more

My first experience was not great but I might give it another try... the fish needs a better batter, super greasy with small pieces of fish and the fries need an upgrade. sadly I left still hungry read more

Elixor is the go-to place for me when I have a big hunger. Despite going there at least once a month, I feel like things are always the same in every visit. There are way too much choices in the menu, I literally have to take 10-15mins to go though it and to make a decision on what I'm gonna eat. I'm pretty sure they think that the more choice the have, the better it is for the customer (which is true). I feel like when you have a big variety of food, it is easier to not be able to prepare that precise dish at it's finest. Other than that, the food is delicious and they are really generous on the portions. I got myself a creamy spinach and cheese dip as an entrée and I really liked it, but be careful if you order it as it almost made me full. My main dish was a chicken and rib combo. Very tender, easy to eat and filling. Unfortunately I couldn't make it for the dessert as I was full but if you do, you're a real soldier! Heard they were really good too :) read more

Was there a few times. Love the appetizers, especially the avocado rolls. (they don't want to give me the secret recipe) :-) They don't have the clothe napkins anymore. and their coleslaw salad has too much dressing. it is very "liquidy". read more

I've eaten here a few times, and while the food isn't that impressive, the restaurant as a whole is a pretty good bet for West Island dining. The menu is varied and the place has a classy atmosphere without pretending to be fancy. A few specifics: Love the avocado rolls. Good entrée salads. Avoid the pad thai, it doesn't taste like pad thai. Get dessert. read more

Made a reservation courtesy of the restaurant's affilliation with Open Table. It was real easy (30 minutes prior) and given it was a Saturday evening, I was very pleased that the booked time was confirmed. We got there 10 minutes prior and the hostess confirmed it BUT one of the managers said that while he would honor the reservation, he could not commit to the time as there were people waiting at the door for much longer than our party. I told him that was not my concern. If the restaurant wants to drive its business using social media then there are consequences and responsibilities they must accept. Ten minutes later we were seated. If the manager had said nothing, then this part of the review would have been omitted. BTW, after we were seated the line up disappeared. Our server Marco was great. We ordered a selection of meals off the Table d'Hôte and regular menu. The Caesar salad was very good. The strip sirloin was broiled and cooked as requested, medium rare. Excellent. One recommendation would be to include the weight of the raw steak on the menu. The fries were crisp. I would exclude the side "gravy". This steak doesn't need anything to enhance/complement its flavor beyond its grilled seasoning. The broiled shrimp with the steak and chicken meals were excellent, too. The large baby back ribs were enjoyed by two of our party. Finger-lickin' good. We as a group enjoyed our respective meals and the service received by our server, Marco. We wish that our initial experience with the manager had not affected our overall visit but it did. Worth a second visit. read more

My favourites are definitely the avocado rolls and the Asian chicken salad! Staff is always smiling and happy to serve you. Great for a small group or large group. Easy to find parking which is always a plus. read more

Big mistake choosing this restaurant for our date night. The menu is way to big and it's lacking focus. After contemplating for ever on what to order we both decided to play it safe and order the burgers. This burger was so bland, a McDonald's Big Mac has more flavour. I give it one star because out server was nice but other than that; ugly old decor, bad menu, bad food, I do not recommend! read more

The food was not good ! The steak was raw ! We sent it back & came back still rare .. we also sent two margaritas back as they tasted like salt & bleach .. the next ones were good . They paired the steak with onions? Then a basket of fries ? Very expensive for terrible food . I would not recommend nor would I ever go back . The only thing that was good was the Caesar salad . read more

We had made reservations for 8pm on a Saturday night for a girls' night. We got there at 8, and waited until 8:45 when we were finally seated. The hostess was cold and offered a simple "sorry" for our ridiculous wait. We weren't offered any sort of compensation (i.e. comp'd drinks or free dessert), which was pretty poor customer service. The place is decently decorated; it's made to look nice and grand, but I feel that the style they're going for isn't carried throughout their menu and staff style. The staff look like they work at Best Buy with their khakis with an apron. Our waiter was pretty nice though, which helped a little after our wait. We ordered libations and then our meals. I ordered the Spicy Thai Beef Tenderloin Salad, and asked for my met medium rare. When it came out, what I thought would be small strips of steak, turned out to be two skewers with ginormous chunks of beef. I was disappointed because although the beef was well seasoned, it came out rare (i.e. seared on each side and slid onto the skewer), and the meat was tough. The flavouring in the salad was decent, but quite frankly it's nothing to write home about. I was hoping dessert would be better because they are known for their cheesecake. That being said, I shared the brownie with ice cream with one of my girlfriends (it had been tempting us while we were waiting to be seated). One of the biggest underwhelm-ments (I know, that's not a word). The brownie was more walnut than chocolate, and the flavouring was off. All in all, I wasn't terribly impressed. I wouldn't recommend it to the next person. And if you do decide to go, don't bother with reservations; they sure aren't respected! read more

The 3 star rating for this place is not because i had a bad experience or that there was anything particularly negative , but just like a few of the other reviews on this page , I agree that there was nothing that made it a standout either. So firstly, the location is very big , a ton of seating even for large groups and the menu has enough options that even in a group of people with a variety of different tastes , they will likely be able to find something to order. The decor inside is very crisp, clean and inviting and service was also on point. Our server was very friendly and quick , she did a great job and didnt miss a beat ! The prices themselves are reasonable ,especially that the portions are pretty big and the ingredients tasted fresh. The menu being extensive is both good and bad , in the sense that while there are lots of options to choose from , none of the dishes we tried were bad but none were exceptional either, it was very mediocre, a sort of jack of all trades and master of none situation. We had a few appetisers , the avocado rolls were good but the sauce they came with tasted like a regular salad dressing and didn't really pair well. The coconut shrimp were nice and big and crispy without being oily but were a little on the sweet side. The fried mac and cheese balls with marinara and parm were the best of the three , nice and crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside , the sauce that came with it was also flavourful and paired well with it. A few people ordered the specialty shephard's pie , they said overall it was good and came with some nice fresh veggies but a touch on the salty side. The four cheese bow tie pasta was not bad , it did the trick and wasnt particulary bad but there was really nothing special about it. The Grilled Chicken BLT was pretty good , the chicken breast was well cooked and still juicy and the sauce inside was a nice pairing with the chicken and bacon, the side of mashed potatoes were nice and creamy with good seasoning without being too buttery. The best part of the meal had to be the dessert, their cheesecake and carrot cake were both fresh and delicious without being overkill on the sweetness. Their cappuccino was also well prepared. So while this wouldnt be my first choice of restaurant in the area , it was not a bad experience and I wouldnt be opposed to going back at some point either. read more

I was in town for the week on a business trip to Montreal and I ventured out to find something for dinner and stumbled upon this place. On first appearance I'd say this is a carbon copy of The Cheesecake Factory restaurant you would find in the USA. In fact, maybe it's owned by the same company. In any case, no surprises here on the menu. There are tons of choices of food to choose from. And they come from many different locations. It you want options I highly recommend this place.(Asian,American, Italian etc you name it). With that being said I do think it's a bit overwhelming at times. There are so many options that I don't think this place has one particular option that amazing..However ,the food isn't bad...it's good. It just isn't fantastic to me..I ordered a Cesar salad and stir fry veggies with shrimp for a main course. It was a good amount of food and for the cost I'd say it was well worth it. I think the best thing about this place and The Cheesecake Factory (drumroll ...is the dessert) if you are in a rush or just want something sweet grab it here. I will say that the service was very good though. read more

Just had lunch here with an old friend, I had not been here in several years. I was extremely disappointed with the quality and the value. I ordered a lunch special, the toasted pasta came with half a bowl of soup and a coffee. The tomato soup was ok although it was not hot, the portion was very small. The pasta was below average, the potion was ok but it was in a bath of sauce and 1 hour later my stomach is still complaining. It did not have a specific taste. It was just very plain with a lot of sauce. My friend ordered the tuna, which was not properly cooked, the inside was not cooked at all and he hardly ate any of it. We also ordered 2 draught beers which we had to return because they were flat, the waiter was very pleasant and polite and replaced them for us but the next two beers were just as bad. Not impressed, i wish the owners good luck, but they need a major change in the kitchen and they need to step up their game, all this cost approx $70 tax and tip included, a very expensive lunch for a very mediocre experience, read more

Normally Elixor is great but both my mother in law and girlfriend got horrible food poisoning from the Cobb salad on Wednesday and were sick beyond belief for like 8+ hours. We almost had to take my 73 year old mother in law to the hospital. Wicked bad experience. read more

I came here with my entire family to celebrate the birthday of an out-of-towner cousin. Boy did I feel embarrassed that this was the choice of restaurant for the special occasion. First of all, since the menu is so large, it is really hard to choose what to eat. They don't really have any specialties and everyone's food seemed to be overwhelmingly mediocre. I ordered the shrimp spaghetti with scampi sauce. My food arrived about 10 minutes later than everyone else's and was barely luke warm. While the sauce wasn't terrible, the shrimp was so over cooked it was inedible. While I would normally complain, I didn't want to wait for another meal. I ended up spending 32$ on plain own spaghetti which was truly disappointing. I don't blame the waiter for disliking having to take care of a table of 15 people but he could have been more pleasant. He never came around to ask how our food was and my water was empty for a majority of the meal. Overall, there are much much better restaurants to go to in Montreal as well as the West Island. read more

This is a nice looking restaurant with an upscale-casual vibe. I really like it as a place to go. Unfortunately the food is really mediocre. My sister lives fairly close and when I'm in town she always suggests this place. My 70 year old dad really likes it too. I was born and raised in Montreal but live in the USA now & I just think there are so many great restaurants in the area that it's a shame to waste a meal here. I admit, I'm a bit of a food snob. I don't mean fancy, but I do mean good and high quality. This place is really average. But again the ambience is nice. read more

Place was huge and I like the interiors, very modern but still classy. Food comes in big servings. Best steak I tried so far in Montreal. I recommend the New York-style steak and Cajun Burger. Their mashed potato is also fantastic. On top of this, Manager was super friendly. read more

horrible management. Woman fell due to the fact that there was a puddle of water on the floor. they were asked to call 911. non of the staff called. when the man that was in the party asked them if they called, they said no and gave him a card with the address... the management never came by to find out what happened. when the ambulance technician finalized his report the manager wanted a copy to cover himself. i would never go there again read more

Over rated. Basic food with average prices. Typical service nothing special. Not a place I would recommend but not the worst either.

Great food. Love the Pad Thai! only thing I recommend not getting is their margaritas. Other than that everything else I have had there is awesome. including amazing cheesecake! read more

While this D.D.O. location seems to be freezing cold every time I pay a visit, I cannot complain about the food! I find the menu to have a decent variety (dessert and drinks included)! There are so many great tasting restaurants where the dessert menu is lacking, this is not the case at Elixor (their "Reese's Pieces Cheesecake" is a MUST). The food is fresh and burgers not lacking. Any plate is filling. On a small negative note, their Appetizers are WAY too expensive, The price is almost equivalent to a full meal when it is not so portion-wise. Stick to the delicious main meals! read more

You really get a good bang for your dollar here. I was very surpised that I was there on valentine's night and it was mostly empty. I didn't get what I ordered because they ran out, but the manager discounted my check for the trouble. I highly recommend the creme brulee and the salmon. I'm a big fan of sangiovese and they had it for 8 dollars a glass. I'm not suggesting its a good place to take the kiddos because the portions are gigantic. And, like most other places I ate while in CA, we waited a very long time for our food. read more

Good Restaurant especially since the menu is so diverse. The burrito is great and their lunch specials are a great value.
