Reviews of Avocado Sushi du Village paint a picture of a cozy, welcoming spot with a focus on fresh, well presented sushi and inventive flavors, with highlights like avocado tartare, salmon sashimi, and dishes such as Nantucket, Lisabel, and Asian Twist; the atmosphere and friendly service are repeatedly praised, and some diners rank it among the best sushi in Montreal. At the same time, experiences vary: several mentions of high prices for what is offered, inconsistent quality, and meals that feel underwhelming or not worth the cost, especially on special occasions; some nights are described as hot or humid with a sticky table and limited kitchen communication. Reservations are often advised due to the busy pace, and while many leave impressed by freshness and presentation or a chocolate cake in a jar, others feel the value and consistency have declined and indicate they might not return.
This restaurant is really intimate & cosy inside with a great date vibe. Because it is smaller, the noise level is not bad. You can easily have a conversation, but not so quiet where you feel everyone can hear your conversation. The service is friendly & personal & the food presentation is really pretty & elegant. The food offerings are a little different than a lot of sushi restaurants. They incorporate fresh fruit like pear slices, kiwi slices & blueberry in some of the rolls. Many of the rolls are not wrapped in nori, but in soy or rice paper. If you like sushi with lots of caviar, tempura flakes & mayonnaise, this is not for you. I found all the fish very fresh & mild. The sashimi is excellent & almost melts in your mouth. The more traditional rolls like dynamite are served with wasabi & ginger, but their more unique ones are not, but will be provided if you request it. The seafood in the rolls is generous & I had a hard time choosing a favourite. Barenaked was our table's least favourite. It did not contain any sushi rice & so for us, the texture wasn't our favourite, although the flavours were nice. I also don't love raw scallops, so for me that loses some points. The New Zealand was delicious with a slice of kiwi that made it feel so refreshing. I've heard their sushi bowls are excellent as well. Maybe next time. Finally, they have a decent dessert menu, which you don't always find in sushi restaurants. They have a matcha ice cream which is served in steel martini glass & 2 chocolate dipped pretzel type sticks. We had the chocolate mousse (delicious), pecan brownie served warm with ice cream (vanilla or coconut- we had coconut) & the matcha with a poor of green tea to finish the meal. All the desserts were fantastc & really pretty in their presentation.
I would definitely go back. Reservations are a must due to the limited seating. It's not inexpensive, but the freshness, quality & unusual, imaginative selection of rolls justified it IMO.
I had high hopes after hearing such great things about this place. It was my partner & I's first time eating here. We came to celebrate his birthday, & were quite disappointed.
Our first impression was that it was very hot/humid inside, the air was very heavy, & there was an odd scent. When we were seated, our table was sticky. Service was okay at best, but nothing outstanding.
The drinks were good, but the quality of the food was lacking, especially considering the high reviews. We got the chefs choice duo & it was nothing special.
Lastly, I had mentioned when making the reservation that it was for a special occasion (birthday), & there was nothing done about it. I know it's not mandatory, but a small gesture/offering would've been appreciated.
Overall, quite an underwhelming experience.

If you're a sushi lover looking for fresh, high-quality ingredients, Avocado Sushi. This cozy local spot delivers an unforgettable sushi experience, particularly due to its dedication to freshness & premium ingredients.
The highlight of my visit was the avocado tartare. Creamy, smooth & paired with perfectly seasoned fish creates a delightful balance of flavours & textures. It's served with a delicate touch, blending rich & fresh flavours that are hard to beat.
The restaurant's atmosphere is welcoming, with a friendly staff that makes the experience feel even more personal. Supporting local is the way to go, our neighbourhood favourite.
Wow! Never had sushi this tasty! The house specials are excellent & worth a try! The one with raspberry was my favorite 🤌🏻 The cocktails were also really good! The atmosphere was warm & cozy, & the service was great. Will definitely return 👌🏼 P.S. My apologies for the poor photo quality 😆
Avocado Sushi is our absolute favorite sushi spot! The cozy atmosphere creates the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience.
