About

Cha Do Raku serves as a sanctuary for those interested in the nuances of traditional Japanese tea preparation. The menu centers on a vast selection of high-quality imported leaves, where precise brewing draws out deep, subtle aromatics in every cup. Alongside these tea offerings, the kitchen prepares homemade comfort food rooted in seasonal sensibilities. Savory dishes such as ochazuke anchor the selection, presenting a bowl of rice submerged in fragrant broth that provides a gentle, warming flavor profile. The space maintains an intimate character, keeping the focus entirely on the sensory experience of the tea and food. Every item reflects a steady dedication to authentic flavor balance and traditional presentation, resulting in a distinct environment where the quiet complexity of Japanese ingredients takes precedence.

Les portions sont petites, & en plus, c'est cher pour un salon de thé.

Une petite perle bien cachée. Cha Do Raku, c'est pas juste un salon de thé, c'est une vibe. À peine passé la porte, tu te déchausses, tu mets des chaussons, & t'oublies le reste. Seulement 8 places, donc ultra intime.

Le choix de thés est fou : noir, vert, orange, rouge… avec des profils umami, terreux, astringents, matcha - chacun avec sa petite personnalité. Tout est pensé : la vaisselle, la musique, le décor. Tu bois un thé, mais t'as l'impression de vivre une formule complète.

Thé(7?) + 2?rh + ? + ?r²h = Cha Do Raku.
À tester au moins une fois si t'aimes le thé (ou juste chiller dans un spot qui a de l'âme).

This tea salon is truly one of Montreal's hidden gems. The moment you step in, you are welcomed with warmth & a sense of calm. The food is delicious & the service is truly one of a kind. The tea options are numerous & well elaborated. I definitely recommend this place to everyone looking for a personal experience to slow down from the everyday rush of life. Shiho is an amazing host & cook. Thank you so much for the amazing experience 💗

Super petit salon de thé où l'on se sent transporter dans un petit coin du Japon. Ambiance très détendue mais l'endroit devient très rapidement rempli. Les propriétaires sont super gentils & la sélection de thé est très satisfaisante.
