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.

Review Summary

Cha Do Raku is widely celebrated for offering an authentic, intimate, and relaxing Japanese tea experience that feels like a hidden gem. Guests frequently praise the extensive selection of premium teas, the fascinating brewing techniques, and the high-quality, homemade Japanese comfort food such as ochazuke and seasonal desserts. Many visitors appreciate the knowledgeable service, the clear explanations provided during tea ceremonies, and the welcoming atmosphere, noting that it serves as a tranquil escape.

Their tea selection is huge & we ended up choosing what the owner recommended. The green tea was mind blowing. The tea is exceptional quality.

We also got 2 desserts & the complement the tea so well. One of them is rice mochi & the other is a creamy mousse cup. It feels like a little piece of Japan in Montreal. A truly amazing experience. However, seats are limited so you might have to squeeze in a little bit. Love the atmosphere, hospitality & tea!

This is really tiny place, so if want to have a tea inside - better to have a reservation.

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).

A great & unique tea-based experience. You get to learn how to make special teas & eat delicious food originally from the south side of Japan.

Fantastique endroit! Vous ne regretterez pas, la qualité du thé est exceptionnelle, le service est tout aussi excellent. C'est intime, propre & a du charme. Je ne comprends pas les reviews qui se plaignent du coût: du bon thé c'est coûteux & en plus les prix sont raisonnables (de plus, vous pouvez infuser vos thés plusieurs fois). La seule chose que j'aurai à dire c'est que les chaises sont petites & inconfortables, mais c'est tellement un superbe endroit que ce n'est pas un soucis. Mon copain & moi y sommes allés plusieurs fois & la qualité reste consistante! :)
