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.

Place agréable, mais 16 $ pour une tisane & 10 $ pour un mini matcha cake... 33 $ à l'heure de payer... un peu too much.

L'espace est intimiste & restreint. Toute réservation est recommandée si vous souhaitez avoir de la chance de vous y asseoir en fin de semaine. La nourriture est délicieuse & délicate. & que dire des choix de thés offerts. Je m'attendais à ce que le ochazuke (risotto japonais) soit fade, mais c'était tout le contraire. C'est super de trouver des places avec des plats & desserts japonais, sans que ce soit limité aux éternels sushis. Note: ils offrent des options sans gluten. Pour une première expérience, c'était fantastique. J'ai hâte d'y retourner essayer les autres items de leur carte.

This adorable hole in the wall will redefine Japanese cuisine to the non-initiated, & will enchant those accustomed to real Japanese cuisine. The cook is an adorable 1st-generation immigrant who will prepare the tea right next to you. The food is incredible, too: in 10 years living in Montreal, it's one of the 2 best instances of fish I've ever had. Cannot recommend enough !
