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 praised as an intimate and authentic tea destination that offers a calming, Kyoto-like atmosphere in Montreal. Visitors frequently highlight the extensive, high-quality selection of Japanese and Taiwanese teas, noting the precise brewing techniques that produce exceptional flavor profiles. The homemade Japanese comfort foods, including ochazuke and various desserts, receive consistent acclaim for their traditional taste and quality. While most guests find the service welcoming, knowledgeable, and accommodating, some feedback notes that the seating can be limited or uncomfortable and that prices may be high for the portion sizes provided.

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 !

+++ Wide, well-curated, well-described selection of specialty teas. +++ Kind & attentive service. +++ Beautifully & tastefully decorated. --- Get ready to pay the price. This is an absolute gem. A small & lovely teahouse coupled with a cozy teashop, it makes for an easy win in the gourmet category. A selection of music plays all throughout, at times calming, at times cheery, but always interesting to hear. While the price tags tend to be on the higher end, with them come selected teas in a quality-over-quantity philosophy, along with artisanal teaware in a myriad of lovely shapes & colors.

The place is cute & aesthetic with a variety of teas. The owner is nice as well, but matcha for 8 dollars+ tax for only a couple of sips is not worth it. Also, it wasn't that good. I will not be coming back.

Outstanding little tea shop, a ton of purchasable cups, pots, teas & other things. The tea shop is very small but super cool, it was great to get out of the cold, relax & try a few different teas & snacks. I'd definitely recommend trying a few teas & snacks.
