One of my favorite restaurant in Montreal & beyond. The food is just so good, the presentation & the service too.
The price are so affordable for this quality that I am scared it will raise in the future.
Sûrement le meilleur rapport qualité prix de Montréal

A cozy quaint neighborhood restaurant!
Jill, the owner, is a wonderful person & hostess! This is my favorite spot in Cote des Neiges by far!!! I invite all my friends to come here. It is a beautiful spot to have a nice lunch or dinner, very nicely decorated, so many things to look at all over the walls. The bubble gum machines, little tiny hand made items for sale. Lots of pictures & notes from happy customers. Just so cute!!! Also great to order out or to pick up. We enjoyed the cucumber miso, gyozo dumplings, Tom Yum soup, menchikatsu, (my favorite dish), with Brown Sugar Ginger Tea With Osmanthus(also my favorite tea), Tonkatsu & a chicken with basil dish on rice with cabbage, carrots & corn. Our server, Ryan, on Sunday March 1st for lunch deserves 5 stars!✨✨✨✨✨ He was kind, attentive & efficient even though he was alone & it was quite busy!!! The kitchen crew are awesome, the food is always hot, fresh & beautifully arranged! I recommend customers ask questions if they're not sure what to order, ask for sauce on the side etc... instead of giving a bad review! The staff will do their best to answer all questions & accommodate you. This is a neighborhood gem & we are lucky to have Don Don ya in Cote des Neiges!!!
