Overall, reviewers describe Fleurs & Cadeaux as a high quality, creative Japanese dining spot where sashimi, duck and ramen stand out, and the bar counter offers a front row view of the kitchen while the tasting menu shows thoughtful execution. The ambiance and service are frequently praised, with many noting impeccable wine and sake pairings and a warm, refined atmosphere suited to dates or small groups. However, some guests mention small portions for the price and occasional slow or rushed service, as well as moments of busy or loud dining. Reservations are recommended, seating at the bar can be tight, and the place tends to fill up, but the overall impression is that Fleurs & Cadeaux is a top Montreal pick for a creative, high quality dining experience with a lively yet intimate vibe.
I had been meaning to try this restaurant for about a year.. Finally went there with two friends tonight.
It was excellent! Not to brag, but I know Japanese food. I Lived in Japan for three years a long time ago, & I have been returning their several times a year on business For close to 30 years.
The food, the service & the atmosphere were all great!
I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant!!
Please note that I very rarely write reviews for restaurants… I felt compelled write this one!
Delicious food. Bread with mushroom parfait is such unique flavor that works surprisingly well. & comes with bread refill! Some type of seafood bowl is must get, super fresh & you see chef making it in middle of room.

Expérience fantastique : excellente cuisine, serveur très aimable & de service, musique qui complète l'expérience agréablement! Fleurs & Cadeaux est à découvrir en 2026! Merci à l'équipe!
I loved this place. Very cool vibe & delicious food. Cocktails were excellent. The wait staff were very helpful & all of their recs were great. Will return on my next trip to MTL.
Beaucoup trop cher pour les quantités servies. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation à 75$ par personne(dessert, taxes & pourboire en sus). Avec le vin & dessert nous en avons eu pour 150$ par personne. & nous avions encore faim. Ceci étant le reste est parfait!
I have been several times & this was the first time that I did not have a good experience. Our server was rushing us even though we had over an hour left of our 2-hour reservation window. She was rude. Several times. I don't know if I will go back. I will stick to Sans Soleil, downstairs, where Stéphanie & others on the team are always very welcoming.
Despite being busy, took time to see if they could accommodate us & found room for a party of 3. Fantastic food & service. Little pricey but well worth it for the quality. Great atmosphere & staff.
The food was delicious, we ordered a bunch of plates & I enjoyed them all. However the service was not great. Our waitress seemed annoyed & kept making passive aggressive comments the whole night. At the end of the night, the person who was in charge of closing up that night was also extremely rude to us.
I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a really long time & I was just so disappointed on how unwelcoming the staff was. It's a shame.

My wife & I shared the following dishes:
Tsukemono (various pickled veggies) 8/10
Chirashi Sushi (assorted sashimi) 8/10
Miso Duck 9/10
Nanban (fried chicken) 9/10
The place & ambiance are nice, & service was good & efficient, but it simply takes too long between dishes, so you just kind of end up waiting for what's next. Tasty food but too much $ & time spent for what you get.
Le restaurant possède une très belle ambiance, bien décoré & chaleureux malgré l'espace restreint.
Cependant, j'ai trouvé que certains plats manquaient de finesse. L'entrée d'oeuf goûtait l'eau & le canard très gras & goûtait le brûlé. Le poulet servi froid. Peu de choix de mocktails, seulement des canettes.
Je pense que l'expérience aurait été meilleure si le service était approprié. La serveuse qui servait manquait de professionnalisme, ne semblait pas vouloir nous détailler les détails du menu & venait prendre nos assiettes très rapidement. Elle avait une attitude condescendante.
Tucked in an intimate space in Chinatown with a Speakeasy sensibility, Fleurs & Cadeaux was delicious from start to finish. The server curated a perfect tasting menu, along with some very good sakis. Among the highlights: artfully presented sashimi, agadashu tofu, well-cooked meat & a pork noodle dish that bordered on ecstatic. I reserved a week in advance & would've preferred a table rather than a somewhat uncomfortable backless bar seat, but the bar does offer a cinematic view of the chefs in action. I will definitely be back!
