Reviews describe Fleurs & Cadeaux as a standout for inventive Japanese influenced cuisine, with ultra-fresh sashimi, duck, and other delicate dishes presented with care, and a warm, cozy yet chic ambience. The dining format often centers on sharing plates and tasting menus, with guests praising the variety, thoughtful pairings with a well curated sake list, and the opportunity to watch the kitchen from the bar. Service is frequently lauded as attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, though a few visits note pacing issues, occasional delays, and that portions can feel small relative to the price. Some reviewers mention a lively bar vibe and a downstairs atmosphere that adds to the experience, while others point to temperature or noise as minor drawbacks. Overall, Fleurs & Cadeaux comes across as a must-try in Montreal where reservations are recommended and the quality tends to justify the cost for a special night out.
J'adore ce restaurant. J'y suis allée à 4 reprises & c'est un 5 étoiles à tous les niveaux à chaque fois. Tous les plats sont succulents, le service est attentionné & décontracté, ce contribue à la super expérience. Je recommande sans hésiter & j'y retournerai c'est certain.
Une très belle première expérience chez Fleurs & cadeaux! C'est une grande table de Montréal où je retournerai avec plaisir. L'ambiance est très sympa, & c'était super de manger au bar avec vue sur la préparation des plats. Merci pour l'agréable soirée!

Super ambiance & nourriture délicieuse. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & avons apprécié chaque plats. Coup de coeur pour les nouilles udon, le canard & le plat de sashimi!
Tous étaient délicieux. Nous étions 5 & nous avons demandé à notre serveur Louis de nous proposer des plats. Les commentaires de notre groupe ont été unanime. Meilleur resto à découvrir & à revenir.
Disclaimer: This review is more of a 3.5/5 star than a 4, but I'm giving it a 4 because I would actually still come back just for the sushi.
Pros:
1. Sushi was terrific. Some of the best in the city. & that includes the rice as well, which was phenomenal.
2. The meats were also A1. Though, I hope they weren't cooked sous-vide (that method is being phased out because of microplastic contamination) but I have a suspicion they were. Owner, feel free to confirm. Either way, excellent.
Cons:
1. Seating at the bar (if you're lucky not be facing a literal wall) is uncomfortable for longer than an hour.
2. Plates came out at random. Meat, then sushi, then noodles, then meat, etc. Insulting to the sushi in my opinion.
3. This is one of those devious sharing-plate restaurants that lets you easily rack up a big bill with only a couple of drinks & a few sharing plates without really noticing the total until you get the bill. Caveat emptor. But either way this style of restaurant is fading away, people are tired of sharing & overpaying for small portions.
4. The steak, for example, is far too good to be served on its own without any accompaniment. It's seems really silly. It's a sneaky way to rack up another $30 charge just to get to taste a few slices of beef. But it was good.
5. Some dishes were not well balanced, like the paprika noodles. Extremely cloy in the mouth. The ice cream suffers the same problem: overpowered. It's as if whoever is tasting the food in the kitchen is a heavy smoker or drinker because those dishes were not balanced whatsoever.
6. Last but not least, Fleurs & Cadeaux is peak'Montreal service'. Cold & ironically unfriendly, as if they're doing you a grand favour by letting you in. Fake smiles that disappear the moment they turn away, & they won't bother asking if you liked your food or how the evening is going. Also, a restaurant of this caliber shouldn't let staff dress in tattered Value Village. Again, that classic'ironic' Montreal service that just makes me cringe. This isn't unique to Fleurs & Cadeaux, it's just endemic to this city.
In short, despite the lack of good service & comfort & some issues with some of the dishes, this place cares about quality especially when it comes to the sushi.
This place was perfect in every aspect except for the host, who didnt really make us feel welcome. I normally dont care about this stuff, but this is a MUST for me in the service industry, ESPECIALLY if the food is michelin Bib Gourmand quality, which in my opinion it is!
Très bon & prix raisonnable! Souper convivial au bar pour 2. Malheureusement, le service était impersonnel & mécanique (plus précisément le maître d'hotel & la serveuse; la suiteuse était sympa, la seule qui souriait en fait!) avec cette impression d'être de trop comme client. C'est dommage, car le service chaleureux est une expérience que les clients aiment vivre d'habitude.
The best way to describe this place is'pretentious', from the staff to the cocktails & down to the meals. Menu is confusing at first sight but you get barely any help from the waitress - almost looking down on me for not being familiar with the meals. Cocktail was rancid. The'vegetable of the moment' was just a blanched piece of broccoli in cold water. Is that a joke? Having sesame sauce right next to it doesnt'elevate' the dish. Pretentious. 45$ for, more or less, a pokebowl wasnt worth it either. Udon spicy pork basically tasted like some sort of pistachio italian ragu - not japanese at all. But what do you expect from a japanese restaurant that doesnt employ any japanese cooks in the kitchen? The only thing this place is good for is an instagram picture. Super overrated.
Great service with next level attention to detail. Food was out of this world, with thought that went into the last little detail. Fun atmosphere & av great crowd.
Waitress talks too fast, stressed us out!!! reminded us that we had two hours & when we didnt order the 5 plates she recommended & could order later, out came a pushy sentence that we can do with our 2 hours what we want. Sounds like she was upset with us?
Utterly sublime! The service was perfect, the atmosphere terrific, & every dish superb. The tantan udon is among the tastiest bites I've enjoyed in a very long time. Please open an Edmonton location ...
Non mais… comment je suis pas venue avant ??? AMAZING.
My friend & I came for the first time last Saturday night & everything was perfect. Service attentionné & impeccable. The presentation was as gorgeous as the taste. The udon noodles were cooked to perfection.
We got so caught up talking that we didn't even realize how late it was. Even after the restaurant had closed for the night, they never rushed us to leave. We really appreciated that.
I'll definitely be back to try everything on the menu!

Toujours aussi merveilleux de pouvoir vivre cette expérience culinaire dans cet endroit parfait !
Le seule petit bémol est le suivant :
Je trouve ça un peu vite 2 heure pour souper, nous étions 4 à vouloir goûter les différents plats & merveilleux Saké quand ont cest fait donner la facture en ramassant vite la table.
Facture de plus de 600.00$.
Ont aurait apprécié une petite demi-heure de plus...
Mais ceci dis, nous y retournerons très bientôt !!
Longue vie à Fleurs & cadeaux !
