I've been here three times now & every visit has been amazing. The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Everything tastes vibrant & well prepared. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the staff are friendly, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. It's always a great experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be back & highly recommend it.
Great Japanese restaurant with amazingly fresh fish. Strangely they don't anything with rice, so no sushi!!! We wanted starch so we had udon. Ramen is also on the menu but we didn't order that.
The plateau of fish for 5 is super!!!
Seating may be a bit cramped but it wasn't bad.
Apparently booking is incredibly hard to get.
Parking in the area also an issue.
Cozy place, insanely fresh fish, the duck is to die for. The service is also impeccable, Louis set us up with a wonderful tasting menu & although i just met him, i have to say, i would trust this guy with my life. We really enjoyed sans soleil as well, such an awesome experience! Fleurs & cadeaux, you have my heart!
Food was overall excellent, we ordered the albacore tataki, the duck, the agedashi tofu & the lamb ramen. The tataki was very well done, fish was very fresh & the outsides were very nicely charred. The wasabi chimichurri was a perfect accompaniment. The duck was flavourful, moist & also charred very well on the outside, but we personally found the mushroom & accompanying veg to clash with the flavour slightly. The lamb ramen was the highlight of the dinner, the lamb chashu was generous, tasty & the texture was wonderful whilst the lamb broth itself felt like a hug. The noodles were also very well done, & still had a bite to them.
Service was also friendly & accommodating. Hope to be back soon!
The sashimi was a mix of hits & misses,the scallops were especially fresh & delicious, but the salmon was not fresh at all. The Agedashi Tofu was excellent, & the duck dish was also quite good. The environment is fair; a bit old & not particularly Japanese in style, but still acceptable. However, the biggest downside was the price,portions were quite small, making it feel overpriced for what we received.
The food at Fleurs & Cadeaux was awesome :) Would definitely recommend if you are craving some good food in the Montreal, QC area.
The Magret de Carnard Au Miso Blanc (Duck Breast) was awesome. The duck was tender, savoury & delicious. Would definitely recommend if you are craving some good duck.
The F&C Chirashi Sushi was awesome. The variety of sashimi was fresh & delicious. The rice was perfectly cooked & seasoned. Would definitely recommend if are you craving a good variety of sashimi & rice.
The Takaki D'Albacore (Tuna Sashimi) was fresh & delicious.
The Poulet Nanban (Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken) was good. The fried chicken was tender, crispy & flavourful. Would definitely recommend if you are craving some good sweet & sour fried chicken.
The Tantan Udon was okay. The udon was perfectly cooked with great texture. The spicy ground pork was delicious. The sesame based sauce was okay.
The Brownie, Caramel Sale Au Miso Rouge (Brownie with Miso Salted Caramel) was good. The brownie was delicious with chocolatey goodness. The miso salted caramel was an interesting flavour that somehow worked with the brownie.
The Annin Dofu was awesome. This cream based dessert with caramelized apples (or was it pear?) & shikwasa ice cream was light, not too sweet, citrusy, & heavenly. Wish there was more of the shikwasa ice cream which provided that really good citrus flavour. Would definitely recommend the Annin Dofu dessert to wrap up the dinner :)

I would go back for the sashimi, extremely fresh & carefully cut. I found the fried chicken too salty. I would recommend to sit in front of the chef, it was captivating work.
This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is so cozy & what can i say about the food!! My cousins & i had a full platter of sashimis & the fish was super fresh & the perfect cut. We had Albacore tataki, korean fried chicken, Pork Udon, Carrot salad, breaded Tofu in miso broth, Panacotta & a Brownie. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. Everything is fresh & the sauces that accompany the fish/ tataki/ chicken are so tasty!
Great spot with cool, chill vibes & excellent service. The food is pricey but top quality-portions aren't huge, so maybe eat beforehand. Great wine selection & options for non alcoholic drinks as well. I highly recommend the duck. It was probably the best I've ever eaten in Montreal to be honest. All the sushi was extremely fresh. Overall, a fantastic experience for date night! The Ramen looked delicious & I will definitely be going back to try it!! 4 stars only because after $175 we were still hungry …!!!
Amazing food, sake & vibes - sat at bar counter as party of 2 & thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Fresh sashimi, great spicy tan tan noodles, & the fried chicken nanban was spectacular would absolutely come back!
Unique dining experience with delicious food & kind employees. Don't miss the onsen tamago & légume ohitashi. Update: also, don't miss the duck & sashimi. It's all so good. Fresh fish, amazing flavors.
Fleurs & Cadeaux came highly recommended, & it easily lived up to my expectations! My wife & I arrived 40 minutes before our reservation time, nevertheless they were very gracious & found us a place to sit. It's good fun to be at the bar & watch as the chefs skilfully put your meal together. The fish was amazingly fresh & beautifully arranged. The highpoint of the meal was the delicious Tataki D'Albacore & the Canard Vieilli Au Miso Blanc. Fleurs & Cadeaux has a cool laid-back atmosphere, the service is amazing & the food is great. My only complaint is that some of the dishes had small chips on them, (see photos), which is a bit of a downer. Nevertheless, we had an amazing time & an excellent meal. Check out the hidden bar in the basement!
Excellent service, my friend & I were in there for a quick bite. Fast/efficient food was fresh, & the chef was on point. Great selection of sake 👌 I was shocked to see Kuheiji for the first time in Montreal. My friend actually worked at this brewery in Nagoya, Japan. We also had a chance to taste some Shochu incredible felt like in Japan
