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.
Nous avons commandé 2 cocktails très bon ! & 4-5 plats délicieux sauf le canard , malheureusement, qui je crois avait été oublié & est donc arrivé froid & sec, mais le serveur s'est excusé & a trouvé un moyen de nous faire oublié ce petit incident ! Je recommande fortement ce restaurant, la nourriture est bonne, l'ambiance aussi & surtout le service qui pour ma part a été impeccable !

Wonderful weeknight experience!! Great service, music & atmosphere. We came as two for a weeknight dinner & we loved it. We were recommended the duck, the chirashi sushi, the albacore tuna tataki & the grilled vegetable root salad & they were all absolutely fantastic. Our standout goes out to the duck which was really incredible. Big thank you to all the team & definitely coming back!!
Nous y sommes allés pour ma fête. Ce fut excellent !! Le service a été parfait & que dire de la nourriture ... un vrai délice ! Ce matin je l'ai déjà recommandé à deux amies ! Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir !
Great meal & great service. Server was very nice & helped with some suggested choices. Original decor which is very retro & a cool vibe. Definitely recommend.

Love this place. The cocktails are always very delicious (inspired Japanese flavors). & there aged duck is the number one on my list... I will always come back for this plate. Very nice place to date. I highly recommended to sit in front the grill. You could see how they cook all the kushiyaki.
Not impressed with the food at all! Portions are quite small & the flavours do not make up for it. The venue is a cool & unique one. The service was the bare minimum with poor recommendations. For this high price point, I would not recommend.
My friends & I managed to reserve a table for five people to celebrate one of their birthday! Very accessible from the metro, short walk which was perfect because it was windy that day! The staff were helpful & polite, not always easy to flag down but very helpful. The food was for the most part incredible! I only ordered the vegetarian dishes, a can of hibiscus juice made in Montreal, & a slice of Yuzu lemon pie:) It was about 54$ total which is pricey considering the portions. I was however very full (i dont eat much anyway). My other four friends all ordered several dishes & shared them, overall about 45-65$ ranging as some did get desserts & drinks. It is recommended to buy several plates & to share & they did like it! Though the portions are very small to share. The food is however amazing, the vegetarian foods i ordered were perfect (soup is a little salty). The tofu dish with rice was truly splendid & very filling, i would recommend that. My friends liked the duck & overall liked the dishes & did not have much else to add! Nice atmosphere & decor, welcoming & you can take some nice pictures!
Very unique japanese reataurant. There were some sushi & sashimis on the menu, but I opted to go with items I didn't usually see on typical Japanese menus. First off, I went through the wrong door, the side door instead of the front door. Not sure how I missed it. I saw the chinese words over the main door & didn't think that it was the right restaurant. The waitstaff was nice enough not to make me go through the front door again. My waitress was so warm & friendly. Went through some recommendations. I ended up getting the recommended grilled miso aged duck. I got the marinated veggies, & chicken karage. I topped it all of with creme caramel au matcha. The duck was so well executed. Perfectly charred with a thin black layer on the fat side of the duck. You can taste the smokiness from the char. The chef timestakingly grilling each duck in front of the bar crowd. The chicken karage was delicious. Juicy & full of flavor. The white dipping sauce was a good compliment. The highlight of the night had to be the dessert. I was very full after my 3 small plates & a drink, but was able to finish this pudding like dessert with ease. It was light & not too sweet. The match flavor did come through but did not overpower. The sweetened strawberries complemented the dessert well. Service was great my water was never empty for more than 10 seconds. I'd like to try their sashimi next time. Or tuna tataki. The chefs really take their time dressing each dish. Really enjoyed the experience & the food.
Fantastic restaurant. Ambiance, food, & service were all stellar. Would highly recommend the sashimi, braised daikon, donburi, shrimp chips, & udon noodles. I will be back!
my second time here, & the food & the ambiance are great!! You can't go wrong with this place. The fried chicken, albacore tataki, & miso duck were great! We were not very happy with the service due to our waiter's attitude but overall, I'd recommend this place!

L'ambiance est vraiment bonne. Mais la nourriture n'est vraiment pas exceptionnelle, les portions sont ridiculement petites pour le prix (surtout les sashimis, 70$ pour 15 petits morceaux), & le service était vraiment plus bas que tout. Certains plats commandés n'étaient plus disponibles après la commande, on en a recommandés d'autres, le serveur ne les a jamais rentrés dans le système & nous blâme pour l'oubli alors qu'il était revenu prendre la commande de remplacement. Pas un sourire ou aucune excuse. Passez votre chemin :)
Super restaurant asiatique situé dans chinatown. Nous avons pris le menu du chef pour environ 70$ & n'avons pas été déçus. Nous avons pu donner nos préférences au chef & c'était juste délicieux. Les sashimis sont excellents, tout comme le canard & le porc grillé au gingembre. Je recommande a toutes les personnes qui cherchent un bon restaurant dans chinatown. Ambiance très sympa avec le bar sans soleil au sous sol. Même si passé une certaine heure il faudra s'armer de patience pour rentrer au bar. Le restaurant fleurs & cadeaux vaut vraiment le coup.
Enjoyed the tasting menu (9 dishes) with 3 friends & we could not have been more satisfied! Exquisite Japanese inspired dishes, sufficient portion sizes & great pacing. Great cocktails & fun Sake list to discover. Food aside our service was also excellent 5 stars. Undoubtedly highly recommended!
