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.
C'était délicieux! Nous étions 2 personnes, en congé d'enfants, & nous avons goûté à 5 plats. Le poulet Nanban & le canard vieilli au miso blanc est un must. Le chirashi sushi est aussi un incontournable (c'est un plat à partager, pour 2 personnes, de différents sashimis). Nous avons pris chacun un drink & une bière. Avec le tip, c'est revenu à 210$
Nous y retourneront assurément.

Ooh la la, best food ever! Fleurs & Cadeaux was recommended by a friend as his favorite restaurant in Montreal; & now it is our favorite as well. Service was wonderful from the minute we walked in to the minute we left. Had duck, tuna & sashimi-all top of the line in flavor & presentation. Great selection of drinks; we had a non alcoholic passion fruit soda that I now want to import to my home in Massachusetts! Highly recommend; make a reservation & go asap, then go again!
Speak-easy vibes with truly amazing dishes & great drinks. We had amazing service & tried all the recommendations. My favourite dishes were far & away the duck & the sashimi. The fried chicken was also a must-order. Highly recommend checking them out.
Had been wanting to come here for a while after hearing amazing reviews & decided to take visitors from out of town to try it. I read reviews online that a tasting menu was available but our server did not inform us of such thing.
I was surprised at how underwhelming the food was, especially for the price. The sashimi platter should have been the highlight, but was not. It was mediocore & there was barely any wasabi provided, given that sashimi is traditionally eaten with wasabi. The udon noodles were also just noodles that tasted like they were covered in tahini. The best part was the duck, which even then, was super chewy despite being thinly cut.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'd return but the ambiance was spectacular. Meat /Seafood forward menu. Reservations are required.
Une soirée aussi surprenante & agréable que le nom du restaurant.
Bon accueil. Nous avions une réservation pour deux à 21h40. Peu d'attente.
Il y avait de l'ambiance & de la musique mais - & nous l'avons noté & apprécié - il était tout à fait possible de s'entendre au moins à deux.
Nous avons été pris en charge notamment par Louis & Flavia qui ont été impeccables & accueillants, en expliquant les mets & les boissons. Louis nous a parlé de son affection pour le restaurant avant même d'y travailler & raconté qu'auparavant l'établissement vendait des petits cadeaux (d'où le nom du restaurant aujourd'hui).
La cuisine est fine & parfumée. Nous avons partagé nos plats & pris un saké trouble en carafe qui nous a duré tout le repas.
L'oeuf, le canard, les légumes & les sashimis tout était excellent, jusqu'au dessert un brownie revisité.
Je recommande +++

Food was ok. Portion is small & nothing was outstanding. For the milk bread, the proportion between the puree & bread was really off. So we had a lot of leftover puree. Sashimi was also just ok.
I forgot about the 2 hours dining policy written on the reservation page & the waitress didn't mention it when we arrive despite that we told her it was our first time here. When we said we wanted desserts, she said she already let us overstayed so she would need to check. Although at the end, she said we can stay another 15 mins, our mood was ruined. If it's an important meeting, I don't suggest to come :(
Replied to owner: as we booked the restaurant a week in advance, & 2 hours eating time is NOT a common practice in Montreal, I believe a restaurant should inform the guests especially when we we said it's our first time visiting. Throughout our dining time, the 2 hours time frame was not mentioned until we asked for desserts. For a $100+ per person restaurant, I don't think the service met the standard nor the food.
This gem of a place blew me away. It is a MUST visit if you are in Montreal. Right when I walked in, the decor hit me with a chill retro vibe along with the music being played. The tapas style eats will teleport you to Japan. The tuna sashimi, the marinated duck, are both a must.

It's a very cute restaurant with tasty food. My issue was that it took 2 hours to get through 4 dishes. If they were hot fired dishes maybe that would be ok, but 2 sashimi courses & a cold salad should not take that long to serve. If you like leisurely dining & aren't super hungry maybe this is a good place for you, but we were not satisfied. Especially after spending over $300 for 4 courses & a bottle of wine. The silver lining was our server. She was wonderful.
This was our first trip to Montreal & this was our favorite restaurant on the trip. We had the tasting menu & the food was great all around. The sashimi with the lemony sauce & the duck breast were my favorites. We also had some gin cocktails that were really good.
The atmosphere is cool & we were able to see some of the cooking & preparation of sashimi from our place at the bar.
Overall we really enjoyed it & would definitely recommend!
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!
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!
The sashimi was good. Noodles decent. The cocktails were a 10 out of 10! The chirashi sushi bowl at $42 was decent. There was a bone in the toro though. Very chill atmosphere with great service. It was too cold though! Even the girl besides me stayed with her winter jacket.
