Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. Food, service & atmosphere all exceeded our expectations which were fairly high to start with. This was a highlight of our trip to Montreal & we will definitely be back.
Superb quality, creative dishes, cool & inviting vibe, attentive & knowledgeable service (Kira rocks! Really knows her wine!🍷). Just wish the kitchens didn't close so early (1030ish) & climate control was a bit better (bursts of hot & cold air). But really fab hidden gem all around!!
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
