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.
Cela faisait longtemps que je voulais tester ce restaurant. La déco est très sympa, les plats très bien exécutés. Les saveurs sont authentiques, c'est très bon. Le bémol est selon moi relatif au service, tout le long du repas nous avons tous les quatre ressenti une forme d'hostilité de la part de notre serveur. Ça ne m'arrive jamais. Ce que j'aime dans ce genre de restaurant à partager, c'est l'interaction avec le serveur qui vous aide à faire des choix selon nos goûts & notre faim, assembler des plats ensemble, proposer un ordre pour commander les plats ect : bref une expérience un petit peu personnalisée. Malheureusement rien de cela hier soir pour nous, nous sommes venus avec ma fille de 2 ans & demi & je ne sais pas si l'hostilité venait de là ( nous n'avons jamais eu de remarque sur son attitude ou quoique ce soit auparavant) , je trouve cela dommage car nous avions réservé à 18:15 ce qui, je pense, est une heure raisonnable pour trouver des enfants dans un restaurant. Pour notre fête d'anniversaire nous avons trouvé cela vraiment dommage. Mais cela n'enlève rien au cadre & à la qualité des plats & des produits.
Bien aimé notre 1ere expérience toutefois, nous avons été mal conseillé en ce qui concerne la quantité de nourriture (6 plats pour 3 personnes avaient été recommandés). Nous avons eu beaucoup trop de nourriture, au moins 2 plats de trop & un peu pressés dans le temps pour libérer la table. Un endroit pour y aller à 2, prendre un verre de vin & chacun un plat.

Wonderful meal-- fabulous ingredients & preparation, & we had the best seats in the house, watching our fresh fish being prepared. Couldn't have been more pleased with the food, or the service.
This was my third visit to Fleurs & Cadeaux, & once again, it did not disappoint. We celebrated a friend's birthday with a group of five, & everything-from the food to the service & ambiance-was perfect. We shared a variety of dishes, & everything was delicious. The standouts for us were the Chirashi sushi, Nanban fried chicken, & the white miso aged duck, which were all exceptional. A must visit !
Not a good experience. All the power to the chefs out in the bar they did a fantastic job I can see that the tataki was good & all the cold items. Holy mother of god did they ever drop the ball with their hot items. Terrible ramen dish, terrible bavette (skirt steak nearly raw & just terribly done), chicken karage was sent back because it died in the window. I spent $200 here & I will for sure never go back. There is a standard that everyone should uphold when spending money at a restaurant, the server was very kind & understanding of my requests but unfortunately severely lacked because I can tell food was "dying" in the pickup window/expo. They need to rethink their specials & stick to less advantageous items, I'm sorry but with the service & the performance of your hot kitchen, you don't have what it takes to be rated. I wish I had my bill comp'd at least 50% but the last few dishes were so bad bad that I left them, paid & left quick. Disappointing.
This izakaya/speakeasy is easily my new fav place. Didn't have reservation so I joined the waitlist online. Arrived before I got a confirmation because we were in the area but got seated right away. 4-5 dishes order is recommended to share for 2 people. We had the chicken nanban, tuna tataki, duck, & tantan udon. The dishes are all delicious. Udon is prob my least fav as it's very heavy & I prefer it cooked a little bit more but it's something good to fill your stomach in the end as the dishes are not big portion. Overall a very great experience with friendly staff. Looking forward to coming back when we visit Montreal again.

Nick est un cuisinier super sympa qui veille toujours à nous proposer des bons plats. Son attention aux détails & sa volonté de satisfaire ses clients font toute la différence. Chaque repas est un vrai régal grâce à ses suggestions & son talent. Je recommande vivement!
