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.
Top 3 de mes restaurants ! L'ambiance, le service & la cuisine sont une expérience incroyable ! Je suis toujours agréablement conquis par la fraîcheur & la qualités de tout les aliments, chaque bouchée est un nuage en bouche.
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!
Superbe ambiance! J'ai adoré mon expérience au bar. Service un peu lent initialement pour prendre la commande (mais resto bondé), ensuite bon roulement/service. Les sashimis sont wow! Toute la nourriture excellente!
commandé 2 plateaux de 30 morceaux ch. il est arrivé avec 1 plateau & après le décompte il y avait que 50 morceaux. Après commandé 5 repas reçu 4 & 15 min.à 20 min. plus tard reçu la 5ième entrée on m'avait oublié, pour se racheter il nous on offre 2 entrées genre oeuf visceux moyen comme goût. Désolé pour le service. A+
I have been to this restaurant several times during the past year. On previous occasions I would have given them a 5 star rating for the service & food. This time I cannot with good conscience do the same. The food is excellent & our server was great. Beware that there are a couple of seats around the bar & cooking stations & take away from the food & service. These seats make you feel like you are eating at a casse croute. They seated us behind a screen. I have sat where there was at least a plexiglass where you can see what is happening but these 2 seats for. Dinner that is between 260-300$ is not acceptable.
This place is soooo good!! The food, service, vibes are all amazing. The urchin mousse is honestly a must. Same with the tofu & rice dish. The yuzu tart is amazing!! Blew me away. The service is very friendly & attentive. For a reservation of 2 people, you will be seated at the bar. Good options for pescatarians. We got a reservation day-of.

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.
