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.
They gave us a bar seat instead of a table although I made my reservation for only two people from 3 days before. There was no option to specify a table or a bar seat at the time of reservation. When I went to the restaurant, I saw an empty table for two that stayed empty until even after the kitchen was closed. It seemed like they have saved the table for their "special customers".
Also, they were out of at least two items on the menu, including the soy sauce ice cream & the miso aged duck which I really wanted to try because I've heard many good reviews for these dishes.
Our seats was close to the entrance & we smelled cigarettes from time to time from outside which was not pleasant.
Other than the mentioned downsides, the food was tasty & it was presented professionally. But I'll probably skip this restaurant next time.

Amazing food & amazing service! We ordered the tasting menu for 5 people & the food filled us up nicely. Everything on the menu was amazing, including the drinks. Shout out to Mayu, she was such an excellent waitress the entire night! Very attentive & super friendly! Definitely coming back to sample the rest of the menu!
Expérience plus que parfaite. Nous avons donné carte blanche à la serveuse assignée à notre table. Des premiers plats jusqu'aux derniers, en passant par plusieurs verres de saké (leur carte des vins est géniale), tout était excellent. On y retourne sans faute! Merci encore!
