Across reviews for Fleurs et Cadeaux, the dining experience is described as a cozy, intimate Japanese-inspired spot with a standout tasting menu and superb sashimi, duck and ramen, and a strong emphasis on fresh, artfully presented, shareable dishes. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as warm and stylish, with seating at the bar offering an up-close view of the kitchen and a lively, buzzy vibe, while the staff are noted as attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, though a few mention moments when service felt rushed or pacing could improve. The drinks and sake program is highlighted as well curated, pairing nicely with courses, and the quality of ingredients and creativity of preparations are commonly praised to justify the price.

Easily the best meal we had in Montreal. Each dish was crafted with the utmost care & attention to detail. Will definitely make this a frequented stops on future trips.

Le menu dégustation permet de découvrir d'excellents plats que nous n'aurions probablement pas choisis par nous-mêmes. Le service est vraiment attentionné & toujours avec le sourire.
This place has become a must-stop every time I visit Montreal. The food is incredible, the drinks are delicious, but it's the service that keeps me coming back. Gray made our experience unforgettable as their knowledge of the menu & ability to make spot-on recommendations based on our preferences & mood were truly impressive. Thank you, Gray, for making it such a special night!
I'm a pescatarian, but happily cheat for this place. We had the duck, fried chicken, & pork noodles, & every bite was worth it!
Service exceptionnel de la part de Stéphanie! Très chaleureuse, attentionnée & toujours souriante, elle donne envie de revenir. La cuisine était impeccable, la musique excellente & l'ambiance très conviviale. Très bonne expérience, merci!
Went for birthday dinner. Absolutely amazing nouveau Japanese! Started with a tamago each. It was spectacular start to meal! It was soft & the dashi was a delight. One slurp! Chirashi was perfect with substantial pieces of tuna, salmon, whitefish, scallops, real wasabi & yuzu. Soybeans appetizer was served with toasted pieces of milk bread, pickled okra. Fried chicken with a savory black garlic sauce was perfectly crispy. Had a glass of a delicious dry sake with heavy umami. So good! No disappointments except no t shirts in my size! Great friendly service. Unexpected contrast between frumpy exterior & cozy interior. Apparently there's a bar below called Sans Soleil.
Loved this & will be returning!
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.
Fleurs & Cadeaux était mon restaurant préféré à Montréal, mais hier, j'ai été très déçue. Je trouve que la qualité s'est beaucoup détériorée. Est-ce toujours le même chef qu'avant? La mousse d'edamame était fade, le pain trop dense & sec, & la salade de légumes baignait dans la vinaigrette - complètement inintéressante, sans aucune subtilité. Le tartare était bon, mais sans dimension. Par contre, l'albacore était fondant & divin.

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!
