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. Portions are sometimes described as small for the cost, particularly on tasting menus, though many guests say the variety of dishes and the overall experience make it worthwhile. Some reviews note delays and other timing issues or a chilly draft, but the overwhelming sentiment is positive and many call it a must-visit in Montreal for date nights or celebrations, with reservations recommended due to popularity. Standout dishes include sashimi and duck, along with fried chicken and other inventive items, and desserts such as annin dofu or brownie with miso caramel receive praise, while the overall vibe, décor and attentive service keep guests coming back.
Il cibo è davvero buono e il locale molto ben arredato e vivace. Le porzioni però, soprattutto a fronte dei prezzi, sono assolutamente ridicole e per saziarsi bisognerebbe spendere una fortuna. La persona che ci ha servito ci aveva detto che il menù era concepito per condividere e abbiamo preso un po' di piatti con l'idea di prenderne altri dopo aver capito quanta fame ancora avevamo ma le porzioni erano così piccole che ci siamo resi conto che per saziarci (non dico a scoppiare ma semplicemente per non avere fame) avremmo dovuto ordinare 6 piatti a testa.
L'unico piatto del menù che aveva una porzione decente erano i noodles, buonissimi tra l'altro.
Siamo usciti e siamo andati ad un altro ristorante non più economico ma con delle porzioni per esseri umani. Il pollo fritto letteralmente tre pezzetti, 15 dollari per un contorno di peperoncini minuscolo quando una busta da 1kg costa 3 dollari. Dovete tornare sulla terra.
Toute la nourriture était très délicieuse, mais les portions sont minuscules pour le prix. Le restaurant recommande de commander plusieurs plats à partager, mais chaque plat équivaut à comme 2 bouchées pour environ 20-40$.
Incredible! This was a very special meal for my family, & a highlight of our trip to Canada. The food (especially the duck & temaki sushi) was so delicious & uniquely prepared. We enjoyed the atmosphere & the drinks, as well. One of our servers even took the time to show us how to roll the napkins in the shape of roses. A perfect experience.
Food was absolutely amazing. The service was a 10/10. Jack is the best & made up a menu for us with all of his favourites! Most definitely recommend. I will be back
Friendly staff, explained the menu & guided us to create a delicious meal. Different preparation on standard menu items that elevated the food. Good cocktails also
Arrivé par hasard suite au conseil d'un guide. J'étais seul & sans réservation ( je vous conseille de le faire si vous êtes en groupe).
J'ai goûté le magret de canard mariné à la sauce miso blanc & le an mistu glacé pour le dessert, une subtilité dans les saveurs que je constate rarement.
Il en est de même pour les cocktails, excellents ! (La bière aussi).
& enfin le reste : personnel au top & très agréable, & l'ambiance lounge underground avec lumière tamisée & musique sélectionnée avec goût…
J'ai passé une excellente soirée !
Merci !

We tonight enjoyed the tasting menu at Fleurs & Cadeaux & it was a memorable experience.
The standout for us was the Japanese milk bread - truly the best we've ever had. It was incredibly soft, melted in the mouth, & featured a delightfully crispy layer on top.
The fried chicken was also excellent, accompanied perfectly by the black garlic sauce, which was the best sauce pairing for it.
The duck breast was amazing with a lovely charry flavor, but we found the daunted mushroom flavor profile a little off - too sour to complement the smokiness of the breast well.
We particularly loved the Toro special dish; its richness & buttery texture, combined with a subtle brininess of the sea, made it exceptional. Even my friend, who's not usually a seafood fan, enjoyed it thoroughly.
For dessert, we tried both the annin dofu & the brownie, with the brownie absolutely standing out. The chocolate had an impressive density balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the caramel, & the cream on top was a lovely finishing touch.
The service was top notch throughout the evening. Every dish was presented beautifully, & the timing between courses was just right. The only suggestion we have is to consider expanding the tasting menu slightly-adding one or two more dishes or increasing the portion size of a couple of dishes, such as the fried chicken, would help round it out perfectly for 3 people.
Overall, an excellent dining experience with delicious food & attentive service. Highly recommended!
What a Montreal gem! Unassuming from the outside, it has quickly jumped to the top of my list for special restos in the city. It was a fantastic dinner, the food was incredible, & the sake selection was great. Staff were friendly & fun & the atmosphere is cozy chic. Managed to go downstairs afterwards to Sans Soleil & danced to vinyl records - all this on a Monday! Hard to find good restos that are open on a Monday night, let alone one with immaculate vibes! Thanks for having us!
Speak-easy vibes with truly amazing dishes & great drinks. We had amazing service & tried all the recommendations. My favourite dishes were far & away the duck & the sashimi. The fried chicken was also a must-order. Highly recommend checking them out.
Had been wanting to come here for a while after hearing amazing reviews & decided to take visitors from out of town to try it. I read reviews online that a tasting menu was available but our server did not inform us of such thing.
I was surprised at how underwhelming the food was, especially for the price. The sashimi platter should have been the highlight, but was not. It was mediocore & there was barely any wasabi provided, given that sashimi is traditionally eaten with wasabi. The udon noodles were also just noodles that tasted like they were covered in tahini. The best part was the duck, which even then, was super chewy despite being thinly cut.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'd return but the ambiance was spectacular. Meat /Seafood forward menu. Reservations are required.
