Fleurs & Cadeaux se définit comme un établissement japonais dynamique spécialisé dans les sushis artisanaux roulés à la main et les profils de saveurs authentiques. Le menu privilégie des ingrédients marins frais préparés avec une technique précise pour mettre en valeur les textures naturelles et les subtilités saisonnières. La clientèle découvre une sélection rigoureuse de nigiris et de sashimis qui souligne la clarté des poissons de qualité supérieure associés à un riz vinaigré assaisonné. Cet espace fonctionne comme une destination dédiée aux amateurs de savoir-faire culinaire traditionnel axé sur l'intégrité des produits importés du Japon. L'environnement intérieur facilite une interaction directe avec le processus de préparation, en maintenant une attention stricte sur l'équilibre entre la présentation esthétique et la substance culinaire. Chaque élément reflète une adhésion rigoureuse aux techniques fondamentales de la culture sushi classique.
Fleurs & Cadeaux est largement reconnu comme un bistrot japonais incontournable à Montréal, apprécié pour son atmosphère intime, sa musique entraînante et ses plats d'inspiration izakaya savamment préparés. De nombreux clients louent la qualité exceptionnelle et la fraîcheur des sashimis, le canard vieilli au miso riche en saveurs, ainsi que le menu dégustation créatif, soulignant souvent que manger au bar pour observer les chefs en action enrichit grandement l'expérience. Bien que le service soit fréquemment décrit comme chaleureux, compétent et professionnel, certains convives ont rapporté des irrégularités, notant parfois des délais pressants, des attitudes impersonnelles ou des portions jugées petites par rapport au prix. Malgré des avis partagés sur le processus de réservation et le rapport qualité-prix, l'établissement demeure une destination hautement recommandée pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience culinaire unique et de grande qualité dans le quartier chinois.
Sashimi both tuna & salmon was not cleaned well, it had sinew / stringy connective tissues. Especially tartare was horrible made with scraps trimmed parts that are literally only sinew. If you're going with'tasting menu' choose your own dishes. Fried chicken & duck dish were ok. Udon at the end was spicy & did not taste good at all. Plum rice wine umeshu was the only highlight to our dinner.
This was my second visit. I had mixed feelings after the first one & decided to give it another chance to see if the experience would improve. Unfortunately, it did not. If anything, I would say it has deteriorated.
The restaurant benefits from a prime location & seems to attract a large number of tourists & office workers. As a result, it is constantly busy. You quickly get the feeling that turning tables as fast as possible is a priority, both from the way guests are received & from the rushed, impersonal service.
As for the food, it was hit or miss. The sashimi bowl was good, & the vegetable appetizers were enjoyable. The fried chicken was decent. However, the udon noodles were overwhelmingly spicy. Even some of the Asian guests at our table commented on it. The desserts were simply uninspiring.
The alcohol selection is also overpriced for what it offers. What I found particularly odd is that once you order a bottle, the staff stop pouring it for you after the initial service.
Overall, the restaurant has potential, but in my opinion there are many better options in Montreal, & in Chinatown.

The food, drinks, atmosphere, & service were all great. We were seated at the bar & the bartender was very friendly & knowledgeable regarding the menu. Had the potato salad, agedashi tofu, sashimi plate, chicken nanban, & duck.
took my boyfriend here for his birthday & we absolutely loved everything! the chicken was delicious & the service was great! i would totally recommend sitting at the bar :)
My wife & I shared the following dishes:
Tsukemono (various pickled veggies) 8/10
Chirashi Sushi (assorted sashimi) 8/10
Miso Duck 9/10
Nanban (fried chicken) 9/10
The place & ambiance are nice, & service was good & efficient, but it simply takes too long between dishes, so you just kind of end up waiting for what's next. Tasty food but too much $ & time spent for what you get.
Great atmosphere & fun concept. But the food was heavy & unrefined. Onsen egg the highlight, lovely dashi. Nanban chicken a mediocre karaage, pieces too large & lacking crunch. Chirashi fish very nice but served on disappointing rice that was like a dry, cold, underseasoned afterthought. Basically a 7.5/10 experience if Google allowed that, fine but not worth a detour.
Delicious food & flavours that really excite the pallet. Everything was delicious, the duck the beef the sushi the chicken the dessert the cocktails wow wow wow - music was too loud I could barely bear the person beside me & was giving a Latin / jazz vibe… would have loved more lounge or lower volume music - other wise great staff & food !! We will be back :)))
This place had an amazing & unique vibe great for a night out. The sashimi was excellent however I was a bit disappointed with their chicken. The service was also wonderful & I loved their cocktails.
