Dans l'ensemble, les avis soulignent que Fleurs et Cadeaux offre une cuisine japonaise inventive et de haute qualité, avec des sashimis frais, le magret de canard et des nouilles remarquables, et que le comptoir du bar permet d'admirer le travail des chefs dans une ambiance chaleureuse et intime, idéale pour un dîner en amoureux ou entre amis. Le menu, les dégustations et les accords saké et vin sont souvent décrits comme mémorables; le service est quasi universellement apprécié pour son efficacité et sa connaissance, même si quelques commentaires signalent un service lent ou pressé, et une certaine incohérence dans le rythme du service. Les portions peuvent sembler petites par rapport au prix et l'espace au bar peut être un peu serré et les réservations sont recommandées. En dépit de ces bémols, l'impression générale est celle d'une adresse montréalaine de premier plan, avec une ambiance sophistiquée, un décor soigné et une cuisine qui fait voyager.
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.

Here is what we ate my wife & I, from best Nanban chicken Tataki Albacore Duck miso Tantan udon Ohitasi Onsen tamago One of our best meal ever... Cheers
my second time here, & the food & the ambiance are great!! You can't go wrong with this place. The fried chicken, albacore tataki, & miso duck were great! We were not very happy with the service due to our waiter's attitude but overall, I'd recommend this place!
Fleurs & Cadeaux was on my hit list for a while & I finally got to try it. The atmosphere was cozy & the place was quite popping for a Wednesday night. I can be a little picky with my wine & I can honestly say that out waiter went above & beyond to make sure I got the perfect wine for my palate. He brought over quite a number of bottles that fit my criteria for me to sample & pick from. We got the tasting menu & I loved how they curated it specially for us. We started with shrimp chips & a sea urchin aioli, then had an albacore tataki & a braised duck in white miso sauce , which were outstanding. After that, we got a fried chicken dish, & a dish with grilled vegetables, but the star dish was certainly the sushi style platter. There's a cute speak easy beneath the restaurant with good & reasonably cocktails, I especially liked the ones with Japanese whiskey, it was just the perfect way to end the evening.
Pork, roasted duck, tartare, everything was good! We took the tasting menu where you get the chance to try a little bit of everything. On top of that, they have really good wine. I strongly recommend the place if you're craving Asian food!

Hey guys!
Place was recommended by a co-worker, & we were not disappointed. The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant. The ''Japanese cuisine'' was well mastered with a nice splash of modernism. The duck, the albacore & the oursin were just perfect. Definitely will go back......not soon enough. Cheers,
The food is fresh & tasty. We had the chicken & duck which were perfectly cooked & grilled. The fish platter is also super fresh. Note that this is not traditional sushi; the rice is different & you build the sushi yourself. However, the soy sauce was imported directly from Japan & the dish tasted amazing. It is on the pricier side for sure.
10/10 spot in Montreal for incredible Japanese. The way the restaurant is set up is fantastic as most seating is "bar" seating, authentically Japanese, so you can watch the staff prepare certain dishes (we got lucky & were sat right in front of the sushi counter). Excellent ambiance from the second you walk in & great music. As for the food, I have no words. The chirashi sushi was phenomenal - the fish was so fresh & tender with impeccable taste. Was so nice to see the wasabi be freshly prepared to order for each dish which impressed us. The aged duck was absolutely mouthwatering & would highly recommend. However, surprisingly to us, the star of the night was the fried chicken. I don't even know where to begin in describing the dish so all I will say is it is a *must* order. Plus we were pleasantly surprised by the portion size! We love fried chicken & this was hands down the best fried chicken either of us had ever tried. We'll be going back just for the chicken. Can't praise it enough. Service was good but a bit slow, although I think this is intentional from the restaurant so you can get a full experience. There was a bit of a hiccup where we didn't get one of our dishes but our server was a pro & took care of it immediately & made sure the issue was rectified & comped which we felt was super nice. Overall a truly hidden gem in Montreal that merits all of the 5 star reviews it has amassed. Cannot wait to go back asap & also check out Sans Soleil in the basement.
FOOD. GOOD. In all seriousness, every single item we had on Fleurs & Cadeaux's menu showed great attention to detail, with some unique fusion of savoury flavours. Everything was a highlight in its own regard. Nothing missed, even slightly. As such, I highly recommend the soy-based fried chicken, as well as the swordfish, tuna & salmon sashimi. The tofu, duck, & braised pork were also unparalleled dishes. To finish, although I consider their Crème Brûlée to have more so the consistency of a Crème Caramel (thicker), the combination of matcha & fresh blueberries made it an exquisite dessert. Also, honorable mention to the Yuné cocktail. Bang for your buck.

All the food & drinks we had were so good. Sat at the bar in front of the grill which was a cool view to see everything was cooked. We had the miso duck, flank steak, udon & tataki between 2 of us. Everything was amazing, so fresh & delicious. We will definitely be back when we are in Montreal again.

My second time going there with my girlfriend. It's an unreal experience every time. The staff are so nice & the food is some of the best in the city. Can't recommend enough. It's such & honest & unpretentious place. The duck blows your mind & that creme brulee....WOW!!1
Everything about this place is so good. Definitely worth the price. The chirashi was immaculate & the duck was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Can't wait to go back.
