This gem of a place blew me away. It is a MUST visit if you are in Montreal. Right when I walked in, the decor hit me with a chill retro vibe along with the music being played. The tapas style eats will teleport you to Japan. The tuna sashimi, the marinated duck, are both a must.
Cool restaurant with great interiors & a cool concept. However, when we walked in (with a reservation), no one greeted us, & there isn't much of a waiting area since the place is so small. It felt a bit awkward just standing by the door without any staff acknowledging us. The menu is on the smaller side, & my husband has some gut health issues, so he asked if a few dishes could be modified slightly. Unfortunately, the response was an immediate'no.' without offering any alternatives. The waiter wasn't rude, but that just created a weird vibe for us, so we left. It just didn't seem like the right spot for us. That said, others around us seemed to really enjoy their meals.

A unique dining experience! The building has a charming vintage feel, & part of the kitchen is right in the middle of the restaurant, giving it an energetic, interactive vibe. We sat at the bar & loved watching the action unfold. We ordered the chicken nanban, the temaki sushi, & the aged miso duck dish. All were delicious, but the chicken was definitely the standout for me. The bathroom layout is a bit awkward, but it's a minor detail. Overall, I'd definitely come back again!
Wow! I am a relatively picky eater & even I can appreciate this is great food even if a lot of the flavours were out of my comfort zone. Super flavourful unique dishes. Expensive for the portion size but honestly that's what you pay at these kinds of restaurants. In my opinion, the flavour & quality of food is worth the $. Service is very attentive & you always feel taken care of. Ambiance is very nice with one of the waiters/managers being the DJ constantly providing the vibe 🤑🤑 Yummy would go back!!!
One of the best dinners I've had in months. Everything from the food to the vibe was incredible. We ordered the chinese broccoli, the chirashi bowl, the duck, & the udon, & all were unbelievably delicious. It was the perfect amount for two people (plus a couple drinks each). The duck was the best duck I've ever tasted - period.
Great spot with cool, chill vibes & excellent service. The food is pricey but top quality-portions aren't huge, so maybe eat beforehand. Great wine selection & options for non alcoholic drinks as well. I highly recommend the duck. It was probably the best I've ever eaten in Montreal to be honest. All the sushi was extremely fresh. Overall, a fantastic experience for date night! The Ramen looked delicious & I will definitely be going back to try it!! 4 stars only because after $175 we were still hungry …!!!

Amazing food, sake & vibes - sat at bar counter as party of 2 & thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Fresh sashimi, great spicy tan tan noodles, & the fried chicken nanban was spectacular would absolutely come back!
Superb quality, creative dishes, cool & inviting vibe, attentive & knowledgeable service (Kira rocks! Really knows her wine!🍷). Just wish the kitchens didn't close so early (1030ish) & climate control was a bit better (bursts of hot & cold air). But really fab hidden gem all around!!
We love love love F & C!! Such a gem 💎 Fantastic service, a really cozy/chic vibe, super fresh sashimi & great sake list. I highly recommend. Delicious udon noodles you have to get for the table.
August 2024: 4 stars. Music was more elevator lounge music, not great like last time. Steak dish & agadeshi tofu (very mushroom-ey) dish were good. Udon with minced pork was delicious. Rice bowl was a bit uninspired. brownie was overly buttery & salty. Great presentation for all dishes. Service was excellent as usual though. Yu mi & the sour cocktail were alright. February 2024: 5 stars. Great music, nice atmosphere. Pleasant, attentive service. Same menu as downstairs as far as I noticed, just different vibe (oldies music upstairs, newer stuff downstairs). Duck was delicious. Pickled & grilled vegetable dishes were nicely presented but small portion. Fried chicken was nice & crispy. Really enjoyed my cocktail that had Mezcal in it, as well as the sake recommendation. The dessert was disappointing though. The thin sheet cake was tasteless & had a grainy texture. The haskap cream on top was nice though.
I almost don't want to post this review because I don't want too many folks knowing how truly incredible this gem is. TL;DR: Order sake or Champagne & ask for help if you need it. Sea Urchin Mousse, Miso-Aged Duck, Udon Noodles, save room for dessert. Nightcaps at the bar downstairs if it's not too busy. Two of us, no reservation, Monday night. Seated quickly at the bar & then had to take a good 10 minutes to study the beverage menu. The wines are thoughtfully curated with lots of natural, biodynamic & organic selections. Sake & soju selection is thorough & includes a primer of the styles you might not be familiar with. We selected a bottle of Champagne that would carry us through the flavors of dinner & settled on the mousse à l'oursin, légume ohitashi, canard veilli, & the tantan udon. The sea urchin mousse with shrimp chips arrived first & were perfectly light & crispy with much more subtlety of flavor than I usually expect from uni. The vegetables were Swiss chard & cherry tomatoes in a savory broth, cut into perfectly bite sized pieces. Again, strong flavors perfectly tamed into working brilliantly with each other. When the duck arrived I stared at it for a good 30 seconds before I said anything & it's not an exaggeration when I say the taste is nothing short of revelatory. The charred fat cap melted in the same way the gorgeously thin slices of breast did for a bite that was a legitimate journey through fat, the savory miso, & the smallest bitterness of char. I want duck to be this perfect all of the time. It was halfway through the duck when I realized we still ordered noodles & they arrived drizzled with chili crisp. By far the richest of what we ordered, the small bits of nori over top as well as the remnants of our earlier dishes cut the weight of the sauce. Thankfully there were only two options for dessert & we ordered the brownie with a red miso caramel. Beautifully executed it was the perfect sweet bite to finish before we headed downstairs for a nightcap at the very sexy Sans Soleil. I was pretty high on vibes & champagne so details are light at this point but my cocktail was delicious & the orange wine my date had was tasty. All in all one of my top 5 meals ever & I can't wait to come back. No notes.
We loved the ambiance & decor. The dishes were beautifully presented. A couple of the ingredients in the main dishes sorta "clashed" but overall we loved the vibe so much we'd definitely recommend & go back!

Interesting sushi / Japanese. Very hipster vibe. Worth a visit. We opted for preset menu (not quite omakase) . Lots of good things like chutoro, perfect egg, chirashi, & one carrot appetizer with some unchewable greens.
Great meal & great service. Server was very nice & helped with some suggested choices. Original decor which is very retro & a cool vibe. Definitely recommend.
A fancy little gem with a great vibe. The staff was very kind & explained each dish as it came out. I ordered a few dishes but the two clear standouts were the nanban fried chicken & the chirashi. First off, the fried chicken was a pleasant surprise, because it was INSANE -the best fried chicken I've ever had. The exterior was a perfectly satisfying crisp imbued with the best flavor. It kind of reminded me of Cantonese pan fried chicken but refined to a peak it never thought it could reach. The chirashi was as beautiful as it was delicious. The fish was super high quality & each piece practically melted in my mouth. It was definitely top shelf omakase grade sushi. This place was such a nice treat. Treat yo self.
