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 une destination de style izakaya japonais exceptionnelle à Montréal, appréciée pour son atmosphère authentique, sa sélection experte de sakés et ses ingrédients frais de haute qualité. Les convives soulignent fréquemment le canard mariné au miso, les plateaux de sashimis et les udons tantan comme des plats incontournables, recommandant souvent le menu dégustation pour une expérience complète. Bien que le décor et la trame sonore vinyle créent un environnement intime, romantique et animé, certains clients trouvent l'espace restreint et les prix élevés en regard des portions. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs bénéficient d'un service chaleureux, compétent et professionnel, les avis sur le rythme du service, le confort des places et l'attitude du personnel peuvent varier. Dans l'ensemble, cela demeure une adresse hautement recommandée pour ceux qui recherchent une fusion japonaise raffinée et une expérience gastronomique mémorable.
Nice little hidden gem in Chinatown. The food was really good, felt like fine dining without the fine dining price. There are many great options to choose from & almost everything was very tasty. Reservations are definitely required for this place. The service was good, courteous & knowledgeable.
We ordered the chicken namban, agedashi tofu, donburi, sea urchin butter with bread & the lamb ramen. The ramen was the highlight for us, it was really flavorful & brought us back to Japan. The sea urchin was very tasty too, but if didn't feel like it had all that much seaurchin in the dish to be called a sea urchin dish. The donburi was also very tasty, though the nori was stale & took quite a bit of chewing. The tofu & the chicken namban were my least favorite. The tofu was a bit plain, though the sauce was very tasty. The chicken was a bit mushy & didn't really fit the rest of the meal, where everything was very well crafted.
The sashimi was a mix of hits & misses,the scallops were especially fresh & delicious, but the salmon was not fresh at all. The Agedashi Tofu was excellent, & the duck dish was also quite good. The environment is fair; a bit old & not particularly Japanese in style, but still acceptable. However, the biggest downside was the price,portions were quite small, making it feel overpriced for what we received.
Very innovative culinary experience in a fun atmosphere. We did the $70 tasting menu & it was more than we could eat. I did find it odd that they started with fried chicken & then moved to lighter vegetarian & fish fare, but most plates were delicious & there were many unexpected flavours. My only complaint would be about the booking process, which required a credit card & also filling out a questionnaire, which felt excessive. The email confirmation actually used the phrase that my reservation had been'received & APPROVED' - which just felt a bit arrogant. It's a restaurant, not a job application.
Love this spot. Highly recommend for a date night - sitting at the bar & watching the magic happen. The food is delicious & so worth the price. The atmosphere is great & the service is always very kind & attentive. The bar downstairs is also a very fun time to dance the night away when you're done eating.
What a surprise. The owners kept this restaurant well hidden! I would have never just walked in.
Very warm, in kind of refined atmosphere.
Great modern Asian food, duck, tuna+++
Some of the reviews must be from Americans that look for volume over refinement? I will be back.
