It was okay.
The service is not good. We waited 15 minutes for our reservation. It sucks knowing you charge a no-show fee & when I show up at my appointed time you don't have a table for me, stuck in a corner where the waiters need to come all the time to get their wines.
Our table ordered all the same drinks, but the beer pours were completely uneven.
The food was okay. Nothing to be excited about. They'll bring it to you however they feel like - which is normally okay, but we got out last dish maybe 15 minutes after everything else was gone coming.
Also, we had maybe 5 different servers that were way too rushed.
Great food, must love fish ! Seating is mostly around the bar where they prepare food. Pricing is affordable. Great wine list & great ambiance. You have to male réservations in advance its quite popular.
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.
I seriously had one of the best meals of my life here a couple of days ago. Our server was an absolute delight & helped our group of 5 make our selections &, omg, the food was delicious. Do not leave this place without trying the duck! I will recommend Fleurs&Cadeaux to anyone who will listen.
Food was overall excellent, we ordered the albacore tataki, the duck, the agedashi tofu & the lamb ramen. The tataki was very well done, fish was very fresh & the outsides were very nicely charred. The wasabi chimichurri was a perfect accompaniment. The duck was flavourful, moist & also charred very well on the outside, but we personally found the mushroom & accompanying veg to clash with the flavour slightly. The lamb ramen was the highlight of the dinner, the lamb chashu was generous, tasty & the texture was wonderful whilst the lamb broth itself felt like a hug. The noodles were also very well done, & still had a bite to them.
Service was also friendly & accommodating. Hope to be back soon!
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!
This was our first trip to Montreal & this was our favorite restaurant on the trip. We had the tasting menu & the food was great all around. The sashimi with the lemony sauce & the duck breast were my favorites. We also had some gin cocktails that were really good.
The atmosphere is cool & we were able to see some of the cooking & preparation of sashimi from our place at the bar.
Overall we really enjoyed it & would definitely recommend!
Très belle découverte. Une cuisine japonaise raffinée & goûteuse. Si vous avez l'occasion de venir sur Montréal, franchissez la porte de ce restaurant où vous serez très bien accueilli & où la musique est présente mais pas envahissante. J'y ai passé un très bon moment.
