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.

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.
Fun pace for natural wine & Japanese food. I am from Japan, it is not a place for traditional food but quality was really good & pairing with natural wine was fun. Friendly service too
Nous avons commandé 2 cocktails très bon ! & 4-5 plats délicieux sauf le canard , malheureusement, qui je crois avait été oublié & est donc arrivé froid & sec, mais le serveur s'est excusé & a trouvé un moyen de nous faire oublié ce petit incident ! Je recommande fortement ce restaurant, la nourriture est bonne, l'ambiance aussi & surtout le service qui pour ma part a été impeccable !
Incredible Udon dish. Service was great, English speakers Atmosphere is so amazing. The place looks a bit unassuming from the outside but once you go in you feel transported.
Came here for a date night while we were in Montreal. My partner chose it based on the high google reviews. I liked that the interior was so unique, & we were seated very quickly. Our server came to take our drink & food order in a decent amount of time, & our first two dishes (legume ohitashi & onsen tamago) came out very fast. & then we sat there for a good 30 minutes with no food in front of us & our server not checking in. I started to get confused & annoyed when the table beside us received their uni cream & shrimp chips 5 minutes after they had ordered, while we were still waiting for ours. We had to flag our server down to ask what was happening, & my partner reminded her of the dishes we had ordered. She scrambled to find her words for a bit & then explained that because we had ordered the sashimi platter with the temaki add on, our other dishes would be served after the platter as was their "policy" (this is blatantly untrue as the table beside us had ordered the sashimi platter with the temaki add on as well & their dishes came in the order they placed them). I wouldn't have minded if she had told us she forgot some of the dishes we had ordered instead of lying. I would've given the atmosphere a higher score, but there was a group of drunk people who came in & sat behind us who did not control their volume (yelling extremely loudly at each other) & weren't asked to, despite it interrupting other's conversations & detracting from the experiences of the tables around them. The food was tasty & we had a few stand out dishes (the uni cream shrimp chips & the aged white miso duck were excellent), & the pricing was fair. Overall the experience could've been better, but this is a decent place to get Japanese food in Montreal.
Great service but it didn't make up for our disappointment with the food. We ordered the tasting menu & got a tomato & greens salad which was ok, nothing special. The duck was over cooked & not salty at all. But to make up for the unseasoned duck, the next dish was the cold soba noodles in the saltiest sauce. There wasn't much else in that dish you could enjoy anyways, the soba texture was off & the toppings didn't add anything in terms of flavor or texture. Finally we got the sashimi, which was ok. I've had fresher & better texture sashimi elsewhere. The rice at the bottom of the sashimi bowl was way over seasoned with vinegar & it was also overcooked. It felt like a gimmick to me. You are seated at the bar where you can see the chefs preparing the dishes meticulously & using garnish tweezers which looks fancy but unfortunately, good presentation can't make something taste better. Hope you will improve your menu & adjust the seasoning level on the dishes.
