Just came here for dinner at Fleurs & Cadeaux since we were staying right across the street, & what an incredible surprise.

Don't be deceived by the exterior. The moment you walk in, it feels like you've been transported to another era. What was once an old flower shop has been transformed into a beautiful Japanese-inspired vintage space, complete with an amazing vinyl soundtrack, warm lighting, & one of the best atmospheres we've experienced in Montreal.

We started with the three-day white miso-aged duck, lightly charred & absolutely spot on. The flavors were deep, balanced, & unforgettable. For drinks, I had the matcha yuzu cocktail, which was exceptional & one of the highlights of the evening.

The Alberta beef bavette yakiniku, marinated in shoyu koji & cooked medium rare, was outstanding. You could smell the beautiful char in every bite. Paired with the mushrooms & grilled Brussels sprouts I believe, it was a perfect combination of textures & flavors.

We also tried the Tantan Udon, which had just the right amount of spice-flavorful, comforting, & delicious without being overpowering. The Poulet Nanban (fried chicken) was another standout & easily one of the best versions I've had.

To finish, we had the hojicha cheesecake for dessert with cream & yuzu, which was beautifully balanced & the perfect ending to the meal.

The service elevated the entire experience. The gentleman with glasses, Juliette, & the rest of the team were fantastic-explaining every dish & drink, checking in regularly, refilling our water, & making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the evening.

Considering the quality of the food, the impeccable service, & the incredible ambiance, I would say this experience rivals many Bib Gourmand restaurants I've visited during my travels. Having dined at numerous Michelin-starred & Bib Gourmand establishments around the world, I'm honestly surprised that Fleurs & Cadeaux hasn't yet received that recognition. It's one of the more notable omissions I've come across.

If you're visiting Montreal, you're in for a treat. If you read this review, just go ahead & book yourself. I tell you, this is a good value for what it is. From start to finish, this was a beautiful dining experience that I would happily return to again & again.

By far the best restaurant we tried while visiting Montreal. We got the tasting menu which was a total of 6 courses & we also ordered dessert & drinks. Everything tasted amazing & the portions were perfect. The atmosphere was great, & the staff were very kind. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations.

Had great food & I would give it a 4.5/5 experience. Highly recommend going in a group so that you can discover the menu more by sharing plates. Totally worth the price you pay! Only thing we found was since we went on a Friday evening, it was fully packed & one of the items was forgotten until the end but they immediately brought it after asking so no issues.

J'ai choisi ce restaurant pour un anniversaire, ce fut une superbe soirée. La nourriture était delicieuse, la fraicheur des produits est évidente. & que dire de la salade de pommes de terre, wow! Le service était professionnel même si on voyait bien que toute l'équipe était occupée, tout était fluide grâce au travail d'équipe. Le choix de saké est impressionnant.
