I visited Freddi on a Thursday night in early May with my fancy foodie friend Farzy… she loves a good expensive dinner & I'm always down to try a new restaurant.
The interior has this dark, elegant atmosphere. Curved velvet chairs, marble tables, dim lighting… definitely the kind of place that makes you feel trendy & cool.
Freddi is fusion Japanese with an izakaya-style menu built around sharing plates, which honestly made the whole experience more fun. We shared everything & ranked our favorites after every bite.
Our server Ishmael was really warm & attentive throughout the night, which helped balance out the upscale atmosphere & made everything feel comfortable instead of intimidating.
To drink, I ordered the Umekage cocktail with rhubarb tequila, plum liqueur, vermouth rouge, lime, & black balsamic vinegar. It was nicely balanced… fruity, slightly deep, & easy to sip slowly through dinner.
One of the standout dishes for me was the Oscietra caviar & maguro toast with sea urchin butter. Definitely a splurge at $56… but honestly? It completely melted in your mouth. Rich, buttery, salty in the best way.
We also shared the hamachi & maguro sashimi duo with maple ponzu vinaigrette & wasabi aioli. I personally preferred the lighter-colored sashimi because it tasted more delicate & buttery to me, but both were super fresh & beautifully prepared.
The Connoisseur temaki hand rolls were probably my favorite part of the meal overall. The lobster & capers crumble hand roll immediately won me over… sooo good. The tuna sashimi with braised shiitake was a close second, followed by the hamachi sashimi with caviar.
Freddi feels like a great dinner spot for a date night… share plates, sip cocktails slowly, & romanticize being in Montréal on a random Thursday night.

Je suis allée chez Freddi 2 fois jusqu'à maintenant, une fois le soir & une fois sur l'heure du lunch, & les deux fois c'était vraiment une belle expérience. On a été servis par David à chaque visite & il est incroyable. Super attentif, il connaît vraiment bien le menu.
J'ai aussi été agréablement surprise par leurs cocktails d'inspiration japonaise. Le Usucha, le Ko & le Kanso étaient tous excellents.
Le restaurant est vraiment beau & surtout très confortable. Les banquettes sont parfaites pour passer une longue soirée, & le grand bar au centre donne une super ambiance, surtout pour une date night.
Côté nourriture, les'Chicken Karrage Bao Bun'sont devenu mon incontournable pour le lunch.
Pour le souper : le'Hamachi & Maguro Sashimi Duo','The Classic 3 Rolls','Wagu Gyoza' & le'Miso-Maple Glazed Black Cod' sont tous exceptionnels. & en dessert, le'Strawberry & Mascarpone Sando' ainsi que le'Japanese Cheesecake' sont des valeurs sures!
Absolutely fantastic experience! If you are looking for a handcraft cocktail with premium ingredients, this is the place! The reduce menu still offers a variety of flavors that will delight your night! A new'must' in the old port!
Nous avons passé un très beau moment au Freddi! Quelle belle ambiance chaleureuse ! ✨ Les cocktails & les plats étaient délicieux & raffinés. Le service de Léon était courtois & attentionné. Nous reviendrons certainement dans ce lieu de prestige ! ☺?☺?
Best dishes: temakis (such interesting flavours), black cod (this is a must get), brussels sprouts (basic but they just really nailed it from texture to taste)
Cocktails: I was so impressed by every single one of their drinks. Shioka (i don't like olives nor blue cheese nor vodka, but this was such a trip!), Kanso (goes down sooo smooth), Aoba (sounds hardcore but was also very pleasant)
Thank you Ani & Pascal for your time & attention. Me & my family had a really great time.
The atmosphere is very cozy & the attention to detail is all there. The food is very fresh & the selection of cocktails with the accompanying side is an amazing twist.
