My partner & I had drinks here last week. Cool, relaxing vibe. My service & martini made by Steven was fantastic. We will return next trip to Montreal.

A friend & I were dining at the Freddi bar located in the Hotel William Grey in Old Montreal on July 4, 2026. We had the luck & pleasure of having Steven as our bartender! Steven was wonderful: very outgoing, friendly, interesting & made drinks to our liking & tastes. We were the last two patrons of the night & Steven kept the bar open as long as he could so that we could take our time & not rush.
It was a pleasure to meet Steven & I am so glad he was part of our Montreal experience!
Une superbe découverte ! Le drink était absolument excellent. Un immense merci à Steven & Ismaël pour leur service client irréprochable & leur accueil ultra chaleureux. C'est une certitude : nous allons revenir très bientôt, cette fois-ci pour goûter à la cuisine !
If I lived near Old Town in Montreal, I would think twice about writing a review like this. Why? Because I've seen that undiscovered gems like this become hard to get in once they are discovered.
There is no doubt in my mind that Freddis will be increasing popular & a huge hit.
We were staying at the William Gray Hotel fie a few days & stumbled onto when looking around the lobby. They had just been open 3 weeks, & not too crowded, so we stopped in for a drink at the bar. The first two dishes, shashimi & a'traditional' crab roll, were incredibly good. From there we had more sushi rolls & a black cod dish that melts in your mouth.
Two talented mixologists served up perfect vesper martinis. Then Ana el served up a house original the'Net-su' that you must try. Xavier, the manager & mixologist created this delightful concoction.
Super friendly & fast service from the bar & the kitchen. Great vibe- we had lots of fun.
There are a lot of fine restaurants in Montreal. But we decided to go back to Freddi's again the next night.
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.
