The food was incredible! The best items were the glazed cod & the hand rolls. Service was equally amazing. Ismael was incredibly welcoming & knowledgable. He treated us really well.
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.
I'm just a foodie & travel lover who enjoys trying new places & experiences & sharing them along the way. If you like scrapbook-style posts & discovering spots like this, come hang out with me on TikTok @foxy.appetite & IG @foxyappetite 🫶
Un agréable moment dans ce nouveau resto fusion japonaise dans l'Hôtel William Gray.
Un grand merci à David & Xavier pour leurs conseils & service personnalisé! Une belle place pour partager des petits plats dans une bonne ambiance musique dans un décor style mid-century. Coups de coeur pour le délicieux Le Connaisseur Temaki Hand Rolls, stylish Shiitake Tempura & la généreuse portion du Tartare de Wagyu & Os de moelle.
Loved the experience here for a happy hour. It's a lovely restaurant. The appetizers was good, took the wagyu tartare, the signature temaki rolls (connoisseur) & the shiitake tempura! Our waiter David was so friendly & gave excellent food recommendations! Merciii David!
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!
