A new venue, Freddy, at hotel william gray, proved excellent in every way. Matsui provided excellent service, along with anna & two others. We enjoyed immensely & wish Freddy a great future.
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.

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!
The miso-maple glazed black cod is one of the dish you should try ! The connoisseur is also great to start with as well! The service with Ismael & Matteo was great as well. Answered all our questions & went out of their way to accommodate us with honey for the Brussels sprouts.
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!
