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!

Great atmosphere & even better service!

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 to our server Ismael!
