Venant de France en vacances à Montréal, nous sommes allés dîner dans ce restaurant avec nos amis qui connaissaient la place.
Nous avons demandé au chef Kazou de nous faire découvrir ses plats, nous l'avons laissé choisir pour nous. Cela fait très longtemps que je n'avais pas pris autant de plaisir pour un repas.
Le repas était merveilleux, délicieusement préparé & plein de saveurs. Chaque plat était un véritable régal. Merci pour ce moment gourmand & cette belle expérience culinaire !

Great restaurant, food is outstanding. Get prepared to wait, it is tiny & they do not take reservations, but the wait is worth it.

I can't even begin to describe how phenomenal the Pork shoulder steak with mash potatoes was!! Pictures do not do it justice!! The flavor profile of every part of my meal was divine! Even more so when they were all mixed together! Very distinctive flavors & OH SOOOO GOOOD!! Definitely worth the wait & the hype! I felt like this was a 20oz pork shoulder!! MASSIVE!! It was thick, juicy, flavorful, & orgasmic!! I was so in love with every bite of this! The mash potatoes soaking up all the different sauces also elevated the experience. The real MVPs of the house cooking in this heat was so insane to me! Excellent customer service! These chefs make it look seamless! Just locked in & delivering quality, uniqueness, & a great service! I didn't even have to wait long for my food! Super impressed by how fresh everything was & the presentation!! I can't wait to come back!! Michelin star in the making! 🙌🌟

The grilled octopus is perfect but the portion is very small!
The chirashi is good but it's a bit small.
My favorite is grilled seabass!!
I tried kalubi beef here too & it was perfect!

Quelle belle découverte sur la rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest. Nous avons passé un moment fantastique dans ce restaurant. L'ambiance est conviviale & chaleureuse.

Tout ce que nous avons goûté était délicieux & très bien présenté. J'ai particulièrement adoré le bol de salade avec ses nouilles croustillantes disposées sur le dessus, un vrai régal pour les yeux & le palais. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.
