Review Summary

Le Château Maneki offers a unique and intimate dining experience that many guests describe as a hidden gem, characterized by its cozy atmosphere, eclectic decor, and creative menu. While the sushi and inventive dishes receive high praise for their freshness and flavor, and the imaginative cocktails and mocktails are widely appreciated, the experience is polarizing regarding value. Many patrons find the portions small relative to the price point, and the compact size of the dining area leads to mixed feedback on comfort and accessibility. Service is frequently highlighted as friendly, thoughtful, and professional, although occasional inconsistencies in timing or attentiveness are noted. Despite some concerns regarding wait times and seating, most visitors view it as a memorable spot perfect for a date night or special occasion, with many expressing a strong intention to return.

The food was delicious! Appreciated the experience of the culinary creativity with their pressed sushis & their maneki dog. The portion felt a bit small but was worth it for the experience. Also enjoyed their yuzu biru. It was just an added squeeze of yuzu in beer but it made quite the difference.

The atmosphere & the interior was cozy & elegant at the same time. The 2nd floor was smaller than expected but I think it fitted the intimate vibe. Also having a staff greeting on the upper floor felt creative & fun. I just wish there was a staff guiding us to make our way up. I was confused at first & had to peak through the window on the lower floor.

Very cozy & nice spot! The bar is beautiful & the employees are very nice. The food was delicious, my favorite were the pressed sushi (especially the crunchy ebi), & the matcha tiramisu. The first time I came I had the espresso martini & yesterday I had the Hakuna ma-sake, both were delicious 😋.The music is also very good also. Overall, very nice place to have a night out with friends or for a date :).

Montreal foodie vibe right here. An old Montréal ice cream shop converted into a asian fusion place.'Pressed' Sushi, Sushi hotdogs & tartare & super funny mocktails & cocktails. It's refreshing to go a innovative place that also serve fresh food. It was delicious & full of flavor. I will definitely return!

Loved all the food (especially truffle pressed rice) & the staff was excellent. The lock tails/cocktails were fun.

Absolutely loved this place. Very nice atmosphere & enjoyed the speakeasy ambiance. My highlight were the Maneki dogs. However, I thought there was too much rice in comparison to the fish in the pressed sushi & was let down by the matcha tiramisu that didn't taste fresh but rather cold & hard. Their mocktails were also very good! Overall would absolutely recommend.

I had an incredible night at Chateau Maneki. It's so cute & cozy, & the food is fantastic. The standouts for me were the Hakuna Ma-Sake cocktail for being creamy with a little lemon freshness & a sweet finish, the pressed crunchy wasabi roll & the cabbage appetizer. The only downside is that the adorable tables are a little on the tiny side for my long legs - next time I will request a spot at the bar, but make no mistake I will be back. I hope they are wildly successful & open a location closer to me

So good! Every bite & sip I took was delicious. They recently opened a room on the second floor that has real speakeasy vibes. Will be coming back to try more pressed sushis & cocktails!

We got some pressed sushi to share. It was so delicious. We ordered the unagi kabayaki & the sake truffé as well as the p'ti cochon fizz to drink that was served in a pig! 😄 It wasn't a lot of food for 2 people, but it was really good. Although there is only outdoor seating, the restaurant has heat lamps as well as blankets. They also have free tea & water in the seating area. 5 star experience. Château Maneki really thought of everything.
