Le Château Maneki is described as a tiny, intimate spot with a speakeasy vibe upstairs, where the atmosphere is warm, charming and often noted as Instagrammable; the menu is praised for freshness and creativity, featuring pressed sushi, sushi dogs, tartare and other inventive dishes, paired with standout cocktails and mocktails that many reviewers loved. Staff are frequently highlighted as friendly and attentive, contributing to memorable date nights or gatherings, but several comments point to drawbacks such as very small seating areas, stairs at the entrance, occasional slow or uneven service, and prices that some feel are high for the portion sizes. Despite these caveats, many reviewers call it a hidden gem worth visiting to experience the unique concept, plan to return, and appreciate the overall experience and the emphasis on presentation and flavor.
Nous avons essayé pour la première fois hier dans la nouvelle salle à manger. La nourriture est excellente en plus d'être selon moi très abordable. Le service est impeccable. J'ai beaucoup aimé le décor. Nous allons revenir c'est certain :)

La nouvelle salle à manger ressemble à un speakeasy, nice vibes!! Bonne bouffe & j'adore les cocktails! Faudrait ouvrir un endroit dans le sud-ouest svp Station crémazie c'est loin!
Concept de restauration tendances, mes papilles étaient captivées par les différentes saveurs du menu, un château emblématique qui met un grain de gaieté dans le quartier. Un détour à ne pas manquer. J'ai tout adoré
Food was really really good but for the price portions are quite small. Also not very many choices on the menu, & the cocktails are not good in my opinion... way too sweet.

On a beaucoup aimé le Maneki classique & Ebi croustillant au chili. Donburi Maguro truffle était underwhelming à notre goût, en rajoutant un peu de wafu c'était parfait. Tartare Classic Maneki était bon, mais au final les sushis ont volé la vedette! Les aliments étaient frais & bien choisi. Belle attention au détail! (point boni pour le collant de chat sur la commande). Quand on y retournera, on prendra 4 commandes de sushis à deux, c'est certain :)
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.
Wow, what an amazing experience. As soon as you walk up to order you are greeted by the nicest people ever! The food was absolutely amazing. Everything is fresh & extremely flavourful. The drinks were 10/10, the toad ally awesome mocktail was to die for. Will definitely be coming back!!
The staff is so lovely & the food really is very flavourful but on the expensive side for the portion sizes. They don't offer any vegetarian options on the menu but very kindly made adjustments to accommodate & prepare something vegetarian friendly for me. The mocktails are amazing though - we tried four of them & every single one was a hit! Looking forward to coming back when the menu is expanded!
Japanese casse-croute! Very good donburi & pressed sushi. Mock tails are delicious. Ice cream was pineapple & vanilla soft serve - excellent. A little pricy but definitely worth it to me!

Très bon menu sauf pour le tartare & le donburi au thon gochujang, le goût était un peu aqueux, mais les autres items étaient vraiment délicieux! Le format des sushis était aussi original. Prix un peu trop haut, il faut 2 items par personne ce qui revient à 30$ & plus.
We went on a Friday at lunch time in october. It was a pretty cold day. We first thought that we could eat inside, but the location only had an outside terrace with a wooden fence. They had heating gear & covers for clients, but we couldn't go to the inner tables since we had a stroller for our baby & the front table blocked the way. Instead, we went on the other side with benches. There was no heating gear, but luckily there was sunlight coming out. The food was really tasty but pricy for the quantity. We ordered Unagi Donburi (more rice than eel, but the mix with the avocado was really good), tuna pressed sushi (the wasabi sauce & peas really gave a good texture to the pressed sushi, not enough tuna) & yuzu mocktail (more ice than drink, but good combination) as a drink.
