Le Château Maneki comes across as a charming intimate spot with a standout pink castle exterior and a cozy upstairs dining area, offering a playful yet refined Japanese inspired menu featuring pressed sushi, sushi hot dogs, tartare and other inventive dishes, along with creative cocktails and mocktails that pair well with the food. Reviews consistently highlight fresh high quality ingredients, beautiful presentation and a welcoming friendly staff, with many noting an immersive vibe and a memorable atmosphere, though some guests find the space small and the noise level high and a few mention slow service or small portions for the price. Reservations are advised and the experience can feel special whether dining upstairs or enjoying drinks at the bar, with standout desserts like matcha tiramisu and inventive drinks in fun glassware mentioned by several reviewers. Overall Le Château Maneki is seen as a memorable hidden gem for sushi and Japanese fusion in Montreal, best enjoyed as a shared tasting experience and with plans to return to explore more of the menu.
First time eating upstairs in the dining room… it's small but quaint.
The food was amazing though some item's portions aren't that big so you'll need to order more.
Service was incredible
Food was incredible
Will definitely be back
Super belle découverte! Le décor est magnifique & crée une ambiance vraiment agréable dès qu'on entre. Le menu de cocktails est incroyable, tout ce qu'on a goûté était excellent. La nourriture était tout aussi délicieuse, les sushis pressés fondaient littéralement dans la bouche, un vrai coup de coeur! J'avais très envie d'essayer les hamachis, mais il n'en restait plus… une bonne excuse pour reveni
The place is simply beautiful, with a wonderful atmosphere. The service was perfect from beginning to end, & the food was extremely delicious. I would also like to give a special thanks to Darey, who made the BEST Licor 43 drink. It was an incredible experience, & I will definitely be coming back!! (Obs: Don't leave without trying the matcha tiramisu!!)
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.

Première visite & j'ai adoré ! L'ambiance est vraiment agréable & chaleureuse, & la nourriture était excellente - tout était frais & délicieux. C'est sûr que j'y retourne ! 10/10
Had a great overall experience. We tried quite a few things on the menu. Not everything was to our liking but everything was fresh & beautifully presented. All of the server's recommendations were amazing. The cocktail we tried was A+. The ambiance was eclectic & inviting however be warned it is fairly small but the layout was well thought out. My family & I enjoyed it & will definitely come back.
Super restaurant! Un peu d'entente pour la nourriture, mais les personnel est exceptionnel! L'ambiance est vraiment parfaite avec du house music, j'ai adoré! Les prix sont vraiment raisonnables aussi. Je vais clairement reveni
Everything was so good. The building & interior decorations are super unique. Our favourite though was the sushi hot dogs.
Highly recommend if you are a fan of sushi to try this place cause they serve it in an interesting way that's very delicious.
Would definitely go back!
