A fantastic dining experience from start to finish! The layout is reminiscent of the establishments in Japan, long & narrow while sharing an intimate setting with the chef. Chef An goes into detail about each high quality ingredient & the thought process of the course. The creativity melding traditional Vietnamese flavors, while respecting the familiarity of Japanese dishes elevated with precision & upscale technique. Emily's service perfectly complimented the meal. It felt like being invited into a personal chef's home while they cooked & served you.
There are lunch & dinner options offered at multiple price points, which gives diners an affordable & unique opportunity to experience something special in our expansive culinary city.

Bravo Chef!
An immersive culinary experience that will undoubtedly stay in my top-tier. From the authentic ingredients to their magnificent presentations, Maison An somehow brought me back to Japan in a hearbeat. Every bite was unforgettable & I'd rather keep the menu inside the mystery box as everyday might differ (which is super exciting). Each dish was carefully explained by the chef who showed great passion & knowledge.
Finally, great food always comes with great alcohol for they complete each other. The waitress knew exactly my needs & recommended one of the best wines I've ever had.
As someone who loves trying omakase experiences around the world it was great to discover this gem of Japanese & Vietnamese omakase fusion. Quiet atmosphere (as expected for small Omakase places) so great for those that want to avoid loud places.
Real wasabi is used in dishes here, which should be expected at this price level but actually not the case at many other higher priced Japanese spots in Montreal. An places a big emphasis on ingredient quality.
Unlike most other high end Omakase which only have a dinner option, An is also open for lunch so it's a great option to do a high quality curated omakase lunch for those that have an hour & 15 mins to dedicate to it.
Highly recommended!
This is the very first omakase I have experienced that is fully female owned & operated. The experience & atmosphere was incredible because they are super friendly & paid a lot of attention to the details of the service as well as the customers' experience. The food is not only based on very fresh & uniquely sourced ingredients, but also incorporated lots of new elements that are inspired by the Vietnamese culture. Chef took the time to describe each & every course to make sense of the combination of the different flavors. I also really admired the entrepreneurial spirit & would love to see them thrive in this business.
Absolutely incredible experience.
Food: Every dish was beautifully composed, thoughtful, & absolutely delicious. The presentation was stunning, & I loved how An took us on a journey through Vietnam, Japan, & Canada with each course. Truly a 10/10.
Drinks: The wine pairing was perfect - delicious, well?chosen, & served at the ideal temperature. I appreciated that it was kept chilled throughout the meal. Another 10/10.
Service: Friendly, professional, & attentive without ever feeling intrusive. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish. Our glasses were always full & the pacing of the dishes was spot?on. Definitely 10/10.
Highly recommend. This was a memorable & exceptional dining experience.
We had such an incredible experience at Maison An. The seating is very intimate & the number of people per service felt just right. Chef An took the time to get to know each of us & to talk us through each dish. The food was incredible, executed perfectly & with a story to accompany each dish. If you're looking for an Omakase experience at an excellent price point, you can't go wrong with Maison An.
