MAKAō transcends being just a restaurant, offering an unforgettable experience that ignites curiosity, tantalizes the palate, and transports you to a realm where the East seamlessly unites with the West in exquisite harmony.
Relish the deep, rich traditions of Asian cuisine—the flavors and techniques developed over centuries—and let them also introduce you to the bold innovations that characterize modern Western cooking.
Nestled in the heart of Montreal’s Chinatown, MAKAŌ is the ultimate destination for those seeking an authentic and immersive cultural experience.
MAKA? is praised as a stylish yet cozy spot with a chic and welcoming vibe, where guests often call the food delicious and creatively balanced and the cocktails and desserts stand out; the service is repeatedly described as attentive and friendly, contributing to an overall strong experience, though a few dishes may lack flavor or depth for the price and there can be waits or crowded seating during peak times; oysters on Wednesdays, standout offerings like bang bang shrimp and lobster fried rice and a refined ambiance make it suitable for dates, group dinners or celebrations, with a vibe that is both intimate and lively; while some experiences vary, the consensus is largely positive and many say they would return to MAKA?
I had an absolutely incredible experience at Makao in Montreal. From the moment we walked in, everything felt elevated - great atmosphere, amazing energy, & top-tier service.
Our waitress, Vlada, was truly outstanding. She was attentive without being overbearing, incredibly friendly, & made the whole experience feel special. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests, & it made a huge difference.
The food was just as impressive. I ordered the Szechuan steak, & it was cooked perfectly - tender, flavorful, & exactly what I was hoping for. Every bite was spot on. & the Dragon Margarita… wow. Easily one of the best cocktails I've had - bold, balanced, & absolutely delicious.
Between the service, the food, & the drinks, this place knocked it out of the park. I would highly recommend Makao to anyone visiting Montreal, & I'll definitely be back.
