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?
Je suis allée manger chez Makao & honestly… la bouffe était INCROYABLE.
J'ai pris les lamb chops - portion généreuse, flavor qui a dépassé toutes mes expectations 🔥
& là… l'Amaretto Sour… JÉSUS.
I almost wanted to kiss the bartender 😭 she made that drink like she knew :
'nopeee, it's Saturday night, let me make her night.'
Bref, je recommande à 100%. Food, vibes, drinks… tout était on point 💃🏽🍸

10/10 would recommend, we stayed at an Airbnb that was in the same building & the host recommended it to us. Super glad we went! The music was nice, the staff was punctual & professional, & the food was great. If it wasn't such a short trip for us we definitely would come again
We had great experience at maka? restaurant on my birthday. Perfect best service, the waitress was very welcomed , serving everything on time professionally, the food was delicious with nice presentation, great ambiance, nice music . Everything was professionally served . I believe it's one of the best restaurants in Montreal.
Highly recommended!
Une très belle découverte!
Le tartare de saumon est excellent, j'aurai pu en prendre un deuxième 🌟 Les frites de patates douces étaient bonnes aussi, la parfaite quantité, tout le monde à apprécie son plat & nous étions un groupe. Notre serveuse était attentive & gentille puis le restaurant dans son ensemble est vraiment chic! Ahhh & le margharita au dragon fruit, j'y pense encore, wow. Bref, je reviendrai & recommande!
A cozy & truly romantic atmosphere, attentive & friendly staff who know the menu perfectly & skillfully help you choose dishes to your taste - all of this reflects a high level of service. I especially want to highlight the lemon dessert: delicate, refined, absolutely exceptional. I will happily recommend this restaurant to my friends - a place you'll want to return to.💝
Vlada was amazing! She was extremely nice, sweet, & helped with anything we needed. The food was also a plus but the entire experience was worthwhile. Definitely recommend!

Vlada provided great service! She was so kind & everything came out so quickly, we definitely felt well attended to at this restaurant. Highly recommend.
Un restaurant à découvrir ! Le service est excellent, le décor tout simplement époustouflant. L'espace est petit, mais l'ambiance chaleureuse & conviviale compense largement. La nourriture est délicieuse, même si certaines saveurs pourraient être un peu plus relevées. Cela dit, l'expérience reste remarquable. Je recommande vivement pour toute occasion, que ce soit en couple, entre amis ou en famille.
Léa & Sebastian sont les best sincèrement! Service, amabilité, aucune attente, bonne ambiance. Franchement, je recommande à 100%.
Je reviens sans hésiter!
From the moment we got in to the moment we checked out, the experience was amazing. Léa took care of explaining to us the menu & answered our questions about gluten-free options. The seabass sashimis were mezmerizing. I will be talking in high regards of this place. Definitely recommand it.
LOVED everything about Makaõ! From the moment you step into this beautiful restaurant to the moment you step out! Awesome decor & ambiance with great attention to detail! Excellent service & delicious food! Highly recommend their crab salad, teriyaki salmon & baklava cheesacake! You won't be disappointed! Thanks to the friendly staff! Will DEFINITELY be back!
