MATCHA ZANMAI se concentre sur l'utilisation de thé vert de qualité cérémonielle intégré dans une variété de desserts spécialisés. La carte propose des crèmes glacées onctueuses, des parfaits en couches et des crêpes délicates qui mettent en valeur le profil terreux distinct de la poudre de matcha de qualité supérieure. Les clients choisissent parmi divers niveaux d'intensité de thé, permettant une expérience culinaire personnalisée centrée sur les profils de saveurs traditionnels japonais. Au-delà des offres au matcha, l'établissement propose une sélection de douceurs complémentaires conçues pour équilibrer l'amertume naturelle du thé avec une sucrosité raffinée. L'esthétique intérieure minimaliste sert de toile de fond fonctionnelle à la présentation vert vif de chaque assiette de dessert. Chaque article est préparé à la commande en utilisant des ingrédients authentiques pour maintenir l'intégrité constante des saveurs dans toutes les catégories de desserts proposées.
Matcha Zanmai est largement reconnu comme une destination de choix pour le matcha de haute qualité à Montréal, recevant des éloges pour ses profils de saveurs authentiques, riches et terreuses, sans être trop sucrés. Les visiteurs recommandent fréquemment leur glace molle signature au matcha, leurs parfaits variés ainsi que leur vaste sélection de lattés et de pâtisseries, notant souvent que l'expérience rivalise avec celles vécues au Japon. Bien que l'établissement soit souvent décrit comme étant petit et parfois achalandé, la plupart des clients trouvent que le service amical et professionnel ainsi que la qualité supérieure des ingrédients justifient largement la visite, en faisant un lieu incontournable tant pour les amateurs de matcha de longue date que pour les curieux.
I am never disappointed when I come here. My favourites are the yuzu cheesecake & matcha soft serve & now I'll be adding the yuzu matcha latte to that list! So good.
I really loved the matcha desserts at Matcha Zanmai! Every treat I tried (I ordered six!) was full of rich, authentic matcha flavor & just the right amount of sweetness. The desserts looked beautiful & tasted fresh soft & light without being too heavy or overly sweet.
Even though I ordered quite a bit, the service was surprisingly quick, which I really appreciated. The staff seemed to know their stuff & handled the busy vibe well. They were polite, though it was a bit hectic in there.
One thing to keep in mind is that seating is pretty limited, so it can get crowded during busy times. If you want a quieter experience, try to go during off-peak hours.
Overall, if you're a matcha fan like me, Matcha Zanmai is definitely worth a visit. Great desserts, good service, & a cozy little spot. I'll be back for sure!

I recently tried their matcha & matcha ice cream, & I must say-both were absolutely delightful! The matcha had a rich, authentic flavor that really stood out, & the ice cream was smooth, creamy, & perfectly balanced-not too sweet, just right. I also gave their strawberry matcha a try. While it wasn't quite as impressive as the others, it was still enjoyable & had a refreshing twist. Overall, a great experience for matcha lovers!
To all Matcha lovers this is a must visit when in Montreal. The employee that helped us was so welcoming & kind - she walked us through the entire menu☺? If'fast casual matcha' was a category, this place would fall within it
Koko & Orlando made our day. Super polite & humble but most importantly they suggested us some good stuff. Really happy to experience authentic Matcha Icecream. If you're a genuine lover, don't get the vanilla one & just get pure matcha to get authentic taste. 🍵
What a gem!! I'm always on the hunt for a great matcha spot, so I was super excited when a Montreal local recommended this delightful Chinatown shop! The shop itself looks rather unassuming - tucked away in a little side alley with space for only a few small tables - but looks can absolutely be deceiving. They have a variety of great matcha dishes, ranging from classic ceremonial matcha to creative matcha lattes to some of the best matcha ice cream I've had in North America. It had been a pretty hot day (quite rare for Montreal in May), so I was craving something cold & sweet...the perfect mood to try out their matcha soft serve. They offer a variety of toppings, including matcha cake, mochi, red bean, & soybean powder; however, if you're as indecisive as I am, you can try them all with the Zanmai Signature.
The ice cream was phenomenal - it was rich, creamy, & not overly sweet. You can absolutely taste the earthy, slightly bitter, slightly floral matcha, balanced out by just enough sugar. The toppings also helped make the parfait more interesting, with various pops of flavor & texture; you do have to eat the mochi pretty quickly, though, as the cold ice cream tends to make the mochi harden up & become less chewy or fun to eat.
All in all, I was super impressed by this spot! The staff was friendly, the ice cream was outstanding, & the space was nice & cozy. I can't wait to come back & sample some of their drinks!
