Food: I would definitely recommend the sashimi assortment & toro, everything tasted so fresh & had a great texture. The sushi rolls are quite unique, twists on the classics, & it was very enjoyable to taste.
The desserts deserve their own highlight, the deconstructed apple pie was so refreshing & the cherry pie is absolutely irresistible. I loved the mix of flavours & textures, & they might be one of my favourite desserts in Montreal.
Service: Our waiter was amazing, he was incredibly nice & patient with our questions, also very friendly. He recommended that we try custom cocktails from the bartender, who can make a drink based on your preferences, & all of them were perfectly on point, & they were delicious.
Atmosphere: Really great vibes for a night out with friends or date night. I cannot recommend it enough.
L'endroit est magnifique mais un peu déçu par le service. Nous avions pris le menu mtl à table, une bouteille de vin & deux autres entrées en plus mais on nous avait même pas proposé le dessert du menu mtl à table. Donc nous avions payé plein prix sans y avoir eu le droit. Sinon mention spécial aux brochettes yakitori qui étaient délicieuses.
(Visite du 7 octobre) La qualité du poisson & de la nourriture en général était à tomber par terre ! Les cocktails également. Cette expérience culinaire incroyable a d'autant plus été sublimée par le service incroyable & chaleureux de notre serveuse aux petits soins qui a su nous donner de très bonnes recommandation avec une énergie pétillante. Encore un gros merci à l'équipe qui a offert le dessert pour la fête de mon chum, je voulais une soirée inoubliable pour l'occasion & ça n'a pas raté ! Merci encore
Great service. Last time I was at Mikado was back in the 1980's & it was located across the street. It is still owned by the same family & now run by the 2 sons. We were delighted to be treated very well & dessert was on the house. Very good sushi/sashimi & excellent wine list.
I really didn't know what to expect. Japanese cuisine can be really hit & miss depending on where you go, & always pricey. Mikado was more than just a dinner out at a restaurant. For me, it was a fulfilling culinary experience. The menu was expertly written & had a lot of variety. Our server was able to discern our tastes & made thoughtful recommendations for us. Wine & drinks paired with courses that were both dazzling to the eye & mouth. We ate so much, & even though I was full, I kept wanting to order more! We finished the night off with our party ordering each of the desserts on the menu & sharing. We paired it with some tantalizing dessert sake, oooh lala! Seriously, epic experience! They hit everything out of the park for me. Food, service, & atmosphere are top-notch at Mikado!
C'était bien dans l'ensemble. Un peu cher pour le niveau de gastronomie je dirais. C'était bien mais sans plus. Le restaurant est beau (sauf les assiettes & les baguettes en bois) & le service est bien malgré les quelques erreurs sur nos factures. Une mention spéciale au dessert crème brulée aux pommes qui m'a fait rajouter 1 étoile de plus ;)
Amazing. The new look inside is elevated but relaxing with a speak easy vibe bar & outstanding food. Favourites were the Cod on soba noodles, lobster roll & shrimp gyoza. Service was extremely attentive, friendly & every dish was explained in detail. Delicious veggie options - there's something here for everyone. Extensive cocktail & tea menu with decadent dessert. Will definitely be coming back here!
