Quelle superbe découverte sur Laurier Ouest. L'expérience culinaire était tout simplement exceptionnelle du début à la fin.
La fraîcheur du poisson dans les sashimis était remarquable, chaque bouchée fondait littéralement en bouche. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la finesse des présentations & la qualité irréprochable des produits servis.
Le cadre est élégant & très agréable. Mention spéciale pour le crabe frit, servi avec une touche de citron, qui était préparé à la perfection. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
My husband & I stopped in at Mikado last Saturday after a long afternoon of wandering around Old Montreal, & we were so glad we did. The sushi was incredibly fresh, especially the salmon sashimi which practically melted in your mouth. Our server was warm & attentive without being pushy, which we really appreciated after a tiring day on our feet. We will absolutely be coming back next time we visit the city.
À la première bouchée de sashimi on comprend directement ce qu'on dans l'assiette ... restaurant vraiment à la hauteur de sa réputation tant dans la nourriture que dans son côté chic!

We went to Mikado a couple of days ago, & unfortunately I am not convinced.
The sushis were great, but not wow & not justifying their price. Fish was good, but not extraordinary, we've been to better sushis places for cheaper prices. 17$ for 6 sushis … it was a first for me. 6$ for what was supposed to be a tofu nigiri/sashimi turned to be 2 tofu pockets you can buy at the grocery store. Everything was not that expensive & we had other good options. I don't mind paying more if the quality justifies it & it was not the case.
However, the service was impeccable! Everyone was paying attention to our drinks, empty plates, etc. It was definitely a highlight for the night. The ambiance was very nice too & we were able to talk without hearing the other tables.

Mikado has always been one of my absolute favorite sushi spots - & this visit reminded me exactly why.
We started with miso soup, soft?shell crab, & a fresh salad, followed by two beautifully presented sashimi platters & two nigiri ones. Every piece of fish was pristine & cut with care - delicate, clean, & perfectly balanced. The lobster roll & paradise roll were equally impressive, marrying flavor & texture in a way that only Mikado manages to pull off.
The sake selection is phenomenal, & the mixologists truly take their craft to the next level. Add to that a team that's endlessly knowledgeable, kind, & welcoming, & you've got an experience that feels both refined & personal.
It's the perfect example of sushi done right - thoughtful, consistent, & made with genuine passion. Highly recommended.
Great selection of sashimi & well worth the price. Sushis themselves were pretty good but not out of this world. The ambience was nice & the service was exquisite.
Everything was remarkable, from the dishes to the drinks. I particularly loved the raw scallops, & the sushi & sashimi were outstanding. Although I'm usually not a big fan of vegetarian sushi, the one served here was exceptional. The sake, Masumi, was also delicious, boasting a dry & fruity flavour.
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.
Expérience incroyable ! Poissons de très bonne qualité & fondent sur la langue je recommande les assortiments de nigiris & de sashimis ! Les cocktails sont excellents & le Bartender/Mixologue est vraiment très agréable, professionnel & passionné ! L'accueil par le gérant, la serveuse & les serveurs a été parfait tout au long du dîner. MERCI & foncez à MIKADO !
Je recommande vivement ! Les produits sont excellents & parfaitement mis en valeur que ce soit en cuisine ou au bar. J'y retournerai avec plaisir & recommande les assortiments de nigiri & sashimi ainsi que le cocktail Wasabini
