Review Summary

Motto HandRoll Bar offers a unique and intimate dining experience that consistently impresses visitors with its high-quality, fresh ingredients and expertly prepared handrolls. The restaurant features a stylish, speakeasy-inspired atmosphere where guests can watch chefs craft sushi right in front of them, creating an engaging and immersive environment. While the service is frequently described as attentive, friendly, and professional, some diners noted the fast-paced nature of the seating policy and modest portion sizes. Overall, the combination of delicious crudo dishes, creative cocktails, and a vibrant, modern setting makes it a highly regarded destination for dates and social gatherings in Montreal.

Really good vibe, beautiful space & fun atmosphere. It's a new spot so give them some grace but this place will do really well. Very fair prices for cocktails & food considering the quality. Service was a little slow for drinks but picked up once we were seated. Will definitely be back

Motto Hand Roll

Motto Hand Roll is that spot. The whole experience hits every sense - the high-end diffuser scent when you walk in, the stunning bar-style setup, the textures & flavours that are honestly next level, & décor that feels sleek & sexy. The hospitality ties it all together in such an effortless way.

It's the ideal place for a date night or a business dinner when you want to impress. Elevated, intimate, & unforgettable.

Would 10/10 recommend. Already planning my next visit.

Such an incredible dining experience! Motto truly lives up to the hype. The space is beautiful, with an atmosphere that feels both comfortable & effortlessly elegant. Every member of the staff is attentive & genuinely welcoming.

The chefs are extraordinary, each dish shows an impressive level of care & craftsmanship. The tuna is exceptional, & everything tastes incredibly fresh.

The cocktails are also phenomenal & pair perfectly with the menu.

I highly recommend Motto for a date night or any occasion when you want a truly memorable evening. An easy 10/10!

It's like discovering a hidden gem! This intimate sushi bar is cozy & the food is exquisite & the staff are lovely. We went on a Sunday night to have a better chance of being seated right away, although there are velvet covered benches along the window where you can be served a cocktail while you wait. I recommend sharing a few crudos plates & maybe an Asian salad. The handrolls are so yummy & crispy on the outside. I had 4 of them! It is not the place to hang out all evening as seating is 1 to 1.5 hours, just like such places in Japan. Oh, & the sake cups are really cool.

I walked by here a few times & made a mental note a few times, but never went in. By coincidence, I decided to make a visit today & wished I went in the first time.

Pleasant entrance greeted by the staff to ease you into the experience de maison. A quick intro into the surface of what's to come, Motto specialized in Japanese handroll with an unique Montreal twist that's surely to be remembered.

Try the uminosachi that Québec & the northern hemisphere provides. Watch for the apparence of the tender sweetness that is brought forth by the mild shari that only exists from fish that thrives in older climate. There was one that I especially was wowed by, try guessing which one that was.

Establishment provides a great & correct entry into very accessible Japanese experience.
