About

Nama Omakase focuses on the precision of Japanese culinary arts through a curated sequence of seasonal sushi preparations. The kitchen emphasizes the raw quality of maritime ingredients by utilizing traditional slicing techniques that highlight natural textures. Each presentation follows a deliberate flow, balancing vinegared rice with fresh seafood to ensure consistent flavor profiles across every portion. Creative compositions incorporate subtle seasonings that respect the original integrity of the fish without excessive masking. The environment centers on an open preparation counter that allows for clear observation of the technical skills required for authentic nigiri assembly. This establishment prioritizes the direct relationship between prepared portions and the raw material provided by global coastal sources. The result is a methodical approach to seafood consumption that adheres strictly to established minimalist traditions.

Review Summary

Nama Omakase offers a sophisticated and intimate dining experience that many guests describe as a highlight of Montreal's culinary scene. Most diners praise the high quality of the fresh fish, the creative French-Japanese fusion dishes, and the meticulous presentation, with many highlighting the eggplant katsu and tartares as standout items. While the majority of visitors rave about the warm, professional service and the engaging interaction with the chefs at the counter, a few guests noted inconsistencies regarding portion sizes, pacing, or specific service lapses during busier times. The ambiance is generally viewed as elegant and well-suited for special occasions, though opinions on the music volume and price-to-value ratio vary among patrons. Despite these occasional mixed reviews, many guests consider the restaurant a memorable destination that earns strong recommendations for its passion and craftsmanship.

We tried the chef course which costs $200 per person before tax & tips.
The amount was not enough.

The dining experience goes way beyond the usual - elevated, creative & seriously delicious. The 60 hour braised Galbi Ribeye? Unreal. Rich, tender a flavour combo thats next level.. The rest of the menu holds up too, delicate tatakis, crispy eggplant katsu - you name it. I've been there for a couple of different occasions & each time felt special in its own way. The ambiance, service & food consistently exceeded expectations. One of a kind -truly a gem..

Drinks easily some of the best cocktails I've had in the city in a while A+++

We ordered a few of the mains . My fav was between the beef or miso Cod.

Both A+

Also got the 20 piece sashimi & I don't know where they get their salmon & tuna from but they melted in mouth like butter

We got 3 sides & all of them were top notch but beef tartare was my personal favorite.

Coming back soon

Nama Omakase was such a great experience from start to finish.
The food was absolutely delicious - beautifully prepared, incredibly fresh, & full of flavour. The drinks were just as good: well balanced, tasty, & not overly sweet, which I really appreciated.
The service was phenomenal. Everyone was attentive, knowledgeable, & genuinely welcoming, & the pacing of the evening felt perfect.
The space itself is stunning - gorgeous, moody, & intimate, with a really nice atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special.
Overall, everything just came together so well. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in Montreal, & I'd happily go back.
