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.
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.
This place is exceptional, I was impressed by the warm welcome from the entrance while glazing the sushi bar 👌🏽. After settling , i had unlimited shushi & great varieties of culinary infusions. Music was great , Ambience was in the mood , giving House vibe with mushi sushi paired with french white wine. Same music played everywhere even in the Restroom 😍
Must try if you are looking for an outstanding Omakase experience. The chef takes their time to explain where each ingredient is sourced from, the waiters are experienced & the atmosphere is elegant. The wagyu taste is a must try if you enjoy an explosion of flavor & texture!
Excellent mais aussi très cher: 430$ pour deux (sans le menu dégustation & sans bouteille vin). C'est plus que dispendieux. Les cocktails étaient savoureux & les vins proposés délicieux. Vous vous régalerez c'est certain car les ingrédients sont frais & de qualité. On habite à deux pas & nous aurions été des clients réguliers mais à ce prix, nous n'y retournerons pas. Le service est excellent mais ne justifie pas que le terminal de paiement débute à 18% pour le pourboire. Est-ce la norme maintenant?

On hésitait entre le menu à la carte & le omakase. On y est allé avec le omakase & on ne regrette pas. Le service était impeccable du début à la fin. Confortablement assises au comptoir nous avons vu défiler les 14 services un à un. Chacun des plats était différent & venait faire voyager nos papilles gustatives. Les nigiris étaient fraîchement préparés par le Chef GaCong. Ce fut une très belle expérience!! Ça sera à répéter!
I went twice. Both for the dining menu (not omakase). Second time last week was better than the first. Food is VERY expensive. At that price point, the experience needs improvement. I found the nigiri underwhelming as cuts are too small. Appetizers are good as are the maki. Service felt robotic. Ambiance is a bit cold.

This place is exceptionnal from the atmosphere, food & perfectly taylored service. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you can feel that the atmosphere is really cozy. For the food, the sashimi & nigiri (with fish outsourced from japan) are a must. There was no choice of fish that seemed out of place & they all work in harmony with the freshness that is just on par! For the entree, the brussel sprouts & eggplant katsu are unique & provide a complex but yet easy to appreciate taste. To add to the french gastronomy part, we had the duck & apricot & it was amazing. The meat was cooked to perfection & ressemble to the taste of a well prepared steak. For the service, our waiter was always with us to make sure that it all went well & gave great recommendations as well! This place is a must in the restaurant scenery of montreal for everything that is mentionned aboved & if you seek a new type of experience where a japanese omakase is paired with french gastronomy, this IS the place.
Belle expérience omakase. La qualité de nourriture, le service, l'ambiance, le mélange des saveurs étaient à la perfection. La fraîcheur des poissons & grains de riz m'ont ramené au Japon. Un restaurant à découvrir & aussi pour célèbrer de belles occasions.
Every dish were GORGEOUSLY presented & the sauces for each dish were equally as DELICIOUS! The waiters were very amicable & made the whole dining experience a very pleasant one! Would definitely return & highly recommend to visit!!
