Had a great dinner on a pretty busy Tuesday night. Chami, our bartender was great & really fun to chat with. The food was well presented, with good ingredients & flavors. As reviews indicated the place is not cheap, but portions are honestly generous so don't over order like we did :)
Will be back to try more items, drinks & dessertsView more

Aji-amarillo leche des tigres on their dish just made your taste buds pop. What a beautiful plating & fusion of Peruvian & Japanese cuisine. All small dishes, nice & relaxed with an open kitchen where you can sit & watch all their wonderful work.
Each mouthful is better than the last with flavours,, textures, colours all come together to say wow!
Youthful or old you will find the best ceviche & great service.
I dont drink but they have a big beautiful bar where you see great drinks coming out with decorations you see in a tropical paradise.
In a day where all restaurants are expensive & all do the same thing & leave you feeling dissatisfied, this place is such a wonderful point of contrast & excellence. You have to try it & you will enjoy it.
I would be happy to pay twice the price for the quality of food, service & enjoyment that I got that evening!
Bon appetite!View more

Stopped in for a quick drink on the patio on a Wednesday evening. Within 5 minutes, we ordered a couple cocktails. After 15 minutes, the waitress came & apologized for the wait. After waiting another 15 minutes, we gave up & left. Disappointing.View more

The word that describes it: incredible! We loved the experience, the food was perfectly balanced, you could feel the explosion of flavors in your mouth, the service was too good, the drinks incredible, unique cocktails & if you are like me & cannot tolerate the exaggerated amounts of sugar they use in Canada for desserts, I promise you will not regret it. Their desserts were perfectly balanced, I loved them! Unfortunately, I don't have many photos of the dishes since I was so focused on eating that I forgot!View more

Wow! We were impressed from start to finish. From the cool aesthetics of the place, to the perfect service, to the AMAZING food. Truly unique one-of-a-kind flavours, it's a 10/10 for the 5 tapas we tried. A must-try concept. Oh & the drinks are all in-house handcrafted mixology drinks. Don't miss their Pisco. Can't wait to be back, & to try their other affiliated restaurants, like the Barranco.View more

Fantastic drinks & atmosphere. The food is good if a bit on the expensive side. But one item of the menu blew me away. The wagyu nigiri is absolutely delicious & would go just to eat thatView more

This is one of my favorite place in Montreal. The fusion of japanese & peruvian is the most geniuses idea. The flavors go well all together. & Nikkei is portraying perfectly that! The place is cute & the menu is incredible! Their drinks too!View more

I've been meaning to write this review for about a month now & haven't gotten around to it, but I have nothing but lovely things to say. We went in for one Nikkeironi & ended up staying because Chami was such a lovely & personable barman ! They really made the experience so much better & more welcoming. What was meant to be one drink turned into two or three & one of the most memorable experiences I've had in a bar in a long while.View more

My friends & I wanted to try a new tapas place & saw this one had some good ratings. I must say price is Very HIGH for what it is & the food isn't that good. It's quite salty & some weird mix that needs to be worked on. I liked maybe 2 out of the 8 dishes & I am someone who likes pretty much everything in food. Drinks were fine, they tasted quite good & service was very good. Our waitress was great, attentive & nice. The atmosphere & ambiance were great too, good lighting, very clean, & nice decorations.View more

The moment you walk in, you're captivated by the beauty of the place. We went for MTL Table & all the meals were great. Estelle served us amazingly giving us details about the drinks & the meals enriching the whole experience. Would absolutely recommend & go again!View more

This restaurant was a great surprise! With a Japanese-Peruvian fusion speciality dishes, you can taste different flavors from tiradito & ceviche to curry. The drinks were also very good & the ambiance was perfect. The restaurant is a bit pricey, but the quality of the food compensate! Update: I just tried the special menu Mtl à table & it was delicious!View more

Services, repas & drinks impeccables! Merci Ambre & ChamiView more

The food was ok, but nothing to make an impression or recommend/come back. The meat skewers were super salty, barely could feel another flavor. Drinks also took quite a while, & there was a huge delay between dishes to the point we thought they didn't put the order in. the restaurant it's quite pretentious, which wouldn't be bad on itself, but definitely do not recommend at this price tag. there are many restaurants with far better food & drinks, & even for less than half the priceView more

Very good place. The food & drinks were Amazing. The service was nice. Maybe a bit fast, we haven't finished the drink that they already wanted to remove our glasses or they removed the plate with a few potatoes left when we maybe we kept them for a bit later. But overall the experience was great. The Place is also friendly & Nice, well decorated. I just found the music a bit too loudView more
