Nikkei is a must try when you are in Montreal. A creative fusion of Peruvian & Japanese cuisine turned out to be the perfect marriage. Our group of 7 decided to order 3 tasting menus that contained 6 dishes of the chef's selection & the chef hit on every single dish. Not only was it an incredible bargain at $63 CAD per person, the meal was also the best we had during our visit. The filet skewers (Yakiton de Res) were perfectly cooked, the mushroom ceviche proved to be the most interesting & pleasant surprise. The Chirashi Cevichado had the most luscious & thick yellowtail, tuna & salmon sashimi slices over a bed of sushi rice & an outstanding leech de Tigre (Tiger's Milk) marinade. We fought over the last piece of unagi & the pork hamburguesitas were so juicy & fun to eat. Another super creative & unsuspecting favorite was the Pinku Bitsu, thinly sliced beets in an incredible pickled green onion vinaigrette. The Lomito Saltado, which was the closest thing to a main course, delivered a spectacular combination of meat & potatoes with an asian flair that I will not soon forget.
The cocktails were also superb! We indulged on the Koraku, Yamaji, Tokyo Sour, Nikkeroni (their take on the Negroni) & the Ginger Maracuya Sour. Each was more creative & tastier than the next. The dessert, a salted caramel with a torched marshmallow on top was the perfect way to complete the meal. Chloe took wonderful care of us while we watched the foot traffic go by in the quaint neighborhood not far from down town. As stated from the outset, Nikkei is a must when you are here!
J'ai adoré mon expérience, comme d'habitude. Un lundi soir plus tranquille pour prendre un verre avec une amie. Le barman Sammy était dans le jus lol (moins de personnel sur le plancher) mais a pris le temps de nous jaser entre deux cocktails! Ceux-ci sont toujours intéressants & nous avons apprécié notre soirée.
Superbe expérience culinaire, endroit chaleureux, que dire de notre serveur au bar, superbe service, sociable, & super sympathique.. Nous y sommes allés samedi le 7 juin 2025 en soirée. C'est un excellent resto à découvrir sur la rue Laurier dans le Plateau Mt-Royal..
Un gros merci au personnel…

😀👍🏼🥰
They sat us at the end of the bar which was a little underwhelming, but it only lasted a few seconds until we met Jeremy, the charming barman. We started with two Pisco sours wich were almost as good as Gabriel's mom. The food came, it was great. We got the chance to taste a shot of mezcal, home syrup & cacao & another one of the fabulous shiso infused tequila with Thai basil & grapefruit. We'll definitely go back.

Une délicieuse soirée à laquelle le service, le repas & l'ambiance ont contribué.
Nous avons adoré le plat avec l'anguille grillée🤌 (commandé 2 fois), la betterave, le tartare de thon (rafraîchissant & savoureux !)🫰. La sauce du plat avec les pétoncles nous a moins plus en revanche.
Pico sour délicieux 👌
💥 accueil & service excellent en étant assis au bar en face de Chany & Louis.
Une experience inoubliable . Jeremy est un incroyable mixologue . Chami & louis sont les meilleurs bartenders de la galaxie. La dermiere fois que j'ai vecu une telle experience c'etait au Japon.
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.

On Saturday evening, we celebrated a friend's birthday & had a lovely time. The restaurant was beautiful, with a warm & pleasant atmosphere.
A big thank you to Jérémie for the thoughtful gesture toward our group on the occasion of my friend's birthday , it was truly appreciated. & a special thank you to Chami the bartender, who was exceptional: welcoming, smiling, courteous, & incredibly kind.
Thank you both for making our evening even more special!
Bravo! Everything was special. If you want to try something different & delicious, this is it. We sat at the kitchen bar; Seb & Ben were great cooks/hosts. Merci!
