Nikkei MTL shines as a lively fusion spot where Peruvian and Japanese flavors come together in bright, thoughtful presentations and a creative cocktail program, with many guests calling the food inventive and delicious and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. The bar and service are repeatedly praised for attentiveness and personality, making for memorable evenings at the counter or dining tables. While portions and prices draw mixed notes and a few experiences mention slower pacing or occasional missteps, overall guests leave impressed by the quality, the variety of tapas style dishes, and the standout tasting menus that balance bold flavors with freshness.
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 :)
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!

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.
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!
Absolument impeccable. Vraiment tout est bon du début à la fin. Le service, les tapas, les drinks & les desserts sont formidables. Je recommande fortement! 🫶🏼

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.
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 that
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!
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.
