What a wonderful experience! Super flavorful dishes & incredibly attentive & friendly service! Especially Victor behind the sushi counter, who went above & beyond 🥹✨ I'd highly recommend the maracuya pisco which was super tasty & the cocoviche was unique & fantastic!!

J'ai réservé l'expérience découverte pour l'anniversaire à mon mari & ça a été un vrai coup de coeur pour nous deux. Notre serveur Jonatan était parfait, il connaissait très bien son menu, décrivant parfaitement chacun des plats. Les portions étaient très raisonnables pour un menu découverte & chacun des plats tous très exquis. Le menu était composé de 5 plats & d'un dessert (qui ma fois était l'un des meilleurs que j'ai mangé de ma vie je ne vous mens pas!!!). Tous les employés étaient très gentils & accueillants. Honnêtement je n'ai rien de négatif à dire & nous reviendrons assurément. Merci encore à toute l'équipe de Nikkei d'avoir rendu notre expérience aussi unique. Mon mari était heureux & moi aussi. 🙌🏼
La nourriture est une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle. La combinaison de la cuisine japonaise & péruvienne est très unique. C'est un de mes restaurants préférés à Montréal. Un incontournable!
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!

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.
We had an amazing experience at Nikkei. I had my eye on this restaurant for a while because the idea of a Peruvian & Japanese fusion sounded so interesting. We walk in & the decor is gorgeous. We decided on the blind menu, & allowed our waitress to decide for us. From the first bite, we were amazed!! Very interesting flavours! Even the cocktails were unique & their presentations were beautiful. Our waitress Estelle gave us top quality service from the moment we stepped in. She gave us great recommendations & answered all our questions, so she really knew her stuff. We'll be back for sure! Well worth every penny!
A hidden gem in Montreal worth discovering. Beautifully created dishes inspired from Peruvian & Japanese cuisine. Unique dishes, great vibes, friendly service.
I visited this Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant about three weeks ago & tried their "MTL à Table" discovery menu. The food was excellent-beautifully presented & full of flavor-but it is definitely on the pricier side compared to similar restaurants in Montreal offering comparable dishes. While I'd recommend it to friends for the unique fusion experience & quality of the food, I'm unsure if I'd return myself, considering the cost. It's worth a visit if you're looking to try something special & don't mind the splurge!
Une ambiance unique, un personnel chaleureux & de très bon cocktail. Une fusion intéressante entre la cuisine japonaise & péruvienne. Cependant, la majorité des plats sont composés avec des piments très relevés.
Very good restaurant the mix of Peruvian & Japanese is a nice discovery. The cocktails were also very good & unique & we had an amazing service. Thanks you!
