Le Nikkei nous a fait vivre une expérience unique. Du Pérou au Japon, nous avons navigué sur un océan de saveurs exquises. Chaque plat sait faire découvrir à notre palais des goûts inédits & mémorables. Les cocktails de Chami ont permis de sublimer notre belle tablée. Mais ce voyage gustatif n'aurait su prendre forme sans le travail exceptionnel d'Estelle. Sa bonne humeur & son efficacité ont agrémenté avec brio notre expérience. Merci à toi, merci à vous le Nikkei.

Nikkei MTL in Montreal's Plateau Mont-Royal is a delightful surprise for the culinary adventurer. During my visit, the cocktails immediately stood out for their innovative blends & stunning presentation, revealing a fearless creativity in mixology that's as rare as it is delightful. But the true star of the show is the food; Nikkei MTL's fusion of Japanese precision & Peruvian flair is executed to perfection. The quality of the fish is unparalleled, making each dish a taste of the extraordinary. This was my first encounter with such a fusion, & it was nothing short of revelatory, setting Nikkei MTL apart from more traditional dining experiences. The ambiance of the restaurant complements the exceptional dining experience. It's inviting & pleasantly atmospheric, striking the perfect balance between sophistication & comfort. Furthermore, the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality on offer, ensuring that guests can indulge in this unique culinary journey without reserve. A significant part of what makes Nikkei MTL so special, however, is the people. The waitstaff & bartenders exude friendliness & professionalism, contributing significantly to the overall experience with their attentive & knowledgeable service. In essence, Nikkei MTL is not just a meal; it's an exploration of culinary artistry, blending the best of Japanese & Peruvian cuisines in a setting that's as welcoming as it is innovative. It's a must-visit for those in Montreal seeking a dining experience that dares to be different, yet achieves perfection in its daring.

Notre expérience au Nikkei a été absolument exceptionnelle! Nous étions un groupe de 6 amis & avons prit le menu découverte & tout était si frais & délicieux. Tout était à partager & chaque plat était unique. Les cocktails étaient supers bons & trop beaux. & quoi dire du service: excellent! On s'est sentis tellement bien accueilli par leur gentillesse & leur générosité (shots pisco sour on the house). Je recommande fortement ce restaurant ☺️

A great spot for an interesting night out! Cool vibe, very pleasant & efficient staff, really interesting cocktails (& mocktails!), & unique tapas style plates. Some of the plates were almost too big to be called tapas, but that's not a complaint. The ceviche was a real highlight for everyone at our table. Definitely one to try!

Un des meilleurs repas que nous avons mangé. Le tartare de filet mignon, en particulier, est à faire rêver! Vraiment une nourriture unique & excellente, & des cocktails imaginatifs, pas donnés mais qui valent leur prix.

Deux petits bémols:
- service un peu rapide, il est donc préférable de ne pas commander tous les plats au même moment si on veut faire durer le plaisir.
- nous avons une petite "crotte sur le coeur" de se faire imposer un minimum de 18% de pourboire par le système de paiement; le service était bien, mais pour une facture de 400$ pour trois personnes avec la moitié en alcool, l'option de 15% (qui est tout de même 18% compte tenu du calcul par dessus les taxes!) est déjà un bon pourboire. On ne manque pas de sensibilité envers les serveurs & les travailleurs en restauration (on en fait partie!); il faut simplement être sensible à la réalité des gens si vous voulez qu'ils reviennent sans sentir de malaise.

L'ambiance est un peu trop bruyante. Les plats sont bien mais on mange uniquement de la viande pas de légumes. Les serveurs sont très sympathiques mais il y a eu des erreurs dans nos commandes
