This was fantastic. However, it was not a cheap experience. The fish was so fresh, & the octopus was very tender. The servers were friendly & accommodating. At one point, I went to pour a bit more wine for us, & the server came over & said. " Allow me, I'll do my job, you enjoy your meal."it was said very playful & felt attended to. There was a nice variety of fish & seafood to be enjoyed. Best sushi 🍣 I have ever had. The only negative other than the price, it was so crowed the place is. The table next to us was so close that I felt like I was having dinner with them aswel. The staff having to walk sideways between tables puts them too close to me. Overall, it was a nice night with great food.I Ps I thought putting the Louis the 13th on the dessert menu was tacky. ($175/ .5 OZ) If I wanted liquor that expensive, I would order it off the drink menu.
So "Somebody feed Phil" introduced us to this restaurant & Chef Antonio Park. You read about the guy, & you just admire the man. My wife booked the lunch for us & the restaurant is in a very nice neighbourhood of Westmount in Montreal. We were greeted by a lovely host (I think her name was Faye) originally from Dorset, Uk; who welcomed us like old friends. (She also greeted a lot of regulars that came in after us - so she is definitely skilled at her role!) She recommended us to actually go for the Park specials, but double up on the nigiris, so we get the variety. Good call! Some people don't get the fuss about sushi. The skill is not just fresh fish, the knife skills, or the right marinated rice, the temperature, the presentation, but the whole ensemble. Chef Park also introduced the idea of his Argentinian flavours in the dips & the fusion tastes of the west & the Japanese in some sauces that were brushed on the nigiri. The presentation is immaculate & it is an experience to have some top rated sushi. We were very lucky to find him at the restaurant on our visit. He was happy to have a chat. If you are a sushi lover in Montreal, you definitely should try it out.

I visited here twice last month. The first time the chirashi was amazing. It came with 6-7 different fish & very nicely garnished with cavier & chimichurri. I just loved it. & at the second visit I ordered again the chirashi sushi. It was unfortunately very different & boring chirashi plate. I got just 4 different fish & no garnish like last time. But I really liked my first chirashi there. & the server(lady) seemed very stressed all the time.. She cleaned the small water drops on the table with the wet dishrag even while we were still eating.. & when we were paying by card, she just left the paying maschine on the table & disappeared 😅 At the first visit the tallest guy was very friendly & careful all the moments.
Nigiri were okay but some maki in the bento tasted & smelled like OLD fish. Japchae noodles were just well cooked even little amount, but no taste, only soy sauce, weigh TOO SALTY. Bibimbap rice were cooked with healthy grain like quinoa or brown rice, but as little amount as noodles in Japchae, after mixed with vegetable, (which are the SAME VEGETABLES USED IN JAPCHAE) - couldn't see them any more. & NO GOCHUJANG SAUCE FOR BIBIMBAP Did they forget Paid $90 Too overpriced. Maybe my expectations were too high? Should have ordered Japchae & Bibimbap from other Korean restaurants. Hope don't get sick from eating smelled like old fish.
I had the Premium Sushi platter - the quality of all the sashimi was great. However, I wish it was brought out in stages so that the Nigiri rice stayed warm & the fish less dry from being served all at once. The set was priced per person but it ended up being so much for one person! (The edamame was lots also for one person). I found myself forcing to finish it.
Insane. I have no words. The food was absolutely flawless, as was the service. The fish was fresh & flavorful. The supreme tasting menu was a decent portion. Absolutely no complaints.
Top tier dining experience in Montreal. Went there for a special family occasion & we could not have been happier. Had the sushi platters, there was plenty of food for everyone. Recommend shelling out for the premium platters as you will get Otoro tuna & it is worth it! Everything was fresh, refined & tasty. Service was excellent & our waitress took the time to walk us through every single type of fish, maki & nigiri. Definitely on the pricier side but worth it to experience tastes you won't find anywhere else in the city.
I remember having an Omakase there, 7 course for two people. The quality of fish & presentation wasn't what I expected an Omakase to be as it was hidden in the back kitchen. As I remembered good Omakase's were made right in front of you with high quality presentation. It costs around 500$ for two people including the tips I've given the waiter. I really wished the tuna tasted different, the presentation would turn out differently as well. I was quite disappointed but enjoyed the mood the people there gave. I hope they take this into consideration.
honestly the best sushi/fish i never had. Server was very sweet & the ambiance is chic but also accessible!
the quality of the food was amazing. we took the plate for one with around 30 pcs, soup miso & endamame + tartare on the side + wine bottle & we were totally full at the end! can’t wait to go back, thank you for the experience 😊
