Park fusionne habilement les techniques culinaires japonaises traditionnelles avec des influences sud-américaines marquées pour concevoir une expérience gastronomique singulière. Le menu se concentre sur des produits de la mer rigoureusement sélectionnés, mettant en avant des préparations crues telles que les sashimis et des créations de sushis complexes qui privilégient la fraîcheur saisonnière avant tout. Des profils de saveurs robustes émergent grâce à l'application réfléchie d'agrumes, d'herbes et d'assaisonnements uniques qui définissent le style emblématique de la cuisine. Le design intérieur épuré favorise une atmosphère concentrée où la complexité des ingrédients demeure l'attrait principal pour la clientèle. Des praticiens expérimentés exécutent un travail de découpe précis pour garantir que chaque assiette maintienne une qualité constante et une intégrité structurelle exemplaire. Cet établissement propose une approche raffinée de la cuisine fusion contemporaine en équilibrant les textures classiques avec des présentations audacieuses qui redéfinissent les traditions culinaires nippones.

Bien que les prix reflètent la qualité supérieure et le raffinement des plats, la majorité des clients estiment que la finesse culinaire et l'expérience mémorable valent amplement l'investissement.
The food is okay. The beef rib is very tender but it has this bloody taste. Maybe the beef is not clear well. The sashimi is not consistent, some were fishy tasting & some were good. The maki are not special. The dessert is good but need changes to make it better.
The service is okay , the staffs are nice but they need to work better as a team since mid order he left us to serve another table.
Mediocre at best with both service & food. Not worth the wait for weeks for a reservation. If you offer a protein on the menu & order it medium rare it should NOT be presented medium. We never saw or heard back from sever to see how we were enjoying meal until the end of the meal. Then offering a free dessert (which we declined) for the poor meal with no real apology shows little respect for their guests.
This is what they call uni from New Brunswick? I ordered for delivery & this is what I get… so disappointed… A friend referred me to this restaurant'best sushi in montreal' More like bad sushi in montreal…What a shame.
Had an amazing diner with my daughter yesterday. Was seated at the sushi bar & had the chance to chat with Antonio. Best quality fish in Montreal if you ask me. Bluefin Toro omg 😋
Thank you Antonio for the extra touch, truly appreciated

I've been to Park many times over the years, but after last night's birthday dinner, I won't be returning. The experience was disappointing from start to finish. I had a crappy birthday. Kind've turned me off of fine dining in general.
First, the reservation process:
Because we were a party of ten, I wasn't allowed to book by phone. Instead, I had to email someone, wait for a reply, then fill out a clunky, poorly formatted form that I had to print & write on by hand, scan, & send back. This is absurd in 2025-especially for a restaurant of this calibre.
Then, the'private room':
I was told we'd have a private room, which sounded promising. Instead, we were seated in Café Bazin, the restaurant's next-door café. Not a Japanese dining room. A French café, with loaves of bread sitting out on the counter that my party members had to stare at while we ate; not the atmosphere one is looking for when they book upscale Japanese restaurant-it felt absurd, improvised. & the room's humidity made us feel like were eating in a greenhouse. The table was sticky. The lights also flickered every 40 minutes, & the temperature was easily above 22.5°C. So much for atmosphere.
Then, the maitre d':
The maitre d' seemed disengaged & inattentive, did not greet us with grace or even eye contact, & guideda my mother to the next door'private dining room' through tightly packed tables instead of using the wider main path.
He also inconsistently directed my guests-some were told to go through the café entrance from outside, others were led through the restaurant. It felt disorganized, thoughtless.
Then, the service:
Our waitress, to her credit, was kind & professional. But the food pacing was outrageous. We were all seated at 6:30 p.m., & the first course didn't arrive until 7:44 p.m., even though she assured me food would come out quickly given everything was pre-set. Despite being a pre-set menu, the kitchen somehow delivered a three-hour meal where each course was minuscule & fussy, with dishes that leaned more French than Japanese (small, saucy, hardly Japanese-y). Most dishes were tepid, dry, or rubbery-clearly pre-prepared & left under heat lamps. Cringe.
The only sushi we received came as the final course: a modest 6 to 8 pieces per person. For a party meal at a Japanese restaurant, it was the only thing that felt even remotely appropriate. A large Omakase sushi platter for the whole party to share would've been far more satisfying. Sadly, even those small plates weren't enough to salvage the experience because they too were not particularly fresh.
Conclusion:
Park used to be great. I remember its early days, when the sushi was exceptional & the fish was clearly fresh. Those days are gone. The quality has slipped, the service feels indifferent, & the prices are no longer justified. It now coasts on its Westmount location & local reputation. I won't be back.
Look, for Montreal standards, this is a terrific restaurant. The food is reliable, the service attentive, the atmosphere chic & appropriate. BUT! & this is a huge qualifier. I can eat at Park with my family & easily blow $ 2,000 for a satisfying meal (7 people, no booze), ordering all their signature dishes. But I can then go to Nobu, in New York, spend $ 1,200 USD & be blown away... by the exceptional quality of the food, the originality of the Peruvian-Japanese fusion, & a Manhattan kind of ambience (well, because it is in Manhattan). Which means that Park is a pale imitation of a restaurant it really cannot emulate, but charges the same prices as that 5-star experience.
Le repas de rêve pour tout amateur de sushis. Je me sentais au paradis le temps d'un repas. La qualité des produits est exceptionnelle & j'avais littéralement des frissons en mangeant. Le prix est élevé, mais pour vivre une expérience mémorable & pour célébrer une occasion spéciale, ça vaut entièrement la peine. J'ai hâte d'y retourner.
