✨ Phillips Bar (Montreal) ✨
Okay but this spot?? So good. The menu has everything - hand rolls, maki, otsumami, taru taru, sarada, teishoku - & I tried a bit of it all (no regrets). Everything was super fresh, portions were perfect, & the service was fast + super friendly. The cocktails were not only so cute but actually amazing too 😋🍸

The whole vibe is chill & cozy - perfect for dinner with friends or a cute night out. 10/10 recommend, I'm already planning my next visit 💛

Super expérience, très bon service. Le tartare de boeuf incroyable, le meilleur que j'aie mangé de ma vie. La salade de mangue, haricots & morue : tout était excellent. Très bon cocktail également !

Super belle découverte au centre-ville! Le bar a une ambiance chic mais détendue, parfaite autant pour un 5 à 7 que pour finir la soirée. Les cocktails sont travaillés & originaux (vraiment bien dosés, pas trop sucrés). Le service est attentionné sans être envahissant, on sent que l'équipe connaît ses produits. La musique & l'éclairage ajoutent vraiment au vibe. Je recommande autant pour une date que pour sortir entre amis.

I had a wonderful experience with my girlfriend, perfect spot & intimate ambiance for a 1:1 girls' night out. The team that hosted us was warm & made great recommendations, the cocktails were fantastic & original, & the cod, out of this world. Thank you for hosting us!

Absolutely beautiful interiors & perfect lighting. The food & cocktails were fabulous as well… perfect date night spot. Service was technically perfect but not very personable.

The miso black cod is an absolute MUST. It was delicious & so were the hand rolls & sushi! The cocktails were beautifully complex & so tasty as well. I personally enjoy bar seating & we had such great & attentive service.

I will definitely go back, & I suggest bringing friends so you can try as many dishes as possible!

When I discovered that the restaurant featured a fusion of Japanese cuisine crafted by Chef Lawrence Tomlinson, I knew I was in for a treat-& it certainly did not disappoint. The chef's creativity & innovative twists on high-quality ingredients resulted in a vibrant menu bursting with flavor. Each dish left me eager to inquire about the secret ingredient that elevated the flavors to an extraordinary level, yet I couldn't quite pinpoint it. I absolutely adored everything about this place! My only regret was not trying a cocktail, as the ones I saw being served looked simply irresistible. You will not be disappointed.
