✨ 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 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.

The food, vibes, & service at Phillips Bar were amazing. We came as a group of four & had such a great time. Cocktails arrived quickly, followed by a steady flow of food. One of the highlights was the crispy chicken skin with truffle mashed potato dip-absolutely delicious. I'd recommend choosing one or two items from each section of the menu. It was so fun having the table filled with different dishes & being able to mix & match flavors. After enjoying all the small plates, it was great to finish with the Teishoku-the hot service. We were lucky enough to try the snow crab on its last day of the season, & if it ever returns to the menu, it's a must-order.
