Nozy is widely recognized as a standout destination for authentic Japanese cuisine in Montreal, praised for its fresh ingredients, intentional menu, and high level of culinary technique. Many diners appreciate the restaurant for its unpretentious atmosphere and its ability to consistently deliver high-quality sashimi, dons, and creative appetizers that honor Japanese traditions. While the shift from its original location to a more modern, chic venue in Little Italy has drawn mixed reactions regarding the updated vibe, the core quality of the food remains a major draw for loyal patrons. Despite some feedback concerning service inconsistencies, booking system issues, and varying portion sizes, the majority of diners characterize their experience as memorable and delicious, often highlighting the chef's precise preparation and the excellent value for the quality provided.

Chef creates the most lovely dining experience. His octopus is the best I have ever had.

J'ai beaucoup apprécié mon repas, le service était très agréable. Chaque plat était succulent & surprenant, je n'ai pas été déçue.
Mention spéciale pour le dessert du soir mochi au raisin & haricot rouge qui était excellent.

Lighting is soft & intimate. Chef's Seafood Platter is a must-try. Good date spot! Thank you for the good sashimi (:

I went to Nozy exactly two weeks ago on a Friday night & had such a great experience! We arrived a bit earlier than our reservation time but they welcomed us right away & served us immediately. The restaurant was nice & cozy. The food came out quickly & was so fresh & delicious. I truly enjoyed my supper there & will definitely be going back more often, especially now that their new location is less than a 10 minute drive from my home! Can't wait to go back!!!

Nozy is a truly unique experience in Montreal & one of the rare places where you can eat genuinely authentic Japanese cuisine. In a city where real Japanese food is surprisingly hard to find, Nozy really stands apart.

I was a big fan of the original restaurant, & the new venue fully lives up to its reputation. The cooking feels confident & thoughtful, with a clear respect for Japanese culinary traditions. Nothing feels overdone or designed to impress for the sake of it. The focus is clearly on quality, technique, & balance.

The uni is outstanding, fresh & creamy with a clean, delicate flavor. The sashimi is beautifully cut & impeccably fresh, letting the fish speak for itself. The unagi is perfectly cooked, tender & rich, with just the right amount of glaze. The chirashi is another highlight, generous & well balanced, with every element placed with care.

What really makes Nozy special is the delicacy of the food. The flavors are subtle & precise, never heavy, & everything feels intentional. It is the kind of meal you slow down for & really appreciate.
If you care about Japanese cuisine & authenticity, Nozy is an absolute must in Montreal.

Une parfaite première experience avec mon fils de 9 ans qui est accro de poison crue!

Les plats contiennent des ingrédients d'excellentes qualités & sont délicatement soignés. Le service étais irréprochable.

J'ai bien hâte d'y retourner!

Merci
