Restaurant Nozy offers a Japanese menu, Teishoku style, which includes several smaller dishes, such as miso soup, rice and seasonal side dish, and main dish.
Nozy is praised as an authentic Japanese spot in Montreal with exceptionally fresh sashimi, standout uni, perfectly cooked unagi, and well balanced chirashi and dons, all served in a warm, intimate, unpretentious setting that many reviewers compare to dining in Japan. The kitchen is noted for strong technique and thoughtful preparation, with high quality ingredients and good value for the price, and the ambience is described as chic yet relaxed. A few visits mention slower or inattentive service, occasional miscommunication about omakase or uni availability, and certain dishes that don’t meet expectations, but the consensus remains that Nozy is among the best Japanese options in Montreal and well worth a visit, albeit with some variability from visit to visit.
Ordered the chirashi bowl for two. Everything was fresh & relish. Totoro tummy, uni, eels, salmon & the rice was all so flavourful! ---- Update 10/2023 I did not go back to that restaurant since the pandemic. Decided to try their Omakase that they serve during the weekend. The ingredients were amazingly fresh & I would definitely recommend to go for their all you can drink menu as well. Pricing was a bit expensive but worth the experience. If you're craving for some fresh Japanese seafood dishes, it is definitely worth going.

The fish is very fresh & melt in your mouth! Excellent quality for a very decent price point, with a great selection including urchin & fatty tuna. Simple but very beautiful presentation of the dishes, the take kago comes in a cute woven basket with a chef's selection of different appetizers to try, & serves as a meal. Their karaage is also one of my favourites in Montreal!
Endroit incroyable, atmosphère parfaite pour un date night. Meilleure pieuvre que j'ai jamais mangé. Les ingrédients sont tellement frais. Le poisson est d'une qualité exceptionnelle. La pieuvre était tellement bonne que nous avons commandé une deuxième assiette!!! Le staff est très courtois. Belle découverte nous y retournerons.
I admit that it's a bit pricy, but quality was there for raw fish. As a Japanese person, prefer not to have sriracha sauce (?) on rice but all fish tastes great so no complaints. It seemed like it's run only by owner himself for lunch time so it might take time to be served if it's busy.
Went for the 14 course omakase. Was disappointed in the lack of fish & quality for the substantial price. The unlimited alcohol included would normally be expensive but was not a good trade for the quality of the food. Was really trying to like this restaurant but left feeling shortchanged.

Went for 14 course omakaze, that ended up being 13 courses.
4 of the courses were served together, one bite each.
Really small portions. Disappointingly so.
Tiny cuts of sashimi.
One of the main courses was a tablespoon of rice covered in maybe 1.5 tablespoons of curry sauce with a teaspoon of shredded chicken. Would be funny if it wasn’t so expensive.
We went to the Omakase night on Saturday evening.
Everything was delicious & portions were quite generous. They had several Sake options available that were included in the price.
A heartfelt recommendation �
I liked this restaurant, good quality, normally acceptable price, but normally the sashimi as starters are not too thin, this evening, it was 30-40% less thick tehn usual & not much variety for 16 pieces... I find this shocking as it's my favorite item in this restaurant.
Too bad, I don't know if I'll go back?
Note: I never take the sashimi with rice (main dish), as the rice is always hot & start to cook the sashimi (maybe that is the way in Japan, but for me it make no sense)
Everything we had here was surprisingly good! The marinated eggplants was nothing to look at but tasted amazing! The omurice with beef sauce was excellent, & the eel rice bowl was buttery & decadent.
Amazingly fresh Japanese food. Sashimi was the best I've had in Montreal (I'm from Vancouver & have been to Hawaii a few times, so I have high standards lol). The uni was super fresh as well. Sake flight was great & had a fun variety.
