Restaurant Nozy

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

The quality, authenticity & affordability of the food is unmatched for Japanese food in Montreal. The ambiance is warm & inviting, it is definitely a relaxed yet chic vibe for people who want to enjoy the food & each others' company. Portions are very generous. Will come back.

Super expérience chez Nozy. On y est allés un lundi soir & le restaurant était complet, alors qu'ils n'étaient que trois personnes à travailler ce soir-là. Malgré ça, service ultra rapide, aucune attente & une organisation impressionnante.

La cuisine est ouverte, on voit que chacun sait exactement ce qu'il a à faire, c'est millimétré & hyper efficace. Très bel endroit, minimaliste, bien éclairé, ambiance agréable avec un bon niveau de musique.

Les plats sont copieux (avis d'un gros mangeur) , de très bonne qualité, produits frais, & le rapport qualité prix est vraiment excellent. Les cocktails étaient aussi très bons. Petit bémol très personnel sur le poulet karaage que j'aurais aimé un peu plus croustillant.

Adresse clairement recommandée !

I enjoyed my evening there, but I feel like the service could be enhanced. Prior to going, I asked them if they had uni tonight & they answered yes. When I arrived, the waitresses did not present me the menu (they did not indicate any specials or any unavailable items).

I asked the waitress if there was more or the same qty of uni in the salmon tuna don vs kaisen don, & she said they only had enough uni for the kaisen don, which I ordered. The bowl only came with one piece of uni, while all the content available online shows that the kaisen don has much more uni than only one piece. I feel like the restaurant makes better & more generous bowls for online content & content creators to attract clients, then sells a different one for customers in store, knowing that once they are sat, they are not likely to go elsewhere for dinner.

The food was good but this happened to me once at their previous location also (where they were out of uni when I was told they did), which makes me believe that this marketing strategy is part of the management of the restaurant. I find it disappointing as it ruins the overall experience, mostly knowing that they have 2 dons that are based with that ingredient.
