This was my fourth time here, & this visit was extra special because I got to share it with someone special & important to me. Hidden Fish has been my go to spot for a while now, & every single visit reminds me why I love it so much.
The Bluefin Tuna Roll is absolutely incredible. It was my first time trying bluefin tuna in sushi, known as one of the most premium & expensive types of tuna, & it completely lived up to the hype. The caviar on top added the perfect touch & made the experience even more unforgettable.
What makes Hidden Fish stand out isn't just the sushi, but the entire experience. From the ambience, to the amazing team behind the restaurant, to the presentation & quality of every dish - everything feels thoughtfully connected & executed perfectly. Even someone who normally isn't a big sushi fan ended up loving this place more than any sushi spot they had tried in Toronto.
The waiter's recommendations were spot on, & during my second visit I explored even more of the menu & loved every bite. This place truly holds a special place in my heart & is an absolute must-visit in Montreal.
Hidden Fish was honestly unreal. I brought a date there & it ended up being one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. The place has a really nice atmosphere, dim lighting, good music, relaxed vibe. Feels upscale without trying too hard or being snobby.
The sushi was next level. Everything tasted insanely fresh & you can tell there's a lot of care put into the food. The fish quality was ridiculous, the rice was perfect, & even the presentation was clean without being over the top. We tried a bunch of different rolls, sashimi, & appetizers & there genuinely wasn't a single thing that disappointed.
In my honest opinion, it's probably the closest thing to eating sushi in Japan without sitting through a 12-hour flight. That's how good it was.
Service was amazing too. Staff were super friendly, knew the menu well, gave solid recommendations, & never made us feel rushed. The timing between dishes was perfect & the whole night just flowed naturally.
Me & my date both left saying we'd definitely come back. If you want a place that actually feels special for a date night while still being comfortable & relaxed, Hidden Fish absolutely delivers.

The sushi here is fantastic! Amazing presentation, amazing flavor, & you can get aged kanpachi which is one of my faves. Even though I typically just get nigiri & sashimi, we did try one of their rolls & it was also of amazing quality.
However the atmosphere is not at all what we're used to in Japan & California--it's a weird mashup of European formal & Japanese. The lighting is dark & the atmosphere quiet.
Sitting at the sushi bar is NOT like what sitting at the sushi bar is supposed to be. There is no interaction with the sushi chefs, even though they are right there. & we had to order from a waiter by the nature of sitting at the sushi bar, stood behind us--which makes for an odd, detached experience.
All that said, it is the best nigiri & sashimi I've been able to find in Montreal so far.
The sushi here is outstanding. each roll is prepared to perfection; delicious art. We try to eat at Hidden Fish as often as possible. Definitely 5 stars.
Wonderful resto for a date night or any kind of celebration. Service is always excellent. Their sashimi is exceptional, a must try. Sushi rolls are non traditional & are on the pricey side. Desserts aren't very strong. Expect to pay 150$+ per person.
My wife & I decided to try this establishment & set a reservation. The place was packed walking in & one of the hostesses (short blonde-haired girl) almost plowed my wife over trying to go by with no regard. Just focused on where she was headed, I assume but still. Ironically on our way out the same hostess was coming back through & again almost knocked my wife over & bumped me as I pulled my wife out of the way. Again, no regard. I honestly think she didn't even notice, just so focused. So, my suggestion would be to be aware of your surroundings so you're not trampling the patrons.
The pictures of the space are misleading. I thought the space would be bigger. It made it feel like you were on top of others. Nice quaint dark charge just compact. I had reserved the sushi bar. Now we had expected to be able to see what the chefs were doing but due to the height of the wood bar that was impossible. Also, we had expected a more personalized experience as where the chefs interact as had previously at other Japanese restaurants in Jamaica, the U.S. & while living in Japan. Here they just make up the orders. I would suggest a table to anyone since they do not interact, you're just getting a lot of noise. Also, you are in a high traffic spot for the employees coming & going from the back.
All this aside the real surprise was the menu. It is unique as previewed online via their website prior to make a reservation. But found to be misleading/poorly formatted. The section for Sushi Rolls be it 6 or 8 pieces, at the top of each respective page states in red with parenthesis (6 pieces) & the other page (8 pieces). Below are the various rolls laid out with next to each one in red with parenthesis either a (6) or (8) depending on which page you are on. Now I assumed this was the price per roll as I found most menus in Montreal have a format of i.e. 00, 00.00, (0), (0$), 00$, & 00.00$. With a few in place of the $ sign using CAD. I did not think that if a page is already labeled at the top that anyone would format redundantly the amount given. & the actual price is 4 times that. Now I am not saying they aren't making a quality product. It was all very delicious. Presentation was impeccable but honestly to us it wasn't over the top or within reason of the price. I would have to say this is the most expensive sushi I have had. I believe mine was 37 CAD ($27 US). In the U.S. typically I'd say rolls range from $6-$20 USD. The cost didn't really matter, just wasn't expecting it. & again, the rolls are unique, normally not found elsewhere & were delicious. I just think the website should reflect the price of & not the amount when itis already stated, it is just misleading. Also note if your look at the drink's menu online, there are no parenthesis but to the right of each beverage item in red is a number indicating the price. So, you really shouldn't have it on one menu then be different on another.
Drink wise I started with NIKKA MIYAGIKYO PEATED 2021 SINGLE MALT for 35$ (25 USD). I had never heard of it, but I like smokey drinks. A quick check showed this bottle goes for around $250USD. So, I'd say the price equates properly. But I also based this on a shot (being 1.5oz or 44.4ml). When it came out in the standard 6oz whiskey glass it was barely visible. I'd guess based on having these glasses maybe 1/2 an ounce. So, someone either really mis poured or...... I hadn't even tasted yet when another server (we had 2 it seems) came by & asked if I would like another drink & went to take the glass. I said I hadn't even tried it yet. He apologized & said he thought the glass was empty, so that is saying something. On the note of drinks, under sake you can find 300ml DASSAI 45 JUNMAI DAI GINJO for 85$ ($62 USD), this generally sells for about $35 USD. Literally around the corner @ Gyu-Kaku (Japanese hibachi) they sell it on their menu for (300ml) 55$ ($40 USD). Hidden Fish is a 42% markup over retail.
Now dessert, amazing. Nothing like it. The mouse cheesecake was divine. I would go back just for this.
An absolutely beautiful sushi spot with an elegant atmosphere. The chefs are Japanese, & you can truly taste the authenticity & craftsmanship in every dish. The menu offers a great selection of different dishes. We had sashimi & maki rolls. Everything was fantastic. Maki had unique combinations & were perfectly balanced & delicious. Plating was beautiful. A wonderful place for a special evening or simply to enjoy high-quality, beautifully prepared sushi.
Beautiful & intimate ambiance. Food was excellent. The Wagyu sushi roll is a must try, it was more than I would spend on sushi but every single bite was worth it!
A real hidden gem! Our new sushi place for sure! Loved the amazing decor & atmosphere! The service was phenomenal. Friendly & attentive! The staff work really well together. They hardly miss a beat. & we took a spicy margarita which we highly recommend. We judge restaurants by the quality of their cocktails & they unknowingly met the challenge. Also, the sushi was delicious. The Crab maki roll was my personal favourite out of 4 maki rolls. Looking forward to trying some different ones next time. Ryan was our fantastic server. Dessert was very good too. Thank you 😊
