Sushi Nishinokaze

Easily one of the best dining experiences of my life. The front-of-house team & Chef Vincent were exceptional - warm, knowledgeable, & impeccable. The food was beyond outstanding, showcasing incredible technique, precision, & creativity.

That said, the experience left me with an interesting reflection. A restaurant of this caliber has the unique opportunity to tell the story of both its culinary heritage & the land where it exists. While the Japanese influence & traditions are beautifully executed, I couldn't help but wonder how this philosophy could further embrace Quebec's incredible seasonal products & local producers.

Seeing ingredients like zucchini sourced from Japan during peak Quebec zucchini season raises questions about the balance between gastronomic excellence & local sustainability. It would be fascinating to understand the overall environmental footprint of such a sourcing approach - where nearly every ingredient, from fish & rice to greens & fruits, travels thousands of miles to arrive fresh on the plate daily.

An unforgettable experience - but also a reminder that the future of fine dining may lie in the intersection of cultural tradition, culinary innovation, & a deeper connection to place.

If I could give this place a 10 star, I would.

The staff is incredibly kind & attentive. They took care of my husband (who has a disability) & ensured he was comfortable. They were very understanding & generous. Not to mention that the food was absolutely incredible.

We are very grateful for our experience here.

Overall overpriced. $1000+ for 2. The nigiri weren't creative & the first white fish dish was super overcooked. They focus on traditional ingredients, but there's a fine line between'traditional' & simply not creative. 3 stars because it was fresh. Wish there was wagyu or something'new'.

Nous avons adoré notre expérience d'Omakaze. Quelle chance d'avoir cette cuisine de grande qualité dans notre ville & dans les deux langues! Le service était attentif & chaleureux, l'ambiance calme, épurée & presque contemplative, la nourriture excellente.

Superbe expérience tant sur le plan culinaire que sur le côté immersif. Nous avons été agréablement surpris. Le service était excellent. Le personnel est très courtois & sympathique! Le luxe sans pour autant être ostentatoire. Merci pour la magnifique soirée!

The best sushi I've had in my life compared to other Michelin starred sushi restaurants I have been. Everything is prepared with care, & with thought. Every course is perfectly timed. Every piece of sushi is of the perfect temperature, & is explained by the chef. I'm not a connaisseur of sake but the carafe recommended by our hôte was perfect. It was served in beautiful ceramic cups with a history behind them. If you are chasing after the best sushi in Montreal, this is it.

This would've been 5/5 across but except for service which was phenomenal: A little basket for my lady to put her purse in, plates were always cleaned, water always topped up, chair is pulled for you & napkin folded when you step away. With the exception for one blemish: we were offered the choice of flat or sparkling water but not once were we informed of the prices of it unless you asked (11$ per bottle in case you were curious). Midway through the service we were offered an optional service of lobster tail for 40$ which we took but was rather disappointed because it was a bite sized portion (despite that, it tasted delicious!). This is not necessarily about the money, & in the grand scheme of things is a small amount (which in reality is 5% of the entire bill) , but it definitely blindsided us from an otherwise perfect supper.

In the picture is the 40$ lobster tail (bottom middle) & 11$ water (top left)
