Ceviche, Causa, Chicharron, Yuca fries & Cocktails.
Tiradito is widely celebrated as a vibrant destination in downtown Montreal, offering an exceptional fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavors in a lively tapas-style setting. Guests consistently praise the high-quality, inventive dishes such as the fresh ceviche, crispy chicharrón, and flavorful octopus, all of which are beautifully presented. The unique dining layout features counter seating around an open kitchen, providing an engaging experience where diners can watch the chefs work. While the atmosphere is energetic and stylish with great music, some patrons note that the space can become quite loud and that bar-style stools may not be suitable for long durations or large groups. Overall, the combination of professional service, creative cocktail menus, and distinct, flavorful small plates makes this restaurant a popular choice for date nights and gatherings.
Wants to be creative & trendy but quality of the dishes is not where it should be for the price. Cold mashed potatoes as a base for crab & octopus dishes is a let down, as others pointed out. Mango salad was swimming in extremely sweet syrupy concoction. Why? Service was friendly, reasonably fast. A little loud but that's the style. Seating is at the bar, good for solo diners or couples.
Always liked this place, since day one. The portion/size is tapas style. Perfect to share & try lots of different dishes.
Only downfall last night, no spring water. Seems a recurrent thing in the montreal food scene. People happily pay 18$ + fpr a cocktail but we cant buy good water… Tap water is gross, filled with chemicals, plus its an easy upsell for the restauranteur. Management should give those tools for the waiting staff to sell. Also, they didnt have any non-alcoholic beer. The staff told me they were in'rupture de stock' -out of stock. Why not order an alternative/ replacement product until they are able to order this product? Again, management, please provide your waiting staff products so they can sell.
The ambiance is great. The waiting staff/bar staff is very good. The food is really really good. If you like Nikkei food, this is one of the best in montreal. Happy to see they are still open after all those years.
Highly recommend!!

We had such high hopes for Tiradito, our experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
Seating is done as bar tables, which whilst it gives a great view of your cocktails being made, isn't for everyone.
Our cocktails were prompt & tasty.
Dishes were brought out one at a time, hot first & then cold.
The octopus & duck dishes were delicious, & the best part of our meal. The ceviche was oddly served in a bowl, the fish was a little too chunky to eat delicately & the accompaniments didn't seem to pair well. The crispy prawns were well overcooked, as being wrapped in filo, the pastry took longer to fry than the prawns did.
A couple of times during service, we were handed dishes that we hadn't ordered, even though the restaurant only had a handful of tables & it took 4 attempts to be given our correct bill.
The food really isn't great & the seating at the bar is really uncomfortable & loud. Server never came back to ask how it was or if we wanted to order more food or drinks. Would not return.
Nous avons passé un super moment au bar Tiradito. Les plats sont succulents, l'ambiance est top, les vins sont excellents. Servis façon tapas, il faut s'attendre à une facture qui peut grimper vite ! Mais un bon endroit pour prendre du plaisir autour d'un bon verre & de bons plats !
Un resto-bar branché à quelques minutes de la Place des Festivals !
Les cocktails sont excellents & les plats à partager d'inspiration portugaise sont fait par un chef !
Un incontournable au centre-ville de Montréal !
If you love healthy food & reggaeton, this is your new favourite place
Servers & kitchen were super kind to modify veggie dishes to be vegan.
Service was attentive
Food is absolutely beautiful on the plate. Only downside is price point, but you get what you pay for… it was worth the splurge & on point with similar restaurants in the area.
Server was helpful when we mentioned we had tickets to the ballet & needed to head off to the theatre on time.
Also went to the downstairs bar with DJ Kavx last Saturday. No cover, & great music. Good vibes.
The terrasse was opne to the first really comfortable day of the year. I had no idea what to expect, but the food was ABSOLUTELY fantastic. Had the Pollo, the squid & the Ceviche. The pollo was well fried, not over fried, moist, & the sauce - delicious! The Squid... OH MY it was my favourite. Not chewy AT ALL, & cooked to a way where there was a slight crisp, paired with a slightly sweet purée. & the ceviche, WHAT A SURPRISE! The fish itself was super fresh, & there was like different types of corn. On their own there was this big corn type of vegetable that wasn't that great, but with a mouthful of all the ingredients together - so savory & with plenty of textures.
The idea is you choose several plates & share.
It was a fantastic dining experience for me, laid back but still with a almost gastronomy experience. The price of the plates themselves was very accessible (it was drinks for us that took a part of the bill ;) )
We were seated at the bar which ii the central piece, & people were milling about.
The decor is fantastic - not overdone, a bit on the luxe side (velvet cushioned seating) but not overly.
Really, really glad I tried here (I was here for work).
A hidden gem in downtown Montreal. Entrance is obscured by purple curtains. Atmosphere was that of a lively bar. Spanish music playing & lots of happy locals. Food was excellent. Portions are on the smaller side, but tasty. Recommend trying their cocktail specialties, such as the traditional Pisco sour. Goes very well with the fried chicken traditional dish. They use habanero peppers generously, so the dishes are quite spicy. Seating are all stools. Walk-ins are welcome but reservations are recommended for the best spots by the windows.
