Tiramisu delivers a precise synthesis of Italian culinary traditions and Japanese precision within a high-energy architectural space. The menu emphasizes structural contrasts, pairing hand-stretched pasta with delicate raw fish preparations and artfully executed crudos. Guests encounter a fusion concept where traditional starch-based comfort meets the clean, umami-forward profiles of Tokyo-inspired seafood techniques. The kitchen maintains rigorous standards for ingredient sourcing to support a diverse selection of appetizers and shared plates. High-gloss surfaces and theatrical lighting define the atmosphere, mirroring the duality of the dual-continent culinary influence. This establishment serves as a focal point for those seeking a modern interpretation of Mediterranean and East Asian flavors prepared with technical consistency. Every dish highlights the intersection of two distinct food cultures through a calculated and methodical approach to plate assembly and flavor layering.
Tiramisu is widely recognized for its beautiful, chic, and inviting atmosphere, making it a popular choice for both casual dinners and celebratory group events in Montreal. Many guests praise the creative fusion of Italian and Japanese cuisines, particularly highlighting the high quality of the pizzas, tartare appetizers, and the signature tiramisu. While a significant portion of the clientele reports outstanding, attentive service and a friendly, professional staff, experiences can be inconsistent. Some patrons have noted challenges with long wait times, occasional errors in order accuracy, and smaller portion sizes, while others have expressed frustration regarding rigid reservation policies and mandatory gratuity structures for larger groups. Despite these mixed reports, the restaurant remains a highly recommended destination for those seeking unique flavor combinations, expertly crafted cocktails, and a stylish environment.
The food was really great, portions were awesome. However, the service was seriously lacking. Upon arriving, the hostess was not polite & very cold. Moreover, our waitress never came back to see if we were enjoying our food, or to see if we needed anything else. We were told there was another reservation at 9:30pm, & at 9pm the waitress came over about the cheques, without even asking if we wanted dessert. Overall, the food was great but the service needs improvement
Stumbled on this spot & descide D to walk in. The place looks like nothing I’ve been to before & felt very cool. Lots of time spent designing this place. Staff was super friendly & Food was great. It’s Italian but with an Asian twist & it freakin works. New go to spot for date nights !

I went for brunch & although it's a nice place & the atmosphere is cozy, I'm not sure I'd go back.
The food, while good, is nothing crazy. It's a good mix of Italian & Japanese but the flavors need to be more daring & bold. They were able to modify my dish since I don't eat meat, which was very nice.
Also, what really surprised me about this place was the mimosa deal. They had a $30 promotion for bottomless mimosas so of course we grabbed it (it wasn't on the menu but on instagram, we had to ask the waiter). Once you get your first bottle you have two hours to drink, past the two hours THEY REMOVE THE BOTTLE (even if it still has alcohol in it) from your table. Maybe this is a common thing now in restaurants, but I had never seen it before & I find it weird & stressful. Of course I asked what they do with the bottles that are still half full (as I said, they take the bottle regardless of how much is left) & the answer was that they use it to serve individual mimosas.... While I am all in for not wasting anything I find it unhygienic for restaurants to do this. You don't know who has touched that bottle, if someone sticks their finger in the hole or whatever & they serve other people with a bottle that has been used & touched by previous customers? Of course you don't.
In a nutshell, a nice place with potential, but too average for the price & definitely don't order individual mimosas.
Très agréable soirée entre amie. Belle ambiance, repas délicieux, service impeccable de notre serveuse & celle qui nous a proposé le vin, super professionnel. L'été prochain on réserve une place sur la terrasse sans faute ! Au plaisir de se revoir très bientôt
La serveuse a offert un très mauvais service. Premièrement nous avons du lui demander par nous meme pour commander sans quoi elle ne demandais rien. Ensuite entre l'entre & le repas elle laisse les assiettes sur la table & la personne arrive avec les plats principaux. La table est rempli d'assiette sale & vide j'ai du lui demander de vider la table car personne ne le faisais. Par la suite elle nous offre pas le parmesan pour les pâtes vous avons du le demander à une autre personne qui ne comprenais rien du français ou de l'anglais & est revenu avec des boites en carton pour emporter quand nous avions même pas pris une boucher de notre plat encore. Notre serveuse assigner repasse & nous lui demandons du parmesan car jamais reçu encore. Râpe le parmesan à moitier sur la table à moitier dans le plat. La table est rempli de parmesan mais ne ramasse aucunement le dégât & part. Entre le dessert & le repas j'ai du lui demander car sans quoi on aurais continuer à manger sur une table sale. Pour finalement me faire amener la facture alors que j'ai à peine pris 1 gorgée de mon café que j'ai du demander car elle ne nous l'a pas demander. (Sans mentionnée le café noir qu'elle nous a amener sans lait ni crème ou sucre à côté ). Visiblement le service au table n'est pas le point fort de tous quand je dois demander pour tout dans la soirée & amène une facture quand on a peine commencer le dessert.
I recently dined at Tiramisu with my girlfriend, & I have mixed feelings about our experience. We began with a sushi arancini as an appetizer, which, while tasty, left us wanting more due to its small portion size.
For the main course, I ordered a pasta dish, & unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. It lacked the flavors & quality I anticipated. My girlfriend ordered a pizza, & to our disappointment, it also fell short of our taste preferences.
The service was passable, but there was an unexpected change in our server towards the end of the meal, without any explanation. This transition caused a delay in receiving our bill, which was frustrating.
What stood out the most was the crowd in the restaurant – predominantly in the 60-85 age range. While this added a unique dynamic to the atmosphere, it wasn't quite what we expected.
