Tiramisu propose une synthèse précise des traditions culinaires italiennes et de la rigueur japonaise au sein d'un espace architectural dynamique. Le menu met l'accent sur les contrastes structurels, associant les pâtes fraîches étirées à la main aux préparations délicates de poisson cru et aux crudos exécutés avec précision. Les convives découvrent un concept de fusion où le confort traditionnel des féculents rencontre les profils umami épurés des techniques de fruits de mer inspirées de Tokyo. La cuisine maintient des normes rigoureuses d'approvisionnement en ingrédients pour soutenir une sélection diversifiée d'entrées et de plats à partager. Les surfaces brillantes et l'éclairage théâtral définissent l'atmosphère, reflétant la dualité de cette influence culinaire bicontinentale. Cet établissement agit comme un point central pour ceux qui recherchent une interprétation moderne des saveurs méditerranéennes et est-asiatiques préparées avec une constance technique exemplaire.
Tiramisu est largement reconnu pour son atmosphère belle, chic et accueillante, ce qui en fait une destination prisée tant pour les dîners décontractés que pour les événements de groupe à Montréal. De nombreux clients louent la fusion créative entre les cuisines italienne et japonaise, soulignant particulièrement la grande qualité des pizzas, des tartares et du tiramisu signature. Bien qu'une grande partie de la clientèle rapporte un service exceptionnel et attentionné de la part d'un personnel amical et professionnel, les expériences peuvent varier. Certains convives ont noté des défis liés aux temps d'attente prolongés, à des erreurs occasionnelles dans les commandes et à la taille des portions, tandis que d'autres ont exprimé leur frustration concernant les politiques de réservation rigides et les structures de pourboires obligatoires pour les grands groupes. Malgré ces avis partagés, le restaurant demeure une adresse fortement recommandée pour ceux qui recherchent des combinaisons de saveurs uniques, des cocktails savamment préparés et un cadre élégant.
C'est la seconde fois que je teste le menu brunch de chez tiramisu & clairement je vais y retourner pour tester les autres menus. Le cadre est magnifique, la nourriture est succulente. Excellent rapport qualité-prix.

From Saturday Oct. 15. Food was exceptional, service was terrible. Arrived for our 9:30 reservation & promptly seated, then waited almost 20 minutes for service. Hedged our bets by ordering drinks & our meal simultaneously, because service was very slow in our section. (Except for a nearby table of obvious social influences, who received 4 courses during our wait for service.)
Following a further 20 minute wait, our order arrived in this sequence: pizza & pasta, salad entre (we had to ask after this) followed by drink orders.
I think we confused our MIA server when we laughed at the arrival of our drinks - a meal perfectly served in reverse.
Would have given 5 stars if the waiter had informed us about the kitchen closure & had requested us if we wanted a dessert. We really wanted to finish our thanksgiving dinner with a nice dessert & we felt that the waiters wanted us out even if it was not late.
My experience at Tiramisu turned out to be perfect!
I mean under normal circumstances I feel like my family & I were just had a very unlucky night, but the manager, Andy, made our experience very special.
I'll explain...
First we had made our reservations online for 3pm, but when we arrived the hostess kindly told us there must have been a mistake because the kitchen closes at 3pm & reopens at 5pm. It was a little inconvenient, but it actually turned out really well because we got to do a little extra sight-seeing & it made my Mother's birthday extra special:) When we came back at 5pm, a new hostess seated us at one of the booths at the back (I would strongly recommend sitting over there because the ambience is absolutely amazing!!! The restaurant has a beautiful vintage (70s-vibe) decor which we could really appreciate from that section.
So, as an appetizer we ordered the beef tartare & grilled octopus. My family was amazed by the texture of the octopus, & the tomato confit was spot-on, but honestly my favourite was the beef tartare!!! I mean the tartare was accompanied with these delicious deep-fried ginger-flavoured rice balls with fior di latte cheese inside & topped with a miso aioli! When I say they were amazing, I mean they were absolutely a-m-a-z-i-n-g. They really captured the Japanese-Italian fusion! I would have bought the dish again just for the the rice balls🙂
For our main course we ended up ordering one al ragu, one al tartufe & one piccante. I was the one who ordered the al ragu, but unfortunately I just didn't like it...I found the sauce was too watery, I would have liked to it is purred & topped with meat chunks because sauce was too liquids & I found the taste a little bland. But I understand it is probably just a personal preference. What I really appreciated was when Andy saw our table he was very accommodating & genuinely nice about the whole situation. He kindly asked me what I wanted instead, & the al tartufe was everything I wasn't in a pasta...it was creamy, well-seasoned & very flavourful:) I couldn't have need more pleased!
Finally, for dessert we really wanted to get the tiramisu (I mean how can you not get tiramisu at tiramisu) but unfortunately the waiter told us they ran out of tiramisu...the irony was the highlight of our night-but it really made it special. Instead they put a sparkler on tiramisu ice-cream & gave us some shots for my Mother's birthday! All of our experiences at Tiramisu made our night unforgettable (in a good way) & I think we will be back soon!!:)
Issues arise in any restaurant, but it's the way the staff deals with them...that's what makes the restaurant really good. The staff at Tiramisu were really friendly, & super accommodating. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, it was an unforgettable night & one that really made my Mother's Day special. Thank you so much, we appreciate everything:)
