About

Yama Restaurant presents a fusion concept blending Japanese techniques with robust Peruvian ingredients. The kitchen emphasizes raw fish preparations, vibrant citrus-based sauces, and high-quality protein components common in Nikkei culinary traditions. Guests observe a focus on creative flavor combinations that bridge the divide between oceanic freshness and Andean earthiness. The interior environment prioritizes a functional arrangement suitable for focused exploration of these specific multicultural flavor profiles. Dishes emphasize precision in slicing and a reliance on complex, acidified marinades that define this unique cross-continental style. The menu functions as a technical display of balance where sharp ginger and spicy peppers interact with delicate sashimi. Every component serves to highlight the intrinsic textures of the selected ingredients without unnecessary distraction or traditional ornamentation.

We had a great time at the bar located near the lobby of the hotel. Our bartender, Alex, not only served us delicious cocktails, but gave us several dining options & the scoop on his favorite place to go. Thank you, Alex, for helping to make our stay so special. We will be back!

The food was good but the service was just awful, the bartenders don't know what they're doing at all

Came in to town from Buffalo for Game 4 & showed up to Yama after the game upon recommendation from a friend

Had a great time with some of the Habs fans there, but was shocked to see the despondent & arrogant attitude of the manager.

It was a busy night…the bartender & bus staff were doing a great job with the crowd but this floor manager was barely present in the room.

When he did show up, he would only concentrate on a few guests. He wasn't helping out the team at all. But what was more awkward is on more than one occasion he went behind the bar to talk down to the staff *in front* of everyone.

Ive never seen a floor manager so disconnected from what was happening

5 stars for the service staff only

WOW!
Quelle belle soirée!
Nous avons été à la dernière minute avant la partie d'hockey car nous avons eu du traffic en venant à Montréal. Les personnes avaient l'air débordé mais un gars avec des lunettes fumées (je présume être un manager) nous a accueilli & même servi pour être certain que l'on soit à temps pour la game d'hockey. poli, serviable, attentionné. Le barman qui a fait nos drinks (chapeau/lunette) était A1! Bon drink, bon vibe! Tellement, que j'y suis retourné après pour terminer la soirée. Belle ambiance & beaucoup de gens entraient après la game! Bartender étaient débordés mais encore le qui aidait même en arrière du bar. Il était partout, aidait même un grand groupe de 8 qui venait de s'installer l'autre côté du bar. Il a même gardé le sourire quand une bartender (grande blonde) lui parlait mal & l'insultait car elle n'arrivait clairement pas être efficace. Très professionel, il continuait a aidé & s'assurer que les gens étaient bien servi. S'il n'est pas manager, il faudrait qu'il le devienne. La nourriture était superbe, belle ambiance. J'y retournerai certain quand je reviendrai à Montréal!!! Bravo à l'équipe sauf...mais ça reste un 5*

Decent bar snacks, great cocktails.

Slipped in for a quick drink during my stay at the hotel. The bar was a ghost town at 3 PM on a Sunday, so I basically got a private session with the bartender. He clearly knew what he was doing, & instead of letting me blindly pick from the signature list, he suggested small tweaks like adding yuzu syrup & zest. I don't remember the exact builds, but both drinks were smooth & distinctive.

Food options were limited during off-peak hours, & I ordered the chicken dumplings & truffle fries. The dumplings came bathed in a tangy soy-based sauce & were fine for the price. The truffle fries were slightly undercooked, though the trio of sauces on the side was good enough.
