YAMA, which in Japanese means "mountain", paying homage to the restaurant's location on Rue de la Montagne, and the ancient belief that the mountain is at the heart of resources such as fresh water and necessary nutrients to well-being.
Designed with natural materials that draws inspiration from the mountainous regions explored during Chef Antonio Park's long journeys, YAMA will offer you a pan-Asian menu and cocktails designed to be sensory, elevated and special.
Yama Restaurant offers a refined, artful setting and a sushi focused menu with fresh nigiri and maki, standout wagyu dishes, and a strong cocktail program that many reviews praise; the staff are frequently described as attentive and professional, and the atmosphere can feel elegant and vibrant, though a few visits note slower service or uneven attention during quieter hours or when the team is spread thin, and some diners feel the prices are steep for the value received. Breakfast and hotel dining experiences are viewed as convenient with vegetarian options and friendly service in several reports, while a handful describe moments of cold energy from management that affected the mood. Overall, the sushi is repeatedly highlighted as outstanding and the presentation tends to be praised, making Yama a popular choice for celebrations and special occasions, even as price and consistency of service remain points of critique for certain patrons.
called YAMA breakfast room service at our stay at hotel. Food portion is small, & expensive! They charge $8 room service fee, & mandatory 18% tips even tho they didn't give any service! (if bringing food to room is service then it should be already counted in $8 room service fee.) $69 food ended up being charged for $110...

We went for breakfast as a credit was included in our stay at Vogue. While the breakfast was good (the French toast specifically was delicious), we personally wouldn't have chosen it if it wasn't included. There was what appeared to be 1 person serving multiple tables. Took quite some time to be acknowledged once sitting down. The restaurant was supposed to be closed at 11, & many tables were still seated close to than without having gotten their food yet, & some without even having ordered. Prices are kind of expensive for breakfast. & the restaurant was HOT! Felt like no AC.
Honestly you can get better food at any other restaurant. The manager was rude. The wait time for the food is outrageous. I would rather waste my money at a McDonalds. I really have no idea how they are still open.
Good food, friendly service, a little slow but that's what it takes to prepare quality dishes fresh. The dessert is especially memorable, maybe worth a separate trip just to try their dessert menu.
Réservation ____ Le 27/04/2024 à 20:15 pm Je tiens à partager mon entière satisfaction suite à ma récente expérience au restaurant. Ayant eu l'opportunité de fréquenter de nombreux établissements par le passé, je peux affirmer sans réserve que celui-ci est véritablement inégalable. Son excellence & sa perfection m'ont séduit au point que j'ai reçu des éloges de la part de mes proches après cette expérience. Je prévois d'y retourner régulièrement, car une fois qu'on goûte à la perfection, on devient littéralement accro. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été impressionnés par la qualité du service, même de la part d'un serveur en première journée. Il était tellement professionnel & compétent que nous n'aurions jamais deviné que c'était son premier jour. Sa maîtrise du service était remarquable. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis & conseillés dans le choix de nos plats, avec une attention particulière portée aux allergies alimentaires. Notre réservation pour 11 personnes pour un anniversaire a été gérée avec efficacité, la table était prête bien avant l'heure convenue, & nous avons été accueillis avec le sourire. L'ambiance était agréable & conviviale, & le menu proposait une large sélection de plats de qualité. Le gérant ainsi que le personnel étaient exceptionnels, répondant clairement à nos demandes & s'assurant de la véracité de leurs informations. Je recommande vivement cet établissement à quiconque souhaite célébrer un événement spécial ou simplement passer un agréable moment gastronomique. C'est bien plus qu'un simple restaurant, c'est une expérience à ne pas manquer, méritant bien plus que 5 étoiles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
Yama restaurant is located at the Vogue Hotel downtown Montreal. It's has a beautiful large marble stone bar in the centre & the interior design is breathtaking. This is a perfect spot to have drinks & enjoy the Fashion & Beauty experience.
While the Vogue Hotel didn't quite meet expectations, Yama restaurant inside the hotel was a remarkable exception & deserved a separate rating for the exceptional foods it delivered. The dining experience at Yama was exquisite, offering a fusion of Asian dishes elevated by Western ingredients that preserved their traditional core tastes. The menu was a thoughtful blend of classic & contemporary, with each dish showcasing a harmonious balance of flavors. The chefs at Yama have a knack for integrating Western elements into Asian cuisine without overshadowing the original flavors. This results in dishes that are both familiar & excitingly new. What stood out was not just the quality of the food but also the presentation, which was artful & inviting. The ambiance of the restaurant complemented the dining experience, with a warm & welcoming atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable.

Yama that was not it ! Very disappointed! Went for a diner, the place was mostly empty & they still made a mistake on my order, the chicken burger was average at best, bun was dry to the point I had to eat with a fork & a knife. The Kimchi fries did not taste like Kimchi but way more closer to a gochugaru spicy powder. Would not recommend, the butcher paper for holding the fries was also not very chic for that type of establishement ! Very expansive for what it was
Antonia keeps making amazing food & thanks to mixologist like Justin Daigle Yama is one of my favorite spots! I've been twice & can't wait to go.l back
