YAMA, qui en japonais signifie « montagne », rendant hommage à l'emplacement du restaurant sur la rue de la Montagne, et à l'ancienne croyance selon laquelle la montagne est au cœur des ressources telles que l'eau douce et les nutriments nécessaires au bien-être.
Conçu avec des matériaux naturels qui s'inspire des régions montagneuses explorées lors des longs voyages du Chef Antonio Park, YAMA sera vous offrir un menu panasiatique et des cocktails conçus pour être sensoriels, élevés et spécial.
Les avis sur Yama décrivent globalement une expérience positive, avec des sushis frais et esthétiquement présentés et un cadre élégant et chaleureux. Le menu propose une variété d'options, y compris des plats végétariens appréciés, des maki et des plats chauds comme le wagyu, ainsi que des accompagnements tels que les frites de patate douce. Le service est souvent salué pour son professionnalisme et sa convivialité, et la nourriture est percue comme de grande qualité et constante, même si certaines critiques citent des temps d'attente plus longs et une carte parfois confuse. D'autres expériences mentionnent des prix eleves et un rapport qualité-prix discute, tandis que la constance du service peut varier selon les visites. Dans l'ensemble, Yama demeure une référence pour les amateurs de sushi, offrant une ambiance raffinée et des plats remarquables, mais les avis rappellent que le coût et le niveau de service peuvent varier.
The food & vibe is great- the staff is incredibly unhelpful & seem to require further hospitality training. I was staying at the hotel & had three issues. First, I ordered breakfast & my order was never put in- I waited over 45 minutes before I was told this. I was offered a croissant for my trouble & never got my food. Second, we were asked to leave due to reservations despite staying at the hotel- there were plenty of open spots around us & we were there for 30 minutes having one drink. The third, I broke my ankle outside & was trying to get to the hospital. I had been putting in to go orders all week & when I tried to put in a to go order on the way to the hospital I was told that they don't offer to go orders- only eating in restaurant or room service. I explained I had been doing pick up all week & that I broke my ankle. The gentleman who answered my phone call told me there was no way I was doing pick up all week (I have receipts showing I did) but agreed they could'figure something out'. My husband went to pick up my order, & they said it was never put in for the second time, but we could get room service. I waited over an hour for two cold & stale bagels & was charged a room service fee still. It was over $75 for two bagels. We absolutely love staying at the Vogue but this restaurant makes us think twice about coming back. If you're coming just for dinner I'm sure it's fine, but if you're relying on Yama as an option during a hotel stay, I cannot recommend any less. I've never experienced such poor service.
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.

We were assigned a table by the hostess on the terrasse for an evening drink. Despite several staff moving around & the place being far from busy, no one came to take our order (not even to offer water)for more than 20 minutes.
We eventually left, completely ignored. No one seemed to notice or care.
Yama has been my go-to destination for years, & with good reason-it's consistently exceptional in every way. Nestled in the heart of downtown Montreal, this restaurant offers a refined escape from the everyday, where elegance meets warmth & quality is never compromised.
From the moment you arrive, you're met with an ambiance that is both sophisticated & inviting. The interior design is beautifully curated-dim lighting, tasteful decor, & a serene energy that makes it equally suited for an intimate date night, a high-stakes business meeting, or a well-earned moment of calm after a long day.
The service at Yama is second to none. Shaf, David, Mo, & the entire team are true professionals: attentive without being intrusive, polished yet personable. Their genuine hospitality & deep knowledge of the menu elevate the experience to something memorable every single time.
The food speaks for itself. The sushi is among the finest in the city-crafted with precision, perfectly balanced flavors, & always fresh. The wagyu burger is indulgent, beautifully prepared, & full of depth. Their cocktail program is equally impressive, offering a creative yet classic selection that complements the menu perfectly.
What I appreciate most is Yama's consistency. Over the years, the quality has never wavered. It's rare to find a restaurant that strikes such a perfect balance between upscale dining & authentic hospitality.
Whether you're looking to unwind with a drink, enjoy a top-tier meal, or impress a guest, Yama delivers on all fronts. It's more than a restaurant-it's an experience. & one I wholeheartedly recommend.
Stopped in here for a drink & some appetizers to kill some time since it was raining a bit. Decor is beautiful, if it wasn't for the occasional asian furnishings, wouldn't have thought it was a Japanese fusion restaurant. Food & drinks were nice but nothing to rave about. Service was nice, our server was wonderful & she was very charming. I was a little annoyed that one of the staff was actively listening in on our conversation & interjecting his comments. Maybe he was trying to be personable but come on man, don't butt in on a conversation you're not invited into, especially when you're supposed to be working. Overall, very nice place. Would have liked to try dinner there, but we had reservations at another venue.
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.
Wonderful food. Lackluster service. The pace of service was terrible. The restaurant was half empty at most & it took 2 hours to complete a meal with one drink, two apps & two mains. The wagyu sando is a must order. Everything else was decent considering the price they're charging. The ambiance is beautiful.

Unique selection of food & drinks & very friendly service. The drinks are a bit on the pricier side, but the food surprisingly not. Got the risotto with wild crab & it was delicious. Would definitely go back!
