Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! Not 1 bad comment to say about Yubari. From the cocktails, to the sushi & that beef rib!!! LAWD!!! Absolutely fantastic hidden gem. Alexia was amazing from the time we walked in, she had to biggest smile & gave an amazing service. 10/10
Will definitely be back!!!
Restaurant is so beautiful inside, & the food & cocktails were amazing. I got a p⭐? martini & it was 10/10. But the only thing was that we had to wait over an hour to be seated. We had a reservation for 9pm & we were only seated at 10:13. Usually when restaurants make u wait a while when u had a reservation they accommodate you with some free drinks or maybe even finger food to eat but we ended up just waiting the whole hour without no one updating us at all.

Expérience absolument fantastique, en commençant par le chaleureux accueil de Sabrina, puis la prise en charge du manager Bryan, les cocktails surprenants & délicieux de Patrick, les sushis de Marcelo à tomber par terre! Adresse incontournable à Montréal
Très belle expérience. Cuisine raffinée: japonaise avec influence française. Cadre feutré & chaleureux, belle deco asiatique tout en bois, musique de fond en semaine mais pas trop forte. Le serveur très accueillant & donnant de bonnes suggestions. Les cocktails sont à essayer. Les gyosas étaient superbes ! 100% satisfaits. Prix $$$
This place is simply amazing! Brought my date & had a fantastic time , from being welcomed at the front desk of Hotel St Paul to the host & the barman.
The barman name is ether Didier or Olivier , this guy knows whats good & treated us with great advice !
We had the gyozas, the wagyu burgers , edamame & the chef tasting experience.
The quality of food was amazing.
Me & my friend order'Yubari Blue', & it was great portion for two people. Cocktail was okay as well.
I think there is room for improvement in service-wise.
I came here with my boyfriend for the second time after having a disappointing experience, & it was amazing, the service was great, we got treated well with hospitality by the hostess, the waitress, the runners & the manager. The whole team was supper great, after hearing about our first experience. The manager made sure that our second time at yubari was a night to remember, & he most certainly was right! The food was supper good, I definitely recommend the sushi experience.The new drink menu is 100 times better than the old one. We tried 4 different signature cocktails & every single cocktail was simply amazing & paired well with what we ate.
We are super glad we went back, & thanks to the amazing service, we will most definitely be back very soon !

Another great evening at Yubari!
We stopped by for a cocktail before a friend's dinner party, didnt have a reservation but kudo to Lena, who recognized us & managed to squeeze us at the bar between 2 reservations, ....she's just awesome!!! (& creates the absolute best cocktails).
2 excellent cocktails & an entry of bao buns later, we were back on our way.
We are regulars at Yubari, we absolutely love hanging at the bar, Brian always stops by, makes you feel welcome & appreciated, cool DJ ambiance ....& when sitting at Lena's & Patrick's bar, you know its gonna be a great evening.
Thanks again to the gang at Yubari
Mon nouveau restaurant préféré!! Les saveurs sont incroyables, les shashimis wow! Un merci spécial a Sarah qui a rendu notre soirée inoubliable. Merci aussi au bar pour les cocktails trop bons!
A flawless evening at Yubari.
Exceptional cocktails by Tristan & an effortlessly smooth soundtrack from Diego. Stylish, warm, & unforgettable. Five stars all the way. ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? A Montreal Must-Try - YUBARI Sets the Bar High
I had one of the most memorable nights in Montreal at Yubari, & I can confidently say it's the kind of place that turns a simple dinner into an experience.
From the moment I walked in, the energy was exactly right-warm, stylish, & buzzing without ever feeling overwhelming. The ambiance alone would earn five stars, but the people here take it even further.
Huge kudos to Tristan behind the bar, who is honestly a master of his craft. Not only were the cocktails beautifully balanced & creative, but Tristan had this effortless way of making you feel like a VIP guest. His recommendations were spot-on, & you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. A great bartender elevates a night, & Tristan did exactly that.
& then there's Diego, the DJ, who deserves his own standing ovation. The vibe he created was unreal-perfectly curated beats that made the entire space feel alive. It wasn't overwhelming; it was magnetic. You could feel everyone leaning into the energy he built throughout the evening.
Between the exceptional service, the electric atmosphere, & the incredible talent behind both the bar & the booth, Yubari is truly in a league of its own. Whether you're visiting Montreal or you're a local looking for your next go-to spot, don't miss this place. I'm already planning my next visit.

Une expérience absolument remarquable! Ce restaurant japonais allie à la perfection ambiance jet set, cuisine raffinée & service irréprochable. Les cocktails sont de véritables oeuvres d'art - parfaitement équilibrés & visuellement sublimes. La carte des vins recèle de véritables joyaux, soigneusement sélectionnés pour accompagner chaque plat.Service courtois, attentionné & rapide du début à la fin. Une adresse incontournable à Montréal pour les amateurs de gastronomie haut de gamme.
A very chic & elegant restaurant in Old port Montreal! It features authentic Japanese cuisine with a twist of Asian & French influences & fresh ingredients flown in from Japan.
The prices for sushi ranges from 20$ to 170$. The place is not cheap. However, this pricing is justified by the exceptional quality of the ingredients used.
To drink, you'll find an excellent selection of signature cocktails with Asian influences & bold flavors.
It's an ideal place to visit for a gathering, business lunch/dinner or a date night!
Super expérience gustative au Yubari. Deuxièmement fois pour moi ici & toujours aussi satisfaite du service impeccable & aimable de Tristan & Anita ! Les cocktails, la nourriture, la musique & le staff sont d'un équilibre parfait. Je recommande à 100%. Merci pour cette belle expérience.
Super belle place! Excellent service par Sasha🔥 (si je me rappelle bien de son nom) très souriante, douce, patiente, à l'écoute. Rien à dire de négatif sur le service, c'était parfait. L'ambiance est wow & le décor 😍😍 parfait pour des photos. Le seul élément décevant est la nourriture. Ils doivent upgrade dans les saveurs ou faire des changements dans leurs menus également pour les cocktails. Nous étions une groupe de filles & personnes dans notre groupe n'étaient complètement satisfait de la nourriture.
Went on a date, I reserved a quiet table for 2 at 8 After being seated the server noticed we were not happy with our table so she happily decided to move us. Sarah was absolutely fantastic, being the only server for the entire restaurant which was busy enough for easily 2, she was on point. Great service, great energy & personality, very professional & awesome. I am definitely coming back especially for her & the bus girl that was working as well, I'm upset her name slipped my mind. Cute, bubly & super nice. Cocktail(Slipper)was great, although they did not have the sake I wanted in stock Sarah suggested the next best thing even though it wasn't in the same palate. Sushi was great although I was not really impressed with the nigiri & the Usuzukuri salmon. The Kanbina & the tuna futomaki was top notch. Vibe was great, hard to find a place that has all 3 aspects: good service, good food & music & not to mention great design by my friend Italo(Anonymus Concepts)
The ambiance is great. Cocktails are a bit expensive. Food is good. We each had a drink & order approximately six things & it cost us around 230 I think. I would recommend getting the maki with the jalapeno on top & the fried vegetables as an entree.
