For the price paid, the food didn't knock me out of my lovely chair. Living in Montreal, we have the luxury of choosing from quite a few amazing restaurants. The decor is definitely beautiful, gave it 5*. I will definitely go back for a drink. Service didn't wow me, average.

Everything about this place is right! The food, service & ambiance were fantastic & all of this was oddly affordable :D The salmon tacos were so perfect & unique!
The food here is incredible the fish is so fresh & the plating is stunning so beautiful & tasty. I would recommend the sashimi bowls & that beef tataki! The decor & ambiance is also so amazing & viby great photo opportunities. Also the waiter Brian is so fantastic at what he does he's really a gem. & Karine the general manager is the sweetest & cares about the client's needs. The team here is solid not to mention the head bartender is fantastic & creates the most fabulous drinks!
I went there during Formula 1 & what a wonderful experience it was. We met Brian who took such a good care of our table. From the appetizers through some excellent wine recommendation, it was an absolute pleasure. I recommend this place, & wish you to meet Brian.

Exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly attentive & friendly, ensuring that every need was met with a smile. The highlight, of course, was the food. Every dish we ordered was a delightful blend of flavors & beautifully presented. I also appreciated the thoughtful beverage selection, including the creative cocktails. It's clear that a lot of care & expertise goes into every aspect of the dining experience. Yubari exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommend !!!
In short, we paid for 3 set menus but only got 2 incomplete menus that were delayed in service. While Yubari presents a promising array of Japanese cuisine, my recent visit during Grand Prix weekend left me with mixed feelings. The dishes, primarily Japanese fare, displayed culinary finesse & premium ingredients, but the portions served did not justify the price paid. Adding to the disappointment, the service failed to meet expectations, particularly evident in the delayed arrival of the sashimi platter, an essential element of any Japanese dining experience. Despite our patience, the platter arrived an hour & a half after being seated, & it only catered to two individuals despite our larger party. This logistical oversight necessitated repeated reminders about the missing items from the set menu to our server, disrupting the meal's flow & diminishing overall enjoyment. Furthermore, the fact that we had pre-paid for a set menu upon booking only added to our dissatisfaction. Despite the upfront payment, we felt we overpaid for the amount & quality of food provided. The delayed service of the sashimi platter, a key component of the set menu, further accentuated this sense of dissatisfaction.
Un incontournable ! Félicitation pour votre ouverture. L'ambiance la déco le service & l'équipe seront vraiment bien vous rendre un expérience unique ! Merci encore

I came here twice when I was working in Montreal, as I was staying in the hotel that shares the same building. Both times I sat at the bar. The first time was on a Monday evening & it was just ok. I had the slider, sashimi yellow & yellowtail roll. Slider was not that great, sushi was ok, nothing to write home about. I then came on a Wednesday & everything was so much better. Service & food were both amazing, my water was constantly being refilled like clockwork. The dumplings, baos buns & chocolate yuzu were to die for & my sushi roll was much better this time round. They also make a great espresso martini as well. Will definitely remember this meal & will be back again, next time I am in town.
Amazing experience at Yubari. The staff is friendly & attentive, ensuring every detail is perfect, & the food is simply outstanding. I highly recommend it!
The food was good but enough with these club style restaurants playing club music. It's much nicer to go to a serious authentic Japanese restaurant owned by someone Japanese. Overpriced. Menu wasn't exciting but quality was good.
Expérience absolument fantastique du début à la fin. Le lieu est simplement magnifique, l'ambiance est feutrée, chic, la musique est parfaite. J'ai particulièrement aimer les crispy rice & les nigiris ora king. Le maki koi no yokan est divin !!! La qualité des sushis est vraiment a tomber par terre, le poisson est frais & fond dans la bouche. Mention spécial pour le service ; un sans faute sur toute la ligne. Les serveurs sont aux petits oignons & se sont assurés que mon amie & moi étions satisfaites à notre sortie... on a tellement hâte de revenir !!!

Amazing place, part of the great Hotel St Paul!!! Very good Japanese food & Sake! The cocktails are so nice & the staff is there to give you the best service!!! I'll come back for sure ! Oh & I almost forgot but the DJs are always bringing the nicest playlist 👌👌👌
Came to Yubari for the first time this weekend with a group of friends. We were warmly welcomed by the staff. The decor & whole atmosphere, along with the live DJ was absolutely amazing. The food was fresh, refined & beautifully innovative. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience & service! We will most definitely be back soon!
La place est superbe! Le décor est enchanteur & parfait pour une date. Les sushi sont excellent & frais. Le service est exceptionnel Je recommande d'y aller faire un tour ! Le serveur Brian était vraiment sympa
