I can comfortably say that I ate the best Tuna Sashimi in my life, and I eat a lot of sushi. Everything was great. The only thing I would say is I sat at the bar and the stools were horrible. It was so uncomfortable I had to stand several times during the meal.
Reviews / Ratings for Fleurs et cadeaux
Everything was amazing! The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the vibe there was so cool - busy butbintimate at the same.time. I plan to come back next time I am in Montreal.
Disclaimer: This review is more of a 3.5/5 star than a 4, but I'm giving it a 4 because I would actually still come back just for the sushi. Pros: 1. Sushi was terrific. Some of the best in the city. And that includes the rice as well, which was phenomenal. 2. The meats were also A1. Though, I hope they weren't cooked sous-vide (that method is being phased out because of microplastic contamination) but I have a suspicion they were. Owner, feel free to confirm. Either way, excellent. Cons: 1. Seating at the bar (if you're lucky not be facing a literal wall) is uncomfortable for longer than an hour. 2. Plates came out at random. Meat, then sushi, then noodles, then meat, etc. Insulting to the sushi in my opinion. 3. This is one of those devious sharing-plate restaurants that lets you easily rack up a big bill with only a couple of drinks and a few sharing plates without really noticing the total until you get the bill. Caveat emptor. But either way this style of restaurant is fading away, people are tired of sharing and overpaying for small portions. 4. The steak, for example, is far too good to be served on its own without any accompaniment. It's seems really silly. It's a sneaky way to rack up another $30 charge just to get to taste a few slices of beef. But it was good. 5. Some dishes were not well balanced, like the paprika noodles. Extremely cloy in the mouth. The ice cream suffers the same problem: overpowered. It's as if whoever is tasting the food in the kitchen is a heavy smoker or drinker because those dishes were not balanced whatsoever. 6. Last but not least, Fleurs et Cadeaux is peak "Montreal service". Cold and ironically unfriendly, as if they're doing you a grand favour by letting you in. Fake smiles that disappear the moment they turn away, and they won't bother asking if you liked your food or how the evening is going. Also, a restaurant of this caliber shouldn't let staff dress in tattered Value Village. Again, that classic "ironic" Montreal service that just makes me cringe. This isn't unique to Fleurs et Cadeaux, it's just endemic to this city. In short, despite the lack of good service and comfort and some issues with some of the dishes, this place cares about quality especially when it comes to the sushi.
Amazing food and cocktails. The agedashi tofu was so good, it’s amazing how they elevated a tofu dish 🤩 service is 100% too
This place was perfect in every aspect except for the host, who didnt really make us feel welcome. I normally dont care about this stuff, but this is a MUST for me in the service industry, ESPECIALLY if the food is michelin Bib Gourmand quality, which in my opinion it is!
The best way to describe this place is “pretentious”, from the staff to the cocktails and down to the meals. Menu is confusing at first sight but you get barely any help from the waitress - almost looking down on me for not being familiar with the meals. Cocktail was rancid. The “vegetable of the moment” was just a blanched piece of broccoli in cold water. Is that a joke? Having sesame sauce right next to it doesnt “elevate” the dish. Pretentious. 45$ for, more or less, a pokebowl wasnt worth it either. Udon spicy pork basically tasted like some sort of pistachio italian ragu - not japanese at all. But what do you expect from a japanese restaurant that doesnt employ any japanese cooks in the kitchen? The only thing this place is good for is an instagram picture. Super overrated.
Great service with next level attention to detail. Food was out of this world, with thought that went into the last little detail. Fun atmosphere and av great crowd.
Waitress talks too fast, stressed us out!!! reminded us that we had two hours and when we didnt order the 5 plates she recommended and could order later, out came a pushy sentence that we can do with our 2 hours what we want. Sounds like she was upset with us?
Utterly sublime! The service was perfect, the atmosphere terrific, and every dish superb. The tantan udon is among the tastiest bites I've enjoyed in a very long time. Please open an Edmonton location ...
Non mais… comment je suis pas venue avant ??? AMAZING.My friend and I came for the first time last Saturday night and everything was perfect. Service attentionné et impeccable. The presentation was as gorgeous as the taste. The udon noodles were cooked to perfection.We got so caught up talking that we didn’t even realize how late it was. Even after the restaurant had closed for the night, they never rushed us to leave. We really appreciated that.I’ll definitely be back to try everything on the menu!
The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, but it feels really thight when you're inside. Maybe its the fact that the tables are too close. The food was good but not worth the price imo.
Great food, drinks, and servers!
Food was Fresh and very good, service was excellent, good choices of mocktail
Juliette was an incredible server, so frank and helpful, and the fish had the most delicious texture! Tasting menu was insane so yummy
Perfect night out
Yes, yes, yes …..yessssss
amazing !! first time last night & everything was delicious - exceeded my expectations :))
Delicious food and beverages from start to finish. Fresh sashimi, temaki, charred duck breast nicely flavoured and cooked to perfection. Will come again!
Overall, the food and atmosphere were very good, and everything we received was enjoyable. There were, however, some delays that affected the experience. Even with a reservation, we waited about 30 minutes to be seated. A few of the dishes we ordered also took quite a long time to arrive, and after waiting more than 1.5 hours, we decided to cancel part of the order and eat what had already been served. The quality was definitely there, and with smoother timing, this could have been an even better experience.
Amazing altogether. Definitely recommend
definitely recommend, easiest $200 spent on food ever, the blind tasting menu is in my opinion the way to go! the scallops are melting in your mouth, the duck is smoky and delicious et the dessert is light and tasty, the perfect way to end a meal
This place had an amazing and unique vibe great for a night out. The sashimi was excellent however I was a bit disappointed with their chicken. The service was also wonderful and I loved their cocktails.
Atmosphere is great, food is awesome, the concept is great. Service is fast and well done. Great to celebrate
Intriguing speakeasy vibes, great music, and fresh chirashi bowl
Got the sashimi platter and Tan Tan noodles, delish!! Amazing atmosphere, kind and helpful staff
