Nozy is a truly unique experience in Montreal and one of the rare places where you can eat genuinely authentic Japanese cuisine. In a city where real Japanese food is surprisingly hard to find, Nozy really stands apart. I was a big fan of the original restaurant, and the new venue fully lives up to its reputation. The cooking feels confident and thoughtful, with a clear respect for Japanese culinary traditions. Nothing feels overdone or designed to impress for the sake of it. The focus is clearly on quality, technique, and balance. The uni is outstanding, fresh and creamy with a clean, delicate flavor. The sashimi is beautifully cut and impeccably fresh, letting the fish speak for itself. The unagi is perfectly cooked, tender and rich, with just the right amount of glaze. The chirashi is another highlight, generous and well balanced, with every element placed with care. What really makes Nozy special is the delicacy of the food. The flavors are subtle and precise, never heavy, and everything feels intentional. It is the kind of meal you slow down for and really appreciate. If you care about Japanese cuisine and authenticity, Nozy is an absolute must in Montreal.
