The verdict

This is the big-night reservation if you want one, and the fish-first Edomae approach (Japan-sourced seafood plus Quebec shellfish) is the draw. It costs about 414 CAD each before drinks, prepaid and non-refundable, so lock the date only when your plans are firm. Best for sushi devotees; skip if you want a loose, spontaneous dinner.

How much we'll spend

$$$$Est. $414 / person

Official site: about 21-course omakase at 413.91 CAD per person including tax and service, drinks not included. Prepaid.

Our estimate from posted prices, CAD, before tax and tip. Québec purchases carry the 5% federal GST plus the 9.975% Québec Sales Tax (QST, TVQ in French): 14.975% combined on taxable items. Tourisme Montréal: it is customary to tip restaurant servers, taxi drivers and hairdressers 15% of the bill, before taxes. Bellhops, porters and doormen generally get at least $2 per bag or service; coffee and food counters often have a tip cup by the register.
