 European-Asian fusion |
1 Place Ville-Marie Montreal, QC H3B 4R7 Canada +1 514 397 0737 http://www.altitude737.com/ |
Like most skyscraper restaurants, 737's kitchen has at times had difficulty living up to the view; but what a view! Perched atop Place Ville-Marie, chef François Da Ponte takes diners through a solid menu of world cuisine in lavish décor. Dishes include Eggplant Caviar with tomato and tarragon, Calamari Cake with warm goat cheese, and the 737 Steak Tartare. Desserts are presented with flair, and might include the Banana Flambée for Two. With a modest selection from the impressive cellar. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Just relax |
5499 Côte-des-Neiges Road (Near Dupuis) Montreal, QC H3T 1Y8 Canada |
One of Montreal's foremost sushi restaurants, this place has suffered from mixed reviews over the past few years; but it remains a very pleasant and popular place to eat in Côte-des-Neiges. Specialties include Shishamo, or grilled sea smelt, and a few other Japanese standards (tempura vegetables, for instance) in addition to the full roster of sushi. The adventurous might try the Sushi Pizza. Diners here tend to take their time, and the staff are more than willing to accommodate; it is a soothing, sedate neighbourhood fixture.

No compromise |
5263 St-Laurent Boulevard (At Maguire) Montreal, QC H2T 1S4 Canada +1 514 271 5263 |
This is one of Montreal's best known sushi emporiums, and features a sparse but warm décor appropriate to its hip Plateau Mont-Royal neighbourhood. The full sushi menu includes several house specialties, and those in search of a full meal can take advantage of the very reasonable tables d'hôte: around CAD15 at lunch and CAD35 at dinner gets you soup, a choice of appetizers and a nice sampling of maki rolls and sashimi. Other specialties include satsuma-age (grated fish fried in oil) and zaru soba (Japanese noodles). Review © 2007, Wcities |

Japanese-French fusion |
3469 Parc Avenue (Near Sherbrooke) Montreal, QC H2X 2H6 Canada +1 514 845 8226 |
This Japanese-fusion restaurant offers prompt and friendly service combined with extremely reasonable prices. Owner Hige Minagawa fine-tuned his skills for 15 years at the upscale Katsura on de la Montagne Street. The décor is casual and unpretentious: dark linen on small bistro-style tables, woodcut prints on pink-coloured walls, and the menu listed on a green wallboard behind the central sushi bar. Dishes include barbecued eel in puff pastry and Japanese-style rack of lamb marinated in a soya-ginger-pepper sauce. It also offers most traditional sushi dishes, yellowtail, striped bass, and mackerel. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Smart set eatery |
16 des Pins Avenue East (Near St-Laurent) Montreal, QC H2W 1N3 Canada +1 514 844 2121 |
This Chinese-sushi fusion restaurant draws a smart crowd. The service is appropriately haughty but not overbearing, and still on the right side of friendly. The usual array of pan-Chinese cuisine is offered, from imperial rolls and wontons to fried noodles with pork or chicken, as well as a selection of sushi. Prices are a little high, but no one seems too concerned. The space is small and intimate, with stark, postmodern décor and attitude in keeping with the sophisticated diners. The terrace offers further opportunities to be seen. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Japanese/Asian fusion |
4075 Ste. Catherine Street West Montreal, QC H3Z 3J8 Canada +1 514 707 8744 x111 http://www.70sushi.com |
This is an appropriately named place where customers can shut their eyes and dream of foreign lands amid the aroma of Japanese/Asian cuisine, pampering service and a joyful décor. It is very upscale and definitely pricey, but the dishes, from made-to-order Maki rolls (CAD7.50-13) and Nigiri and Sashimi (CAD4.25-12.25) to Fresh Caspian Caviar (CAD55-115 per ounce), are definitely worth the price of admission. Some might feel that it is extravagant, but do not try to get in without a reservation. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Enshrined space |
2170 de la Montagne Street (Near Sherbrooke) Montreal, QC H3G 1Z7 Canada +1 514 849 1172 |
One of Montreal's first Japanese restaurants, this downtown institution has been vying for the city's sushi title for more than a quarter of a century. Soothing décor and a striking sushi bar contribute to the sophisticated and calm atmosphere. The sushi menu is enormous, representing the full range of maki rolls and sashimi; various platters allow you to combine the tried-and-true with more exotic choices. Tamer palates will be satiated by traditional teriyaki dishes (steak, chicken), sukiyaki and tempura specialties. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Outremont's best sushi |
387 Bernard St West (Near Hutchison) Montreal, QC H2V 1T6 Canada +1 514 490 1225 |
A classy, popular sushi joint in the heart of Outremont, Maiko impresses with immaculate sushi creations and excellent interpretations of other Japanese standards — tempura, steak, and so on. The sparsely decorated but affecting décor features a sushi bar and crisp white tablecloths, and the service, while sometimes a tad slow, is always friendly and well-informed. On summer nights the terrace is a warm, friendly place to watch the world go by on Bernard Street. Review © 2007, Wcities |

368 Laurier Avenue West (Near du Parc) Montreal, QC H2V 2K7 Canada +1 514 279 4809 |

Dishes include starters such as marinated grilled vegetables or fried cheese salad, followed by mains like White Wine Risotto with seafood, homemade pasta stuffed with chickpeas, and catch of the day. Or, if you fancy sushi, try a combination platter or the house special Tempura Maki. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is the place to go if you want to move into a cheerful world of light, bright colors, blond-wood floors and paneling, and airy rice-paper lanterns. The décor is crisp and modern, the upholstered chairs are comfortable, and there is a tatami room offering that extra touch of privacy.

Pan-Asiatic cuisine |
2090 de la Montagne Street (Near de Maisonneuve) Montreal, QC H3G 1Z7 Canada +1 514 288 8898 |
This reasonably priced pan-Asiatic restaurant offers cuisine from Thailand, Japan, India, Malaysia and China (Szechuan, Cantonese and Hunan). Specialties include Thai Satay, Japanese Tempura Shrimp, Singapour Caris and General Tao Chicken. The simple setting is hardly noticeable and is best described as ordinary: metal chairs and tables, with utilitarian tablecloths, but it is in keeping with the uncluttered look of this small restaurant. A small terrace complements the modest decor. Review © 2007, Wcities |
