We go back there ever time we come to Montreal. The food is delicious: ribeye steak with 3 peppercorn sauce, and scalloped potatoes was excellent. The decor is pleasing, the restaurant was moderately crowded, very comfortable and enjoyable..

I’ve always loved Bloom Sushi for its delicious food and beautiful location, but sadly, my recent visit wasn’t up to the usual standard. While the food remained fantastic, the server we had this time was surprisingly rude, which really dampened the overall experience. It was quite disappointing compared to the excellent service we’re used to here. I hope this was a one-off because Bloom Sushi has always been a favorite for its amazing vegan offerings.
