About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
Located in the heart of Montreal, Nikkei MTL invites you to discover chef Daniel Silva's Nikkei culinary art, a harmonious fusion of Peruvian and Japanese traditions. In an elegant, urban atmosphere, the chef offers dishes that marry the freshness of local ingredients with the ancestral techniques of both cultures. Highlights include refined ceviches, creative nigiris and tasty tiraditos.

The cocktail menu, inspired by the flavors of both countries, perfectly complements this unique gastronomic experience.

    Lieu atypique de la cuisine fusion japonaise et péruvienne. On voulait un truc inédit pour notre soirée d’anniversaire de mariage! C’était parfait! Personnel génial et qui expliques bien le concept du restaurant… saveurs et goûts inexplorés jusqu’à ce jour! Un régal!

    The ambience and decor was fantastic, the staff were so friendly, authentic and welcoming. The food was phenomenal - so unique and incredible flavours! The noise level was just perfect and we got a window seet so the lighting and people watching was perfect. There were three of us and we don't have huge appetite so I would recommend more than 2-3 sharing plates. The food was absolutely delicious and unique but portion sizes were small - just to be warned! Completely worth it.

    Bon service, très bruyant, les sushi d’anguille sont excellents mais les goûts et saveurs des autres plats étaient masqués par trop de sel. Trop cher pour ce que c’est . C’est dommage!
    Nikkei MTLResponded on April 9, 2025
    Merci beaucoup pour votre retour. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié nos sushis d'anguille. Nous espérons avoir l'opportunité de vous accueillir à nouveau et de répondre pleinement à vos attentes lors de votre prochaine visite. À très bientôt chez Nikkei MTL !

    Excelente, a repetir, ambiente agradable y el personal bastante simpático, respetuosos y todo en tiempo, en barra realmente un lugar perfecto para quienes gustan de ver como todo es preparado, felicitaciones al chef, terminé con el paladar encendido porque todo tiene un toque especial picante característico de la comida peruana pero con ganas de comer más.

    Good food, but overpriced. Tapas style, small portions, still each tapa is ~$30. Nicer to go just to have drinks with friends, nice ambiance and decor
    Nikkei MTLResponded on April 9, 2025

We understand that pricing can be a consideration, and we believe the quality of the ingredients and the care put into each dish justify the prices.

    La place est vraiment cosy. La carte des cocktails est vraiment belle, cependant deception car j'avais choisi 2 cocktails (1 avec alcool et 1 sans alcool) et certains ingredients n'etaient pas disponibles pour faire ces cocktails. Le service pour les cocktails etait un peu long. Nous reviendrons pour manger.

    Merci d’avoir partagé votre expérience avec autant de détails. Nous sommes ravis que l’ambiance et la carte vous aient plu, et nous prenons bien note de vos commentaires constructifs. Nous espérons être à la hauteur lors de votre prochaine visite — au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau!
