Kitano Shokudo, Plateau

Montreal's sushi scene ranges from neighbourhood maki counters to serious omakase experiences. The city does not have the same Japanese population as Vancouver or Toronto, but a handful of chefs have built reputations on technique and sourcing that compete nationally. For an everyday meal, the BYOB sushi spots on the Plateau offer excellent value. For a special occasion, the omakase counters downtown and in Old Montreal deliver multi-course experiences with fish flown in from Tsukiji and local Quebec ingredients.
