Montreal is a city that genuinely doesn\u2019t mess around when it comes to food, and its sushi scene is proof. I\u2019ve spent years exploring Japanese restaurants across the city, and every visit seems to reveal a new favorite roll or a different take on omakase. If you\u2019re just starting your sushi adventure here or you\u2019re a local looking for your next spot, this 2026 guide rounds up my honest picks for the best sushi in Montreal\u2014broken down by vibe, neighborhood, and the plates you shouldn\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s dig in\u2014chopsticks at the ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you ask locals about a go-to for upscale sushi, you\u2019ll hear Jun I\u2019s name\u2014trust me, it\u2019s earned. Tucked away on Avenue Laurier Ouest (yes, in the heart of the Plateau), Jun I\u2019s got a zen, intimate vibe that always feels a bit special, whether it\u2019s date night or you\u2019re treating yourself after a long week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chef, Junichi Ikematsu, is one of those rare talents who makes everything look effortless. I still remember the first time I tried their foie gras nigiri with apple compote. It blew my mind\u2014sweet, savory, and just a little bit decadent. If you splurge here, get the miso-marinated black cod too; thank me later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
