Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Hudson

"If you’re walking down Saint-Catherine Street in downtown Montréal and notice a queue of people outside a restaurant, there’s a good chance it’s Kazu. The wait is worth it. Known for its authentic Japanese dishes and affordable menu, Kazu has become a regular haunt for locals and a treat for tourists."

"What is it: Were you to ask a Montrealer where the best Japanese can be found, they’ll tell you it’s Kazu. They’ll also tell you it’s best to arrive early, as there’s a regular line up the block. That’s due in part to this restaurant’s no-reservations policy, but also because of popularity."

"have heard recommendations for this place from quite a few people, and it normally has a long wait due to no reservation policy. glad to have tried it during…”more"

"Ask around for the best Japanese restaurant in Montreal, and it’s this one from chef Junichi Ikematsu. While sushi is one of this restaurant’s more recognized calling cards, don’t disregard the menu’s entrées that result from a cross-pollination with European techniques: Octopus with kombu salt that’s grilled and set in a burnt celeriac purée, or arctic char with a pepper meringue and blood orange reduction. Whatever you visit for, it will impress."

"Jun I is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Montreal, if not the best. Located on Laurier Avenue West for over 10 years, Jun I is a truly exceptional address and an absolute must-try in Montreal. The decor, designed by Jean Pierre Viau, is original, comfortable and is particularly reminiscent of Montreal’s winters; decorative birch trees, velvet chairs and black tables."

"Jun i is one of Montreal’s best sushi restaurants, if not the best in our view. Chef Junichi Ikematsu rates as one of the best chefs and has trained the greats of our city. The menu of Jun I is characterized by the indisputable delicacy of the plates and the freshness of the products used."

"Sushi Momo tops the best sushi lists across the city, but it’s entirely plant-based. This cozy bistro specializes in creative vegan sushi rolls and Japanese entrées while making use of seasonal ingredients like jackfruit, truffle oil and hibiscus flower. Make sure to try the Fuji flambé, a fried avocado maki topped with torched jackfruit tartare and tartar sauce."

"Sushi Momo is an excellent restaurant specializing in vegan sushi and other Japanese specialities. Sushi Momo opened in 2014 and is run by chef Christian Manuel Ventura Alatorre whose innovative sushi creations are very tasty indeed. It is one of the first restaurants in Montreal to serve vegan sushi and amongst those with the most varieties."

"You wouldn’t think that a combination of the words “vegan” and “sushi” would be very appetizing, but Sushi Momo is here to prove you wrong: their creative menu is entirely free of animal products."

"In the space formerly inhabited by Phillips Lounge, restaurant Jatoba welcomes its guests into a truly enchanting setting. For those who are okay with handing over their whole wallet for a meal, this address is sure to impress. The cornerstone of the Jatoba experience is the iconic seafood platter – chef Olivier Vigneault’s specialty."

"Refusing to be locked into one type of Asian cuisine, Jatoba does a range of plates from chicken curry with coconut milk to a selection of dumplings. Also, check out that lovely terrasse."

"You planned a trip to Montreal to celebrate something - maybe a birthday, an anniversary, or the fact that you’ve lived with another person for three months and still like them.

It is not uncommon to share the restaurant with celebrities who also come to dine on this exceptional food."

"If you’re the type you can’t get enough sushi in a single setting, this all-you-can-eat option’s the best of the best to fill up on dozens of rolls and appetizers until your stomach can handle another bite. Seaweed salad, specialty makis, sashimi; the sheer quality and variety here are just what you need for a full feast. And if you brought someone who needs a break from nori, rice and fish?"

"A post shared by 🍣 Level Sushi St Denis (@level_sushi_saint_denis). If you’re a fan of sushi, especially in the variety of trying to eat as much as you can, the quality at Sushi St-Denis is top-notch plus you can fill up on rolls and appetizers until your heart is content."

"DHC Foundation for Contemporary art is another awesome not-for-profit which every year offers a handful of long-running exhibits for the public to enjoy, totally free.

Where: 451 & 465 St-Jean Street"

Right now, the PHI Foundation is presenting Korean artist Lee Bae’s UNION presents over 40 of his works, which uses the medium of charcoal to create compelling visual pieces. You can book your visit to the gallery here."

"As Montreal moved past the Art Deco phase, Brutalism soon took over... but there are Brutalist buildings to love!. Plus, many other, more recent projects in the city prove that Montreal is an architectural hub with designers that don't waste the chance to turn a cultural physical site into a cultural landmark."

"Many historical buildings in Vieux-Montreal are still standing in their original form, even if they're now being used as something other than what they were built for — or turned into a museum. Consider this little tour if you're looking to feel as if you've stepped back in time... or, Europe, at least."

"This historic home commemorates the accomplishments of Cartier, an important Father of Confederation. It is the only Victorian-style interior open to the public in Montréal."

Outdoor whirlpool, temperate and ice baths, Finnish saunas, eucalyptus steam bath, thermal and Nordic waterfalls, indoor and outdoor relaxation areas with fireplace."

"Strom Spa’s philosophy is to combine the Nordic spa experience with urban living. Only minutes away from Montreal’s city centre, this Nun’s Island spa offers a myriad of baths at different temperatures. They believe in the benefits of plunging into hot and cold baths to release toxins and promote relaxation of the body and soul."

"À quelques minutes du centre-ville, l’établissement offre une pause mieux-être avec, entre autres, ses bains à remous en plein air, ses bains de vapeur aux huiles essentielles, son espace foyer et son quai installé sur le lac des Battures. Mention d’honneur à la boutique et aux jolies trouvailles qu’on y fait."

"Located inside the luxurious Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth hotel, this spa embodies the experience of escaping the city without leaving it, given its location in the downtown core. While it caters to business crowds, it’s far from exclusive when considering the bonuses it offers: Two hours of facials, manicures, pedicures, massages and/or body treatments here get you full access to the hotel’s indoor pool, jacuzzi and fitness center. And if you’re looking to gift a man in your life, take note: This place likes to offer male-oriented treatments like basalt stone massages, triple facials and ‘executive’ pedicures."

"This Old Montreal hotel’s giving other spas in its neighborhood a run for its money with its combination of thermal circuits, massages and body treatments with full package experiences like its bed filled with warm quartz sand where you receive acupuncture and body massages (not to mention the holistic Kansa Wand foot massages!). Even if you’re looking to keep it cheap, the range of options in the thermal circuit—salt, rain, sauna, steam, herbal and ice therapies—goes for a song at $60 (or $45 if you booked a stay at the William Gray Hotel)."

"The Hotel William Gray has a reputation in Montréal as one of the most elegant and refined accommodations, and its spa is no exception. The hotel occupies two buildings, both of which date back to the 18th century. The spa itself is an extension of the hotel’s luxury services."
