"Montreal's first proper Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian fusion) restaurant, located half a block from the Palais des Congrès, Tiradito blends the two cuisines into small plates that are packed with color, texture, and flavor. Chef Marcel Olivier Larrea's tiradito—a saucy version of sashimi with fiery aji amarillo chili, miso, and tamarind, and topped with crunchy Peruvian grilled corn kernels—is a good place to start. Other must-orders are the deep-fried octopus anticucho, served with dark, salty-sweet sauce, and the barbecued duck sandwich in a steamed bun." - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant
