"Formerly known as Otto Bistro, this itty-bitty Japanese joint in the Plateau neighborhood has built a devoted following, largely thanks to its mastery of raw fish — sashimi, chirashi, nigiri, and maguro don. But Hiroshi Kitano’s one-man kitchen operation churns out plenty more than just seafood, including duck confit mazeman, uni carbonara, and wild boar mapo tofu. With just a handful of tables and bar seats offering a front-row view of Kitano’s craft, this nondescript Mont-Royal Avenue spot keeps things low-key and intimate. For yoshoku, Japanese takes on Western foods, check out Ohayo Café, Kitano’s latest project just next door. Best for: Impressing a date or treating yourself to a solo feast." - Valerie Silva
