Bar OTTO

I went there for Valentine's Day and had a great night there. The food was really good and surprised me. Especially the katsudon, i did not expect the pork to be this big and still be juicy inside. The other meals also packed a lot of flavour and only made me want to have more. The place itself was not cramped and it was not too noisy. I would definitely go back there again!

All the ingredients are very fresh which makes every bite an incredible experience. Definitely on the more expensive side and a bit of a wait between dishes, but it attests to the detail and care they put into their food. Great service as well. Personally wasn’t a huge fan of the eggplant but the rest was top tier. I will definitely be back to relive some of the great bites, and discover new ones.

We tried an assortment of things, the Bao buns were my favourite and the dumplings were my friends favourite. I'd go back just for the boa buns. The nigiri assorted plate was amazing, the next best thing to being back in Japan. The cod cheeks were just okay, I liked how they were prepared though, never tried cod cheeks before but it was likely the best possible presentation and combination of flavors, nice and light tasting. The miso old fashioned was OUT of this world! Best cocktail ever, I had to order two. Parked at Atwater market, short walk. Service was next level, super impressed, wiped down the table between each service, super friendly. They refilled our water even though the bottle was left on the table. Hard to come by good service like this. For the price point this stood out to me. Easy to get a table at 630 on Friday, place was packed by 730. Thank you for a memorable evening ❤️

It’s a chic restaurant close to the STM and extremely charming. The duck bun bao is absolutely incredible. The miso octopus is great as well. The sushi dishes are interesting and the menu is full of unique options.

Came here on a date with my wife and enjoyed my time here. While it's not a restaurant I'm exactly willing to drive out of way for, I'm still very happy to have tried it. We ordered the hand rolls, the salmon baos and the mazemen. Everything tasted delicious, but I thought everything was either too small of a portion or way too expensive. My favorite dish was the salmon Bao, which come in a set of 2. The flavors complimented eachother really nicely and the bun was homemade fresh, which you can taste right away. The hand rolls are good, but was way too expensive. The noodles we got as the main dish were very good, though a bit on the oily side. The whole thing was $120 after tax and we didn't order any drinks.

The restaurant was cozy and nice! The staffs were very professional and kind! We ordered fried chicken to share and I ordered a porc katsu! I liked the mashed potatoes but wish if they could have served rice with it! The portion was pretty big so it might be better to order some other small dish and share! I think this place is more known for sashimi and nigiri, so that is something I am going to try next time!!

Everything was great but the spicy Salmon with the jalapeno was AMAZING! Definitely a great find! 😊

Wow, what a great resto with delicious food! We ordered various cocktail and drinks. The waitee brought free yuzu sake shooters which were very good! We shared the best soft shell crab buns, marinated tuna and endives as appetizers. We then tried their duck breast mazemen and spiky ikura mazemen, super good! We ended with the two desserts: light yuzu cheesecake and chocolate matcha cake, so full but perfect ending!

Excellent food. A bit pricey for both the plates and drinks, so you need to be okay with spending a bit here. My date and I split a few dishes, and everything was super tasty. Very nice staff as well.

Amazing service, some of the best sushi I have ever had. The environment was really cute. It's a little expensive but 100% worth the cost, will be retuning

Quality ingredients and well thought out Japanese dishes helps Bar Otto earn 5 stars from me. My friends and I made reservations a couple of days ahead. When we arrived on a week day the whole place was packed. We ordered the eggplant, octopus salad, zuke maguro, scallop ceviche, beef tartare, uni hotate mazemen, wagyu mazemen and the chirashi. We loved the mazemen and the fresh chirashi. The highlights include the wagyu and the melt in your mouth seafood . The uni with bone marrow with the mazemen added some great textures. The chirashi had some fresh toro with caviar and salmon roe. The rice itself was something else very tasty. Price wise you get what you pay for here. Our bill came out to around $70 including tip which isn't that bad considering all of the food that we got. They feature an extensive sake menu as well. We ordered the Gindara and it was smooth. We saw a 1 L big bottle option as well. I'll definitely be back to try their other menu items and their sushi boat.

I was so excited to try this restaurant and it was soooo underwhelming. Uni was not fresh & pungent. Toro nigiri with uni paired a sour sauce and was unpleasant. All the seafood was not fresh, lack of texture and I had better in my home town. I was not impressed with The beef Tartare, it was not fresh and blend, not well seasoned and very bad texture. It was so chunky, nothing to pair with it. Just sooo bad. The Wagyu with bone marrow & the mushroom & Parmesan were amazing. Pls do not order the uni & scallop bone marrow one, it was so underwhelming, we were sharing and we ate the noodle but the uni was so pungent. We did tell the server but she didn't do anything about it. Well save your money somewhere else if you want some good seafood otherwise the Wagyu & bone marrow is a good dish to try.

Bar Otto is a Japanese restaurant located in the Little Burgundy neighborhood of Montreal, Quebec. On the menu: * Karaage (Japanese fried chicken, Yuzu mayo) * Zuke Maguro (Marinated bluefin tuna, avocado, cherry tomatoes and endives) * Whelk Ceviche (Mango, cilantro, jalapeno, cucumber, edamame and Yuzu dressing) * Nigiri Box (12 Pcs) The Karaage is perfectly crispy, in its golden, dry batter, and is paired with the flavourful Yuzu mayo dip. The marinated bluefin tuna is extra fresh and is mixed with fresh cherry tomatoes and ripe avocados, sitting atop a bed of crunchy endive leaves. Whelk Ceviche, with its unique texture and an array of fresh veggies, and the refreshing Yuzu dressing, make it for a extra fresh spring salad-like dish. The fish in the Nigiri box set were very fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. Instagram: @bar.ottomtl

Pretty disappointed! Heard really good things about this restaurant so was excited to try it out. Started with chicken karage ~ definitely far from the best one I tried. The chicken was under-seasoned and not crispy at all. I don't think the chicken was even dipped in any batter. Soft shell crab bao - ok but not wow. I would have like it to have some pickled vegetables to cut the oilyness of the crab. Octopus carpaccio - decent. Noodles with bone marrow and uni ~ like the texture of the noodles as they were springy. Wished there was more uni on the dish as it was pricey! Would have liked it slightly more seasoned. The best items were the nigiri with wagyu and uni on top. Melted in your mouth but it is $15/piece. Overall I thought it was pricey for the food you get. Will Not go back.

Bar Otto is one of the newest restaurant of the Otto family! It all started with Otto yakitori on St-Mathieu, then Otto bistro in Mont-Royal and now finally the best of both worlds in St-Henri. The decor is beautiful, minimalistic and with the perfect touch of upscale look. The greenery of the bar compliments their furniture. The bar gives people a cozy kind of feeling! To start, we ordered the uni sashimi and the sashimi platter. All the sashimis were extremely fresh and well worth the cost. As for tapas, we ordered the eggplant, the karaage and the chicken skins. The eggplant was the perfect salty and spicy marinate. It had these little crunchy pieces which made the perfect pair with the soft texture of the eggplant. The karaage were very big pieces; crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Oh... for the chicken skins.... always amazing!!!!! Lastly the duck confit mazemen... delicious delicious, a must if you come here! You will not be disappointed!!! Extremely tender, tasteful and beautifully presented!!! If you love Otto yakitori and Otto bistro, you will love love love Bar Otto

First stop en route arrival in Montreal. Great atmosphere and very exceptional customer service. Served till late hours. Great selections of cocktails. Amazing dishes. One of my favourites were the whelk and scallop, miso black cod and the beef tartare.

Pleasant friday night at bar otto. Cocktails were stiff, service courteous and quick. We went for a couple of entrées like Karage and two ramens that turned out to be pretty good. Beer and wine was decently priced too. Would recommend. Good vibes, not as raucous as an izakaya.

Decent food but pricey. We shared the eggplant, spicy ikura mazemen, the croquette, the sashimi platter and some skewers. They were all pretty good and the presentation was nice. My personal faves are the chicken skin skewers and the croquettes. The menu consists of tapas so the portions aren't big as they're meant to be shared. Our final amount was around 45-52$ after tax per person depending on the drink we got. It is definitely pricey considering that we weren't full. As for the service, the food came pretty quickly and the staff were nice and friendly. The inside doesn't feel like a japanese restaurant at all. I would probably come back to try some of their other stuff but I will definitely try to order something more filling to avoid being hungry. Make sure you reserve before coming if it's on a weekend!

So happy to see restaurants like this one open in South-west. Good wine list, nice cocktails, plates to share, what's not to like? We highly recommend sharing plates so we get to taste it all. Sashimis we're fresh, I just hope they were served earlier during the meal. Skewers should not be skipped. Tasty and traditional. Fried chicken kaarage was tasty, we added truffle mayo on the side. Smoked trout croquettes is a great fusion dish. Pork bun and ursin ramen with bone marrow was a hit. Overall our favourite dish, believe it or not, was the brussel sprouts. Perfectly cripsy, sweet and sour, topped with almonds.
