Japanese fusion fare with sushi, omakase, and Wagyu beef
"A native of Argentina and a Culinary Institute of Japan alum Antonio Park has risen to become one of Canada’s most recognizable chefs. His eponymous sushi restaurant in Westmount is one of the pricier options on this map, but the offering is high-quality and fit for the most special of occasions. Open Tuesday to Saturday for lunch, dinner, and all-day takeout." - Ivy Lerner-Frank, Valerie Silva
"Chef Antonio Park's sushi is the best in the city, and that's because the chef melds the Japanese traditions he absorbed in Tokyo and Osaka with his Korean/Argentinian/Paraguayan/Brazilian heritage. A rich, silky butterfish nigiri might be topped with a paper-thin rondelle of pickled jalapeño. Your beef tataki might be adorned with kimchi; your British Columbia sea urchin will be the size of a plum and served fresh in its beautiful shell. The best idea is to ask for the omakase tasting menu, sit back, and enjoy the ride at this large-windowed space on quaint Victoria Street in Westmount (one of Montreal's poshest neighborhoods)." - Todd Plummer, Isa Tousignant
"Antonio Park’s eponymous restaurant is his first, and is known for some of the city’s finest sushi, hands down. That’s partly due to the restaurant’s private import license for its seafood while incorporating Park’s background in Korean and South American flavours. The restaurant also boasts having a line on A5 Wagyu, and that means luxurious burgers and steaks as well. A true crash course comes from Park’s “onigiri box” that gives an omakase-like cross-section of the restaurant’s entire menu." - JP Karwacki
"Chef Antonio Park’s Japanese cuisine fused with flavours from South America and Korea is a Westmount destination — and the sushi-heavy menu is ideal for a gluten-free diet, with plenty of reminders on the website to notify the restaurant of any dietary restrictions when ordering. Make sure to request gluten-free soy sauce when placing your order, which can be delivered for free if over $40 and within a 6 km radius of the restaurant." - Holly Tousignant, Tim Forster, Kaitlyn McInnis
"Chef Antonio Park needs no introduction: the well-versed sushi chef continues to set the bar with one of the top destinations for Japanese cuisine in the city. While the dinner omakase will set you back $95 per person, the lunch option starts at $65 per person, a relative bargain." - Carla Bragagnolo, Daniel Bromberg
