"Chef Takuya Matsuda opened his upscale omakase sushi restaurant Okeya Kyujiro in Downtown Montreal in January 2021, garnering plenty of praise for its dinner experience — he’s intent on offering a culinary performance from behind a wrap-around central counter. Now, the restaurant has become a brunch destination, too, with one 12:30 p.m. service on Saturdays and Sundays. Expect 15 mostly nigiri-based courses for $150 a head." - JP Karwacki, Valerie Silva

"After seeing a performance of Cirque du Soleil, chef Takuya Matsuda knew he wanted to put on a similarly enthralling show for diners, demonstrating Japanese cooking techniques from an open kitchen. Kimono-clad servers and approximately 20 courses (mostly sushi) are offered at this downtown omakase restaurant — with upscale prices to match." - Ivy Lerner-Frank, Valerie Silva

"Led by chef Takuya Matsuda, this omakase (“chef’s choice”) restaurant is somewhat atypical in a city where diners love to choose their own plates. In this context, it’s all sit-back-and-relax while the chef prepares dishes made from freshly imported fish from all over the world. Reservation only, menu is 250$ per person." - Daniel Bromberg
