Tiradito is Montreal's vibrant spot for Japanese-Peruvian fusion, serving flavorful small plates and tropical cocktails in a lively, bar-centric atmosphere.
"If you’ve never tried Nikkei cuisine (the fusion of Japanese and Peruvian), Tiradito is a stellar introduction. Start off with a pisco sour to accompany one of their ceviches or the titular tiradito (akin to sashimi). Bring friends: the small plates are made to share." - Daniel Bromberg, Mallory Frayn
"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
"Tiradito made a splash when it landed on the local culinary scene in 2016, and it continues to impress with its Peruvian-Japanese (or Nikkei) fare — all served from behind a stylish wrap-around bar. Try the octopus anticucho (grilled skewers), crab causa (made here with tobiko, avocado, and a maple emulsion), its namesake tiradito, a dish of sashimi-style raw fish dressed in a parmesan leche de tigre sauce, and, of course, the mandatory pisco sour." - Daniel Bromberg, Valerie Silva
"A jolly good time The vibe Tropical ambience The crowd Young professionals and nightlifers The drinks Delicious, unusual cocktails The food Small plates that pack a punch" - Isa Tousignant
"Just beyond Place des Arts lies this jovial spot, serving up tropical cocktails and Peruvian-Japanese plates. One of their pisco sours and order of ceviche will go down just fine, any night of the week." - Mallory Frayn
