Sashimi platters, omakase, Wagyu, Korean & South American flavors
"At Westmount, Chef-owner Antonio Park serves up vibrant and balanced Japanese/South American fusion cuisine. To the sound of 80s pop, diners tuck into dishes such as precisely cooked suzuki accompanied by fragrant chimichurri and maitake mushrooms, or a selection of tuna sushi with specialty condiments: bluefin tuna with daikon steeped in yuzu, marinated jalapeño albacore, longfin tuna with ginger flower... This is an extensive and mouthwatering menu, that is also available as an omakase experience in the evening, for a culinary voyage with stopovers in Japan and Argentina." - Michelin Inspector
"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
Tony watched a game of "shinny hockey," a pickup game of street hockey played on the ice. Meanwhile they ate Choucroute garnie a l'alsacienne (lots of meats and sausages piled on a plate).
"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
